But Miss belmont was very glad to
understand it after the wedding where
Minnie was bridesmaid, and lady,
heavily vailed, sat beside Hester in the
pew. For Mrs. Bradshaw's entertain
ments were the wonder of Keyport and
Cousin Minnie was undoubtedly the
belle there, her mother gladly sparing
her to enjoy Marian's hospitality.
And Marian, in her long ssterly talks
with Hester, who came by Franks invi-

weary of whispering:

Her Jealousy.

rThis was Clementina's climax to the
story she had been telling pretty Marian
Noble about her betrothed lover, and
Marian had hard work to keep her face
composed and her voice steady as she
replied:
" II should be sorry to be jealous of
Frank, Tina, unless 1 had very strong
proof of his want of faith"
3 "Proof!" Tina cried, her voice shrill
with amazement. 81 should think there
was proof enough. I tell you I saw the
flowers and fruit myself, aud he calls

eyes gave Tina stimulus to go on. She

WINNING Fruit.

Michigan horticultural,
When planted In rich soil good thrifty
fruits will nearly always overload them
selves, and In order to secure the best,
smoothest and largest fruit considerable
thinning must BIO done. This Is especially
the case with grapes and tree fruits.
Choice apples, peaches, pears, ounces
In fact the best Of all kinds OF fruits com.
mand the besi prCesand always sell, Oft
times the market becomes glutted with
poor fruit, and the prices real Sed arc re-
ally below what 1t cost to produce them
and sometimes they cannot be sold at any
price, while at the same time the
choicest and bsst are selling at a pro.
fitable price. Too many fall into the
error Of thinking that by thinning
they lessen the quantity go much thai
they prefer to let the fruit remain. This
Is q mistake as well as to think that by
thinning they lessen the profit on the
fruit. When q tree is heavily loaded, the
fruit must necessarily be small and
this will Lessen the quantity; then the
fruit being small will sell for q less price,
and you really lose rather than make by
not thinning. Then in addition, when q
tree or yineis allowed tooverload andma-
ture, the fruit Is strain upon the vitality
OF the tree, 80 much 80 that rest must
be had, and the next year the tree
will fail To bear. Whenever tried judi.
ciously thinning fruit always pays,
but 1t requires considerable courage when
the trees are laden with young fruit 10 90
over and pull of and throw away con.
siderable portion Of the fruit. To one who
has never tried 1t at first 1t would seem
like waste, yet It has been tested sufIi.
GENTLY to prove lie value. The work, OF
course, should be done early, as soon alter
the fruit has set as possible. The longer
