to make the fine distinctions that are necessary
to fix the close price differences"
Medical science recognizes an insanity that
is confined to the taste centers Of the brain.
The Tribune recently published an account OF
a civil suit begun by workman against his
former employers because q bursting emery
wheel fragment, striking him in the mouth
had destroyed his sense of taste. He affirmed
he could not distinguish any difference in the
taste of oatmeal and chicken.
Before the first shot was fired in the World
War there was British naval captain at Gil
braltar commanding submarine fotilla who
had utterly lost his power or sense of taste.
Sometimes ON brief leaves of absence he would
slip across the bay to ancient Aigeciras for
real Spanish meal and bottle of native wine
IN some white walled cantina. He would al
ways take an enlisted man with him.

IL Looked Illegal,

Except for the furtive manner in which the
three watched one another as they performed
their odd ceremony there was nothing to
suggest that they were breaking the law. As
g matter OF fact, they were not. The amber
aaid was not an alcoholic contraband. 1t was
an excellent infusion Of Formosa oolong,
aud the three were tea tasters.
Tea tasting is more than a profession. 1t
is a fine art and the artists educate their
palates and their olfactory membranes as
opera stars cultivate the powers of their
larynxes and train their ears, as painters de-
ve1op hands and eyes. AS violnist guards his
fingers, SO tea faster with his tongue and
palate. In New York there are less than
dozen finished tea tasters and the Caruso of
this group, Leonard Beebe, eighty-eight years
of age, retired recently after seventy years in
the tea trade. But this is not to be history
Of Mr.. Beebe; it deals more with his sue
cessors at Carter, Macy G. Co., tea importers.
An intruder who had stalked the three
tasters of this concern to their lair the other
day was prompted by gleam of intelligence,
as he entered, to inquire:
tsThis cigarette wont?"

these tete-a-tetes were infrequent and always
too quickly interrupted. He became irritated.
TWO weeks passed without appreciable results.
Monsieur Fragine,' Varlon said to him
evening after dinner, don't forget that you are
to go with me tomorrow to visit the ruins Of
st. Claude. We start at 10 o'clock. We shall
take breakfast there and shall be back at
half-past five"
"Fragine," interposed Lefoulloy, "don't for
get either, that La Revue Litteraire is wait
ing for the second part of your study, La
Morale ct la Sensualite.'
'tIl finish it tonight and be ready at 10 to-
morrow" Fragine declared.
In the smoking room Laurence sought him
out and said:
Monsieur Fragine, in regard to that article
which you are finishing hardly dare to ask
you, but it would make me so proud and SO
happy if you allow me to read it before you
send it away. The first part was so interest
ing! Pardon me; it is presumptuous on my
part. But every page you write is so beauti-
full, so striking"
II should be glad to let you have it," an
swered Fragine, fattered in spite Of long famil-
arity with such compliments, "but my manu-
scripts are scratched up and interlined that
they are almost illegble."
He hesitated and seemed, TO be thinking it
over. She insisted eagerly:
Il can read it easily enough. Let me see it,
beg of you. I shall be SO proud, so happy"
''All right" he said finally, 81 will hand you
the article tomorrow morning in an addressed
but unsealed envelope. Please mail it after
you have read it. But it is for you only.
Promise me that"
He went up to his room and set to work. An
hour later Lefoulloy joined him.
"The opportunity has come" said Fragine,
"and | have seized it. Yes, this request to
read my manuscript permits me-you get the
idea, don't you?"
''Not at ALL"
"Well, want to know whether Laurence

my feeling for her. Perhaps she doesn't dare

M
n Kaplan. with my brains / am
surprised at nyseluf that am still
IN it, but it is hard for feller with brains
like me to get in good business Some time
| think that maybe I would be better off if
didn't have such brains on account they make
lot of people chealous.
II couldn't even get little publicity for my
brains, on account this here Stillmanstein di-
yorcins case is taking up all the space in the
newspapers, and there is hardly room in them
to tell about Mr.. Lord Chorge making the
Ghermans pay their amony to the. Alys,
which give you my word that the Chermans
has got to pay almost as much as Mr.. Still
nlanstein. If that feller Lloyd Chorge eyer
comes to this country | would ask him to do
me for favor and bill couple of my Gus
toners, which they are owing me money ever
since started in business for myseluf.
",The kind Of brains to have is brains like
this feller Texas Richardson, which he is
meneger for the box fighting between
Chack Dempsey and Chorge Carpetstein over
in Chersey Mr.. Rickardstein is telling me
that he would have at least million dollars
worth Of customers for the box fighting, and
it amt costing him dime.
HE told me the ideer himseluf and feiler
which he can think up such ideers I would
admit that he has got It lot of grade A
brains. He wouldn't put up dime in cash.
He chust tells everybody that he is giving the
box fighting, and that if they wanted to get it
a good seat they should send him the certified
checks or the cash money before all the seats
would-be sold out.
"As p Chay Barnumstein said it, sThere is
customer born every minute Texas Rick
ardstein told me confidential that there is at
least six of them born every minute. and
think he is better at thinking these things out
on account he is more up to date than p. Chay
Barnumstein.
II know what am talking about, on account
Mr.. Rickardstein showed me in his safe at
Maddenstein's Square Gardens about two hun
dred thousand dollars in checks which they all
been certified. None of them is tho Kind of
checks which they call them by the name
Kathleen Mayourneen, on account they might
be for years and they might be forever like
note which got it from Moe Koenigstein.
But they are all chenuine..
AL the time the customers is worrying on
account the house might be sold out, and they
arc all the time sending in more money Texas
Rickardstein is getting SO much of it that the
sight of money is almost making him sick.
You could see for yourseluf the kind of brains
he is using. Before Chuly, when it il the box
fighting, he would have enough money to pay
off the box fighters and enough left over to
get fashionable and become pigamist with
couple extra wifes and his pictures IN all the

Decorate the
Christmas Package

EVERY one when sending a Christ
~ mas gift desires it to appear as at
tractive us possible. When we re-
ceive gift nicely wrapped with It's
sue paper and decorated with pretty
Christmas seals, there is an added
pleasure. This is especially SO when
we realize that the sender has spent
time and cleverness to give this little
touch Of personal thoughtfulness.
Many varieties Of Christmas seals
may be purchased, but little original
lty will not come amiss even in these
small details.
There are seals for the outside
package and the heading to be used
on the note paper, conveying the good
wishes Of the giver, or on the little
card of greeting. These two in each
set match. This gives another touch
of the unusual, which is always sought
after.
Have piece of carbon paper, place
1t over the note paper, card or seal,
and on top of this one. of the designs.
Carefully trace with sharp pencil
the entire outline. An exact duplicate
of the design will be found on the
note paper or seal ready for tinting.
This may be easily done with water
colors or wax crayons. Poinsettia
should be colored a warm, bright red,
with yellow centers and dark green
stems
Holly, the special emblem of this
season, has berries of vivid, fiery red
and glossy leaves of dark green.
A dainty basket of forget-me- nots
would be pretty colored yellow, the
flowers faint light blue and the bow
knot of pale pink. Now we have the
mystic sign of the holidays, borrowed
from the Druids, the mistletoe The
berries of this plant are a pearly
white and the leaves a yellOwish green
Spend little extra time giving the
Christmas gift this novel decoration,
and the pleasure it affords will never
cause you to regret having done so.
Economy is to be considered at
Christmas time. Our purse-strings
have been stretched to the breaking
point purchasing gifts for relatives
and friends. TO put this fascinating
bit of handiwork upon the Christmas
package costs comparatively nothing,
aside from the time you spend
doing it. This fact counts very little
when we add to the enjoyment of
others.
These few suggestions, will probably
cause endless ideas for the Christmas
package to present themselves to you
Make your gifts radiate the holiday
spirit; give this little bit of personality
and attractiveness to as small a thing
as the Christmas seal.
