A TELL-TALE TABLE.

There is a good deal of amusement in the following table. It will

enable you to tell how old the young ladies are. Ask a young lady to

tell you in which column or columns her age is found, add together

the figures at the top of the columns in which she says her age is,

and you have the secret. Suppose a young lady is 19. You will find

that number in the first, second and fifth columns; add the first

figures of these columns--1, 2 and 16--and you get the age.
