PARIS WIT: A young artist benedict,
who was dealer in silks, used to go to
Paris every year to make purchases.
He was one OF the boys, and generally
took in everything that was~g going on
while in that city OF delight, but by way
OF penance always bought his wife a
present. On one occasion the gift was a
costly cashmere shawl. She received it
with a regular avalanche Of thanks, and
then suddenly stopping and looking
archly up at him, exclaimed: "How
bad you must have been in Paris this
time, Charley
DIR. R. w. LovErr lives in Screven
County and Judge Thomas NJ. Merri-
weather lives in Newton. They were
schoolmates. They first married twin
sisters, daughters OF Bishop Andrew.
Their wives died, and they then married
two other sisters, also daughters of a
bishop, Bishop Price. These wives
died, and then they married third pair
of sisters, not daughters of bishop, but
two sisters-being tn e daughters of Mr..
Smith, of Green County. With these
last sisters they are living happily.-At.

If upon calling your friends are at
dinner, leave your card and 60 away.
Everybody understands that, you say.
All, no, they do not. Often a caller
will argue to herself that her intimacy
with the family excuses her going into
the parlor and waiting for the person
she wishes to see. This proceeding de-
stroys her friends dinner. Occasional
~. too, she will push her way into the
dining-room, will not go to the table,
but will sit aside and chat with the folks
while they are eating. Extreme bad
taste, which 40 intimacy can make right.

A TORONTO lady in q hurry to go to
church took from her dark closet what
she thought to be her dolman. She
hung the garment over her arm, and did
not discover until che had thrown it over
the back of the pew In, front of her in
church that she had brought by mistake
pair of her husbands trousers. She
and her companion laughed so loud that
they attracted the attention of tho en-
tire congregation, and no one except
themselves understood the cause of the
fresh burst of cachinatory enthusiasm
when the choir led off with Gas Pants
the Heart" etc.
The imagination is very strong in
women when exercised in connection
with astronomy, as is shown by the
familiar story of the Western GIRL and
the Shooting Stars, related in "Loomis' s
Astronomy" page 437. The western girl
In question, was sitting on the back
piazza and had made an agreement with
her lover by which he was entitled to
one kiss for every shooting star that he
might see, mistook the torches of poll
tical procession, that took three hours to
pass any given point, for shooting stars,
and insisted that they should be obeyed
and respected accordingly. When
women can make mistakes like this. we
may well hesitate before receiving their
testimony in any circumstances as to any
astronomical phenomenon.-New York
Times.
