photograph gallery smiles. Only by the results
of such handicap contest can it be decided
whether the race is always with the rouge.
In the advertisements Haunted by the various
partisans a hopeless disparity Of tastes appears.
The Chicago braggarts do not accept the dictum
Handsome is that handsome does" for their
champion lives in Chicago. The Kentuckians
hint at curious criteria when they class their
beauties with corn whiskey, trOtting horses and
blue grass After much thinking, must con-
fess ourselves bafled in the attempt TO discover
the principles Of harmony justifying the above
classification. We can manipulate metaphors so as
TO make the trOtting horse comparison intelli-
gibIe but where do corn whisley and blue grass
come in?
Still more astounding though, are the boasts
Of Baltimore The Baltimore girl is declared to
be las comely as the tents of Kedar." That
complexion should be most beautiful when 1T
matches a piece of OverwOrked canvas is re-
markabIe. But it is not so mystifylng as the
further brag that the Baltimore girl has eyes
''Ilke the pools of HeshbOn and teeth like flock
"of goats on Mount Gilead" Really, there are
as many tastes as there are men. To our eyes,
pools look watery, except when they are frozen
over: and watery eyes suggest corn whiskey and
n bad cold. rather than Venus In our long OBJ
servations Of goats we have found that a flock
of the creatures is movable irregularly distrib-
uted and noisy. none of which qualities are
charming in teeth. according to our standards Of
taste and dentistry When we consider, further
more. that some people prefer blondes and others
brunettes, some languishlng maidens and others
the sprIghtly sort, some the tall and others the
short. some the persOnifed straight line and
others the apple dumping variety, and so on. in
endless antithess throughout the whole category
of feminine Gualities-when we consider all this.
We wonder why men argue and women listen.
Can it he that various regions Of our country
are developing not only their own peculiar FEM
mime types, but also equally peculiar masculine
tastes?
The suspicion is a horrible one, for 1t means
that we shall speedily become cOngeries Of
tribes. each worshipping its own goddess. IT
masculine tastes are coming to be determined
geographically. there will soon be no more love
affairs aud weddings between maids and men OF
different towns Such catastrophe would not
only injure jewellers, statOners, florists. Confec-
TONERS. restaurant keepers and cab drivers, but
might even reduce business between towns so
much that the Interstate Commerce Commission
would become superhuous and federalism be
threatened.

AZ EPIDEMIC or RRAG.

The man who is always quoting the ictum
that there is no dsPuting over tastes" either is
careless with his words or else does not read
the newspapers. If he is careless, we forgive
him, for nothing is quite easy as being care
less when talking about matters of taste. But
If he really means that energetic fight can
not be stirred up over aesthetic issues, somebody
ought to present 10 him the files of American
newspapers for the last few months Therein
he would find veritable epidemic Of brag on
the subject OF fair women.
The hard winter seems To have told unon our

nnNER OR cHArFFEUR.

A citizen of Long Island reversed the order
of things a few days ago when he refused to
pay the fine imposed on his chauffeur for trans
crossing the speed laws. In angry tones he
said to the law officer: IN see the man in Jail
frst-he'll have to pay" The resolution was
forgotten however, when the chauffeur con-
fessed bankruptcy. With n chauffeur in Jail
an automobile IS of little use 10 most persons
and so the wise man from Long Island paid
the fine of his chauffeur, they rode away to-
gether and were happy ever after-nO, not
quite Only until the road agent again appeared
from behind a tree. out of the ground, as it
were. and informed them that they had been
going thirty-twO miles an hour. or thereabOuts
This sequel to the fine experience has not yet
developed but it will. Then will follow argu-
ment comparison Of watches. trip to court
evidence lecture from the bench and fine.
And again the wise man will pay, use I'M
parliamentary language and make resolutions
which he will break.
When this has happened several times he will
wonder whether it would not be better TO de-
duct the fines from the chauffeur's pay. If he
convinces himself of the wisdom of this pol
icy his days in the automobile world are num-
bered. and he will have the experience of the
summer hotel proprietor who, TO make his
walters more careful, posted a notice that -
The notice came down the next day, with the
explanation that walters who broke saucer
or q butter plate got even" by dropping n soup
tureen. The owner must pay-directly If he
is wise, doubly If he tries 10 mako his chauf-
feur the scapegoat
The automobile season is close at hand, and
the day of the modern road agent will come
with il. The owner who pays his chauffeur
literally and gives him an extra allowance
every month in which there has been no tire
and no police trouble will probably enjoy the
season more than his neighbOr who allows his
man to speed. He will be passed on the road
by his swift neighbOr Oh many occasions, but
some day when he is coming 10 town he will
see his friends machine in front of a grocery
store which has courtroom annex, and he will
know that il did not stop there because his
neighbor wanted TO buy box of sardines.
While the machines are being made ready for
the daily runs TO and from country homes il
is we'll to remember that there will probably
be no relaxation of vigilance on the part of
village authorities and that in some places tho
Long Island man who for moment refused
to pay his chauffeurs fine would have no
choice in the matter of fine and possible i'm
prisonment, because the owners, and not the
men who run the automobiles will be held re-
spOnsible. This was probably in the mind Of
the humanitarian wag who wrote in large white
letters OH a rock at the side of a WestChester
highway: Train your chauf in tho way he
should go-or he'll land YOU in jail.

WIRELESS TELEPHONY.

A recent demonstration IN this city Of the
possibility OF telephone communication with
out wires directs attention afresh To a line OF
experiment 10 which much study has been de
voted in the last five or six years. 1t also EN-
phaszes the limitations To which the art must
obviously be subject, even though great i'm
prOvements should as is probable, he Effected
At present it is practicable In the metropo-
lis for people who use the device which Bell
gave 10 the world to conduct many thousand
conversations Mt the same Identical instant.
The number could be increased indefinitely.
too. by supplying the necessary wires and op-
orators. For tine other system OF telephony
single conductor, the ether. must serve. 1t is
not ncredible-indeed. il Is highly probable
that eventually the way will he found 10 utilize
this solitary resource for several telephone
messages at one time. Tuning, which Mar
conf Fessenden and other electricians have
proposed TO rely TO prevent interference in wire
less telegraphy may yield equally satisfactory
results In wireless telephony. no one is yet
bold or learned enough. however, 10 say how
many different wave freQuencies il will prove
feasible 80 employ simultaneously. Perhaps
the assortment will never exceed six or eight.
but In any case the restriction will put wire
less telephony at an enormous disadvantage
as compared with ordinary telephony. The EN-
barrassment will be aggravated, moreover, by
the necessity for sharing with wireless teleg-
raphy the use of the same conductor. The sue
cess of a local exhibition of the wireless tele-
phone the other evening was impaired, for
instance, by an invasion of Hertz waves from
the Brooklyn Navy Yard and at least one other
wireless telegraph station few miles further
away
Thus far the distance covered by the new
system OF communication has been insignifi-
cant. On the occasion just referred to it did
not exceed a quarter of Il mile. Both by inn
prOvements in the apparatus employed and an
increase in the power of the wave generators
it should be possible greatly to extend the
range. Still, it is too soon to cherish any but
modest expectations on this score One of the
American electricians who are at work on the
invention thinks 1t reasonable to hope that
transmission by wireless telephony will ulti-
mately be increased to "frOm one-third to one
half the distance covered by wireless teleg-
"raphy.' Well. if the latter is going TO prove
superior in that respect To the former it ought
to prove such a formidable rival as to secure
most OF tho business were both to operate IN
the same field The outlook for wireless tele-
phOny therefore. is not exactly encouraging. 1t
has been suggested that some day a man in
New York will be able to talk to friends oil
shipboard. Theoretically no doubt, the propo-
sition is tenable but it may not pay to fur
nish the necessary facilities There are many
things that are feasible which are not profitable.
