Words Too Expressive.

One is almost startled at the discov.
cry of a new and most disagreeable
force in a single word, when that word
is applied to himself to characterize
some unpleasant fact of which he has
long been aware. "Don't call me
fieshy!" said a lady of magnificent pro-
portions; i don't object to my size, but
/ simply can't bear that word!' An
other woman has not the least desire
To marry but cannot endure being
called @spinster.' Not long ago q
pretty oma in the thirties an
nounced her intention of taking q
somewhat extended trip alone, and
ended with the remark: IAN old maid
like me doesn't need an escort" Then
Marjorie, the little maid of the family,
burst into n torrent Of tears. YOURS
not an old maid. auntie!" she vailed;
~you're not! | can't bear it," But /

ing; it's a nice thing to be. like IT,"
"Oh, but you're not, you're mott" cried
Marjorie, and she rushed off to the
study to ask, passionately: -Papa, is
auntie an old maid?" mo, dear, said
her father soothingly. mot at all. She's
only a postponed BRIDE" That proved
wondrous comforting. The tears were
speedily dried. but auntie herself was
somewhat electrified when a caller
came that afternoon to hear the little
girl inquire sweetly and in a tone so
innocent that nc one could suggest her
ceasing TO repeat the remark: @Did
you know that Aunt Helen is q post
poned bride? Isn't IL nice9"-St LouSs

"SMlThI" AhQ-IhElNASSAR Girl
An Hours Conversation With Her Took
the Conceit Out of Him.

"She was tall and graceful" says the
N. 4. Herald, with clear cut features,
expressive eyes, and a mouth and chin
whose firm lines denoted force of char
scter. Her hair was a light golden
brown. aud altogether the young lady
excited no small degree of curiosity
"Tell you what, boys" observed
Smithy, "she's a regular hummer.
You want to watch yourselves, too,
for that's just about my style, see?
and I'm going to make a play for an
Introduce"
Imay mention here that the scene
referred 10 occurred last week in the
dining-room of a fashionable private
hotel up town. Mr.. Smith, popularity
known as "Smithy, is a general favor-
tie among the other boarders there.
particularly with the lady guests. His
distinguishing characteristics are good
clothes, an exalted opinion of himself.
and an elaborate knowledge of slang.
Miss Ray, the new guest, was intro
duced TO Smithy that evening. After
IN hours conversation with her Smithy

lighting a cigar, casually remarked
that this here's q queer world, any

asked me il | believed in sublineal

making il a Jackpot. But she didn't
appear to catch on and that made ME
tired.
Then she just waded in. Wow! but
1t fairly showered jaw-breakers for the
next half hour. She's a graduate of
vassar College, she told me, and, SO
help me Bob, that was the only part
of her conversation l could under
stand.
~.Most people, she said, hold ignor-

things she asked me If / / believed that

Then Smithy relapsed into thought
suluess.

A young man with a pale and anx

postmaster. "A letter which j mailed
