SHE GOT WHAT SHE WANTED
Young Irish Girl ResourcefuI When
Unaccustomed Word Had Tempo
rariIy Slipped Her Memory.

In his amusing book, "Old Irish
Life" Mr.. l.. NJ. Callwell tells a story
of a young peasant wOman-Sally
Sweeny-whO used to walk into Gal
way twice week to do shopping for
his family.
She could neither read nor write, yet
she never made mistake with any of
the messages that were intrusted to
her.
Once, however, her memory did fail
her. One of the ladies of the family
had commissioned her to bring back a
yard of satin, and the unaccustomed
word had slipped out of SalIys recol-
lection.
She did not allow herself to be beat
en-, however and made an effort to re-
call the word; so she went into the
principal shop in Galway still thinking
hard.
What is't that We call the divil?' she
asked, "whin it's not divil that We say
to him?'

Just as Good as Any.

While Reginald Wright Kaufman,
the writer and war correspondent, was
in town last week, he spent much of
his time in the lobby of the Hotel Sew
erin talking with the guests.
Because he has spent much time on
the western battle front the war was
the usual topic. When one member of
an interested group asked Mr.. Kauff-
man when the war would end, he re-
piled:
81 shall not answer you like heard
General Foch answer an American
newspaper reporter one morning. This
was an ambitious young chap who had
not been in Paris long. One morning
he popped this question at the general:
General Foch, in your opinion,
when is this war going to close?

piled, y haven't asked my chauffeur

JAPAN AFTER OUR FAN TRADE
New Creations Open in Regular Shape,
With Pictures Depicting Western
Manners and Customs.

japan has been swift to profit by
the fact that Europe is not producing
and selling to America all the things
for which she has for centuries been
famed. One of the commodities that
she has been especially quick in send
ing us is supply of fans of various
sorts, notes fashion critic. Real
japanese fans and Chinese fans, too,
are charming, and really much more
attractive than some Of the later ones
that she has so cleverly sent us. These
new ones open in regular fan shape,
and are printed or painted with scenes
supposedly depicting Western manners
and customs. No more wistaria and
chrysanthemums, no more Acknowledged
maidens In soft kimonos. No; these
new fans show supposedly American
women. One fan shows two women
sitting by table in chairs. One of
them Is actually clad in skirt and
shirtwaist quite In the most We fern
fashion possible, and If one may judge
by appearances, she Is trying to run
the Western world according to her
own plans, for she Is most domineer-
ing in appearance.
But Of course there are the lovely
japanese fans still to be found, I'M
spoiled by any ideas Of Westernism,
but just the pretty, transplanted things
they always have been.
