The innovation would be a relief to the walters. Another sug- gested that Mr. Lehr drive into the dintng-room {n an open-faced cab. Here he would have Chicago lashed to the mast.

HE history of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has been the history of a crime against the well-being of the community. From the days, a dozen years ago, when the Lewis and Fowler gang, with the aid of Frank A. Barnaby, President of the mur- derous Knickerbocker Steamboat Company, which owned the Gen. Slocum, and Henry S. Ives, first looted the splendid property of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, to the present moment, its management has been a scandal and its treatment of the people an outrage. In all, three sets of promoters and speculators have worked their will with the lines, shearing the lambs in Wall street, robbing the people of Brooklyn of their streets, trampling upon their rights and teaching them bad manners, It would seem that having no other claims on the corporation the community might at least get decent treatment and decent service, but it is denied both, find legal means of expelling this aggregation of inefficiency and indifference from the public streets. Certainly the privilege of using the streets’ carries with it the compensation of good If this service is not given, the occupant ought to be evicted. It ought to be made to apply to street railroads, The morals of the manipulators have been the morals of Monte Carlo and the Louisiana lottery, The game has been played in Wall Street with marked cards. The chief gambler did not live to enjoy his rake-off and the earlier rascals are either poor or under indictment for later sins. Retribution is doing its duty but not improving the management. are still being dealt; the people of Brooklyn are still being wronged; investors are still being It ought to be possible to This is the rule in everything else, The marked cards It is time to tear the rotten thing open, either to be disinfected or destroyed!

Woman and sentiment, in- deed! Did you ever see a woman who knew the meaning of true seitiment?” “Certainly,” sald the Amateur Philoso- her, austerely, “Only an hour ago I saw a handsomely gowned young woman stop on Broadway and pick up % | @ poor, shivering little dog and carry it herself into a store to care for it," “Him! And you call that sentiment? That lady wes probably the newest discovered star from the ranks of the chorus, and her press agent had plant ed that shivering dog there for her ex- presa purpose, If you'll watch thé pa- pers you'll soon see a thrilling account of Miss Maszie De Murphy's touching outbursts of sentiment on Broadway.” “I still maintain that you are wrong,” ® | said the Philosopher. “I know a wom- an who orted for three weeka without stopping because her Japanese spaniel ® | died." “Yes, and if her automobile ran a man down when she was out making a record-breaking run for a wayside re- fectory she wouldn't bat an eye,” “This woman didn't have an automo- bile,” said the Philosopher coolly, “She was not that kind of a girl, thank you.” “Well, then, I'll bet beat her husband or made his life a burden some way, Women generally confine their ‘sentiment’ outside of the Immo- diate home circle,’ “This woman wasn't even married,” corrected the Philosopher, “Well, that hasn't much to do with the question of sentiment, anyway,” sald the Peasimist, “My alster-In-law’s unmarried, and I Know Just about how much sentiment she's got. There's a poor fool who is squandering his salary buying her prea- ents, and she files into a spasm of rage if he buys the wrong thing, Ho gave her a lot of junk for Christmas, just ike most men buy, and when she gave him the scathing rebuke he meekly asked her {f she couldn't consider the sentiment of the gift because he'd given {t, ‘I'd rather have a box of allk stook: ings than $12 worth of pure sentiment? she told him. “No, alr; women have ‘no sentiment, If you call this ehrieking hysteria o@ sentimentality the real article I feel gorry for your power of payohologiaal insight. gallanter than if It hud been only, halé 7 “You can make a woman cry her eyes out over some fool situation on the stage, but if it happens at her own door when she's trying the effect ofa nem bow In her hair or having her face massaged you'll see the difference.” “Well, if women haven't true kerio ment, who has?” asked the Phil Thero te fun In your fingers as wel as work, Study the diagram and teadl them a trick or two, y A Beauty’s Beauty Rules beautiful woman in France," as | CONSIDER Cavaller! the most sald Mme, Sarah Bernhardt re- ® | cently. g Cavaller!, who sold flowers on the street before sha jumped into fame when she appeared at a concert hail one night, has the most beautiful throat and neck in the world, It ts column- esque in its shape, It ja big and round and gradually tapers toward the head, It grows wider toward the shoulders, where tt widens with a brilliant arch, making one of the most beautiful curves ever seen upon human form divine, The color of the flesh. {a rich tvory, >] It is the color of the fresh new Ivory not the yellowed old {vory of the ex- cavations, but clear and beautiful, A Woman who has taken care of the throat of Cavalier! has this to say about ‘t: “Each morning after breakfast the , throat of this beautiful woman ls mage waged.
