WHEN LovsLAcs CAME TO WOO.

The feet Of time make fast their pace.
And We, like players in play.
Strut up and down our little space
And act our parts as best we may.
Alasl Alack and well dayl
The stage Is digit In somber hue,
Where once that stately vogue held sway,
When Richard Lovelace came to WOO. =.
And much we marvel as we trace
The feuds and foibles passed away.
While pcmp Of power and pride of place
Troop down the years in grand array.
In court and camp, In fete and fray,
PICKLE and hipPant, stanch and true,
Such wero the gallants, bold and gay,
When Richard Lovelace came to woo.
In doubict fine end frills Of lace
The lover sought his gSit to pay;
With such form and such face,
Who could resist his Plea, pray.
And then thai tendon roundelay,
81 like wocd doves plaintive COO,
Sweet Lucy could not say him nay
When Richard Lovelace came to WOO.
ENVOY.
Ho, Kentish towers! your lordly race
Had swords to draw and deeds TO do
In that cventfrl year Of grace,
When Richard LoYelace came to WOO.

cred or otherwise decorated. The other
materials for the portfolio consist of
two pieces Of heavy strawboard the re-
quired size and paper for lining. The
covering should be in one piece suffi-
GENTLY large for the boards to be laid
side by side upon it, with space of
two inches intervening for the hinge
and an inch to spare all around the edge
for tapping over. One side of each
board is thoroughly covered with paste,
and the boards are laid upon the cover
ing as described, the paste next to the
goods. A strip of the material inches
wide and the exact length of the boards
is then pasted along the hinge space,
tapping on the boards one-half inch ON
each side. The projecting edge of the
covering is then folded over all the way
around and pasted down, and the entire
article placed under heavy pressure to
dry. A line of machine stitching is then
run along each side of the double thick
ness of cloth which forms the hinge,
close to the board, to prevent it from
separating from the cover when it is
handled. Sits one-haf inch in length
are cut through the boards near the
edge, through which the tapes or rib
bons used to fasten the portfolio are
| drawn from the outside, the inside end
being pasted down fat The slit must
be cut with the point of a very sharp
knife, beginning on the outside. A lin
ing of heavy paper is pasted on the in.
side of each board, concealing the turned
in edges of cover and the ends of tape,
and the portfolio is again placed under
pressure until it is completely dry.

the girl he was counting. He went right
off and married her.
An old man from the country came

morning paper and sat down at my side.

you ever court grass widder?"

Ibid you ever marry one?"
"Yes.'

GOOD HEALTH.
A French Notion For Correcting the Firing
Of the Forehead.

A French Notion For Correcting the Fringe
of the Forehead.
A dexterous French feat Is that Of
growing hair along the foreheads Of wo-
men with whom nature has been cruel
in arranging for the hair to grow too
far back on the forehead or where the
hair springs in an ugly, irregular line.
From other parts Of the head short,
new sprouting hairs are delicately ex-
tracted and replanted along the top of
an uncomely forehead. This system of
reporting hair is. done according to the
rules nature observes in the management
of her hair crops, and after about three
months of careful, regular attendance
daily a woman comes forth browed like
Madonna or the glorious Greek We
muses., just as she may have selected.
The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser, in commenting upon this new
process, further remarks that the invent
or of it olings boldly to the argument
that no woman can ever expect to lay
any claim to beauty whose forehead is.
as he expresses it, ''ungraoefully
draped, and that of all beautiful wom-
en- he never found face that for half
its charm did not depend upon the love
ly framing of the forehead.
Modern training, he argues, has en-
larged the size of women's heads nearly
half inch all around and added half
inch of what he chooses to call "bald
space" to their foreheads' depth. The
increase in the heads size has taken
from perfect feminine grace, and the
widening of forehead from eyebrows to
hair roots has nearly destroyed the low
Madonna browed woman, the type of
most perfect female loneliness.
