Male Blushers,

one of the most i'll founded Of all
popular decisions is that blushing is
the special characteristic OF the female
sex. AS il matter of fact. except in the
case or very young girls. men blush far
more readily than women. The well
bred woman never bushes at all. while
1t is Il matter Of everyday experience
,hat in the excitement of business or
political discussions mems checks red
den with very little provocation. What
ever may have been the case a hum
dred years ago, the modern woman
shows her emotion not by blushing. but
by turning pale.-Iondon Taller.

"DOin=" Europe In Nour Mind.

According to Cairo contemporary.
persons who wish to let their friends
know that they are doing" Europe on
a princely scale the while they are liv-
ing in retirement for time need ONLY
apply to an agency in Paris, which will
undertake to send your letters to prac-
ticaly any place in Europe you may Sc
lect and there to have them posted for
you on any date you may choose. The
demand for such an institution arose
out of the absolute horror the Partisan
OF high life has of being suspected of
remaining in Paris or it's cnvirons in
the bathing season. One feature of the
joke is that you can not only set your
letters posted from some distant SPOT,
but you can get answers received for
you and rcposted to your temporary hid
ing place. There are great possibilities
for American travellers in this. WHY
not stay in America and do Europe?
