ION PAROLE"
Examining Wedding Gifts.
JIM

"Women viewing another woman's
wedding presents say things which
are likely to be misinterpreted," said
the bachelor who declares he hates
weddings, but always goes when in
vited, according to the Washington
Post, land other things which no ia
vorable Interpretation would make
complimentary to the bride or to the
givers It's the way of the sex, l sup
pose. Now. why is it that the most
common remark of the women who
are inspecting the layout of silver and
cut glass and other gifts more or less
useful is, What lot Of presents she
got?' They don't mean anything I'M
kind, but the inference an uninitiated
eavesdropper would draw Is that they
wonder why she got so many, as If by
rights she shouldn't have had half so
many. OF course they vary the re-
mark, What lucky girl! says one,
as if she would like to add, Some per-
sons have too much luck And an
other says, I wonder where they all
came FROM, implying almost as if the
bride couldn't have enough friends to
make so many gifts and must have
sent some of them to herself just to
making q showing"

Worlds CIeanest Soldiers.

The Japanese soldier considers it a
disgrace to be dirty. Soldiers of other
nationalities are not always overpar-
ticular but, as Mr.. Kipling has sung:
Oh, east is east, and west is west, and
never the twain shall meet.
However, the japanese military man
is not provided by grateful and be-
neficent government with portable
bath, so when on active service he has
to set his wits to work in order to OBJ
tain the necessary adjuncts to his alb
lutiOns.
The Chinese, for reasons of their
own, manufacture long and large jars,
whose diameter is that Of a western
main drain. 1t occurred to bright
japanese that one might just as well
have bath standing up as lying
down.
Accordingly he and his comrades in
tered jar, built a furnace beneath
it and filed it with water. Soon a
boiling hot bath dubbed before them
ImitatOrs sprang into being and sub
sequently into similar baths.-Bystand-
