THE T1LK or THE DIP

Fashion is the daughter Of vanity ac-
cording to Professor Karl Weule, who in
his recently published work on the negroes
of East Africa tells of some Of the STYLES
among the women of that part Of the
world. He writes: "The most remarkable
Of these, in the eyes OF the European, is
that which finds its expression in the mutt
lated lip Of the woman. According to the
East African wOman's notion, the upper
lip when allowed to remain as nature
formed 1t, Is hideous and the owner beyond
the pale of fashion. When girl is six or
seven years old her lip Is pierced and the
aperture kept from healing by the inser-
ton OF sticks and reeds. Gradually. and
not without suffering, the opening is en-
larged until finally it will hold an orua-
ment varying in size from one to two
inches in diameter. Blocks Of wood arc the
favorite decorations, and the ono whose
face has been mutilated to hold the largest
OF these is the greatest belle"

PLAY BALL.
The umpire stands beneath the sxv
With steadtast purpose in his eye
The pitcher gives himself a twist
And stands, mute contortionist
The stick within the batsman's hand
waves Ike some tierce magician's wand.
And yonder in the distance dim
are figures all alert and grim
No shout disturbs the air SO warm.
II is the calm before the storm.
