shutter refused to work. I fussed over it a while, then gave it up. Some carpenters were at work near by and got interested in my trouble. One of them, an ingenious young chap, worked over the shutter for an hour. Nothing doing. I took it to the wife and said, "Guess I'll have to send it to New York. Goodness knows when we'll get it back-and my work only half done." I went to the hotel desk and wrote a letter to the camera people about it. Came back to get the camera. The lady said, "Do you know, this shutter works all right now! I fixed it with a hair-pin." Perhaps to some men the most appealing feature of the Pentagon is its practical shape.

Your magazine is a constant refreshment to my spirit, which seems so often to be growing worn and discouraged in this battle of earning a living and of trying to make the living worth the earning on a Michigan farm in these last years. It reassures me of the happy truth that the world is as full of people fine, brave, and big as it seems to be of the gossipy, the ignorant, and the greedy. And for that, words are inarticulate to tell you how deeply I thank you. Most cordially yours, LILLIAN S. NAVARRE. Monroe, Michigan.

He was at a newsboys' dinner and saw a young woman serving a hungry youngster. She leaned over him and whispered, "Jimmie, how would you like another piece of pie?" "Great!" he answered. She brought it, and as she placed it by his plate he lifted up one of her hands and kissed it. Afterwards he saw the same young woman walking on the Bowery with a "masher" following her. A boy-perhaps the hero of the dinner told the gallant to "beat it." "The boy explained to me when I questioned him," says the author, that "De bum had a right not to be folleyin' a loidy, a silk-haired dame, what done good for de boys and goils 'round here." Out of these incidents grew the famous stories. Do You Need A HOUSEHOLD HELPER COMPANION NURSE GOVERNESS TEACHER BUSINESS ASSISTANT?

BY THE WAY (Continued) ciation "I think you have acute appendicitis." Flapper-"Oh, thank you, doctor." Under the head "And Cooing?" a house organ reprints this advertisement from the New York "Times:" Neat, attractive girl wanted to do billing. Address Box 362, etc. al V "Your column of August 30 quotes i from a newspaper of 1783 a note about Byrne, the famous Irish giant, saying that his friends planned to take his body to Ireland for burial." So a subscriber writes, and proceeds to tell the story's sequel: "Dr. John Hunter, the famous surgeon of those times, succeeded in obtaining the body, as he wanted the skele d ton for the Museum of the College of Surgeons in London. Byrne, it seems, dreaded dissection by Hunter, and shortly before his death arranged with several of his countrymen to have his body buried at sea. The undertaker, who had been offered £500 for the giant's body by the great anatomist, managed that while the escort were drinking at a certain place on the journey seawards, the coffin should be locked up in a barn. There some men he had concealed speedily substituted an equivalent weight ca of paving-stones for the body, which was at night forwarded to Hunter." The giant's skeleton, 7 feet 7 inches high, may still be seen in London, it is said. From giants to dwarfs is an easy transition. The same day the above note was received the following paragraph appeared in a New York news. paper: Peppino Magro, aged twenty-nine, who is twenty-two inches high and weighs only forty-five pounds, appeared yesterday at the Federal naturalization bureau, Brooklyn, to make application for his final papers to become а citizen. They were granted and he will come into full citizenship in ninety days. He gave his occupation as a freak. he was married he said: "No, but sometimes I think I would like to be." Asked if General Tom Thumb, it will be remembered, who became probably the most famous freak of history under the management of P. T. Barnum, was twenty-four inches high when he was first caught by the famous showman, but grew to nearly forty inches.

The purpose of the Navy Club of New York is to take care of the Navy ashore by furnishing them with a suitable shore home or headquarters in New 1ork, where they can have when on liberty, sleeping accommodations, a club room where they can read and write, check room and post office, and a canteen where they can get food at cost price. The medal is a symbol of your interest in the welfare of the boys in the Navy, As this is the port most frequented by ships of the Atlantic Squadron, and as we take care of the boys from every State in the Union, this appeal is of mure than local interest. As a symbol of your desire to co-operate, we are asking you how many medals you will take for the members of your club, or employees, to be worn on Navy Day, and how many you will underwrite. Price 25c for the size shown above and 10c for a smaller size. The medal is done in bronze by Sally James Farnham, the sculptress who patriotically gave her services for the production of the original of this model, and as a work of art, it is a valuable souvenir of the cause. Telegraph at our expense, the number of large and small medals you will underwrite and where they are to be delivered. We hope that at least two hundred thousand of these medals will be worn on |
