Have you ever watched a window
trimmer in one Of the Riverside or
Main avenue stores? For one thing
window trimming is a magnificent
tax upon ones INCENTIVE powers,
new displays continually, year in
and year out, month after month,
with holidays and special occasions
thrown in lavishly for good meas
ure. s.,
This art of window trimming
calls for even more qualities than
you probably imagine. Primarily,
TO course, it calls for that divine
gift, an artistic sense of the fitness
Of things, an appreciation of the
value and balance of color, and of
the proper balance as regards dis
tribution of bulk. Balance as re-
CARDS both color and bulk is Of
prime Importance. A yellow and a
pink do not look we'll side by side,
neither does purple and green
under ordinary circumstances. A
fine distinction for effective, but
not claring contrast is all essential.

Policemen and Whiskera.

While Chicago policeman was es-
corting a woman to a patrol wagon
the other day she suddenly turned
upon him and fastened her fingers in
his whiskers. When other policemen
succeeded in rescuing him from the
perilous position into which she had
forced him against the side of the
patrol wagon the woman held two
handfuls of whiskers and the officer
bore a striking resemblance to a
partially picked chicken. 1t is not
surprising that. instead of accompany
ing the prisoner to the station, the
policeman hurried to a barber shop.
and unless he wears them for the pur-
pose of hiding weak chin or protect
ing sensitive throat we may suppose
that he will give up his whiskers, at
least until such time as he may retire
on a pension. Whiskers may be all
right If their wearer is able to choose
his environment. but policemen should
try to get along without them.-Chi.
