BEGINS 4 FAST LIFE.

Just before the banquet OF the class of 50 she
disappeared from the campus. 1t developed later
that she had been trip to New-London to
attend the class banquet, ana that every member
OF the class had kissed her brazen cheek, vowing
to be true to her until real woman claimed him.
On returning to college the class dumped her In
the college well out OF which she was eventually
fshed by indignant faculty.
She was arraigned before the faculty and her
destruction decreed the ground that she would
speedily become object of class strife. Now
sabrina weighs six hundred pounds, and she is
as tough and solid the usual bronze so her
destruction became problem. In the mean time
awaiting solution of the difficulty was stored

Some enterprising class discovered the faculty

the FACULTY to come and get their "hoodoo.'
She was rescued by the men of 'SS, who turned
her ever to the class of go and her wanderings
began. The class planned a Sabrina banquet in
Springfield, but their plans were discovered by their
1lVais OF 81 The latter stole Sabrina from the
itruckman who had been hired to convey her to
Springfield, and either threw her into the Con-
necticut River or hid her in Two Mile Woods: the
stories differ and are equally well supported.

CHINESE NEATNESS.
Their Personal Habits Contrast With Their
Usual Surroundings.

Next time YOU are in Chinatown, notice
the finger nails of the inhabitants, You
will be surprised, possibly, to find that they
are generally as clean and bright as though
,hey had Just come from the manicure.
Az are his finger nails SO is the rest OF
the Chinaman's body. 1t is one of the
queer contradictions about this contra
dictory people that although their houses
are usually surrounded by fringe of dirt
and although they don't take to modern
sanitation a bit, they are very clearly in
their personal habits.
The daily bath is an institution
bathtub is not necessary. Your China
man manages very well with few cupfuls
OF water and washrag.
He completes his toilet by polishing his
long nails. and every day or so he visits
the barber, who shuves not only the scanty
hair on his face, but also his head and the
inside of his ears. II he can afford it the
Chinaman puts on a clean blouse every
day or two. 1t is no accident that these
people are a nation OF laundrymen, 1t
comes to them naturally.
Last summer a bunch OF university
students took a summer job on big Cali
fornia ranch. The regular hands had
good deal of fun over their habits of per-
sonal cleanliness.
They're regular damn. Cinnamon. said
