A sharp reaction in March wiped out about one-third of the gain recorded since November. but since then the main tendency has again been upward al though there have been frequent minor recessions.

'Tll tell you" said. "The
first thing men do to train eie-

you see there. This man has
thrown that tiger-skin in with the
elephants so that the elephants
will get used to it and think
that there is no. danger connected
with it."

The elephants were used to 1t
by now and paid no attention to
the stuffed tiger. In fact, one big
elephant walked up to the tiger
and showed it over with his
powerful trunk.
That stuffed tiger did look fun

four legs stuck straight up in the

Asking for a Telephone Number

the following argument? A says
when a young man is introduced
to a young lady at a gathering
by some mutual friend that it is
Incorrect for the young man to
ask the young lady for her tele-
phone number after escorting her
home. A maintains he should
ask the friend who introduced
Them B says it is not necessary;
that he may ask the young lady
herself. A AND B.
THIS is distinctly stretching a
- point--to have the sponsor Of
an Introduction continue his role
as chaperon. No, agree with
B, that, after the introduction, no
"middleman" is necessary. To
begin with, how could the intro
Queer be sure that the young lady
wished to have him give her
telephone number? It seems to
me that this would be taking a
good deal on himself, and quite
unnecessarily.
