Football and the eentIer Sex.

1t is pertinent and not uncompll-
hentary to speculate upon the in
6ucements that attract so many wom-
en- to football games. A few OF the
genler sex understand all the fine
points OF the game; a large number
appreciate the instants play that In
vites quick and hearty applause,
while the remainder depend, either
very frankly or quite surreptitiously,
upon their escorts or upon the black
boards figures for information as to
how the game is going. Why, then,
all these degrees of knowledge of the
game being considered, do so many
women find an evident and sincere
enjoyment in attending a match?
Probably there are several reasons
that blended together afford an ad-
mirable explanation of their presence.
Everybody gone; it is great fun to
watch the crowd and the moments Of
spontaneous cheering furnish an ex-
,oitement that is keen enough to be

the pleasure of being out Of doors.

"1Ellen, if you are good at guess

the devil should lose his tail where
would he go to get another one?'
After some time spent in guess
ing she gave it up.
"'Well, said he, where they re-

Eager to get it off, she fastened
to a lady friend with:
"'Oh, Marian, have such nice
conundrum. Joe just told me of it. |

should lose his tail, where would he
go to get another one?"

Origin Of Hooligan.

The question as to the origin of
the term ''hooligan" reminds a cor
respondent of an unwritten chapter
in the history Of the metropolitan
police, which tells how ,hooliganism
was stamped out in the borough. This,
a retired inspector OF police Informed
the writer, was effected by the sim
pie means of drafting into the divi-
sion every big Irish constable that
could be found in London. These
naturally rejoiced in the change from
