Really, some of these ingenious advertisements
in The Call are as interesting as a murder case,
and they appear carry the line .of llustra-

of puzzle contest like the elucidation of that
mysterious sum in the rule of three dealing with
the incunabula of the feminine circumference
THE DATED HAT
A lady who knows what she wants and has
besides some sense of humor told me the other day
that she had labored with dozen milliners in this
town to persuade them, one after another to build
her hat according to certain specifications and
one and all they had said her nay.
mo, madame they explained, 1--WE can not make
for you any such hat It would be quite out OF
fashion and you would send it back
When the seeker protested that she knew exactly
what she wanted and why, the milliners still were
obdurate
THE hat you want they said would be five
years out of date and we could not afford to have
it known that still selling hats of that
period.
This little experience explains much that we see
on the streets and i'll the fashionable restaurants
that would be otherwise tlnaccountabe Obviously
considerable proportion of the hats we see are
worn under duress.

martial law prevails learned jurists set to doing
chores. Now, his honor is not expert in cooking.
He had seen boiling water result and knew
that it was hot, but the rest was one OF the mys-
teres OF the kitchen about which the wise does
not inquire too curiously. But here was oppor-
tunty to test the ancient proverb that "a watched
pot never boils'
At any rate his honor put on the pot. No, he
did not forget to make fire. Every two three
minutes he would lift the lid to see if there
anything doing. He persevered and in twenty
minutes or 50 the pot began to bubble and squeak
"It bos it boils!' p exclaimed his honor delighted.
He had solved a kitchen mystery successfully con-
Quoted an interesting chemical experiment and at
the same time had demonstrated the misleading
character of proverbial philosophy.

What is really wanted is ladys hat that will at
the same time ward off old age and warts.
1t is discouragng, then, when we find that few OF
them look like anything inspiring than
cooking utensil birds nest.
The San Francisco call., 1910-10-02

When one inquired of Mr. Taft what was his
weight he replied NO gentleman weighs more
than 300 pounds" In a somewhat similar field OF
measurement l learn by Inference from rather
clever clothiers advertisement in The Call that no
lady is ever older than AZ. "The sizes" l read,
range from young lady of "A up to ladies' size,
H-we fit the large just easily and perfectly as.
the petite" But here horrid doubt obtrudes.
Can it be that these figures deal not with age, but
size? One hopes that they are not significant OF
the relative bulk of San Francisco ladies, because
if that were true the large lady would be more
than three times the circumference of the petite.
But perhaps after all it might be safer for
man to avoid reading advertisements addressed to
women. The arithmetic of femi11inity scorns rule
