Mrs. Tryphonia Basil was no respeeter per-

The lens Is then moved back and forth upon an
inch measure until the proper focus is attained.
Say, for instance. the extreme end OF the meas

that, but does not focus; it is gradually moved
along inch by inch until, perhaps it is brought
to th1rty-six inches. At this the proper height
OF center or focus is attained, and 1t is then
numbered thirty six. The same operation Is, of
course, necessary wi. h every lens This ac-
counts for the numbers which are upon specta

They are taken FROM this point into what is

bride and groom Of the regular holly
hook order. Although the car was full
Of passengers the pair began to squeeze
hands and hug a. soon - they were
seated. This Of course attracted atten-

nodding and winking. and several per-

laugh outright. By and by the broad
shouldsred and redhanded groom became
aware OF the fact that he was ridiculed,
and unIinked himself to the height Of sir

said:
