the United States This lucky girl is a
lifelong acquaintance of the Balistier fam
lily, and has her home not far from their
marlborough rooftree. When the news
reached America Of Rudyard Kipling's
contemplated marriage, the friends Of the
bride at once came to the conclusion that
that parsonage was TO be the one Of the
sisters who bore the title in society of the
beautiful Miss Balister." AS so often
happens, 1t was not the beauty who be-
came the wife Of the great Anglo-Indian
writer. Her old schoolmates entertained
many fears that the familiar connection
between them would be severed by this
new alliance and only in remembrance Of
their quondam friendship greeted. Mrs.

with a great box full of flowers. To her
delighted surprise, the creator of Null
vaney, himself, soon after appeared at the
door, laden with the box, which he insisted
upon returning, because il was such a
particularly nice one" and disarming any
suspicious by the simplicity of his man

When A. Conan Doyle came into Yer
mont on his lecturing tour, he was claim

A positive. cult, says the New York
Times, has been reached in the service
of ice cream. The caterers stop at no
apparent obstacle in turning out appro-
pirate designs. So cleverly is everything
counterfeited in the frozen sweet that it
is often wise man who knows when he
is eating his ice. A bag of rice for a
wedding party, the grains falling out
with defying protection, prompted re-

but not to eat it raw"
A young bachelor who had boosted of
the skill of a certain caterer in turn
ing out different designs in cream en-
phasized his assertion one evening last
winter by promising a little supper to
small group of friends at which the
ice should completely deceive them. In
due time he gave it. When the guests
reached the table, a plate of blue points
on the half shell, properly resting on a
bed of crushed ice, with bit of lemon
at the side, was at eaCn cover. No sus-
picion was aroused that they were other

was told to take the dish to the sideboard
for service where plates with small
squares of toast were in readiness These
plates were handed around in a moment
piled with mushrooms, pump and appe-
tizing, that every guest would have
sworn were prepared before their eyes.
But they were not, as was soon discov-
cred. They were chocolate cream nodded

chatting dish, of course, having been a
mere blind.
