Speaking THROUGH the Nose.

The offensiveness of the present
defect could not be exaggerated per-
haps, but 1t is best to guard against
exaggeration in dealing with 1t,
writes William Dean Howells in Har-
per's Bazaar. Not long ago we talked
with an observant Englishman, who
was hardly the most willing of wit
nesses, but a just as well as gentle
spirit, and we asked him If he had
been much struck by our far-famed
nasalty since coming among us.
No, he said, not half 80 much as he
had expected; but what he had no
ticed was that we spoke drawlingly,
draggingly, in tones that weakly and
tardily did their Office.
It seemed to use, when we thought
the matter over. that there was
great deal of truth in what he said,
and we now commend his remark, to-
eether with our own less lenient ac-
cusations, to the attention OF the
American Woman's Speech Reform
ers.
What they want to get at is the
average offense, and not to err as TO
its precise nature.
There is no doubt that certain OF
our women twang, and whine, and
whiffle, and whinny, but possibly
close inquiry might develop the TACT
that, after all, it may be lazy ana
careless mismanagement of the voice
in the sort suggested which Is most
to be corrected.

Crescent Shaped Viennese Bread.

The origin of that Viennese preau
shaned like crescent, which is found
IN most places on the continent
dates back to 1858, At that time tne
Austrian capital was being besieged
by the Turks under the terrible Grand
Vizier Kara Mustapha, and as they
failed to take the city by assault they
decided to dig a passage under the
walls, AMI so penetrate into the TOWN.
In the daytime the noise OF the
siege made the sound of the tunnel
ling inaudible and at night time the
defenders of the place were asleep
ALI but the sentries and the bakers,
II was the bakers who, as they baked
the bread for the garrison, heard the
nickaxes of the miners coming nearer
and nearer and gave the alarm In
tbe dghting of the Bakers Association
took their share with the utmost
bravery. and as a reward for their
services the emperor gave them per-
mission to make special cake shaped
like the Turkish crescent.

VALUE OF SPECULATION,
Mental Process That Does Much To.
ward Mitigating Lies Woes.

We are all somewhat in the habit
OF divorcing the idea of speculative
thought from that of usefulness. and
OF considering 1t dreamer's va.
gary without which the world would
progress along its accustomed and
predestined route. It is particularly
the habit of set and elderly persons
TO speak with scorn of schools Of
thought, methods Of careful prepara-
tion for life, and of abstract con-
sideration OF values. They insist
that the world was better off when
people did things and thought less
about them
The difficulty In leaving ourselves
to act without preparatory thought
is, that 1t finds us prepared only for
such events as have taken place be.
fore within our experience or within
the experience of those we have
talked with or read of; whereas we
are likely to be plunged at any mo-
ment into new set of circumstances
or given new lot of conditions and
| motives which alter the most appar-
emily similar cases. Then. indeed,
for lack of the habit of speculative
thought, Of weighing motives and
values, we are apt to drown in our
own absurdities or worse, commit
hideous injustice
Odd as it may seem, the end Of spe.
culation is practice, says Harper's
Weekly The process may seem
wasteful and futile, but the results,
If one examine them, are worth the
energy spent; and the lives we see
about us, lived without the directing
of abstract thought, are warnings ac-
cepting the cheap and easy ways OF
life.
To turn back to the value of specu-
latiye thought its first use is to teach
the body its place in the triunity
which Is human being. It looks at
life with new eyes and weighs values;
It undertakes to find out what Is truly
the hearts desire-wine, laughter,
lust, longing, prayer, hope or peace.
Once we know what object we are
pursuing, once we have turned spe-
culative thought free upon the uni
verse, and made up our winds what
is worth while. then, with our sense
of values fixed. we know where to
direct effort; what makes for the end
is worth while, and what gives mere
momentary ease is negligible.
This search for the real aim this
close examination into the trend of
our thoughts. this speculative atti-
tude toward proportionate values do
much toward mitigating the woes Of
life. for they open the doors to love
and wisdom, the dominators OF des-
tiny. Love and wisdom annihilate
melodrama, avert tragedy, soften
grief. rob Joy of selfish and aggressive
noise; they regulate conduct so that
It ceases to be self-seeking and in
furious; they widen the mental hor-
izon, and infuse tolerance and justice.
And when love and wisdom stand
upon the threshold, letting their light
shine In upon the little turmoil Of life,
how small and silly see mour cover
ing fears, our greed and cruelty and
selfwill as they lurk in the corners,
eager to escape the light

The Tired Business Man
BY WALTER a. SINCLAIR.

Would you like one OF those noiseless
soup spoons for Christmas7' asked Friend
wife solicitously.
Il suppose one would be enough at
time replied the Tired Business Man,
grouchny III it's as bad as that. how
ever. why not be economical and get
straws? Straw ballots usually precede the
soup FOR sad candidates. But why invent
anything as useless as a noiseless soup
spoon until they have a soupless wRistcoat
front. To my mind the invention is soup
erfluous
"Of course, II 1t only refers to the kind
Of soup you set in l0-cent tins, add-hot-
water snd-s-bib and serve, why I perceive
that II IL part Of this canned music cam
paign. But there is no such specification
as to the style OF soup. To the pure all
soup IL PURGE.
THE incidental music which accom-
panies the inhalation of the second course
Is voluntary and not an accidental exhaust.
II is the pRean Of satisfaction which goes up
from the dinnr. the epic of the eplcure. II
Is the psalm IT satisfaction, the score for
the Sons OF the Shirt. 1t isn't an unin-
territorial protest. but the glad opening
chorus of that always popular production,
The Eats
soup Ism 1000 or course. Course
It isn't. It's an institution. It's like the
month OF May--lt follows the oysters. Soup
Is used to open dinners and country post
office safes. II Is the sure foundation
upon which the rest of banquet is soup
erimposed, so to speak. Were 1t not for
the soup, with It's ripping obligsto, one
might suppose the silent diners were giving
the hostess the silence
"As 1t is the delightful orchestration
rises In woTdless appreciation Of the din
ner. The liquid notes trill forth in many
an aria-ln fact, they can be heard by all
the tenants on the area. IL sounds the
motif which runs through the whole din
ner production-the bird motif, the swal-
low in the soup number, the fowl in the
entree course, and the peache Melba or par
fat Hordica in the dessert.
There are some very accomplished SOUP
imbibers who would be retired from prom
inence by the general use of the noiseless

Take away these delightful harmonies
and a dinner is like a reproach to the
hostess, each doing his silent best to dep

the soup from the spoon serves to break
the spell--in other words, it's unspellabIe.
II cools the soup and thanks the hostess
in a breath. II we must do something,

You don't seem to care for noiseless
spoons said Friend Wife.
There are spoons and superspoons," re-
piled the Tired Business Man.

morning. Needless to say this girl had
asked all Of her friends to give her nothing.
To persons one wishes to remember,
write: II hope your Christmas will be

The sentiment may be varied endlessly to
suit each Individual.
The custom of sending flowers at Christ
mas is charming but, unfortunately, ex-
pensive. Yet so great Is the wish for
green and growing things4tAA this season
that florists are sending, IN substitutes
from the woods, and these that grow wild
are comparatively inexpensive A great
spray Of box tied with scarlet ribbon costs
little, and is a pleasant reminder OF the
season. f...
The sending of green wreaths is a custom
which is growing among persons who do
not count the cost of flowers and who do
not care to spend much money upon casual
friends. Therefore wreaths of evergreens,
some Of them elaborate, are selected, the
visiting card going with these greens.
These are sent by hand to the homes OF the

SHE PAID THE BANK
How the Daughter of an
officer Settled Up Her
Little OverdrafI.

One of the officials OF an
Omaha bank has a daughter
who is getting we'll along in
business methods. She keeps
an account at the bank over
whose destiny her father
presides.
Recently the father caused
the daughter to be notified
that she had overdra wn her
account $1L She went to the
bank In response TO the
notice and there made her
own little protest.
First OF all, she couldn't I'M
derstand how she could be in
debt to the bank, because she
hadn't used up ali the checks
in her book yet.
This was explained to her,
and then she couldn't see
what the bank was making
such a fuss about the matter
for. In fact, she said II II
was referred to again, she
would transfer her account to
another bank.
Finally, she agreed that
maybe she did owe the bank
t11, and that she would pay
II.
So she borrowed SIS from
daddy to pay the overdraft,
and re-established her credit.
That's all.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The woman who
studiously follows the dictates Of Dame
Fashion this season finds small cause for
worry about monotony Of style. Never
before, during a single season, have so
many changes occurred in the world OF
fashion; never before have seasons
styles been so universally becoming. And.
Of course, Il Is this wide variation that
makes e possible for any woman-no
matter what her proportions or lines-to
be gowned in proper style, becomingly.
