"Once upon q time, when Nine. Albon

names of her detractors and where they

"'With pleasure was the reply. We

ooh, nothing, except that, being an

Your Name and Address In a Letter

Make a practice Of signing your name
In full; 1t is tho digniled way. Andif you
have not given your address in the begin.
ming, be sure you do it at the close Of your
letters. To date letters is q good habit, but
in most correspondence it is not 80 impor
tant as to give your address. Don't as
sumo that people remember it; you may
occupy less space in their minds than you
think, and don't make them take the trou'
bic of looking you up in an address book
Finally and emphatically, never use q
title in signing your own name. II you
want q stranger to know whether you are
Miss or Mrs. put the proper term in pa.
rentheses before your name; but nothing
Dould be worse form than to directly in
eludo 1t in your signature. -"Correct
Usage In Letter Writing" by Viola Rose-

Wax fixtures.

The best wax figures in the world az
made IN New York. One firm here haS
two to show In its store. Each Of these
figures cost 5000. They are made entirely
of wax and are the exact counterparts OF
two famous New York models. The first
figure was sculptured after q French girl
Almost the only difference between tho
little French model and the polite, dainty
figure in wax L. that the girl Of flesh and
blood has dark hair and the hair Of the
wax figure Is yellow. The second figure
is that Of an American woman. Her dg-
ure and the soft pink flush Of the skin
seem almost perfect. The woman who
stood for the model Of this n was said
to have the best American figure In Now

A SEAMLESS TUBE.
theys Are Three Operations ~
Which It May Be Made.

Which 1t May Be Made.
Henry Souther said at a recent meeting
OF the National Association Of Mechanical
Engineers that the scientific and technical
designation Of q tube, whether scanned On
seamless, depended solely upon the tuba
Itself and not upon the process followed
In It's manufacture. Referring to the do
tionary you will find that the word "seam-
less'' means without seam, which conveys
no light upon the subject. Turning to ths
word "seam," it isfound that it Is defined
as q Joint, suture, or line Of union sndhers
In the last term we find the key. A tubs
jointed In any way cannot be seamless. II
in the primary stages Of its manufacture
1t be lap, butt or lock jointed, 1t cannot
by any subsequent operation be deprived
of the seam and therefore cannot be con.
sidered when completed as being seamless.
A strictly seamless tube may be made
by any one Of three operations-frst, .
billet may be by successive steps punched
into the form of q tube with extremely
H,rhick sides, and these may then BY III or
dinarSI,swing processes be reduced @
tube with tim < TS: TeFs, tie billet may
be bored or the blank may be cast with
hole in it and in either case then drawn
to the required dimensions; thirdly, thu
tube may be made by the cupping process,
which consists In taking q disk OF the
metal, forming 1t into q cup shape, grad.
ually elongating the cup and reducing IL
In diameter and finally by this means pro-
ducing q tube.
Each and all Of these processes yield Q
tube which Is absolutely seamless and
about which there Is and a be no dis
pute. In all tubes formed with q scam
the edges have first been separated, then
united, either by lap or butt weld or BY
some lock joint system, and In these the
Joint cannot be eliminated by any afts1
processes. The custom houses Of tbs
United States recognize the difference Be.
tween a seam and q seamless tube. A
seamless tube Is one in which the walll
have never been separated from the tins
the metal was in q molten condition to thu
time of the completion Of the tube.-lroa
