Write to Y Man Just nc You Would

Business letter writing is no longer

contents duly noted" Is now relegated
to the "old school, class, and unless
be is willing to adopt the new rules Of

Write to a man exactly as you

the best authorities on letter writing
in Chicago. BY eliminating useless
phrases having no bearing on the sub

his own time In debating, but that OF
his stenographer In transcribing the
notes. By the old method Of letter
writing the opening and closing OF

st. Valentine now claims attention,
and n must be original In the art of
gift making to attract this little god
of love who at some time or other
shoots his arrows at every boy and
girl. Can you sketch? If so, then make

each item, using india ink. The saucy

placed at the top Of the card. Next
sketch a salad and mark the ingredi-

you begin the work you will discover

To paint q pretty card show Cupid
pushing a w~heelbarrow full Of love up
a steep hill. AT the top of the hill
have a girl and tiny signpost showing
the town or city In which she lives.
Write beneath the picture the words,

Another suitable picture for a postal

sack oil his back just departing from
the mail box ON the corner. Write
the recipients name on the mail bag.
If a fancy bag is desired cut a heart

A dainty picture to send to some
dear old lady is that of an old couple

sentiment "Loye never grows old" is
appropriate for a picture Of this kind.

Tho Medieval Kitchen.

1t was the middle ages before the
kitchen had been raised to the dignity
Of an established apartment. Strange
doings went On In those medieval
kitchens. Butchers slaughtered ami
mails there, which were skinned and
dressed as well as cooked in the kitch-
en-. The family blacksmith kept his
fire there and repaired the pIows and
wheels of the estate. Coal began to
be used as a kitchen fuel In 1245,
though not generally for 200 years
after. The oven did not come into
use until the year 1400, and then it
was the old fashioned brick oven,
which persisted for hundreds OF years.
The stove when invented took the
place of the separate owe and the
fireplace, with its hanging pots.

RUNS UP
STEEP STAIRS

Frank Van Sickle, OF Van Sickle's
garage, performed a sensational feat
yesterday afternoon when he drove
an Overland roadster automobile up
the stairs leading to the Auditorium.
The machine was driven up on it's
W power and then run on the
stage, where it was on exhibition at
the Chauffeurs' Association ball last
night.
Owing to incline the gasoline
would not run into the carbureter of
the machine and a second attempt
had to be made. The carbureter was
flooded and the machine crawled
the steps with ease and without the
aid of planks, boards or ropes. The
run was made at 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon.

The Chinese are past masters In the
art of trickery, and some Of their
tricks are very ingenious. One Is a
method by which they can make q
postage stamp do service almost in
definitely. The sender of the letter
passes over the stamp some paste
which In appearance Is not unlike the
gum at the back Of a stamp. When
the stamp is obliterated 1t takes the
impression, but II is not ever Skin
Deep" The receiver Of the letter must
be O confederate, and he passes q
damp sponge over the stamp. This
removes the paste and with 1t the
postal mark, so until the stamp is
worn out it can be used over and over
again.

Manner in Which These Men
Appear in Competition Dis
grace to the Game.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

Within recent years many improve
ments have been apparent in the har-
ness horse sport, and while today in
many communities it appeals to the
most representative classes, it is high
time that associations generally made
a strenuous effort to have every race
driver wear a suitable uniform, some
of neatness n good taste.
Amateur organizations as a rule are
equipped in this way, but professionals
as a rule appear either in somber hues
or look more like barber-pole than
human beings. The average associa
ton permits the drivers who take part
in the races to select their own colors
and furnish their own material. or is
satisfied to allow the .'programmer" to
supply the jackets and caps.
AS a consequence many hues and
various colors rave been presented 70
the spectators. who, II they are not
color blind and have a particle of good
taste, must shudder at the horrible
combinations that are seen.
There are q few drivers that pay
some heed to the conventionalities and
nave some regard for appearances, yet
a vast majority ignore the feelings of
the spectators and wear anything that
is offered them, or II they are permit
ted TO choose their own colers shrink
from anything that is other than the
plainest material.
There is absolutely no good reason
why a driver should hesitate to wear
satin even of the brightest colors, pro-
vided they are in good taste. ANA
tours, both drivers and riders, are fire.
~quently seen in silken Jackets, and
even the brightest hues are not re-
garded as Objectionable. There Ia no
reason for having varied combinations
of colors If these violate good taste,
yet 1t is essential that the colors should
be bright enough to be easily dis
tinguished at a distance and that a
certain amoun of lightness should be
added to what is ordinarily a heavy
somber scene.
In order to make racing the light
harness horse still more popular with
the most desirable element, 1t will be
necessary to furnish a certain amount
of display both in the appearance of
the horses themselves and In that of
the men who drive them.
No n expects the latter to have the
appearance of men attending an after

Lawson's pace-makers shook them each
time and Lawson won easily.

unable to get around, so at a three

third heat, but Lawson's paeemakers
surprised the crowd by going around
as ifktheir opponents were tied. At q
lap and a third to go Hehir took Law

by three lengths.
The hve-mile open was a hard one.
Al. the finish Drobach nae Hehir well
o ,,the front and took him by with a
squirt. Walter rode high on the bank,
with Lawson on, and at a lap to 60
Lawson was whipped off in his attempt
to go around Walter. so that the finish
resolved itself into a pretty sprint for
