Rudolph Brinckerhof. she did not know
him.
DIR. Brinckerhoff has an expression
of countenance which is the result OF
near-sightedness combined with hab-
1t of rubbing his nose hastily over the
pages of medical works written by
other eminent authorities all of whom
he scorns and despises. He turned
this mask of inexpressible disapproval
toward Maude, and said: "Well, what
seems to be the matter with you?'
my throat is very bad, said Maude.
''I've had diphtheria three times"
'Humph." grunted the doctor, az
guess you mean tonsilitis."
There was where lie walked Maude
up On that question she would have
delayed Azrael himself to listen. She
told DR.. Brinckerhoff, with womaDs
natural pride, that her diphtheria, on
each and every occasion, had been the
worst that had ever been known. She
had started three epidemics of diph-
liberia, and persons who had failed to
take it after her had seriously jeopar-
died their social positions
Well" said the doctor, Tets have
look at your throat. Light up couple
more of those gasjets."
Now stand mp" said the doctor to
Maude. pitied her. She had not ex-
pectcd to stand up. She had prepared
lovely. light blue thing on the back
OF the chair, to put her head on during
the examination. With her mouth
open just little the baby blue would
be very becoming.
But that was not the way Dr. Brinck-
erhoff laid out the scene. When he
got Maude on her feet, he put his long
and bony hand on her hair; and she
hasn't been able To make it lie RIGHT
since Then he pried Maud's mouth
open till thought he intended to get
into it.
Nothing but an inflamed tonsil,
said he. Looks pretty big. Swelling
may not go down. If it doesn't, come
round TO NY Office and I'll hack it out.
He wrote a prescription and took up
his hat. Maude was weeping at the
thought of the terrible surgical opera
ton. The doctors heart was touched.
1T won't hurt You very much" said
he; land it won't hurt me at all. So
don't cry. Good night

Scription flied. When / returned

to obey. She stood up in chair be-
side me and wreathed her hand in my
luxuriant locks. She twisted my head
around till | could see the two buttons
on the back of my coat. Then she in
serted the soup ladle into my mouth,
ana gave truly realistic imitation Of
DR. Brincberhoff's methods, as they
may appear, if, according to Maude's
idea, they are practised principally
upon horses and hippopotami
How do you like that?' she exc
claimed. IF your head doesn't feel
good tomorrow come around to my
office. and viii cut it off"
Then she laughed Historically. I
began to fear that Dr. BrinckerhoT's
visit might not be wholly productive of
good in our family. 1t seemed i'm
probable that Maude would take his
medicine, aSd little real benefit could
result simply from his bill. But by
clever ruse I induced her to take the
medicine in spite of its color. l showed
her how wicked it would be to waste
the eighty-five cents | had paid for it.
she ought to take it now in order TO
save the money, even though it might
be unlovely and Intellectual | pointed
out to her that by taking it in
the dark the defect of color could
be reduced to a minimum; and I
added that if she took it and
became much worse it would be
signal triumph over Dr. Brinckerhof.
Ny arguments prevailed; and the
next day she was quite well. / never
knew an infamed throat to be relieved
with such magical CELEBRITY. And l
never saw Maude so utterly disgustcd
She tried very hard to convince herself
and me that the medicine hadn't done
her one bit OF good, but in h,r own
heart she knew that it had cured her,
and she ragged accordingly.
But has her estimate OF DIR. Brincker-
ho3f's professional value been effected?
Yes: she regards him with an even deep
err distrust and aversion. When she IS

As for me. it may be ordained by
Providence that | shall 60 out and

that | shall try 10 match something the

in earth or sky; bat l will never select
a doctor for her again. even If he has
diplomas from Poole and McAllster.

'What horrid looking stuff, cried
Maude. ''Ugh, It's green. It looks

''She's been an invalid for seven years:
and he's been just as nice as he could

find out what's the matter with her.
The other day | was there when he
called, and he pounded her on the back
for over half an hour. He did it so
gently that 1t didn't hurt her bit.
Then he listened to find out whether
the pounding had knocked anything
over. He didn't seem to be sure
whether it had or not, so he pounded
some more. You know that's what the
doctor did when he was trying 10 ind
out whether the insurance company
could make anything out of you. It's
the way all doctors ought TO do. But
this DR.. Brinckerhoff thinks he can
find all about persons vital organs
by looking down his throat. lie ought
to know that he can't really see any

HE could see the tonsils, and that's
where the trouble is.

suggested.
"FiGdlesticks! He didn't care. He

women who inhabit the villages, anu
sometimes the young bridegrooms are
attracted by their charms more than
is agreeable to the feelings of the
brides
In the Turkish village there IS girl
who was sent here because she was the
fairest girl in Bethlehem, the sacred
city of Palestine. Her name i Esther,
and she is known as the daughter of
HamiIii." Esther is as lovely as the
dav and she dresses in the picturesque
costume worn bv the natives Of Judea.
Her hair II piled high on the top Of her
head. and there it is covered BY great
head-dress OF spow-wkite linen that
falls TO her feet. It Is just such head
dress as Mrs. George Gould wore IN one
OF DIR. Days plays when she was Miss
Edith kingdom aud was part and par

said that Il was in this costume that
the young multi-millionaire saw her

But to the bridal couples! They are
SO numerous on the wooded island that
one stops counting them and numbers
them as part Of the scenery Of the
island along with The black swans and
the white geese. They seem to prefer
its simplicity TO the gilded elegance OF
the Administration building or the
gold and white Of the public reception
rooms.
The Midway Plaisance is another
charming place at the fair. 1t is as
quaint and as different from the rest
OF the exposition as though it we're no
part of it. There are thirteen villages
upon it. and each village is rs complete

fair. Yet It maintains It's individual
ity. so to speak. through it all, and is
serene and quiet in the midst of all the
hurry burly.
The gondoliers from Venice are the
most picturesque OF all the creatures,
animal and human, TO be seen on the
lagoon. And as there are only seven
teen of these big gondo!iers there is
great rivalry for their services, for
every one wants to have the pleasure
Of being gondoled across the lagoon
by them. 1t is usually the bridal
couples who have this pleasure, be-
cause they are willing to wait until
the gondoliers are at liberty to take
them. and they are so generous in the
matter of tips that they are favored
passengers
The handsomest gondolier Of them
all is big Venetian named Domenico
Moretti. he dresses in a costume OF
the fourteenth century, and was spe-
cialy sent here by the Venetian officials
because he has won more prizes at
Venice than all the other boatInen put
together. and is consequently the best
representative Of the famous Venetian
gondoiers.
Some of the gondoliers have fine
voices, and in the evening when they
row their fares over tna lake they
sing their Venetian melodies to- slow,
lazy meter that is very delightful to
hear One moonlight evening-it was
the very last moonlight evening we
h2d-au seventeen of the Venetian
gondoliers were on the lagoon, and
each had, if one can judge from ap-
pearances. a bridal couple in his gon-
dola. And as they Flided along they
sang in unison q lovely Swiss melody.
just what the words were in Swiss no
one seemed to know. But this is what
they sounded like in English:

knew by the way Maude looked at

Tt is easy to pick out the bridal
couples at the fair. Those who have
made a study Of the crowds swarTning
through Chicago daily say that there
are three indisputable ways Of dis
tinguishing the honeymoon couples
from all others. And these are the
three ways: First. they are the only
people who never seem weary Of sight
seeing. They have happy, peaceful
expression OF coGntenanea, Just as Il
they thought that the whole display
had been made expressly for them and
would last forever, just this way.
Secondly, the bridal couples are the
only ones who do not seem to notice
the exorbitant prices which are being
charged for things. The happy groom
has made up his mind that he Is going
to spend his money and he spends il
like a little man, without stopping to
inquire whether cup of coffee at thirty
five cents has not gone up, or whether
soda water isn't dear al quarter. IN
the matter Of fair souvenirs he is per-
fectlv reckless. lie buys whatever
pleasas her" and does not stop 20
count the cost until the salesgirl has
first recl1oned 1t up for him. He buys
Isabella cuff buttons for her mother,
Siamese slippers for his, trinkets for
all the children at home and necklaces
with reckless abandon, and display
Of greenbacl1s, seen only in the case OF
one-month old bridegrooms.
Thirdly, and this test is the nest
complete Of ali, the bridal couples have
way OF picking out the pretty and
secluded spots on the fair grounds with
celebrity truly remarkable And,
especially so, when one considers that
they have come to Chicago IS strangers,
and had no more previous knowledge
of the secluded and picturesque hooks
than any OF the others who have come
to the fair. It is as if instinct guided
them to these pleasure places IN the
great fair grounds. and told them to sit
down and take in the whole world and
make plans for the future.
And these are the ways by which you
pick out the bridal couples who are
making wedding tour to the worlds
fair. And you pick them unerringly
every time.
The prettiest place in the FIVE miles
of drives and walks in the fair grounds
is the lagoon. Although tins circles
in and out and through all the busiest
parts of the fair, it is very calm and
lovely all the time. 1t goes past Ma
chinery hall, past the Mining building,
past the Electricity building and past
ell of the great noisy structures at the
