If upon calling your friends are at
dinner, leave your card and go away.
Every body 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.

A TORONTO lady in hurry to go to
church took from her dark closet what
she thought to be her dolman. Sac
hung the garment over her arm, and did
not discover until she had thrown it ovel
the back of the pew in front Of her IL
church that she had brought by mistake
q pair Of her husbands trowsers. She
and her companion laughed SO loud that
they attracted the attention of the en-.
tire congregation, and no one except
themselves understood the cause of the
fresh burst of cachinatory enthusiasm N
when the choir led off with "As Pants

The Imagination is very strong in
women Wien exercised in connection
with astronomy, as is shown by the
familiar story of the Western Curl 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 te
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 theii
testimony in any Gil cumstances as TO any
astronomical phenomenon.-New Yorl
