LEFT EAR IN TELEPHoNING
Is Brought Into Use for Reasons
Which at a Glance Are
Understandable.

Everybody puts the telephone re-
celver to the left ear. No one, in
using the telephone, ever listens with
the right ear. 1t is always the left.
do we hear better with the leu
ear? Is that, why we always use it In
telephoning?" man asked.
NO" the pretty telephone girl re-
piled. But the receiver, you see. is
hung on the left side of the phone
Hence you have to ne the left ear il
talking, unless you want to incon-
venience yourself.
But why is 1t hung on the left
side?" she went on. Was 1t hur &
there originally because the left ear
had been found acuter than the RICH /?
All, no. the receiver was hung at the
left, SO that the let hand could man
age It. The right hand, in the ca ly
days OF tie ephoning, had all 1t cruli
do to turn the crank-round and round

WAITING MAIDS OF JAPAN.
Damsels Serve the Courses
During Progress of Formal
Dinner.

Unless there are ladies among the
guests. the wife and daughters of the
host do not appear at dinner in Japan
Before the meal begins 1t is customary
for them to bring in small cups of tea
and dainty confectionery. when they
take their survey of the party.
If gentlemen only are present the
Japanese hostess disappears after the
greeting is over, and does not return UNI
til the guests are taking their departure
At signal from the host, barefooted
waiting maids. dressed in graceful and
prettily-tinted kimonos, bring in
lacquer trays bearing tiny covered
bowls. Before setting the trays on the
tables the maids sink gracefully to their
knees and bend forward till their fore
heads touch the floor. Then they serve
dinner, which is of several courses. -

BEAUTY OF AMERICANS.
Secret of 1t Lies in Freedom from the
Mercepary Spirit in
Marriage.

The beauty OF the American lace
has for lone time been the wonder
and the envy OF the world The tall,
1.-the young men of America, with
their bold, intelligent faces, and the
tall and graceful yoang women. so
pretty and clever. have impressed for
eigners profoundly. 1t remained for a
Distinguished foreigner, DIR. Emil
Reich, the Hungarian philosopher, to
tell the world the secret of American
beauty.
DR.. Reich, in conversation with an
American woman in New York, said:
The beauty of nations differs very
much. The Latins are less beautiful
than the Anglo Saxons. The angularity
of the North German woman is notori-
GUS. Money-bag married money lg,
and the result is people of severely
plain aspect.
The Americans are beautiful race.
The American marries because he
loves the woman, and she loves him.
Inc American Is insuted If any men
ton of dowry is made in his wedding
arrangements. Hence the American
people have become exceedingly beau
tiful.
Love is at the bottom of II ALL" Dr.
Reich ended. Love marriages alone
produce beautiful, healthy children.
America is the one country where love
marriages prevail. Hence the Ameri-
can is the worlds most beautiful
race"
