since, and by slip OF the scissors spoiled
the cut. He trimmed little more, and
still more, but it would look lopsided SO
he went to the BARRIERS and got shaved for
the first time III twelve years. He was
very busy, and the business detained him
IN his office until a late hour Of the night,
and when he went home he found thai his
family had retired. This was not an un-

astonished him by uttering loud and pro

alarmed for her, and feared she had lost
her reason. He implored her to tell him
what was the matter.
AT the sound of his voice, she screamed

screamed the louder at the words.
He sprang ont Of bed, and had lust struck

Why, what on earth tempted you to get
yourself up in that style?;

husband, as he rubbed the growing humps

Why, when did YOU shave ?''

meeting the shaved face Of man, took
her husband for an intruder. She recog-
niZed his voice at first, but the second time

in he saw thin faced man, with a slightly
bald heac, in long white night robe, and

at him, missed, and then knocked him
down with his fist. Fortunately, his voice

At Senator Sprague's recent reception
Mrs. Sprague is described as having looked
magnifcently. She does not appear day
older than before her marriage. The dress
was a robe pattern of the richest satin.
The front breadth Of the pale blue satin
had two scant flounces at the bottom, each
about a quarter of a yard deep. These
were headed by wreaths Of roses and leaves
embroidered with silk. The court train of
pearly white was fastened to the petticoat
on each side by broad perpendicular bands
Of pale blue satin running from the waist
to the bottom of the skirt. These bands
were embroidered to match the fiounces.
The waist was cut square back and front
and partially filled in around the neck
with white Duchess lace. The sleeves,
tight to the elbow, had two falls Of the
same lace. a Vatican pleat from the
back of the neck was caught down at the
waist and then allowed to flow gracefully
into the court train. The train, waist, and
sleeves were sprinkled with b0quets Of
roses and leaves exquisitely embroidered.
