ALIMoNY WAS THE CONNECTION
How Two Chicago Women Traced a Re
lationship.

1t was their first meeting in several
years, and, Of course, they had a great
deal to say to each other, relates the
Chicago Post.
Il have been so busy that 1 haven't
had time to study it out" said the one
in blue, but I think we are related in
some way now, are we not?"
mo, think not" replied the one in
dark brown. Where did you get that
idea?"
why, I had an impression that the
second wife of your first husband was
the first wife of my present husband,
and that you would make sort of con-
Meeting link, you know"
Possibly you are right. but we could
hardly call that relationship. We can
come closer than that through your sec
ond husband, who was cousin. two or
three degrees removed, Of my present
husband, but even that does not make
any relationship. 1 think, perhaps.
that you have become confused on the
subject of alimony, which constitutes
the most direct connection"
Il never could get those complica-
tions through my head" said the one m
blue.
We'll" explained the one in dark
brown, 1.-The alimony that you get from
your first husband is really just enough
to pay the alimony that your present
husbands first wife gets from him."
yes. ] let him have it for that pur-
pose"
"Then his first wife" continued the
mathematician in dark brown, was my
first husbands second wife, and as he
is paying me the same amount of ali
mony, the money is simply transferred
to me. That is where the connection
comes in"

PORTRAIT OF A LADY.

- ERES a piquant. pensive maiden,
Gracious as a summer night,
When the breeze. with fragrance laden,
Pipes its chorus of delight.
Shapely as some Grecian shepherd,
Posing in untutored ease,
Supple as some tawny leopard
Gambling amid the trees.
How describe that liquid laughter,
Gurgling Ike a mountain rill?
Soaring, ringing meath the rafter,
Sanguine, splendid, never still.
How portray that regal bearing?
Stately as some gracious queen,
Or some widowed duchess wearing
Jewels of a lustrous sheen.
And your timorous tread is lighter
Than the shy and quivering deer,
And your ivory brow is brighter
Than the dawning of the year;
And your voice is low and thrilling,
Sweeter than a mourning dove
Cooling for her mate and filling
All the air with plants of love.
Inky black those silken tresses,
Coiling like the ravens wing,
Shrinking from the winds caresses,
Clustering in the roguish ring.
And your lustrous eyes are tender,
Stainless as some splendid star
My paltry homage do 1 render.
Thin echoes trickling from affair."
