On one °wagon, all unspeeted by the audience, he iufused such genuine passion into hie Hues that his coin - million recognized thatehe lane ceased., to Omelette merely the ardor of t lover, and, responding promptly to cue, Emoted him there and then on the stage. Their marriage followed a few months later, At a recent ball, a nobleman espied in the crowd of dancers, gaily jazzing, the ono girl in the world for him. He hoped that his love was reciprooated,e but parental authority had forbidden her to (lance with him. She had been coinpelled to obey, but herelover could endure the suspense no longer, and as she pirouetted pat him, he contrived to slip into her hand a programme on. which he had scribbled: ' "Will you?" The next dance was the Hesitation Waltz, and as she gilded round the pillar by which he was standing, she returned him the card, on which she had written: "Won't I?" Spiritual Fog. "I wish you wouldn't let a rainy day spoil your happiness, Mary," said Mrs, Benton to her danghter. "You're in for a great deal of trouble in life if you don't get over this habit," "It's easy to preach," said Ma', "bat if the ram had spoiled a picnic, for you, you wouldn't be quite so philosophical about it" "Mary," said her mother gently, "do you remember how ridiculous you thought It was when Baby George cried so yesterday when hia broke that.five-cent 'whistle of his7" "Why, yes," replied Mary, but what has thatato do with my pointment?" "It has a -great deal to do with it, You laughed at him because you were enough bider than he to see that the broicen whistle wasn't 'a vital thing, The trouble was, his whole being was concentrated on the whietlee He had everything to live for, if he could only have seen it; but he could not see it, and so his happiness was wrecked." "But I don't see what you're driy, ing at yet," interrupted Mary. - 'It is this, Mary: George and his whistle are typoial of life. We are continually repeating hie' tragedy. .As we walk along the street how many downcast faces we encounter!What are these aeople brooding over? Ten to one it's an affair of alive -cent whistle. There has been a petty quar- rel, e sntb a failure to, get some little thing, and the whole horizon Is cloud- ed, Some people plunge from one ha eident like that into another until their spiritual climate is ifke that cif Newfoundland, a perpetual fog, The sun is shining, they have sight and hearing, they have the use of their limbs, they -live in a free country, but they have broken their whistle, and e they can't get beyonewthat. Don't you see how ridicalous it is?" "Yes; but llow can a peeson get oyer it?" asked Mary. ; "It's a question of pergpeotive, iny dear," replied •her mother. "If you let a whistle fill your horizon, then of course you'll be wretched when your whistle is broken. Your interests must be so large that a whistle can't wreck them.

Of all the things the war has brought - us The queerest is the words it's taught We find in our vocaburary Words stranger to the dictionary, And some of them are moot Amusing, And to the atudent quite confusing. For instance, who knows what the root is Of that familiar byword "cooties?" And it would take .a lot of study To trace the lingual birth of "buddy," We bee -rowed Prone the Wrench "bar- rage," And soon adopted "camouflage." And then of course we moot corral That very useful word "morale." , It seemed at first a bit surprising To glibly. taik of "mobilizing," And when we heard cie "moratorium" We vaguely thought of "In Meinoriam." In ameient days :we heard of hautboys, But why were men christened "dough- boys?" • And everybod.y wonders how Tb,ey came to speak of food as "chow." Brave Witehener's emir were called a Ancl sailormeu are nicknamed "gob," And 13rftish Tommy in Ms nightie, Dreamed happy dreams of far-off "blighty."

It's very important, Dottie, . of course, or I wouldn't make a point of it." James Herford received Trevanion's stamen.ering expianations with an air of gethenaturedeinenedulieer. He liked the man but nevertheless would not be sorry to see him go. - As for Tretvanion himself, he etrode into the little blue -and -white roam he had usurped and began to -jumble his belonging's .lnIstily together, But the spirit oe Peggy moved with him, steadily wateleing as heeefolded rhirts and -Hee, assisting witli fluttering fine 'gees the placing of each article into the upper tray.

His Nvatch ticked with deadly dis- tinctness. "I wonder what time it is?" he muttered. "Pil see—" For a few moments longer he lay; then resolutely thrusting the blan- kets aside, he struggled into his cloth- ing and made hes .exit through the open window where the windiag stair- -case ended in the small balcony. Every,aense was keenly alert. (To be eontinued.) ' Trevenaion insisted on rising the seeond.day and when at itsclose Peggy had retired aftee a bri-ef "good_ night" leaving their usual moonlight 'stroll a thing of glazing omission, he had been -curiously hurt. Well, he would spend no more time modeling like a lovesick schoolboy on the chance of her reappearing. Bot an oddefeeling of restlessness held him in its grip.' He flung himself fully cheesed upon his naerow cots For hours he tossed and thrned then thaking off the blankets he rose and drawn by an iereeistible impulse quit- ted the tepee and strolled irresolutely in a direction that was on a line with Peggy Herford's tent. He could as- sign no ?ellen for the half aimless •faney which prompted his course any more than he could have told wby he was unable to sleep. Suddenly the sound of carefully suppressed .voices earns to him from somewhere near at hand. He listened. Peggy's voice was unmistakablte and mingled -with it came the deeper notes of tt, man's voice. The conversa- tion was -unintelligible from. where Trevanion stood, but that they were in the girl's tent he was sure. His fancy leaped to the cowboy, Dave Lennox. Jealousy, suepicion, angry, righteous and terrible, gripped him. In that moment he coiled have throt- tled the fellow with his bare hands .but he waited—waited through eons of time—wwited until murmuring voices died away mid the sudden clat- ter of a stone down the slope told of an abrupt departure. e r Pamblingly, like a blind man, he groped forward' until his' fingers en- countered the canvas. He pushed _the swinging flap aside. "Peggy!" he whispeeed into' the darkness. She knew him itstantly. "Basil! Why ere yea here? It is after midnight—did you know?

It probably relateseto the danger of apoplexy for those with &lora thick necks. st Scientifically speaking, it is difficult to say what the signs ot long life are. Lord Bacon, the. great philosopher, said that • he had questioned very old people, and could not deduce aey, certain rules of living, diet, etc., thatewoold lead to long life; but there were three marks or signs that were certain indications that their posses- sor; bar accidents, would live to be old—erauthient veins, crowded teeth —as if thee; were too large for the mouth—and "stubborn" hair, that ee. fuses to be bruehed into shape, Many, oe course, say that modera- tion in diet is a great cause of long life, And yet the celebrated Countess of Desmond—who died al a fall from a tree at the advancedage of 0 hun- dred and forty—and the still -more celebented Old Parr, who lived to an ozone:ft-Wreathe, probably led the same kind 1)2 1115 thee everybody about them dicBtut perhaps Pares case tells in fav- or of moderation; for lie is said to have died of overmuch enjoyment of London hospitality When they brought him up to town to see Oharies I„ at the age ofa hundred and lifty-two.

A flex- ible file, emery koarcls, polisher, or- ange sticks, cuticle knife, cuticle eels - ;sore, and nair soiseors are necessity, together with a little red paste, noel bleach, and white nail powder. Just before retie:jog is the hest time to give to the beautifying of the hands and arms. Immaculate eiean- linese .18, first of all, imperative. They should be washed in warm water —never exteernely hot or cold --to which has been added a pinch of bor- aet or a few drops of tincture of 'ben- zoin, A piece of lemon added to this water is excellent for removing dust aind steins, although for some skins a mild soap or almond mesa will bring better results. After washing, the hands should be carefully dried and than thoroughly ruiebed with a good toilet cream, spread plentifully all over the hand end assn, especially around the base of the nail where the cuticle and the nail join, After applying the -cream, rub the flesh around in small •half-eireles, pressing deeply hub gently, and al- ways rub up toward the elbow. 311 finishing, draw the 'thigers straight down from the elbow to the wrist several times. In massaging the hand, after rubbing the cream thor- oughly .into the pores, gently pull each finger through the half-closed fist of the other hand until you can feel the warm blood pulsing in the fin- gers and the whole hand' looks einIc and rosy, The massage should al- ways run lengthwise and the joilets should never be sharply pulled or twisted unnaturally, . Now get your manicure inetru- ments into play. Begin by shaping the nails with the file. Alwaye pre- serve and extend the curve and shape of the nail ,to that of the fin- ger, and trim all 'tough edges smooth. (Extremely, pointed finger nails are not conaidered beautiful—they are like claws.)

Another tinny spectate found only at great depths, carries on the end of its nese waat lathe like an electric light bulb, and which serves an equivalent purpose: Lights of the Peep.
