 Many are wise to the polite pill lage and order the dish removed, but the majority submit without a chirp. Even in some cafes where there are no Paul Whitemans or Moss and Fontanas they continue to charge 75 cents for pint of table water which cost the brigands ex- actly six cents.
 Gyp cafe men know the boobi- oese. Their establishments are pat ronized largely by young show-offs out to make a sharp impression on a beautiful lady. No matter the size Of the gouge, they do not want to appear cheap skates. There are many elders suffering from a simi- lar and absurd introversion.
 French menus, so confusing to many. are a source of amazing profits to cafes. A well selected meal in tony spot costs about ss for two If ordered from the menu. But it is so baffling that many ask the captain to make the selections. And bang goes all his restraint.
 There are, of course, scrupulously honest cafes, but any number bal Icon 'the intake by indirect addi- ton. Less than 20 per cent of the patronage adds up checks. They in- dulge a quick glance and pay. The rewards of such flim- -flamming are stupendous. It is proverbial only the rich total a chit.

hair, which will get 1t quite clean, but
you will not be able to rinse the soap
out of the hair. And I know of no
water softeners such as bath salts which
are satisfactory for shampoo.
Assuming, then, that you have soft
water or else a Understanding ma
chine, the procedure is as follows: Rub
your hair with oil or any sort of good
hair tonic q couple of hours before you
intend to shampoo. Half an hour to
one hour before the time rub an egg
over the scalp, the yolk and white
mixed together. This takes up and
binds together with itself oil dirt, scurf
and anything undesirable that the scalp
may have picked up.
II possible, have a double-ended hose
to attach to the hot and cold water Of
your tub and rinse the egg of with
warm water. Then use a LIQUID soap
preparation, preferably CASTLE, pre-
viouSly melted down with hot water
Use this twice, making q lot of lather,
rinse on with hot water, gradually cool
ing this down Roll the head up in q
bath towel, squeezing out as much
water as you can. Comb the hair as
you normally wear 1t and pinch q little
bit OF wave around the face, put a net
over your hair and tuck yourself up in
front Of o IRE to manicure your nails
while your hair dries. II will dry very
quickly after using an egg and will be
beautifully soft and glossy.

line was an experiment In longer dra-
perry. Obviously women would not ac-
cept skirt that was manifeStly longer
That had been tried several times with
out success. But women did adopt the
uneven skirt and through it were
weaned away from the very short skirt
Having achieved this much the next
step on the dressmakers' program is
to persuade us to wear skirts that are
longer all around
In the meantime there are still skirts
Of the uneven sort. You may see them
here and there among the clothes for
resorts and early Spring wear.
French women have never been as will
ing to adopt the fashion for street wear
as we have and an interesting arrange
ment OF the dropping skirt drapery is
to be found on some of the new Spring
dresses. The dress sketched has long
points Of material hanging at the back
and front, but at the end of each point
there is q tiny loop which may be
fastened to q button attached to the
wrong side of the skirt at back and
front. In this way the drapery may
be looped Up when the dress Is worn
under q coat or for street when the
long points would be both inconvenient
and inappropriate.

The other agreed. They went at
once. All conditions had been made
and they were preparing to fire when
knock sounded on the door. The host,
seeing light In Rossi's room at so
late an hour, had come to see If he were
Ill. He was not inclined to accept the
actors word that he was perfectly we'll
Rossi whispered in the ear Of his
opponent. There is but one way out
Of the dimculty. We must blow out the
candles. Then the host will think that
I have retired for the night. When he
has gone we can take aim by the glow
of our cigarettes. which we will light
before we extinguish the candles"
A brave fellow, this actor. And his
enemy, too, for he agreed at once.
The candles were blown out. The
host departed. Only the tiny glow Of
two cigarettes broke the midnight dark
ness. At q given moment the dueltsts
fired their pistols.
Rossi escaped injury He shot his
adversary In the shoulder. However,
the whole house was at once aroused
and the tragedian was arrested.
In the morning a complaisant Judge
held early court. He had been at the

ulated RosSi for chastising the dis
turber and discharged him In time for
him to start for Milan on the necessary

Father Saves
Child's Health

CHICAGO, ILL.-A long walk through
snowdrifts to a country school, after
ice-cold milk for breakfast, proved
too much for one little country girl.
She Suffered nausea, headache, and
anemia. Then one day Father brought
home "treat" and the complexion
Of school trips changed. What this
treat was, Mrs. Cornelia L. Porter,
1879 Greenleaf Avenue, tells below:
."When I was q small child we lived
where the winters were terribly cold.
Breakfast in the country was = hearty
meal but, even yet, chill runs down

milk that invariably stood by my
plate. How I loathed iti I always

forth on my long walk to school, it
seemed that the cold milk entered
my veins, turning my blood to ice.
During the morning I expert need

One of the most unusual duels was
fought by Rossi, the formerly celebrated
Italian tragedian, and q man with
whom he was unacquainted.
This unique affair had its inception

Italians Of both sexes was in attend.
ance. Previously they had dined to-
gether and had drunk too much. They
interrupted the performance with Their
loud talk.
Rossi advanced to the footlights.
I'll keep quiet until you do" he told
the diSturbers, folding his arms.
The audience applauded him wildly
and demanded the expulsion of the
others. The result was that when Rossi
finished his performance he found a
card waiting for him with the stage
doorkeeper. It was from one of the
elected party. He demanded satisfac-
ton.
"The deuce!" exclaimed the TRACE
dian.
He was not worried by the thought
Of duelling but he had to play the next
night In Milan and must leave Casala
at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Action must be prompt. He sought
out the challenger at once, having no
means of knowing him except by the
address on his card.
"It already is rumored abroad that
we are to fight duel" he said. IF
we wait until morning the gendarmerie
will be sure to prevent US from meet

what shall we do?" asked the other.
