At ‘Edinburgh two Itallans met at

The fewer foods we eat together at
a single meal the better, from the
health standpoint; of that there can
be no reasonable doubt. The poor
man who can afford but a few simple
dishes is far better off, in realitv,
than the rich man with his extensive
“course dinners”-—as many million
aires have found out when they are re
ducing to living on milk for a while.

“And where,” my fellow citizens,”
appealed the political speaker, “can
we find an instrument so fit, so deli
cate, so adjustable, and at the sanie
time so unagssuming and popular that
it will unlock every department of
state for the benefit of the people?”
“The hairpin!” shrieked" an enthusias

Men think that wemen always talk
about men when they are alone, says
a writer in Harper’s Bazar. Wouild
that that were true! For women are
never so interesting as when they dis
cuss the single aspect which men show
to women, for that is the only subject
that women kncw.
Charming View,
Y. Citiman (to house ‘agent)—l
thought you said there was a charm

Why, there are only houses to be

charming view, sir. In the house op

always at the window.”
