What Do You Think of Them

Chicago, Nov. 19.-From the Inns of
Chicago club woman, Miss Lillian
Shaffner, has come the most startling
of all suggestions for the solving of
criminal problems.
Miss Shaffner would hang all idiots
Brand murderer with a mark on
the forehead and then turn him loose
so that all would recognize him.
Deport foreign criminals, because
it is cheaper than to try them in this
country and support them in this
country's jails.
Put women in Office, because they
could better handle perplexing police
problems than men.

In all the German papers Of August,
1888, appeared an ordinance signed by
the King of Bavaria forbldding civil
ians, on any pretext whatever, to wear
mustaches and commanding the police
authorities to arrest the offenders and
shave them by force. Apparently this
was not necessary, for, according to
French account Of the time, "mustaches

PHOTO TEA A LONDON FAD.
Guests Asked 10 Identity Pictures or
Friends Taken in Childhood.

Guests Asked 10 identify Pictures OF
Friends Taken III childhood.
London society has a new craze, call
ed the photo tea" which has caught
on because it is productive of 50 much
genuine amusement, says the New
York American. Each guest who re-
ceives an invitation is requested to
bring n photograph OF himself or her
self taken before the age of five. All
the photographs are duly numbered,
and a list of names is kept by the.
hostess. After being collected and
shuf1led they are distributed among the
players.
The fun consists in endeavoring to
trace the originals of portraits. so
many minutes are permitted for OBJ
scryation, and then the number of the
photograph and the guess at It's iden-
| tity are written on a sheet Of note
paper. The pictures are then passed
on from one to another, and the same
program is gone through with the new
observer. The result of the second OBJ
| servation Is also recorded.
This goes on until every photograph
has passed through the hands of each
! guest. The lists are then inscribed
with the players names and are col
lected. The player who Is successful
in fixing the identity in most cases re-
ceives the first prize, and the second
and third prizes go to the "nexts' In
the number Of accurate guesses.
The sight of q perpleXed player star
ing fixedly at each guest until he can
make up his mind who was the plump
boy in the velvet knickerbockers or the
chubby-cheeked girl in pinafores and
plaits is funny. One need not be much
of prophet to prognosticate the
speedy appearance Of the game In the
| United States.
