For all practical purposes there might

The few weeks of the session this
year have been less profitable than
heretofore because the time was not
even devoted to a reorganization of
the committees and organization of
the new congress.

Wise or lnnocent7


He met her one night at a-reeeption
and asked her to 90 to the theater
with him. She accepted, and. as they
liked each other. they went again later.
Then it got to be weekly occurrence.
Finally he got to thinking that be was
solid enough with her to go out be-
tween the acts. and so be did. For
several weeks he worked this and met
with no rebuff. But she was thinking
lot. even though she wasn't saying
anything.
One evening she said. why, don't
you go to the smoking room to smoke
instead of going to the lobby?''
Isis there a smoking room in
side?' he asked.
"Of' course You always say that
you are going out to smoke, and
It seems so useless to have to take
your hat and coat every time. And
If you thought Of it beforehand you
could buy those cigarettes that you
seem to like-the ones that smell like
cloves, you know-before you come"
He is wondering If she is as wise as
it seems or as innocent as it appears

An Authors Odd Aversion.

The "stoic'' meal had attractions for
Edward Fitzgerald, who, among his
other peculiarities, hated to see peo-
pie enjoying their food. On one oc-
casion, after a man had finished a
glass of wine in his company and gone
out of the room, Fitzgerald remarked,
with disgust: did you notice how he
took up his glass? am sure he likes
it. Bahv Fitzgerald himself, accord
ing to hts biographer, Mr.. A. G. Ben
son, ''lived practically ON bread and
fruit, mostly apples and pears. even a
turnip, with sometimes cheese or but
ter and milk puddings. But he was
not a bigoted vegetarian. To avoid
an appearance of singularity he would
eat meat at other houses and provided
it in plenty for his guests. But the
only social meal he cared to join in
was tea. pure and simple. with bread
and butter.

in 1895 was the first city to employ
the numbering system. The German
innovators did not put odd numbers
on one side Of their streets and even
numbers on the other. They merely
started from the Brandenburg gate
and numbered straight ahead. taking
no account of change of street. AS
they proceeded. therefore. the num-
beers grew higher, the height to which
they attained being limited only by
the supply of houses. The first house

The Chin and the Throat.

The Chin and the Ihruat.
q Remember always to arch the throat
almost as q horse does, :If woman
talking to some one turns her shout
ders slightly from him and then glances
back the line of the throat is, always
good. For myself have at all times
thought the delicate line from the tip
OF woman's ear to, the tip of her
shoulder one of the most exquisite Of
the feminine body. Many artists ]
believe. would agree with me So re-.
member what say. dear ladies do
not spoil or hide that lovely contour
with high linen collars or boning.
Wear low collars. or if these are not
becoming to you at least dress your
threats comfortably. Always carry the
chin high. If while you are still quite
young you can remember to thrust the
chin upward and forward-not to an
absurd degree, of course-you will not
with advancing years have to fear
those soft rolls of flesh above the col
lar that add SO much to woman's ap-
parent age.-Anna Pavlova in Har-

to his parlor and the guest would have
met an oyster table where his host ate
oysters twice day-wet or hne-from

respects he might be called "eccen-

was strewn with marowbones and
full of hawks perches. hounds. span
