The JeweIed Lizard Fad
The woman who bows to the dictates

ieweled lizard to hold up her skirt had
better get busy, for the jeweled lizard

| York Jewellers. Many Of the brilliant
! reptiles are being worn at the theaters

six inches long and are made of pre-

no stones are considered too brilliant

pontina downward. There are two
similar prongs which, sprlnging from

metropolis and which are being hailed
with delight by the White Wings, are
kept from dragging on the sidewalks.
"Pneumatic" Spelling
President Roosevelt's fonetic" SPELL
ing reform campaign has started things
in Gotham. The street fakir has aban-
doned the "28" and skiddoo devices
which he sold to pedestrians and Is
now handing out phonetic spoilers at
five per. On Broadway there is a fell
low with hare lip who does a big
business. His bark Is something like
this: "Roo-oo-vel svellers vive cents.

fellow with voice like you could hear
in rolling mill: Teddy Roosevelts

body in New York, 1t seems, Is playing
golf or shinny with the new spelling

Barber's New Stunt
A New York barber has adopted a
clever method to scare his patrons into
the massage habit. On a corner table
he has a fine pocket mirror microscope
and a framed announcement that says:
do you know what the close shave
means? Bring a friend here If he Is
shaved closely and then look at his face
through the microscope. The entire
skin will resemble JHece of raw beef.
To shave the face perfectly smooth
requires not only the removal of the
hair but also a portion of the cuticle.
So that a close shave means the re-
moval of a layer of skin all around,
The blood vessels thus exposed are not
visible to the eye, but under the micro
scope each little, quivering mouth, hold
ing a minute blood drop, protests
against such tre, tment. Bring a friend
and see. The nerve tips are also un-
covered by close shaves and the pores
are left unprotected, which makes the
skin tender and unhealthy. This sud-
den exposure of the inner layer of the
skin renders person liable to cold,
poison and sore throat"

The "schochets'' or Hebrew chicken
slaughterers of New York are on strike
in large numbers, and it is feared the
members of the "chevs schochet hofos"
will not return to work before the
Hebrew holiday, Rosh Hoshana, or New
Year, on September 49, Over 100000
worth of chickens are used by the
Hebrews of New York on this festive
occasion, and it is feared there will be
famine this year In dressed poultry.
Most of all the "Schochets" are rabbls.
| They are strongly organized and will
insist on the continuation of the feeling
syst em-1 cent for chickens they are
called upon to slaughter according to
strict orthodox custom. Most of the
"schochets" kill lambs, calves and
chickens and they are all members of
/ the union. After killing chicken the
"schochet" drops some of the blood ON
the floor and blesses it,
The Caprice of Styles
Fashion is dictated sometimes by
mere caprice or accident; but usually 1t
requires time or a congress of men or
Wome en- to eliminate some particular RAD

Edward then prince Of Wales, was
crossing a muddy street in London he
turned up the bottoms of his trousers.
Then jumped into style the cuff on the
trousers. Not so long ago French

elbow sleeves. Then, magic-like, came
the short sleeve waist Women and
men alike are now in a quandary con-
cerning the suggestion of wearing ap-

short sleeve be dispensed with? Then,
if it should, what would become OF the
pretty Yvette Guilbert gloves, whlcn
everybody admires and which are SO
dressy? Wait until the horse show Is
here in the fall. The greatest social
