of a story of the only time when Hen

He was acting Othello, to the Desde-
mona Of the late Miss Bateman and
every Saturday night the perform
ance was followed by very pleasant
little supper party. Desdemona was
strangled on bed at the back of the
stage, and part of Irving's business"
was to leave the bed, and then, going
back to it, draw the curtains slightly
aside and peep in at the body, after
wards turning a face of inexpressible
anguish toward the audience. His
face, his shudder and the deep-drawn
sigh which he gave we're among the
most impressive parts of one OF his
greatest creations. AS rule he stern
ly suppressed any levity on the stage,
but one Saturday night, as he drew
back the curtain, he said, in a sep
ulchral whisper, What have we for
supper, Desdemona?" Alas! Miss
Bateman was unequal to the strain
and a merry laugh from the dead rang
through the house. Never again, l
believe, did Irving break his own rule

TO TEST YOUR APPLICATION
Hugo Munsterbers Gives Simple
Way to Conduct Really Interest
Ing Experiment.

Have your friends the ability to
hold their attention, or does it become
quickly fatigued? A simple expert
ment will show you, writes Hugo
Munsterberg in the Youths Compan-
ion. Give each person a column from
q newspaper, and have each one cross
out with a pencil every letter A and
every letter R. Keep an eye on your
watch, and when half a minute has
passed, say Now" as a signal for
zach experimenter to make mark at
the word that he has just reached.
Keep this up for five minutes, and
then count how many AS and how
many RS each one marked in the first
half-minute, how many in the fifth,
and how many in the tenth, and see
how many each person overlooked in
each half-minute.
Some persons will do well at the be-
ginning, but will soon become inatten-
tive. In the last four half-minutes
they will mark few letters, and over
look many. Others will do better in
the second and third half-minute than
In the first, and their attention will be
sharper at the end than at the begin
ming.

In the train before the river was
reached Mr.. Jones saw the package re-
posing in the rack above his head and
determined that was a good place to
leave it. So when he started to get out
of the car he did not take the pack
age down.
Hey, there, Jones! You're leaving

Jones turned back and got the pack

On the boat he was surrounded by
number of friends and realized that to
drop the bundle overheard in their
presence would require a lot Of expla-
nation and doubtless result In more or
less joking at his expense. So he took
the package to his office with him. He
saw the impossibility of disposing of
it there and determined to get rid OF

But there again he was surrounded
by his friends of the morning trip and
took the package to the train with him.

the back lots, deposited the bundle on
the kitchen porch and finally got to

seated himself on the front porch with
the solution of his great problem the
cook appeared.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jones both went back.
Sure enough the bundle contained a
six-pound roast of beef.
1t only remains to say this story is
a true one The thing happened as

Mr.. Jones is still wondering whether

popular girl was the most tactful one.
AS far as I knew only one girl disliked
her. That girl was spiteful, cross and
therefore not very well liked. Do you
know what she used to call our idol?
A hypocrite. The word bothered me
not a little, and 1 spoke to my chum
about it, but she answered in her
thoughtful little way:
well, I guess that maybe Betty is
hypocrite, If being a hypocrite
means saying little kind things based
on small pretexts and leaving unsaid

Belt Modes.

to say that they are hung about the

This description is quite correct. Many
of the belts actually are hung. They
are fastened at the waist line for few
inches in front and hang down the
back. This method of wearing the
belt gives a strange downward and
backward slope to the figure which is
seen in many of the lately imported
gowns from Paris.
