Bigamous Man
Liverpool, Eng.—"Bigamy is never
io bad in the case ofa woman as in
that of a man,' said Mr. Justice Rigby
Swift at Liverpool Assizes recently.
"When a woman commits bigamy,"
he added, "the only harm done is that
)some matt is disappointed with matri-
monial life. When a man commits
bigarly it may be that' some unhappy
;woman is ruined for life."
The judge bound over a Iran ac-
cused of bigamy. He said that there
(were circumstances in his favor.

Pithy Anecdotes
Of the Famous
Not long before the late Sir klenry
Fielding Dickens—youngest son of
Charles Dickens --retired from his
judgeship at the Old Bailey, he invited
his Philadelphia friend, A. Edward
Newton, worthy Dickensian and jolly
Johnsonian that he is, to sit on the
Bench with him and help him try
some eases. Making the appointment
the day before, Judge Dickens said:•
"You meet me at a few minutes past
ten at the Sheriff's Entrance to the
Old Bailey, I shall be glad of your
help,"
Herbs in Court
"I was punctual to the stroke of
ten," relates Mr. Newton (in "End
Papers: Literary Recreations"), "and
after a brief delay was ushered into
a court room, took my place in a
great armchair, and began to look
about me. The court room was crowd -
'ed. On the desk in front of me, on
the carpet, and wherever they could
be Lodged was a scattering of herbs,
a custom introduced centuries ago to
sweeten the air and reduce the chance
of fail fever (Cardinal Wolsey, in
Shakespeare's 'Henry the Eighth,' al-
ways carries an orange for the same
reason),
Flowers
"Presently Sir Henry entered, his
horsehair wig hardly serving to give
one of the most humane of men a
ferocious aspect. His Worship carried
a small bouquet of fresh flowers; 'this,
with the scattered herbs, gave a sweet
and fragrant atmosphere to the whole
place. But there was another atmos-
phere, even more important than the
one occasioned by the herbs and flow-
ers, which is never absent from an
English courtroom—an atmosphere of
justice and dignity, which is sadly
lacking at our trials."
Follows, an amusing—and a delight-
fully Dickensian—account of Mr. New-
ton's day on the Bench at the Old
Bailey, with plenty of "Your Worship's
running through the dialogue.

Dickens' Humor
Speaking of Sir Henry Dickens, he
was 21 years of age when his famous
father passed on, 64 years ago come
June 9 next. Recalling how his father
taught him shorthand and helped him
to work up his speed by dictating pass-
ages from his works, Sir Henry says
(in "Memories of My Father"):
"How well I remember how he made
me laugh. So much so, indeed, that
I was soon reduced to a state of help-
less imbecility, with the aetural con-
sequence that when in the end, I had
to transcribe my notes, I found myself
confronted with an immature collec-
tion of undecipherable hieroglyphics.
I doubt whether any student of short-
hand was ever exposed to such a try-
ing test as this."
Secretive Soul
The late George W. 2erkins, who
got his partnership in .. P. Morgan
and Company on the recommendation
of Jamas Stillman, the banker, used
to relate an anecdote illustrating Still -
man's incorrigible secrecy, says John
K.. -Winkler (in "T'.le First Billion:
The Stillmaus and the ...,ational City
Bank"—an epic of an epoch). Meet-
ing Stillman one day, after the bank-
er had returned from Europe, Perkins
remarked:
"I see you are back, Mr. Stillman."
Stillman Iooked at Perkins quizzi-
cally without saying a word.
"Oh, you needn't confirm it, M.
Stillman, you needn't confirm it," add-
ed Perkins hastily.
*
To the Point
One time Stillman and H: 0. Frick.
—the latter "as uncommunicative and
as hostile to public attention as was
Stillman",—were in conference when
a-:rtain financial writer begged a
word as to their opinion of the busi-
ness situation. They kept tl.e gentle-
man waiting an hour and then sent
out this card:
"The U.S.A. is a great and growing
country, (Signed)
Jas. Stillman, H. C. Frick.
"This is confidential and not for pub-
lication unless names are omitted."
"This was about as much humor as
Stillman --`Sunny Jim,' a witty Mor-
gan partner dubbed him—was ever
known to display," adds Winkler.

Chicken Fancier
When Madame Vandevelde, wite of
the former Belgian statesman, was
visiting the Pederewskis some years
ago at their beautiful place on Lake
Geneva, she discovered, in a rather
surprising way, that Madame Padere-
wski—who passed on the other day—
had a passion for chickens. At din-
ner, one evening, when all were dress-
ed in their best, Madame Paderewski
received a whispered message. In
great excitement she called for her
overalls and rushed out of the room.
Paderewski explained to his astonish-
ed guests that some new kind of
chicken had been hatched out in the
incubator, and that his wife siinply
had to be present on all such occa-
sions.

"lf I'm Spared"
William Archer, distinguished dra-
matic critic and author of that suc-
cessful play and "movie," "The Green
Goddess," numbered Robert Louis
Stevenson among his intimate friends.
'Pifer. eby hangs this story R.L.S s
mother told Archer of him When he
was a child, It is in the, biograpy of
Arches by his brother, Charles
Archer;

and Austria.
er, "used to be very pious, and was
always saying, "If I'm spared.' One
day Louis was walking in the street
with his father, and was explaining to
him some new phenomenon he had ob-
served in the construction of the
street Lamps. 'I'll show you it when
we come to the next lamppost,' he
said, 'if I am spared',"
w e * *
Started G. B. S.
Another close friend of William
Archer's was George Bernard Shaw.
It was Archer who obtained for Shaw
the post of art critic on Edmund
Yates' celebrated weekly, "World"—
o; which Archer ,eas dramatic critic'
at the time—and thus paved the.way,
more or less, for Shaw's success as a
journalist. The story can best be
told in Archer' own words:
"The post of art critic of the 'World'
fell vacant, and Edmund Yates asked
me to undertake it. I told him I knew
nothing about painting: he said that
did not matter.
* * * e
Truthful
" I did the work laboriously and in-
famously for some weeks, until my
conscience could endure it no longer.
I then got Shaw to do a specimen
article, which I sent to Yates, and
thus easily secured him the post. Then
the post of musical critic fell vacant,
and I secured it for Shaw, by the sim-
ple process of telling Yate,s the truth;
namely, that he was at once the most
competent and the most brilliant
writer on music then living in Eng-
land!"
N d' •
Tactful
There is an amusing postcard from
Shaw to William Archer, written from
Stockholm, just after Shaw had visit-
ed Strindberg. The conversation "con-
sisted mainly of embarrassed sil-
ences," reports G.B.S., "and a pale
smile or two by A. S. (Strindberg),
and floods of energetic eloquence in a
fearful Iingo, half French, half Ger-
man, by G. B. S. during which A. S.
took out his watch and said, in Ger-
man: 'At two o'clock I am going to
be sick'."
The visitor accepted this delicate
intimation, and withdrew, adds Shaw.
Shrinking Problem
*
Under Survey
London.—The greatest trouble with
cotton and linen garments is their lia-
bility to shrink in the wash. A new
process claims to eliminate shrinkage
entirely so far as cotton and linen
fabrics are concerned. Wool and other
textiles are still in the experimental
stage.
The process is one of mechanical
compression. The cause of shrinkage
is that the fibres of fabrics, in the
process of manufacture, are under
great tension. from start to finish. If
the result of this stretching can be re-
duced before garments are made no
further shrinkage need be feared, and
this is what the new process accom-
plishes. Marked lengths of fabric,
measured off before passing through
the compression rollers, ' when re-
measured after the process was com-
plete showed a reduction in length of
as much as 25in. Thus it will now be
possible to put on the markets of the
world cotton and linen g irments and
materials which can be certified un -
shrinkable,

Modern Girl
Gets Her Innings
College Heads Say She Has a
Much Saner Attitude To-
wards- Real Values of
Life Than the Girls of
Previous Genera-
tions
Cleveland.—Leaves from a dean of
women's notebook: The girl of to -day
frankly admits she would like to get
married, whereas the old-fashioned
girl shyly declined to confess the am-
bition.
To -day's young woman looks on
marriage as a partnership: Her count-
erpart of a generation or two ago con-
sidered it (frankly) an economic need.
And the marriageable girl of 1934 is
a good deal more serious-minded than
her sister of even 10 years ago,
That, anyway, is the gist of a series
of comments by three well-known
deans of women who were here 14-
cently for the convention of the United
States Education Association's depart-
ment of super -independent,.
Maybe Depression Helped
Dean Agnes Harris of the University
of Alabama, who is president of the
National Association of Deans of Woe
man; Miss Harriet M. Allyn, academic
dean of Mount Holyoke, and Dean
Margaret S. Morriss of Pembroke Col-
lege were as one in appraising the
girls under their surveillance,
The three did not want to say the
1934 edition of the girl graduate was
better or worse, artistically, morally
or spiritually, than her predecessors
on America's campi, but they were
very emphatic that she was more at-
tractive, had less false modesty and
was more sensible.
Life, they agreed, had done some-
thing to the girl student in the last
few years. Perhaps her parents had
a bit of rough going during the de-
pression, and the girl, sensing her re-
sponsibilities, has accepted her share
of the work. As Miss Harris put it,
she has found "a much saner attitude
toward the real values of life."
"Every big war has been followed
by a period of liberalism, a period of
financial depression, a period of men-
tal and moral conservatism"—Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Catt.

The printer's Error
The typographical error le a slippery
thing and sly,
You can hunt until you are dizzy, but
it somehow will get by,
Till the forms are off the presses, it is
strange how still it keeps,
It shrinks down into a corner, and it
never stirs or peeps,
That typographical error, too email for
human eyes,
Till the ink is on the paper, when it
grows to mountain size.
The boss, he stares with. horror, then
he grabs his hair and groans;
The copy reader drops his head upon
his hands and groans --
The remainder of the issue may be
clean as clean can be,
But that typographical error is the
only thing you see.
We used to gather gapingly on the
street corner when we listened to a
medicine show. Now we can hear it
any time by sitting down comfortably
near the fire and turning on the radio.
Old Lady—"Why is it you are al-
ways begging?"
Tramp—"Well, ma'am, 'twas this
way. I was given a bum start. When
I was a baby, a girl shoved me around
in a carriage for five dollars a week,
and I've been pushed for money every
since."
Truth in itself is a very fine thing,
but far too many persons make a habit
of telling the truth only when it hurts
somebody else,
A certain man was recently talking
about the annual statement of a cer-
tain well-known local company. "The
man who wrote that," he said, "re-
minds me of a window cleaner who
was doing his work when a very loud
crash brought the owner of the office
into the room.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Ladder slipped, boss."
"Have you broken the window?"
"No, not all of it."
There was a time when, if a boy
kissed a girl she stayed kissed but
now he's lucky if she stays married
after he marries her.
Friend—"Everything is going up."
Poet—"Yes; only yesterday- a lady
offered me a nickle for one of my
thoughts."
We may feel sorry for the man who
loaned more money on a piece of pro-
perty than it would or could ever pay
—but that's about as far as we can go.
A lady entered a train and sat in a
car containing a solitary man.
The Man (politely)—"Pardon me,
miss—r-"
The Lady—"If you speak or annoy
me, I'll pull the train cord."
Every time he attempted to speak
he met the same rebuff. At last the
train slowed to a stop, nd the polite
man arose to his feet.
The Man—"I don't care whether you
like it or not, but I want that bag of
strawberries you've been sitting on for
the last twelve miles."
If no couple really got married until
they were actually prepared financial-
ly for the responsibilities of wedlock,
ninety-five per cent. of the couples
who are pairing off to mate would
have to change their plans and remain
single.
Arthur—"Dancing is in my- blood,
you know."
Girl—"Then you must have very
poor blood circulation. It hasn't reach-
ed your feet yet."
Girls (to her sweetie) ---"Do you re-
member when you were first struck by
my looks?".
Boy Friend—"I think it was at the
Masked ball."
Brown—"So you think that liquor
stimulates the imagination?"
Jones—"Yes, it I take a drink my
wife imagines all sorts of things about
me."
First Shoplifter—"Does your sister
still go in for shoplifting now she's
'married to a very rich man?"
Second Shoplifter—"Na, she's rich
enough to be a kleptomaniac."
Just as everything comes off as ex-
pected, down comes the window shade.
