The two players who know the Sc
cret remain in the room long enough
for the trick TO be made sure.
One stands In corner. and the other
in the middle of the room calls out.
"Ebenezcr. DO you hear:' Ebenezer
SAYS nothing. but listens attentively to
hear who among the company speaks
first. The other partner repeats the
question. and still no answer. Some
one will be likely to make n remark
soon. and then Ebenezer will rouse up
and answer, "Yes. I hear" Then
leave the room" the other play
err. and Ebenezer goes out. The part
ner then makes great show of choos-
ing which one he shall touch. but OF
course ends by touching the person
who first spoke after the game began.
This done. EbeneZer Is called in to say
who was touched. and every one Is
puzzled 10 know how he can tell.

CecIine Of the Mustachc.

Permission TO wear n mustache was
eagerly sought after in the middle OF
the last century. But now the vi.ile
decoration is discarded. Why? In
those old days the Bank OF England
would not allow its employees to wear
II and issued an order which might
have come more appropriately from
bank of Ireland. 1t was to the effect
that the mustache was not to be worn
In business hours. large drapery
firm in London objected not only to
the mustache. but TO hair parted down
the middle. There is more tolerance
now. Men look younger when clean
shaved. They are also more readable
without the protection given by the
mustache to the upper lip. II hearts
can be worn on sleeves thoughts can
be read on upper lips. BW Is II always
wise to leave the legend unhidden:
Men seldom like to be OWNED. as La
Rochefoucauld remarked once and Tor
