Young Woman Expresses Ter Views
on the Custom.
81 am tired Of this fashion OF
bowing to every one thai yoEhaye
ever met, said tie giil who had
just returned from a long walk,
according to The Chicago Chron-
icle. ITS a nuisance and farce.
1t means nothing ard becomes
fearfully nOnotonous. Bowling to
your friends is all right. but con
stantly Jerking your head TO the
slightest acquaintance is very tir-
ing. Take, for instance, the nc
uuaintance with whom YOU have
not exchanged a word since your
primary school days. You know it
would be snObbish and hateful
not TO give the nod Of recognition
when YOU meet them; but as they
! have not the glimmcr Of an inter.
est i'm YOU and YOU haven't an
atom of interest in them, il seems
farcical to give the expected nod.
Then there is the acquaint-
ance whom YOU have met once,
and with whom your conversation
has been limited 10 the conven-
tionai words at introductiOn:
Glad to meet YOU You must go
on bobbing at him through a life
time if YOU live in the same town
with him. Tie wishes you would
stop bowling and you wish you
could. You dare not cease the
performance for fear he will think
YOU ii snob, and he, of course, can
do nothing but return your sa-
lutte.
ITO certain type of woman,
however, | suppose there is Ger
tain delight i'm bowling. 1t is like
Il game to her. She takes us much
pleasure in il Us she does i'm an ex-
tcnsive wardrobe. She has
bow for the fresh man,
and the minute afterward she is
bending her neck graciously, all !
smiles and cordiality. for one Of |
the fine fellows When shemeets !
a person who has been employed |
by her some timcin some capacity, |
she bows very patronizingly and |
says very distinctly and benevo-
lently: How do You do. James" |
or: Good morning, Maria
When il is some woman friend |
with whom she is very chummy. |
she gives Il quick little jerk of her
head and laughs right out in her
greeting. If il is Il man that she
knows only slightly, but hopes to
know much better, there is a de-
murcness in her bow and Il side
long glance to accompany it. I'll
she meets some one she considers
above her in the social scale, she
bows slowly, looking directlyintO
the PERSONS eye. Ifitis woman
she hates she moves her head ever
so slightly, just the mere shadow
of nod, which is infinitely worse
than no bow at all. When she
NETS the man she likes best-well,
just ask him how she bows then.

it is a bore to nod to bare acquain-
tances, it is joy to make an art

A quiet young fellow emerged from
a hotel in Liverpool recently and be-
gan polling in the earth with his cane.
Of course, a bystander saw him and
asked what he was about.
I'm looking for a sovereign" was
the answer.
The questioner was interested, and,
procuring a long stick, fell to digging
also. A second man did likewise. and
others followed suit till at least 40 in
dividuals joined in the search. Umbrel-
las, canes, and boot-toes were brought
into requisition and stirred up the dust
to such an extent that the air resound-
ed with a GLORIOUS of sneezes, while the
policeman nearly went distracted in
his fruitless endeavors to dispense the
crowd. Finally some one remembered
to ask the quiet young fellow how he
happened to lose the coin.
ooh, didn't lose any" he replied,
calmly "I just thought I might find
one if kept on looking, that's all"
Then each separate member of that
party of volunteer searchers went ST
