THE LATEST CRAZE
A new craze, somewhat wild, weird, and wonderful, has just struck London. A stranger going into a first* class restaurant or pale in London would be very surprised to heatsounds closely allied to an aviary from all parts of the room. TWs represents the new fad which has just blown into town. It was first noticed at the Savoy, where a few well-dressed .people were whistling instead of talking to each other. In fact, not a word was spoken during the time they had supper. The craze soon caught on, and now hundreds of the smart set converse at the tables by whistling imitations. It is surprising how soon one can completely understand and assimilate whistling so that it expresses a clear meaning. Roughly, about four n- five nights of an hour are required.. Niter that time one is surprie«d at the facility with which he can exyress his sentiments and at the same time the ease by which they are understood. Only in beginners is the noise in any wav unpleasant, for soon one is able to trill bis notes softly and mcloliouclj.
