AGAIN, ITO WHAT BASE USES
Here Is Story That viii Shock Admir-
ers of Two Recognized Men
of Genius.

The ladies at watering place In
Bohemia recently organized a dress
making exhibition. A certain prin-
cess agreed to open it. = At the last
moment some one noticed that the
most important models. two very gor-
'geous lace blouses, were not displayed
to proper advantage. The caretaker
was called and instructed to beg, bor-
row or steal two dressmaker's dunn
mics and to drape the blouses upon
them before the princess arrived.
After the opening ceremony it was
noticed that the exhibits were excit-
ing a great deal more attention than
the committee had counted on and
the princess insisted on seeing the
two objects which were the center of
attraction. Her surprise was very
great when she caught sight of two
lifesize busts of Schiller and Goethe,
both decked out in lace blouses.
The caretaker, not being able to Sc
cure dummies, had borrowed the fig
ures of the poets from the reading
room, and as they were somewhat
fiat chested had carefully stuffed then
with busters to fill out the blouses.

where between $19 and $40 and ounce
Let's take the latter amount. It's cas-

ounce) $24O "a pound. Do you weigh
$50 pounds? Then. your weight In
