| He has PASSED BY his best friends on

quaintance is equally famous for ney-

self on this gift and she declares
that the faces Of every man, woman
and child whom she has ever met is
photographed on her memory. The alb
scntminded man had passed her by
several times. looking blanky at her.
At last she said:
Il wager a box OF the best cigars
you ever smoked, that will recall my.
self to your recollection the next time /
meet you"
The man. in return wagered a box Of
gloves. One day the woman, going
along Walnut street. felt sure she saw
the NAN. He was abreast OF her and
showed no sign OF recognition. The
woman had an umbrella with her She
gave sudden poke with it and hit the

The Polka,

The polka is the natura, dance for
the feet Of the people Take in evidence
It's origin. \ Bohemian peasant girl
was seen dancing "out of her own
head" extemporizinG from the sheer
joy Of her heart song, tune and steps.
This she did on a Sunday afternoon in
Elbeleinitz. and an artist. one Josef
Neruda. who spied her. made note Of
all he saw. The people Of the town
adopted the dance and called it the
pulka. half step. In 1885 it reached
Prague and Vienna In 1910; thence it
spread rapidly through Europe. When
NJ. Cellarius introduced it to the Pari-
slams. we hear that all else gave way
before 1.-The all absorbing pursuit. the
polka. which embraces in its qualities
the intimacy OF the waltz with the vi.
vacity OF the Irish jig."-Casselrs Mag
