New York - The most flourish ing pipe shop in town is run by two charming young girls, Anna and Louise Wilke, who occasional ly take time off from selling pipes and mixing tobacco formulas to in- vent a new type of bowl or stem for their sepcial trade.
 The sisters Wilke inherited the pipe business from their late la ther who was responsible for the unpainted briar pipe and had built up a sizeable clientele both near and far before he conceived the idea, since he had no boys, of training his girls to carry on the family enterprise.
 Accordingly, he took first Anna and then Louisa into the shop and taught them all the tricks of the trade. To-day, the girls have 5000 customers all over the country, including many celebrities and number of collectors who leave standing orders to send the newest pipes whenever they come out.
 Smokers Are Vain It is amusing to learn of the kinds of pipes that the Wilkes advise for various men. For stu dious, interpretive types who are as likely as not to forget all about their pipes while they are reading and maybe let them go out or burn something. they suggest the bent stem. College boys who are grad uated from cigarettes to pipes are told to try thin light pipes first. Older men with the power com plex, according to Anna do best with the heavy bull dog.
 And here's funny note - 1t seems that most pipe-buyers like to see how they look with the purchase in their mouths before they uput down their money. Yet, unlike women trying on hats. they are a little ashamed to have any body see them indulging their vanity. So the tactful Wilkes have fixed that-they hand a mir TOT in the telephone booth and any gentleman who wants to look at himself without an audience can go in there.
 Penthouse in the Attic It's an incredible city. Up in the Bronx is a thirty-two dollar a week bank clerk living in a pent- house with a magnificent view of the Harlem River from his terrace. He and his red-headed young wife call the terrace a porch and 1t is badly in need of painting, but the fact remains that it's what Sutton Place means by terrace. The land- lady refers to the penthouse as her "attic apartment, too, but all the same, there 1t is. penthouse for all that, with it's sloping ceilings and its small quaint windows. Be- sides the river, there are green trees to look at and a robin to wake you up every morning and gold and peach colored sunsets most nights. People do hang out washings in the yards around, but as the practical little wife said, After all, u ~ do have to get their clothes clean" And the bank clerk eats all his meals out on the terrace and feels like an Astorbilt.
 Most Viewed Lady
 A woman whom many more peo- pie gaze at than even the most popular actress is one, several thousands of years old who lies. remarkably well-preserved, in a glass case at the Museum of Nat ural History.
 A few years ago in the pit of a Chilean copper mine, worker digging around under a great pile of stone and earth discovered a figure lying in a small drift. It was the size and shape of human being, with the features of hu- man and yet it seemed to be made of copper.
 The hands are feminine and artistic with long. delicate, taper ing fingers and nails perfectly pre- served. The feet are small with uncramped, normal toes that show no evidence that they ever were :. covered with shoes. The face is distinctly Indian.
 Found with the figure was a llama skin bag which was either lunch basket or an ore carrier. a hammer and wedge for beating or breaking ore and several ore baskets made of reed. The equip
 ment convinced the experts that the figure was that of a woman miner who probably was buried by cave-in of stone while prospect ing.
