Dora Dorr was born and brought
up in Jersey City. She is a decidedly
pretty girl; her principal characteris-
tic is that she is intensely practical.
From the time she was five years old
she made up her mind that everyone's
birthday in the family, including her
own, should be celebrated every year,
and as she had two brothers and two
sisters, as well as father and mother,
this made seven celebrations besides
Christmas, New Years, and the other
legal holidays. No, Dora would say,
I shall certainly never elope, want the
largest wedding I can have. | shall
send out cards a month in advance,
and then every one win have to send

birthday occurred about ten days
since, and it struck her forcibly some
time ago that it was an opportunity
for rather an unusual jubilee, as one is
not apt to be exactly twenty more
than once in a life time. She invited
all the girls that were her particular
friends to come about four in the after
noon, warning them that they were
expected to have had their dinners be-
fore coming.
DoRA's CHATELAINE.
Dora was very much pleased when
the important day arrived to receive
from her mother a pretty silver chate-
laine, with a watch hanging from it,
an article that she had long coveted.
The number of little empty chains on
it rather worried her, until her sisters
came down to their breakfast and gave
her their little gifts. One looked like
a small silver book. This had a tiny
looking glass in it, and a piece OF
chamois skin to be used to apply pow
der when one is ont for ON time.
Dora, who used no cosmetics, and
prided herself on her complexion,
laughed at it a little, but hung it on
one of the tiny chains. The handsome

other sister told her to make a list of
