WAYS OF PICKING HUSBANDS
Maidens Have Various Methods, Some
of Which Would Seem to Border
on the Ludicrous.

To ninety-nine girls out OF a hun
dred the most important duty in life is
choosing a husband. Methods Of
choice vary a good deal, of course,
chiefly perhaps as between town and
country-bred maidsns.
To the town or suburban girl q
mans clothes count almost for every
thing The bride is to the best dressed.
The cut of a coat or the color of a
cravat weighs more with Clara than
character.
Her country cousin, on the other
hand, knows better than to pin her
faith to a tailors dummy. She is
guided in her choice by more than oc-
cult signs. By agitating with her
hand the water in a bucket she can
see the image Of her future spouse.
II she desires confirmation she has
only to throw broken eggs over a
friends head and the same image will
appear.
The peasant girls of Russia arrive
at similar result by seating them
selves in front Of a small looking glass
in a semidark room, when vision OF
their future lord and master will be
certain to present itself.
Once year an exceptional oppor-
tunity occurs. At twelve o'clock on
Christmas eve every girl who can
contrives to steal out in order to ask
the first man she meets his name.
Whatever he gives Is that Of the
bridegroom.to-be.

What better proof could there be OF
the growth of appreciation OF the
practical value OF the classroom as a
factor for producing efficiency Than the
fact that Wall-street brokers now are
going to school to learn their business?
Courses in investment securities are
offered by the Wall-street branch OF
New York University, and are attract
ing many middls-sged men who want
TO study investment from practical
standpoint.
Courses IN railroad bonds, in public
utilities, municipal bonds and indus.
trial securities contemplate making
business men more thorough than they
are.
almost 500 business men have
found it to their advantage to take
work in this department Of the uniger-
sity," says member Of the faculty.
Business English, commercial Span
iAh, accounting, foreign exchange,
commercial law, insurance, real estate,
stock exchange methods and other
subjects are TO be taken up. The out
look is that soon there will be stu.
dent body larger than the number OF
students enrolled by many prominent
universities, made up wholly of bust
ness men.
Within the memory Of Americans
now living those who ventured beyond
the three RS" under the instruction
OF pedagogues were regarded as per.
sons spending their time in acquiring
educational frills which would be Of no
great practical value. The man who
was described by the old negro as be-
ing so high jarnt he was plum fool
was tho popular conception Of the de.
gree man.
Schools and colleges, and universities
have grown more practical, Of course.
But it is also true that pracJical men
have grown more appreciative OF the
value Of training, and have arrived at
the realization Of the fact that training
need not be impractical because II IS
offered by educational institutions.

ever located showed real signs of Christ
mas today. A week aGo, the usual sug-
Eestion from the Navy and War De-
partments was made that Uncle Sam s
service men of both branches plan for
special Christmas privileges and pro-
grams. The work of decorating ships
and army stations began today.
Another and more important part OF
the Christmas program which started
today was that of preparing some 10000
pounds of turkey for the hundreds OF
ovens on man-o -warmen and at army
stations.
Sixty-five thousand pounds OF the ma
tional bird were required for the navy
alone. Other items on the army and
navy bills of fare were 5000 gallons OF
oyster soup. 10000 pounds of celery. 5000
gallons of cranberries. scores OF barrels
of sweet potatoes and spuds, 4l,O00 or
more pumpkin and minCe pies. and $500
pounds of plum pudding. The navy men
will top off the Yuletide dinners with
the best cigars to be purchased in their
respective Vlclhities.
At many army posts i'm the Hawaiian
Islands, the Philippines, along the Dor
der. and throughout the United States
and on scores of waTships special pro-
grams have been planned for tomor-
row night. Special arrangements also
have been made for delivery of Christ
