THREW FLOWERS AND GEMS
London Crowd Benefited by Woman's
Enthusiasm Over the Ending
Of the Great War.

During the peace rejoicings one
night in London several guests stand
ing at the upper windows Of a West
End restaurant began to throw roses
down to the crowds packed in the
street below. A woman in evening
dress, after throwing out numbers Of
roses, took a bracelet from her arm
and tossed it to the people, following
this with q ring from her finger.
Then, after throwing more roses, she
took the ornaments from her hair
and threw these also into the strug-
Cling mass of people below.
An elderly man at an adjoining win
dow threw out several spoons and
forks, and then, finding nothing else at
hand, threw an apple which was deft-
" caught and promptly returned,
striking the window close by, but, for
tunately, without breaking the glass.
The women then began to throw
out treasury notes, wadding them into
small balls and flingng them one b"
one TO the excited crowd. After get
ting I'D of seven CT eight notes, she
expressively spread out her hands to
indicate that she had nothing more,
and was loudly cheered.

GAINED AND LOST FORTUNES
English Dandies Played for High
Stakes in the Latter Part Of
Eighteenth Century.

Almack's was one Of the famous old
it's height in the latter part of the
Eighteenth century, and the play there
was enormous. It was not uncommon
for the losses in a single night to
amount to upwards of 100000.
The young men, dandies all, who in
tended to play set about the matter
with a great deal Of ceremony. They
wore straw hats with wide brims,
flower and ribbon trimmed; the brims
intended to keep the light from their
eyes, and that the spectators might
not see their emotions they often wore
masks. They also often took off their
ruffies and silk or satin coats and wore
in their place a rough great-coat or
else wound leather bands about their
arms to protect the delicate lace and
hues of their coats from the soil Of the
table.
At each players side was small
table that held their tea, wine cakes
and rolls Of rouleaus Or chips. Most
Of the players wore long curls, eye
glasses mounted on long sticks, were
perfumed, powdered and painted like
court ladies, and some of them even
affected a mIncfng ladyllke walk. But
those who made the error Of thinking
them ladylike in their fighting ability
made a mistake that often cost life,
for the gay young sparks would draw
swords at the drop Of hat and meet
death with a laugh.

"Heaven's sakes, what did you eat?''
asked the office manager.
"Well,'' said Whitley, first we had

and salt water kisses and red lemon

pushb0ard for boxes of candy, and I
won a box, and we ct that; they was
chocolates, and then we had some
sassaparilla, because just before that
we had some more peanuts, and they
was kinda dry, and finally we finished
It off with banana split. After that
We didn't have no more money, so we
didn't eat no more except when a fell

frequently lasted for days at a time.
Then I had rheumatism so bad in my
joints 1 was almost helpless. My legs
and elbows hurt fearfully and some
times I just ached, all over. There
seemed to be no relief for me, my
friends were all worried and I was
almost disheartened.
But, happily for me, one of my
friends suggested that I try Tanlac.
I never will forget how I began to
improve and now think it is wonder
