Not Up to the Standard.

Ibsen has invaded the sacred pre-. cincts of the select boarding school for young ladies. He has entered dis. guised as course in northern lit. erature." He may be found even in the fashionable New York finishing schools. where the budding social lead. CTS go to take luncheon and recess. In one of these establishments a blonde beauty taking the Ibsen course recently remarked to her instructor: Y don't think Ibsen knew much about dramatic art. I've just been to see The Master Builder and they wore the same costumes all the way through"
 The astonished instructor swallowed quickly and responded: Don't judge lbsen by one play. In 'Hedda Gabler' they wear morning. afternoon and evening clothes It's really quite dressy!"

DON'T WANT THEM ON A JURY
Lawyers Have Prejudice Against
 Curiy-Haired Men.

It Is not generally known that there Is well-defined prejudice against curly-haired men when 1t comes to choosing jury. When asked to ex. plain the objection to curly-haircd men. prominent lawyer said:
 When I was just starting life my legal mentor inculcated that idea very forcibly into me, He said that curly haired men almost invariably had been the pampered darlings of their parents, and in their youth had been so accustomed to having their own way that they had grown up in the be lief that everybody on earth was wrong except themselves. In this way the seeds of opposition were sown. and as men they made it point to disagree with everybody and every thing. If every other man on a jury voted one way they would vote the other. They usually are as stub born as the day is long. Hence a curly-haired man never goes on a jury if l can prevent it.

Treatment of Hardwood.

In these days of polished wood stairs and railways it Is almost i'm possible. even with frequent polishing, to keep the wood from getting black. This is because the dust and dirt catches in the wax. and fresh rubbing only buries it deeper.
 good scrubbing with soap powder every month will remove the dirt, and 1t may be scrubbed just as energet- ically as the plaineSt of kitchen floors. Then. when the wax is applied with the aid of the usual heavy polish the color of the wood will have returned in all the glory of it's first days.
