Book Must Have Been Funny, but No
One Knew What Is Was.

1t must have been a very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle of the car, the pic.
lures looked funny, and the young
lady who was reading it doubled up
in fits of stified laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently so funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he unblushingly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup
pressed merriment
The woman in the seat at right an.
giles became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder. Presently
her face broadened into a grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking.
The man in the seat across smiled at
the scene. A boy few seats down
the aisle grinned sympathetically A
darky still further down showed all
his white teeth. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
of Mysteries, when the falr reader got
up to leave the train, yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.

FACTS ABOUT FIGURE NINE.
Professor of the Occult Has Added a
New Wrinkle.

Mathematicians have juggled with
the mystic figures 8, and for ages,
and now comes a foreign professor"
of the occult science to tell fortune
by the force in simple numeral'-
the 9. He reminds his victims that il
they multiply any number, short of
decimal. by 8 the two figures of the
product added together will make Q.
Thus: Nine times are IS, and and
1 are 8; 8 times 3 are 27, and and 2
are g. 9 times are 45, and and
are g. 9 times 6 are 54 and and
are 9; times are 63, and 3 and
are 8; times s are 72, and and
are 8; 9 time are 81, and 1 and 8 are
9. He might have added that any
number in the hundreds OF thousands
multiplied by 9 will give a product
the sum of whose digits is multiple
of 9. Take at random-9 times 545
are 1905, the sum of which is IS, and
9 into IS goes 2 times. Take 1852
multiplied by equals 66,16S; the sum
of the digits is 81; 9 into 27 goes
3 times. Oh, there is an immense
amount of fun in 8.

PROPER CARE OF CLOTHES.
Time Well Spent in Keeping Belong
ings in Order.

We all like good clothes and the
feeling of being well dressed. 1t is
not entirely a question of money; it
is also matter of detail and of giving
small portion of our time to keeping
our belongings in order. No matter
how expensive or well fitting ones
dress is the appearance is spoiled by
soiled stock or piece of lace or a
crushed and frayed skirt.
Just stop and think what a saving
of time and money the short skirt is
to a woman, especially the busy wom-
an. No skirt braids need renewal; no
frayed edges give her an untidy ap-
pearance.
Take look at your everyday skirt
and think what an improvement a
good pressing would be to it, This
can be done very easily at home and
should be done every week or two.
Place your skirt on a covered ironing
board and have handy two hot irons
rather heavy in weight; now cover the
portions to be pressed with a thor
oughly wet piece of unbleached mus
lin folded double, and when pressing
don't move the iron too quickly over
it, but press until the material stops
steaming.
Should there remain dulled or
glazed spots sponge lightly and press
again. This repressing, when damp,
will form steam that will remove such
spots.
