sitter woman Of great beauty, but Of
an extremely nervous and Impatient
temperament. During her sittings she
would constantly change her position
and with each shift OF posture her ex-
preston changed. At last the sculptors
patience gave way.

Harmless Joke.

Place a spool of cotton in the In
side pocket Of your coat and, having
threaded a needle with the beginning
of the cotton, pass the needle through
the front Of the coat unthread the
needle and leave about two Inches or
the cotton hanging as if It were only
a stray piece. The first person you
meet will be sure to pick it on you,
and his establishment when he finds
there is no end to it will give plenty
of innocent fun.

Gerald is really O genius. He has

be is a poet of promise. As he stood

We chatted away together, and it

thought Of what Arthur had said
about his guest. As he turned to go
l said, "By the way, Steve, who is
your fifth man for tonight"
"Just an old chum of mine for
