was played, nor was any practice in

sweaters and almost froze at the mild
sport. Just as soon as Hot Springs is
reached series of games will be

TO TELL A WOMAN'S AGE.
A Smooth Plan Whereby One May
Learn it.

Every man seems to be born with
desire TO know the age of ladies
with whom he comes in contact.
Women also appear to have an in
nate curiosity concerning the num-
Der of summers" which have pass
ed over the heads of their female
friends, but there is nothing more
difficult to discover than the exact
age of a woman who wishes to keep
the fact a secret.
Now, here is a little scheme which
a mathematician has just discovered
to find out the age of any person.
Having engaged that person in
pleasant conversation, you proceed
something after the following man
ner, speaking very innocently, OF
course:
There is very simple problem in
arithmetic which very few people
are able to see through, yet it is as
easy as possible. / wonder if you
can do it,"
This sets the woman on her dig
nifty, and she wants to do it at once.
Think of number correspond
ing to the numeral order OF the
month in which you were born. Oh,
no, you needn't tell me-"
To make the explanation clear we
will assume that the figure is two
standing for February, and that the
age is thirty.
Now, multiply that figure by
two" you continue, land add five
Done that? Well, multiply that b!
fifty and add your own age. From
the total subtract three hundred ant
sixty five, and TO the result add one
hundred and fifteen. Now, wha
figure have you got?"
