 "Policemen Elledge and Brown reported a burglary when they went off duty at midnight. They told us to look out for it and stop all people to see what they did was all right.

preceding Saturday and progressed
proportionately as the nations birth
day wore on. The houses round about
were filled to overflowing with merry
guests, from which laughter and song
filtered forth in the general proclama-

the Howards, the Henry SCOTS, the
Walter Martins, the Carolans, the JOS

which really wouldn't have been the

The golf tournament was, of course,
the climax of the prepared fun
and that type of fun. by the way, is
usually stupid. But the game proved
the exception. The playing was clever,
though Mrs. Laurance Scott rather dis
appointed her admirers, not showing
her usual splendid style. OF course
two years having elapsed since her ac-

she used to show could scarcely. be ex-

Miss Whittell acquitted herself

remains for Professor Loeb to tell us.
There has long been an analytical dis
cussion in London of the charm Of the
American girl, and what do you sup
pose has been the deduction? Why,
her animation as expressed in gesticu-
lation! Time was when even American
girls-particularly those of the rigid
schools of New England-were taught
to preserve an icy exterior, with a we'll
bred immobility of feature in conver-
sation. But the Creole maid, and her
vivacious sister of the South, with their
magnetism and spOntaneity, were car
rying of the honors of the social world.
and the Northern maid took notice.
And thus to-day is vivacity the keynote
of the charm of la belle Americana
of North and South. SO what think you
of a school established in London for
the purpose of teaching the uses in
conversation of the eyes and eye
brows, the facial muscles. and those
of fingers and the hand
But all gesticulation that is not
prompted by thought always seems
forced and unfit. However, a habit
of animation may be cultivated by this
sort of instruction, and then the inn
pulses of the mind may be expressed
by natural gestures.
