Mere Man on Woman.

Sometimes II is funny to observe q
woman who steps into business Of
nee where she has never been before
She comes in hesitatingly. looks all
around. notes the calendars on the
wall. bites her lip, and then wants TO
know where she is. But, unlike on a
trolley car, she cant step off back
wards.
woman who is travelling likes to
carry suitcase, a steamer trunk and
a handbag. When she gets at the end
OF the journey she doesn't know what
to do with the steamer trunk, and al
most always nearly loses her hand
bag.
Whenever you see a woman who
has the prettiest ankles in the world
she wonders. generally. why she isn't
pretty everywhere else. She probably
Is. but everybody doesn't know It.
No woman feels at her level best
until she gets her collar on and her
sleeves rolled up. but she wouldn't
have the next door neighbor know 1t
on her life. Also, she likes the old
kimono. and the older It is the better.

Proportion OF Games W
Seventh.

In an article on baseball fans in
the August American Magazine, Hugh
S. Fullerton says:
start of the seventh ihningshas become
a part of the ceremony as is the tea in
tions. In some cities the fans stand
a dawn widely. stretching before
rt suming thclr seats. In others every
one takes cut handkerchief and
brusl es h It and clothes until the flap
ping VI hanaKe. chiefs makes an aston:
ishing amount IF cOmmotion. The
custom is based on the superstition
that the seventh is lucky. You may
prove it by figures, if you so DESIRE,
although l believe the cause and effect
is reversed. aThe fact. is that larger
,peroentageof baseball games are won
and lost in the seventh than in any
other inning. l examined $50 scores
last wInter::to study this phenomenon,
and discovered that 184-over fifth
were decided in the seventh inning
an abnormal number. But a further
study of the figures convinced me that
superstition is responsible for the
luck rather than the other way round
For the home team won in Isl out of
the 184 games, proving, to my satisfac-
tiona at least. that the roofing of the
crowd does effect visiting players. 1t
is evident that the custom of roofing
wildly for the break to come in the
seventh inning has the effect of shak-
ing the nerve and confidence of the op-
posing teams and from a study of
those 148 scores it looked as if the effect
was principally upon the pitcher" i
