It Wac All Right:

Sho was'a young housekeeper who had
not lived on the hilltops very long, but
she was determined that her now dignity
should not manifest itself upon any COCA.
sion. Indeed she had made up her mind
to BIO wonderfully particular in the pur.
chase of supplies, that tho tradesman
might think she had boon raised in the lar
of luxury. So when she read in The Trib.
une that the milk inspector or the pure
food authorities had commenced q crusade
against the milk vendors she determined
to look into tho quality of milk and cream
that came into her household. She met
tho milkman at tho door and found hor
match in man who was tho president OF
the Liars club in it's best days
Mr.. Milkman," she said, 81 don It like
the looks of the milk you are furnishing
u.s."
"Why, what's wrong with it?" was the
response.
why, it's altogether too thin and blue"
"But, my dear madam" said tho I'M
abashed swindlor, II can give you white
milk, but my milk oil comes from the
blue grass region Of Kentucky, and it is
necessarily slightly tinted But will
change it for some of the white kind"
mo; never mind" she answered. ''We
will take it for awhile. never knew the
grass so affected it. "-Cincinnati En-

Mary; !. Andersso;n.

Mary Anderson De Navarro, In recount
Ing her early stage experience In The IIa-
dies Home Journal, asserts that New Or
leans audiences were tho first to give her
recognition of substantial sort, and Of
the Crescent City she speaks with genuine
fondness. Rather oddly it was in Meg
Merrilies' that she won the favor and
plaudits of the New Orleans public. The
house on the occasion of her presentation
OF the play was crowded and tho audience
wildly enthusiastic. "There were speeches
and presentations" writes Mrs. De Ma
varro, land checks concealed in baskets
OF flowers were handed over the foot
lights" One gift that came on that night
to the aspiring young actress and brought
her much joy was a Washington artillery
badge, which made her IA member of the
battalion that won the name of the Tigers
In the late war.

Fair Old Maids.

A statisticinn has discovered that the
number of dark haired girls who got mar
ricd greatly exceeds that of the fair ones
and in ordor to prove that this is owing to
mans choice, not to tho redundancy of
brunettcs among us, he proceeds to prove
that an overwhelming majority of those
women who live and die unmarried"-
he is too gallant to call them old maids
have fair hair and blue eyes. This is q lit
flo surprising, for blonds-aro SO much
moro confiding and inclined to sentiment
than their dark sisters that ono would
have thought them likely to prove moro
attractive to men. But romance of feeling
sometimes produces distaste for realities.
Perhaps the ordinary man fails to roach
the ideal standard Of maiden fancy, and
this may be why SO many golden haired
drcamers prefer to remain SINGLE thus
leaving the moro practical dark lnssios to
make wives for tho "average males. -
