For house-warming party, a Spo-
zane couple chose, odly enough, an
open-ari fete as more suitable to the
season. They invited their friends to
"a midnight promenade under the
oaks" The guests assembled near an
immense japanese umbrella In the
rear of the lawn and selected their
partners for the promenade by means
of wheel of fortune.
The promenade itself was a wide,

ONE TEST FOR PEARLS.
Berlin Hotel POrter's Experiment
That Was Not a Success.

Berlin Hotel POrter'S Experiment
That Was Not a Success.
The porter OF one of the leading
Berlin hotels has just had curious
adventure Some time ago a dealer
in pearls who was stopping at the
hotel told him an infaIlible way to
distinguish real pearls from false,
which vas TO put them on the
ground and stamp on them. If real
they wouid resist the test, II false
they WnnId be crushed.
The porter. however, never had
chance Of putting this theory to the
test until a few days ago. The di-
rector of a well known company in
Berlin, while dining at the hotel,
lost valuable pearl pin. This was
found by the waiter, who gave II %
the porter to return to it's owner.
The porter saw his opportunity
had come at last TO test the quality
OF a pearl. He put the pin on the
ground. placed his heel on it and
ground it to a powder. When the
owner arrived to claim it there was
q somewhat stormy scene, but he
was good natured enough to consent
to say no more about the affair on
the porter refunding half the value
Of the pin, 500 marks. In futune
the porter win submit as1y jeveIIy
he may find for expert 0HAioa.

Arthur Rance spoke French perfect

Rouletabille and |. outwardly indif-

word the American would say.
The mans purplish red face. his
heavy eyelids. the nervous twitchings,
all spoke OF his addiction to drink.
How came 1t that SO sorry a specimen
OF man should be so intimate with
NJ. Stangerson?
Some days later learned from Fred
eric Larsan- who. like ourselves. was
surprised and mystified by RANGES

the most distinguished phrenologIsts of

explained by the fact that he had rsal
