l went the other evening with Adolphus
to have some soda. l took vanilla and
cream, but when the clerk looked inquir-
ingly at Adolphus he softly murmured ''Oh,
| don't care ~ and the clerk fixed some
thing in glass that brought the sweetest
expression of calm content into AdolphuS'
face. and l thought Dear me, what an
amiable young man that clerk must
be.' because clerks don't usually
like you to be so lndeh-
mite in your orders. So the next day after
l had finished my shopping | thought l
would refresh myself with glass OF soda
before taking the carl was brought up in
the country and have a weakness for soda
and l sought the fountain presided over by
that nice youth. He was just as lovely as
before and | smiled at him and when he
asked me what he should give me, [ said
blandly: "Oh. l don't care" And some
how or other there was such a painful pause
before he said, "Will lemon do?" and he
looked at me so funnily that was glad to
bolt the lemon, though particularly hate
the flavor, and leave the store, and [ can't
see yet what that clerk could have told the
boy about 1.-The girl in the blue dress" that
made them both laugh so Il overheard him
as | was going OUT and Adolphus don't
know either, for | asked him.

Eyes" says Monsieur Blanc, zone can
exist without love; but without beefsteak
OF its equivalent. never; and it is one OF the
most encouraging signs of the times that
the girls are beginning to look before they
leap and to carefully consider ways and
means and how much can be bought with a
limited sum of money, before
they rush into matrimony." Mon
sieur Blanc is Frenchman accus-
toned to marriages de CONVEYANCE and also
bachelor, SO perhaps his opinions are not
entitled to much weight but was awfully
pleased to hear such commentator of

But it does weary me to hear these young
married men complain of the difficulty of
living on $40 per week. Pray how did
they expect to live? [ should think lit
tie calculation on the subject might have
shown them that on an income of $500 per
year one can't spend ST. and start a
bank account.
But l must confess that am completely
out of patience with Blanche Bell. Her
husband was offered most lucrative posi-
ton in Oregon. He went out and liked it
immensely, but Blanche positively refused
to leave her pa and ma, and he had to come
back and is now working on starva-
ton salary. What if she is an only child?
[ admire fiIial devotion, but she should
have taken all these little points into con-
sideration before she married. [ think if
had been Tom would have shaken her.

or these dresses; it is of soft wool, with
not superhuous button or bit of braid,
but perfect as to fit and draped in folds
that are the expression of grace. With
this gown are worn silk gloves OF the same
shade, the round hat of straw trimmed
with Grape repeating the tint. A scarlet
umbrella alone saves the costume from
mOnotony of hue and the effect is wonder
fully good.
We girls who know what is what,
though, have our street suits as nearly as
possible the exact shade of our hair

Flora McFlimsey has substituted for the
poor box that she wore during Lent an

Something one would rather have left
unsaid: 1t was at the opera house. She
was trying to find place for her wrap and
he explained to her the working of the
patent spring on the back of the seat, and
she said, ..Oh, thanks! Two heads are
better than one, even if one of them does
lack brains"

The muslin caps now worn by babies and
by girls of even five and six. have high.
mob Crowns and frilled borders. A tiny
maid in one of these bOnnets and gown
with tight round waist and skirt almost
touching the ground, makes quaint and
pleasing picture.

Men. unlike the feebler SEX never in
dulge in small spite, nor foster petty jeal-
ousies; but they can get an awful lot of
sarcasm into their tones when they inform
You that one of their acqnaintances is IA
fellow with Scraggy pompadour."
