afternoon about six months ago:

Earning Their .sDot. -

The manager of large dressmakins
establishment in New York says: ~
suppose that the most un-American i'm
migrants we get in this country are
not the Chinese or the Poles or the
Hungarians, but the Partisan seam
stresses, milliners and lingerie work
ers. These women come here to save
the price Of dot out of our high
American wages 1t takes from two
to five years to do that. In all that
time they never mix with Americans,
never visit a theater, never make the
first attempt to learn the language
Some Of them go to the French church
on Sundays; otherwise they never
leave their rooms except to shop. This
prenuptial period in New York is just
a time dropped out of their lives. They
talk Of nothing day after day but what
they'll do when they get back to Paris
and begin to live again"

A CITY DIRECTORY Puzzle.

City directories contain many items
of interest. Some of them are in the
nature of revelations; others are puz-
zles. Among the latter class may be
mentioned the queer case of the man
whose Christian name was withheld
from the publishers. HIS surname is
there, all right, and good, respectable
name 1t is, too, of two syllables and a
German prefix, but the name bestowed
upon him at the baptismal fount he re-
fused to make public.
The directory says that he refused.
1t is there in big letters, inclosed in
parentheses Refused) Then follows
the honorable patronymic. That reti-
cence in regard to the Christian name
is the source of many subtle refec-
lions on the part of the reader. Why
was the name refused? Was 1t UNI
eunhonious. unpronounceable unspella-
bic or was it But these suggestions
lead one into a maze Of conjecture that
is positively bewildering; 50. although
The subject is fraught with interest. il
is perhaps best to leave to his own con-
seriousness the reason why that mans
Christian name was Refused. New

when You Lose Your Taste.

"When people lose their TASTE" said
a physician, 'they retain their old likes
and dislkes just the same. Miss Smith,
for instance, can't tell slice Of roast
beef from a fried onion, but she dis
liked onions before her taste went, and
therefore she won't eat them now.
People lose their taste through severe
Illnesses, and with the loss of taste the
loss of smell nearly always goes; hence
queer, cruel practical jokes. know a
woman without smell to whom a pint
of onion juice was sent in cologne
bottle She deluged herself with this
onion juice and appeared in a crowded
heated ballroom.
"To a man without taste or smell all
cheeses must be alike, yet old Brown
low won't touch limburger. He says 1t
would make him Ill, ard probably it
would. 1t is very odd to hear these de-
ficlent people praising and condemning
food and drink. They do 1t, though.
They do 1t as heartily as you or l.
have seen old Brownlow send away In
disgust glass of white wine, claiming

he ate calmly an added egg."-Balti.

Governor Holcvmb of Indiana, who
used 10 ask every man he met, ''What
time is it?'' and, when told, would pull
out his own handsome imported Swiss
$500 timepiece and proceed to set it in
accordance with the information. For
years he did this, and the subtle fiat
terry of accepting without question the

themselves on possessing, was quite
sufficient to give him wide popularity

The versatility of Mr.. Lawson, to-

caused the public to take exceptional
interest in his character He is not
only financier, but yachtsman, an
art connosseur, a gentleman farmer,

love of outdoor life and of manly sport
has kept him young, so that at forty
eight, though his hair is streaked with
gray, he has the vigor of youth, is of
fine physique, handsome of feature and
erect of form. People differ about Mr..
Lawson's character and the accuracy
of his statements about the operations
of Standard Oil financiers, but they
agree in admitting his fearlessness,
while his neighbors in Massachusetts
testify to the ideal character of his do
nestle relations and his devotion to
wife and family Mrs. Lawson, who
was Miss JEANNE A. Goodwillie, is a
woman of many social graces. The

from corporations. Besides these are
the men whose incomes from their

vocation, but money was slow in COM

he rented Il small studio in Boston.
where he made Il great many drawings
and sold one now and then. 1t was a
trip into Bohemia which be counts one
of the pleasantest experiences of his
life. In order to help pay studio rent
Lincoln occasionally wrote a verse or
humorous sketch and illustrated it and
sent it to a publisher. Finding that
these contributions were more market
able than the drawings alone, he began
to give them more serious attention.
Then he was offered the position of
associate editor of the Bulletin. the
official publication of the League of
American Wheelmen, and his humor-

widely quoted and brought him to the
attention of magazine editors.
