The Unsolved Mystery
I T was breakfast time In our
modest Faker street dig
gings. and Mrs. Muggins had
just placed a steaming hot dish
of ham and eggs on the table.
I aui not so keen of observa
tion as Foams, of oourse. but I
observed that there were two
pieces of ham on the dish, and
beside the ham were three fried
eggs-
’ Foams entered the breakfast
room. He wore a dressing gown
and carried his violin.
"Ah, Potson,” said th* great
detective. “I observe that the ex
cellent Mrs Muggins has brought
our breakfast.”
”1 observed the same thing,"
said I. a trifle peevishly, per
haps, for I was very hungry.
’’Splendid, my dear Potson.

table, but just as I was taking a
chair the great detective leaned
toward the window. "Quick, Pot
son. what do you make of that
fellow?"
I walked to the window and
looked out. The street was ap
parently deserted.
"I see nobody," said I.
"Look closely, Potson. Use
your eyes; exercise the cold
molasses you are pleased to call
your brains.”'
”1 can't see anybody,” I re
peated.
"My dear Potaon,” responded
Foams, "you say you cim't see
anybody, yet a moment ago you
said you rovM see nobody.
Which is it?”
”1—nr—I—er"
"Come on, Potson. Coma and
get your breakfast.”
I sat down and found a piece

Letter Box
From a New South Whaler.
T O THE EDITOR—I recently
arrived in New York from
New South Wales, and
am frank to confess your cus
toms In Broadway restaurants
pusile me Therefore, will you
kindly answer the following
questions in political gastron
omy;
Could s vegetarian eat horse
radish without losing his title?
Is American spaghetti grown
or manufactured?
What is the meaning of “Hors
d'Ouvres” on a bill of fare? How
do you pronounce it and bow do
you eat it?
Is tbe last syllable of “camem-
bert" pronounced—"bear” or
"bert"? Or is the full name
"Camemherbert”?
After a gentleman has dined in
a restaurant with a lady, is it
considered bad form for him to
commit a breach of neutrality if
the bill is bigger than the bill
of fare?
Where do anchovies come from
since war was declared?
Is a lobster an amphibious
crustacean? Elsewise how does
it manage to live so long on Ice—
and In other atmospheres?
Hungrily yours,
RALPH THE ROVER.
CONCERNING BOSSY.
T O THE EDITOR—Dear Ed,
I haven’t seen a copy of
your paper in some time,
and was afraid you was sick. If
you happen to print another
copy any time, please answer
this question for me. There is
several folks here that want to
know, too.
Why does a person always
milk a row on the same side?
We all thank you Yours as

A H HA! This is the merry month, the merry month of June, when
^ Cupid leads on bridal paths and Hymen pipes a tune. Behold the
wond’rous, wond'rous ways a man has with a maid, they march
adown the ribboned aisle and neither is afraid. She says, “I do”; he
says. “I will”—that ancient wedding stunt, and neither dreams the day will
come they’ll say, “I don't! “I won't!" But what's the use of worrying?
'Twill always be the same, and ev’ry June will see them rush into the wed
ding game.
For we may come and we may go, and wedding bonds may sever,
but just the same that wedding game keeps going on forever. So hum away
al Medelssohn as they prance down the aisle, and only the old married
folks know why it is we smile. Yes, June is such a merry month, when all
the birdies mate, and only we old rounders know the rhyme with that is
“Hate!" So here's to every bride and groom, may life be one sweet song.
Down in our hearts we know, alas! the singing won't last long.
“Tar turn te-tum, tar tum-te turn!" The air is gay indeed, and yet
within the crowded church are scores of hearts that bleed, and scores of
eyes with reddened nm hold back the burning tears, and many a mind goes
groping back to thoughts of happier years! But youth is youth and life is
life, and love will have its way; this is no time for idle jests, this is a time
to pray! Behold, they’re marching two by two beneath the Junetime sun|
who knows how long ‘twill be before they're marching one by one?
Our Fashion Notes
Copyright, 1915, by the Star Company. Great Britain Rights Reserved.
S STRAIGHT-FRONT corsets, made of rubber, will be worn at the
beaches this Summer. No means have yet been devtesd, however,
to make the men look straight front when the bathing prooession
starts.
High stocks are being worn in place of collars by women who are fond
of military effects. "War stocks," they call them, and Bethlehem Steel
is the most popular.
A dainty steel parasol is a fine finishing touch for the Summer cos
tume. The bill for it is likely to be the finishing touch for hubby's bank
roll.
A live monkey carried in the arms Is a fad that has been introduce!
by a New York dancer. If the habit becomes general many men will be
more willing than ever to let the women make monkeys of them.
Long silk gloves with double tips are advertised by a Fifth avenue
store. These are expected to be especially popular with waitresses.
On the avenue and on the boardwalk spats are very much in favor.
At home, however, they are still as unpleasant as ever.
The heels of the new shoes are higher than ever before. The prices
are even higher than the heels.
Blouses, skirts and even hats are now made in transparent styles.
In spite of this, however, women are no easier to see through in the past
