But leaning; against a notber - counter tjh -tii' stooa Mr Anna. Connor; the Hrpicide , . lady.

"Ah a greuit many more men are bald," cried ahe, "than women.. I have newer seen but a few baldheaded old , waMt. The har needa ventilation. nd men's hats keep the aUr from It. .Then there la a germ, the men brush ' It heir hair with promiaououa brushes in hotels and barber shops and set the dandruff bugs a.monf It. They wash -,; their hair too often, too." .,' ''I have thought," said the stroller, ,i'that maybe great many women are -.- tald whom we don't suspect of It. . 'Ahey have so many devices, rats, switches, and so on, that you , t-an't tell whether the hair la (Indige nous or not. " ' ' "There lan't one baldheaded woman In 5.000," declared Mrs. Anna Connor. "Ijots of them don't take good care ., of their hair, though, and o it -is rag sed and abort They Just tear It out of ' its roots. Of course other hair comes, tut tt only grows three Inches a year." " The talk then turned on Herpiclde Rnd the man In Buffalo ,who had been bald 30 years, until his scalp shone like ivory, and who yet grew another shock by means of thia .medficlne. Mrs. Anna Connor did not claim that Her piclde waa due credit for the beauty i)f her haUr, but some credit for its re markable length. So the stroller forc ed out inito the sunlight and looked In tne four directions. There were a few gentlemen looking 'over the cartoon in The Chronicle, the one representing familiar Charlote buildings and 18 storks. J "I don't understand the thing," said a drummer. "It'a a plum mystery to W" ? "Nor I," said a head clerk. "These eem to be birds of prey. I'll tell you!'' h cried, brightening as he replied. "It refers to the graft on the water works -blrd of prey don't you understand." I ".Birds of nothing," laughed a portly Jellrw. "They are atorks." "Well, what of storks?" asked the head clerk. "Is there anything -to a stork?" The crowd laughed and broke up. . The Carnegie library waa full of people. Women who met one another stopped to chat. The barbers In their white coata stood, at Idle moments, on the sidewalk and watched the girls .put of sight. A squad of boys stood on the terrace of the Second Presbyterian church, watching a stalwart by of IT skiatilng oh rollers. "He's too big for ithat," sneered a boy who had no kates. "But maybe it's all he knows 4ww to do." Hanging about the Wind man were Jialf a dozen men. ' Lertime tell you, now, since you brought it up," one was saying, "who la really the prettiest woman In this town, or In any other town." He waa ecorned at by the others, each of whom had a favorite that , would put the others, as one said, "in :; i the ehade of the old apple tree." Two puga,' trying to bluff each other, tlmost - got rSin over by a carriage. Oh. every ,? thing that has life in it felt so good! -Even the smoke from the pesnut- archer, tine cries of the newsboys, the jnuslo wafted through open windows . -from the Club Ced Han, every fam liter ''v. jhlng seemsd touched with the magic f the time, Laugnter sourroea tnern r and people walked wltn a jjit, if o music. niere waa but one boring thing left $h tha street yesterday, which," it iieems, Is aa abiding aa aln.
