Long Talks In London.

Those who sometimes complain of
the inadequate telephone facilities of
London doubtless do not realize that
the metropolitan telephones area is BY
far the largest city telephone area in
the world. covering over $40 square
miles. a space in which Paris, Berlin.
Vienna, st. Petersburg, New York and
Chicago could all be set out with room
to spare. The difficulties and the cost
OF building and maintaining a uniform
telephone system at uniform rates in
such a vast area, especially without
proper facilities for constructing I'M
derground conduits for the wires-fa-
ciities which have always been re-
fused by the authorities though denied
to no other electrical undertaking
are not In the least appreciated by the
average telephone loser.-London En-.

"Friday, the 18Th" BY Thomas w.
lWson.

IW8on.
The heroine is a daring young broker
who retrieves the fortunes of the fam
lily of the woman he loves (they have
been victims of the "System'), with
the greatest coup" in the history Of
'the Street." The fever of money mad
ness and the curse of speculation run
throughout the story. This terrific con-
hict between character and money,
with the shifting and glittering back
ground of frenzied finance, makes a
novel which would be absorbing to ev-
cry man and woman were it by an un-
known author. Being by Mr.. Lawson,
it will undoubtedly be the most discus.
sed book of the year. Mills has it.

AGAINST the Red Shirt.

E. NJ. Alvord, general superintendent
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railway, issued a bulletin at Sedalia,
Mo, Saturday, requesting section men
not to wear red shirts while at work.
The explanation is said to be that an
engineer did not heed a red flag signal
recently, and when taken to task he
explained hat he mistook the flag for
the red shirt of a section man.

The matter OF letting the hands grow
Old is one that every woman should
consider seriously and before the time
comes VIXEN Il IS necessary for her TO do
so. Nothing gives away the age ike the
hands. And unless they are very fat
and Of the pudgy order they begin 20
show age at very early date. The
hands of a woman Of thirty have
already begun 10 look old.
Just what happens no one knows ex-
actIy. But soon after maturity an
almost impercepU5le change begins 20
take place in the hands. The flesh
shrinks away, leaving bones and mus
cles, and the hands lose their shape
The nails crack and grow dark and the
skin gets a weakened look. The hands
of a man have way or keeping young.
But the hands OF woman grow Very
old.
To keep the hands young requires a
hand bath every day. IL must be taken
when there is plenty of time for It. And
the hands must be soaked for fully nj
teen minutes in water as hot as can be
endured. Then the hands must be taken
out and put into a cream bath. This
is nothing more than a bowl Of ordinary
skin food, made little thinner with
almond OIL If the hands are we'll
rubbed with this every day and II the
J cream Is allowed TO sink in they will
/ soon grow plump and white again.
Keeps Nails From Cracking.
/ good nail emolient should be rub
I bed into the nails every night to keep
them from cracking. And each day the
/ flesh should be Wen pushed down at the
/ base of the nails 10 preserve their shape
and keep the moons in sight
Upon every pair Of hands there should
| be ten silver moons. There are no
hands upon which these moons cannot

INGENUITY

With pencil may AFFORD many novel
forms OF anusements. A simple sug-
gestion is to provide sheets of paper
which are placed upon a table in an
even pile, the leader being provided
with six pins. Five Of these are held
above the pile Of sheets, a few feet
away and dropped so that they VIII
not fall or. The sixth pin is used 70
mark the heads OF the other five, the
holes being made through the entire
pile Of sheets. Each guest IL then 10
draw the picture OF some animal, the
outlines Of which shall include one pin
hole IN the head and one IN each or
the hands and feet. or feet alone. II the
figure be other than human.
Or, the artist may commence with the
head of any figure. Fold the paper over
so as to conceal his effort, and pass
along to the right. for the addition OF
the body. His right hand neighbor nav
ing completed the body, hands the paper
over TO the right hand guest, who adds
the legs. When the papers are unfold
ed. as each player is ignorant OF what
his neighbOr has done. the results are
often extremely grotssque.
The game of Predicaments IS OF Ger
man origin. not new, but always novel
and amusing. Each whispers a predica-
ment to his right hand neighbor. For
exa mple: Suppose in entering the
church to be married, just as the
organ struck up the wedding march,
you should get a cramp In your leg
what would YOU do2" Having stated
the predicament. you whisper the rem
edy to the guest on your lett I should
beckon the usher and request him 20
state that since 7 was temporarily in
disposed the ceremony would have to
be deferred for a few minutes."
In this way one receives a Qredica-
ment from one source and remedy
from another. These are repeated
aloud with much amusement caused by
the coupling Of pTedicaments and rene
dies which wer not intended for each
other.
