Paderewski,s Handshake.

1t is stated that after the signing
of the Austrian peace treaty in Paris.
Paderewski, who represented Poland,
shook hands with the other allied plen-
ipotentiaries, using both hands for the
operation. The celebrated pianist was
not always so free with his magical
hands. Some years ago. while shaking
hands with a friend, his fingers came
into contact with the lighted end of n
cigar. and for a day or two he was
unable TO play. Thereupon he heavily
insured each of his fingers, and to re-
duce the chances of such happening
again he made it a rigid rule not TO
shake hands with anyone.

Japan's "Year of the Monkey"

Every year. in n series of II, is
known in Japan by the name of an
animal. as in the signs of the zodiac !;
and this is the year OF the monkey.
Consequently the many millions of
New Year cards exchanged were for
the most part decorated with simian
representations of various kinds. The
year of the monkey Is not considered
propitious one for marriage as the
word saru (monkey) also is verb
which means "tO leave" and there is
a superstition that all who marry I'm
the monkey year are likely to leave
their partners. who might otherwise
be partners for life. Consequently all
the couples who intended entering the
married state in 1920 had to rush the
ceremony through in December of
1919, keeping country registries and
shrines very busy during thatImonth.
The post office had gigantic task in
delivering the hundreds of millions of
New Year cards dispatched the day
before the first of January.

The materials have been assured, and
representatives of the dealers have
promised that they can be had without
