\ tWenty-year married woman sait
to me recently:

4 twenty-year married woman said
to me recently:
AS my husband is away a great part
of the time and have no other men
folks to fall back-or forward-upon.
| am a little 10th about accepting in
vitatiOnS for evening parties and the
like.
It's a dreadful thing to force man
out of his comfortable home into the
cold street at some unearthly hour,
and am sensible enough to know it.
Still, l did accept card to a little
affair this winter, and at 10 o'clock
sncaked up to the cloakroom determin-
ed to go off quietly by myself
But the hostess met me on the stairs
and wouldn't hear of such a thing.
George is going to take you ho1ne'' ~
she said. Its all arranged and he's
delighted at the chance of getting out
into the air
l protested and she insisted, infer
ring that it was the one thing of all
others that George-her husband-Was
longing to do.
So l waited on the top stair while
she went to notify. George. And this
was what foated up to me with the
strains of the band, and the scent of
the flowers:
ooh, for the Lords sakev' Have 1
got to take that woman home? Why,
she lives in 1O4th street, and I'm just
beginning to enjoy myself. What the
devils the reason these people can't
have escorts?. 1t is an outrage! III call
call a big messenger boy and let him
escort her."
But by this time I had fled out Of
the front door into the night.-Polly
Pry in New York Recorded.

Above the Horizon.


There she isl
The speaker, a tall bronZed man in
the sixties, leaned forward in his sad
die as he spoke, and pointed out to
his companion vague and indistinct
object that had loomed up in the edge
of the distant horizon.
The vast prairie, like a restless and
troubled sea, rose and fell away from
them on all sides, and save for the
peculiar object that had just dawned
on their vision there was nothing else
visible to the eyes Of the father and
son, except the vast dome of the sky
overhead, fecked by the moving pan
Drama of feecy clouds.
Months before the daughter. who
was the pride and solace Of the old
mans life, had gone East on visit,
and to-day the father and son had
ridden out on the prairie in hopes that
they might in advance catch first
glimpse of the form they both loved
so we'll.
Ten minutes. then twenty. then
thirty passed by, and the old man
gazed with kindling eyes at the
prairie wagon that now. plain to the
view, was slowly drawing nearer. But
this was not what had first claimed
their attention, and as father and son
put spurs to their horses the old man
turned to the younger, his eyes glad
with the light of expectation and i'm
patience, as he exclaimed:
Il knew her at once, jim. even be-
fore the prairie wagon came in sight

In Hard Luck.

Mr.. Fake lost his gold-headed cane.
He did not expect to see it again, but
a tramp brought it to him saying he
had found it.
"You are an honest man. exclaimed
Fake, "and, as a reward for your hon
esty you may keep the cane. The
cane itself is not worth much, but
you can sell the gold head to some
jeweler."

They Charmed the Audience

Three ladies walked down the center
aisle in the National Theater on Mon

florid style of architecture, and cover
ed with luXuriant vegetation.
Strong men shuddered and grew pale
with anxiety as to where those hats
would eventually locate themselves
and as the ladies slowly moved to the
front the feelings Of the audience verg

Household Hints.

A carpet formed of layers Of paper,
a ply of felt and an intermediate fill

fold side, producing a spring edge, is
late invention.
The system of washing linen with
petroleum said to be customary in
parts of Russia has been introduced
into a German military hospital. Fif-
teen drains of petroleum are added to
fifteen liters of water containing soap
and lye, and the linen is boiled in the
mixture. The cleansing is much easier
than by the usual methods, the linen
suffers no loss and assumes a winter
color.
French women have long known the
virtues of prompt inhalation of eau
de cologne for cold, but like all such
remedies, the cologne should be in
hailed as soon as the first symptoms
Of the attack appear. Deep whiffs
must be taken, and the fumes are
more potent when the cologne is pour
ed on handkerchief. Four or five IN
halations of from two to three nip
utes each are sufficient.

there can be no such place in Florida as a

ries on the continent there may DO found the
most fertile lands in the peninsular state or
elsewhere; there is the best fishing and some
of tho largest fish-shipping firms In the United
States.
