LOVE MAKING REPORTED.
Well, different people have different
ways OF making love This was proved
the ether evening. A bad headache had

Ihe shutters were closed, and it was i'm
possible for me to let any one sitting out

had Deen asleep, and was awakened by a
man voice. l knew 1t was somebody's
from the dance, and paid no attention;
buI aIter awhile, in distinct tones. and
win New York accent, somebody said:
ITS love that l want; I am tired
OF stylish girls and gay girls,
want somebody who will love me and
make a home for me-" l didn't hear
the answer, the voice was TOO low, but
the man said Does it bit you! and how
dld l know that you would say yes!"
why, because have seen the love in
your eyes for weeks and loved you all the

was wondering who they were when l
heard another voice; again it was mans,

The answer came back loud and clear,
Nowv would you like your people to say
that you married a western girl!'
My people haven't got anything to do
with 1t; and you know you are the only
typical American girl | have seen here.
Inc southern girls are like our own, and
the New York girls, though they are
awfully good forms, are just a little too
anxious TO be swell, but the western girls

thing, l wouldn't have said yes if you

There was a good bit of laughing, and

custom was adhered TO-

RINGS AND RINGS.
On the southern girls hand glittered
big ruby, for her New York lover knew
that it was the stone that sym bolized deep
love. On the western girls hand was
seal ring, an old-fashioned one with a
coat of arms cut into 1t. Yesterday the
Honorable Alfred Edward Howard wore
1t on his little finger; now it was the
property of Miss Katherine Rush-Ahead
until he would have time to get her the
regulation three bands of diamonds that
every Englishman Of position puts on the
hand of the woman he is going
to marry, The New York girl
| had a blazing diamond-which repre-
| sented many thousands of dollars and
nothing else. While the demure maiden
from Boston wore an odd intaglio that
her lover had taken from the fingers of a
mummy when he was travelling in Egypt,
and which represented to her his love and
his learning. The story of the four en-
! gagements soon got about, and the fun
nieSt outcome was seeing the New York
! girl go up to the western one and regret
that they hadn't seen more of each other
during the summer while she expressed
hope that in the future they might be
friends. Is the story true? Every word
of il, else wouldn't dare sign it in full
with the name of BAB.
