Where Feminine Fancy Lights
WHY THEY SHAKE HANDS

There are four reasons why women no
longer kiss each other.
First, it has been proven difficult for
two persons wearing Gainsborough hats
or their notifications to kiss. -
Second, the long flowing wells of the
moment become a tangled mass of
chiffon or net and the large velvet
spots with too rough treatment easily
become detached. <-- -
Third, the complexion, unless ex'
ceedingly well made, is apt to smear
and the powder easily rubs off, pre-
senting a daubed effect. -~~- -.
Fourth, the elaborate blouse and
neck ruffes, with the multitudinous
chains, etc., Of modern dress decora
tions, are easily crushed and quickly
lose their pristine beauty.
1t is therefore considered bad taste
to kiss in public, and so, since there
must be some way of welcoming
friend, the manly handshake has come

Whatever caused Harry Lee, bache-
lor, club man and good deal of a cynic
to saunter into the Central depot that
afternoon he never has been able to
explain except by laying it to fate. He
wasn't going anywhere, didn't want to
see anybody in particular, and he al
ways kept clear of passenger depots on
account of fearful old women and cry
Ing children. on this occasion he had
scarcely caught sight of one fearful old
woman when somebody caught sight
Of him.
And who on earth told you that
was going to Buffalo?" exclaimed a
voice at his elbow as he turned to go
out
1t was Miss Remington, whom he had
known fairly well for a year past and
who had sometimes struck him as be
ing rather good looking and of engag-
ing manners. Just now she was look
Ing unusually well in her travelling

Sir John Macdonald, when premier
of Canada, one evening was present
at public dinner at which he was
expected to deliver a rather impOr-
tant speech. In the cOnviviality of the
occasion he forgot the more serious
duty Of the evening, and when at a
late hour he rose his speech was by no
means so luminous as it might have
been. The reporter, knowing that it
would not do to print his notes as they
stood, called on Sir John next day and
told him that he was not quite sure of
having secured an accurate report
He was invited to read over his notes,
but he had not got far when Sir John
interrupted him with THAT is not
what | said" There was a pause, and
Sir John continued, Let me repeat
my remarks" He then walked up and
down the room and delivered a most
impressive speech in the hearing of the
amused reporter, who took down every
word as It fell from his lips. Having
thanked Sir John for his courtesy, he
was taking his leave when he was re-
called to receive this admonitiOn:
Young man, allow me to give you this
word of advice-never again attempt
to report a public speaker when you
are drunk"
