usual curiosity Of her sex. especially
about men whom she has just met.
She ascertains the facts about them
too, by a simple method without
subtleties. If she wishes to know q
mans business, whether he has men,
toned it or not, she'll ask: What did
you say your business is2" If 1t IS his
place of residence she wants to know,
she'll ask: Where did you say you
live?"
But she found man one night
recently upon whom her method would
not work. His reply has had her
curious ever since. 1t was at a small
dance on the South Side. Some of the
girls were wondering what the business
of "A new young man was. The girl
with the method heard them talking
and volunteered TO find out. When the
young man drew near she asked;
what did you say your business IS,
Mr.. So-and-So?"
He had not mentioned his business
and he knew it. With a perfectly
solemn face he replied:
Il am a gig catcher for a geewob-
blepede down in Walnut-st.. Miss

GEOGRAPHICAL PROFANITY

Scattered along the coast of Maize

of the New York sun, is a point which
stretches into the river so far as to
narrow the channel and to cause the
in and out flowing tides to ran rapidly
for several rods above and below.

up of pious Methodists. this small cape

the regular payments of these taxes 10y
