you had better attend TO it id quickly
too" Mrs Pryor then requested the Young
servant TO call her husband, VIII. was in the

BALDHEADED LOvERs.-NO one who
looks down from gallery in church
upon devOut and God-liEe congrega-
ton, can fail to notice how very prone
the Christian is to the loss of his hair.
Piety and baldheadedness seem to 90
together, that the head of the believer
might be shining light, IL city on the
hill. And yet it one goes TO goddess
theatre the same thing is observable.
Worldliness is as bad AS piety. The
bloated capitalist and the horny handed
son OF toll are equally liable to bare
footedness on the top of the head. And
this, too, in the face of the fact that
proud science has long wrestled with
the problem, and inventions innumer-
able announce themselves as causing a
luxuriant growth of hair. Baldheaded-
ness, however, does not impair a mans
value in the ordinary affairs of life. He
can buy or sell, insure, rnn bank, or
accept an office, with not hair on his
head to a tirst-class eyebrow but when
it comes to making love to ii gir! it is
very much in the way. There is !. great
deal OF capillary, att action in love.
Girls adore a handsome suit of glossy
hair. 1t is lovely. And wien u lover
comes tn WOO her with the top Of his
head shinning like q greaS,i I,unpki,.
he is at II disadvantage. Just as the
words that glow and thoughts that burn
begin to awaken in her bosom a sym
pathetic thrill, she may happen TO notice
two or three flies promenanoing over
his phremN!ogical organs--and All is over
Girls are sb frivolous. She inmetla;t.-
lv becomes more interested in those
flies than in all his lovely lanyuag..
While he is pouring ont his love anG
passion, she is wondering how the flies
manage to hold on to such slippery
surface Baltimore Every Sunday.
