The slush in Fulton street was
ankle-deep, but they didn't seem to

the ingenuity Of a March storm, but
they had no umbrella, and as they
stood arm-in-arm at broadway and
Fulton streets, they looked as If they
had been married about ten minutes.
He was a thin young man, with a
brown derby hat and a slightly
troubled look. She was young and
pretty, and she wore a pair Of white
kid shoes, and a big white hat with
mink roses all over it and she was too
hlppy to think Of tie weather
@Oh, William" she whispered, az
she nestled closer to the thin young
man, -isn't it glorious to be alone
together, darling, in a great city?s
The thin young man made no re-
ply. The rainwater was dripping
from his brown derby-like medicine
out of a patent dropper.
"All alone, she continued, gazing
blissfully at the tower on the West

tirmer grip on the thin young mans
right arm, ahome aud friends far

There is nothing that makes so much
difference between ordinary and deli
cate cooking as a set Of strainers. 1t

There should be one OF very fine wire
for sitting soda, spices, etc, and for
straining custards and iellies. There
should be others with meshcs from

The whole dress was loose, but the
long sleeves prevented the hands

the dress freely permitted the wearer

Night came, and our charge retired
TO bed in her new-iangled night

The usual hour for the night walk

enjoined not to stir. She raised her

This query is made by a writer,
and he then goes on to say; Il one
day saw a drove OF the small black
ants moving, perhaps to better quar-
tiers. The distance was some one
hundred aud fifty yards. Almost all
which came from the old home car
ried some Of the household goods.
Some had eggs, some had what might
have answered for their bacon or
meat, some had one thing and some
another. l sat and watched them
closely for over an hour / noticed
that every time two met 10 the way
they would hold their heads close to-

and no matter how often the meeting

ing eye witnesses to the murder went
with speed, and with every ant they
met this talking took place as before.
But instead Of a pleasant greeting, it
was sad news they had to communi-
cate. l knew it was sad news. for
every ant that these parties met
hastily turned back aud fed on an
other course, as much as to say:

safety do not 90 there. for l have

been generally worn in the Queens
household for several years. Now,
