A NEW WRINKLE m MANICURE. 1',
The Athletic and Sporting Girl is Respon-
sible for It.
Dainty, rose tinted finger nails areal
an end. Finger nails that have shown
a high polish and a delicate point of
nail are past and gone—that is among
theIultra- fashionables. And it is the
athletic, the sporting girl, who has
brought it all about.
She—this vigorous young woman
who is out in the air at all times and
is setting the pace "for the girls of
this generation—exhibits now a Hand
_with a nail that is cut squarely and
unromantically, and shows but a dull
polish, if, indeed,- it shows a polish at
all. Never a suspicion of cOlorlng
matter is on this nail. It has been
treated only with soap and water, and
its pink is a faint one beside the deep
pink that was so. popular a year ago,‘
or even this past winter.
Thus the finger nail of the mOdern
girl is very prosaic compared to what
it was and looks more like a boy’s,
than it does her very own.
Golf has been the power that has
banished the dainty finger nail and
put this new, boyish appearing nail in
its place. For in mild feminine sports
the pointed nail or high- polish was all

with their interrogatories, like a
carkliug hen that is going to lay an
egg. Horace Walpole, when exiled at
Houghton, bemoans the existence Of
such a pest in the personof an aunt.
Writing to his friend Sir Horace
Mann, he says: “I have an aunt
here, a family piece of goods, an old
economy. She wore-me so down by
day and night with interrogations that
I dreamed all night she was at my
ear with whO’ s,_why’_s, when’ s, and
what’s, till at last in my- very sleep
I cried out ‘For heaven's sake, mad
am, ask me no more questions.’ ”
Dr.‘ Johnson’s dislike of beingques-
tioned is well known, and he gives
the classic refutation of thehabit in
his own‘ inimitable style: ,“Sir, ques-
tioning is not the mode of converse:
tion among gentlemen. It is assum-
ing a superiority, and it is particu-
larly wrong to question a mancon-
cerning himself.”——Chamber’s Journal.
This is a Good One.
That truth is stranger than fiction
is illustrated by the following true
story, relates the Lapeer Press. About
forty years ago a boy was kicked by
a horse. The physician attending the
case found his skull was broken and
a good share of his brains had leaked
out. Thinking to do the best he could
and knowing it would not do to leave
the place vacant, the doctor took some
buckwheat flOur, andmaking a thick
batter, trephined the skull and filled
the cavity. That .boy lived and grew
to be a man, weighs 250 pounds, and
is as smart as most men. ,,leing not
far from Oakwood, he does business,
in Lapeer quite often and isnll right,
only once in a while that buckwheat
batter will rise and then he in - deft
