ROMANCE OF A PORTRAIT.
Mad Pursuit of Picture Leads to a
Bronze-Haired Beauty.

Romances have been written about
portraits that, once seen, have haunt
ed men for the remainder of their
lives. that have led them to the ends
Of the earth in search of the originals.
sometimes in vain. sometimes to the
point where the searcher has cried
"Eureka"
Mr.. Boyd is publisher Of the Daily
News and the Sunday Times in New
Brunswick and a member of the Lo-
tos Club in New York. At an art
exhibition at the club he saw a nor
trait Of a young woman, bronze haired
and beautiful. 1t infatuated him. He
determined to purchase ito make
II his own. Then he was called from
the city on business. When he re-
turned and went to the club the por-
trait was gone. An Englishman had
bought 1t and taken It to London.
Mr.. Boyd was distraught. Then he
bethought himself of William I
Locke, novelist and friend. then i'm
London, and sought his aid to trace
the painting and purchase It, But
NJ Locke failed to do either.
Then Mr.. Boyd sought the artist.
He, too, had disappeared, gone To
Europe. There remained only the
original of the portrait, the artists
model, perhaps in New York, per-
haps at the other side of the world.
Mr. Boyd began to question his friends

WAR MANNERS In BERLIN.
Theatergoers Munich Sausage and
Cheese in the Parouet.

In an article in the Vpssische zeit-
ung. about life in Berlin. Fraulein
Marie Won Bunsen dilates upon the
charms of restricted street lighting.
and then turns to another develop
ment which she finds less attractive.
Fraulein Won Bunsen says:
who can explain the habit which
has suddenly arisen of eating sand
wiches in the theater? Last winter
one simetimes saw it with horror. but
now the practice is gaining ground
rapidly. In the best seats and in the
best theaters one is surrounded by
well dressed people who pull sand
wiches out Of cracking packets Of
greasy paper and MUNICH them shame
lessly. until the air is filled with the
smell of cheese and sausage. So one
sits in the orchestra stall or in the
boxes Of the most elegant theaters
of the capital-and one is ashamed.
There is really not the slightest
necessity. for 1t. In these war times
anybody may find himself {. ipelled
to go straight to the theateq without
first going home. But nothing is cas-
Ter than to devour ones provisions
outside the theater or in an unnoticed
corner in the passage. Some charita-
BILE people find excuses in the psy-
chology of war and uncomfortable
hunger suggestion others describe
the practice more simply and more
accurately as sheer bad taste"

TRoTTlNe GOSSIP.
ByW H. Gocher.

Last winter the owner of June Red peddled her all over the country and no one would buy her as the majority of those wRio were looking for speed considered her raced out. Finally he decided to send her to Geers and under his management no one can catch her. She is now the big ace" as she has four victories to show for four starts.
 In the first heat of the three year old race at Columbus, Joe Serrill sent The Divorcee after Chestnut Peter, in all probability to learn just how fast the Peter the Great colt could step. He responded with a mile in 2:05A and came back on the next two trips in 2:07% in one of which Selka. got the place and Peter Vonia in the other.
 The two-year- old colt Brook Worthy by Justice Brooks won his third race at Monroe, N. Y. in 2:22A.
 The following item shows that the high cost of living is beginning to lose some of it's terrors for J. Hooker Wilson who raced a stable of trotters and pacers through Pennsylvania a few years ago: MT. and Mrs J.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
NO IMPORTANCE IN STOCK
 TRADING IN FRIDAYS MARKE

New York, Aug. 1S.-Trading in stocks today was uninteresting and unimportant from start to finish. The nominal turnover of 180,000 shares was again confined to a few favorites, investment issues participating in negligible degree.
 One of the significant incidents of the session, as Illustrating the con servative attitude of the exchange was an order removing General Motors from the issues to be Cleared" in the future.
 General Motors has been one of the most sensational and unstable features of the stock market and today's action resulted from an exhaustive investiga- tion of its speculative ramifications. It was said that other stocks lacking wide distribution may meet with like restriction.
 Money once more proved a deterrent, although local bankers were quoted as deprecating reports of undue stringen- cy. Call loans on mixed collateral held at per cent, an advance of 1-2 per cent. being demanded for all indus trials, while time funds were limited to small renewals.
 Rails and industrials were irregular and sluggish until the final hour, when short covering followed an inquiry for shippings U. s. Steel made an ex- treme advance of large fraction, only to react at the end.

Out of the West comes news of something novel, with Bill Rodgers, forme big leaguer, as the inventor. Rodgers is manager and captain of the Sacramento club, and has intro duced what might be called the orang outang system of baseball-a continu- ous parade of frantic noises. His men bark, yelp, and shriek through every inning. They keep up one incessant uproar-a pandemonium of bellowings all worded so as to keep within the letter of the law. No profanity, no insults, nothing vulgar. Just a tor nado of plain horrible noise. "Ow- wow-ow wow ow-ow!" screams the shortstop "Wah-ah -aha!" howls the catcher. "Whee- -ee -yip-vip! shrieks the center fielder. So on all along the line-there is nc way to stop the prog ress of the club.
