Time was when manufacturers of enclosed bodies who did not produce in time for winter delivery, carried the bodies over until the following year. Now the leacMnp manufacturers of motor cars in the country are running close to sixty pr cent In closed car production ar.d the Interest infj thing- about the situation Is that the demand keeps on increasing regardless of the season. Everyone who has anything to do with the railroads or with shipments knows that It will be offered to them this w inter.

The Idea of our girls marrying titles is accepted as quite commonplace, but it ls moro unusual for one of our plain men to marry into the nobility.

"Just a minute." she eaid, and then proudly produced a photograph. "Here ls my husband's picture. I want the shirt to fit him." Turning the necessities of life into an opportunity for the art of life seemed a desirable motive to Antony Cicero, twelve years old, of East Twenty-ninth street. lie didn't count on taking quite so much discomfort along with it. He fs stl',1 trying to thaw himself out after a half hour on ice. lie. wanted to go to the motion pictures, and furthermore to take his gl-1 with hln, which was generous and laudable so far. Unfortunalely, he found himself, as we all do occasionally, without the necessary money to carry out his impulse. So he broke Into a Second avenue butcher shop with the idea that meat was a good saleable article and that h? could exchange some of It for the price of two tickets. But the refrigerator lock sprang with him inside It. and by the time he was rescued by the police, he had lost all Interest In pictures and meat both, and equally In ever attracting the ill will of those officers of the law who had restored him to a warmer clime.
