began arranging my money and counting
up what had spent. Suddenly a small
slight man slipped out from under the
seat and coolly took the place beside me,
showing me tiny pistol which he held
cooked and ready TO fire.

not the least aggravating part of the
whole adventure is that most people
really believe that it never happened!n

A Philadelphia firm makes a speciality
of fried ice cream, which is pronounced
delicious by all who taste it. A small,
solid cake of the cream is enveloped in
thin sheet Of pie crust, and then dipped
in boiling lard or butter long enough to
cook the outside to a crisp. Served i'm
mediately, the ice cream is found to be as
solidly frozen as when it was first pre-
pared. The process of frying is so quickly
accomplished and the pastry is SO GOOD
protector that the heat has no chance to
reach the frozen cream.
Just about the time young girl blooms
into possible or prospective bride, says
the New York World her fate. hangs, to
a large extent upon the tact or diplomacy
of her mother. There are mothers who
have clear ideas of the kind of marriage
it is possible and desirable that their
daughters should make. They give their
girls the training which fits them for
such 4 marriage, they frown on all uude-
sirablo associations, and foster all that
meet their wishes. Their daughters
almost always marry and lead respectable
and comfortable lives. 1t is not so Ger
tain that they lead lives Of enthusiasm.
Yet it is hardly fair to laugh at such
mothers and call them matchmakers.
They often know their children better
than the children know themselves, and
it is very well that the elders should guide
the choices, though it would be intoler-
able If they made the decision. A wo-
man who loves her child must try to Sc
cure the child's happiness according to
her light If she is high-minded, and
wishes her daughter to marry a noble
man, she will not use base means. If she
wishes to crafty alselfsh ambition, she
cannot use worthy means
1t is, however, a great mistake to let
girl grow up with the idea that she will
be sure to marry, or worse still, that she
ought to marry. On the contrary, pains
should be taken to teach her to choose
well by keeping a high standard before
her both as to friends and as TO book;
while few iudicious words should be
said TO her from time to time. Unfort-
unately few mothers seem TO know how
to say these words.

One aggravating cause of disaffection
between NicOlini and his wife is the
lady's waiting maid, Caroline Bauer
meister by name Caroline is said to
WELD a remarkable influence over Patti
and to control her actions to mysterious
degree. Just what the secret Of her
power is no one has ventured to cOnjec-
ture, but the whole situation is so repug-
nant to NicOlini that he is said TO have
demanded the peremptOry discharge of
this willy German woman as the primary
condition of his further continuance in
the marital harness. Caroline snaps her
fingers at the enraged Italian and re-
mains secure in her position.

she has been striving to attain that she
may be insured in certain companies. OF
course the conditions are rather severe.
She will have to pay more for the privi-
lege than a man does for the insurance
companies still maintain that they take q
greater risk in insHring women-gentle,
domestic, early-Jo-bed and early-to-rise
women-than they do in insuring men,
who revel late o. nights, court delirium

other ways endeavor to dispose Of their

Insurance is an admirable investment
for women, despite the discrimination
against them. The woman who has any one
depending upon her will lift a load of anx-
iety from her mind by having her life in
sured She will know then that what
ever happens she has provided for her
charges. And the woman who has no one
at all dependent upon her will find it
equally pleasant TO reflect that she is
able to leave money to some one whom it
will benefit.
An ordinary policy is issued for any
sum desired AS long as the person in
sured lives, she must pay the premiums
on that sum and at her death the sum
will be paid to her beneficiary.
