While the heroine is complaining she ought
to say something about her age. Ever since
SHAKESPEARE gave to us a 14-year-old Juliet-and
perhaps before his time-heroines have been
expected to do more than their tender years
would warrant. 1t is true that the ideas are
changing now, and women of % and even so
are occasionally given chance as heroines of
romance; but even now there is decided ten
dency to make the heroine Is 10 years ago she
was always 16), and then to have her wise, full
of social tact and able to cope with most des-
perate villains aud learned heroes. Everybody
knows that girl of Is is really not much more
than a child in most cases, and that she must
be well guarded. 1t is queer fashion to put
the wisdom of a woman of so into the curly
pate OF an 18-yesr-old maiden, and not artistic,
for it is only in rare cases true to life.

One way to serve pineapple is TO cut it up

with orange juice. The pineapple should be
well chilled before it is served.

Mabie had plainly been primed as to a still surer way to win the sympa- thies of his auditors. This he accom- plished by a dig at Harvard.
