JOHN BULL BECOMING VAIN?

Ready It Wculd Seem So, If Adver-

The vanity of the Frenchman and
his inclination toward corsets and
other feminine ab's to beauty have
long been the object of ridicule by
newspapers, but who would have
thought that our staid British cousins,
who have alw ays poi? ted the finger of
scorn at such methods of attaining the
grade of an Adonis, would have fallen
under the spell.
That the Johuniee of the tight little
Isle are not above ‘‘painting the lily,”
however, is evidenced by a number of
bona fide advertisements recently
clipped from a popular London maga-
zine. They relate to creams and cos-
metics, the particular form of vanity

Protest of Chinese Over Proposed
“Exhibition” in England Seems to
* Have Been Justified.
The Chinese Review, a highly inter-
two Chinamen, makes the following
comment on the bigotetL attitude ex-
hibited in the West against everything
Chinese:
“In the year of grace 1912 the hon-
orable and high-minded promoters of
the Anglo-Japanese exhibition decided
to add a touch of Chinese color to the
great display at Shepherd’s Bush. A
scheme w-as forthwith proposed, and
w-idely advertised in the press, to in-
stall a typical opium den within the
exhibition grounds, and attempts were

“Ah! Yqu don’t suspect
complicity in this affair?”
“Good heavens, no!” answered
Charles Harrington.
\ “He had regulated your brothers’
wratches before the murder of each?”
“Now, that is odd,” answered
Charles. “He certainly had, but—you
don’t suggest there was a bomb in-
side the watch of Henry or James?”
“Hardly,” * answered Singleton.
“However—suppose you take your
watch to Stephen and let him regu-
late it Arrange to call for it at 5:15
—the store doesn’t close till six, I
suppose?”
The day arranged was five ahead.
At the appointed hour Charles Har-
rington duly met Singleton outside
the jeweler’s shop. He accosted him,
-biM Singleton only stared at him
blsfikiy.
“I am afraid you have the advantage
of me, sir,” he answered.
. Charles remembered and went in.
Singleton, following, saw a pale-faced,
meager-looking man, with a furtive ex-
pression, standing behind the counter.
: ‘‘Well, I’ve got your watch ready,
| Charley,” he said, and, opening a
East end to play the part of opium sots
and exhibit to the West, in realistic
detail, all the disgusting particulars
associated with opium smoking.
“Suppose the tables be turned. Im-
agine the promoters of a Chinese ex-
hibition proposing to represent Great
Britain by setting up the model of a
low’-cJ^jBs drinking shop, and engaging
Britishers to act the role of besotted
drunkards. -In place of the mild pro-
test raised by the Chinese students,
Great Britain woqld probably have
sent a fleet of . warships to demand
reparation for the national itasult.”
In the whole range of China’s past
and present, asks this Chinese editor,
is there nothing worthy of notice and
representation except an opium den?

there were surface indications that

The late Mr. Teeter had not been

a stroke of good fortune for Mrs.
Teeter, hut still the relatives pf the
deceased thought that his memory re-
quired a widowhood of at least a year.
When the indications of the approach-
ing marriage became apparent, some
of her late husband's friends waited
on Mrs. Teeter, and one qf them said:
“We hear that you are about to
marry again, Lucy AnnT’ -
“Well, I don’t know that it is any
of your business,” replied Lucy Ann,
"but if it will give you any satisfac-
tion to know the facts, I don't mind
telling youMhat t shqjl be a married
woman again in eJ>out tyq weeks.”
“But Tom has been dead less than
three months,” protested another,
; “Well, I suppose he*s dead as he
ever will be, isn’t he?”
“But,” said a third, “you ought In
common decency to wait until he la

“Wait until Tom Teeter is cold.!"
repeated the widow, with lire, in hee
