Carew could not quite understand an

though she was fond of her cousin, she

But, in spite of Lady Carew's moder-

Latest Scheme of the Up-to-Date Girl
to Tease Her Friends.
The up-to-date Chicago girl is not
losing any chances, and her ingenuity
is being employed to make the most Of
the mistletoe superstition. Everybody
knows that according to an old GUS
tom. which comes down from the time
Of the Druids, a man is at perfect lib
erty to kiss n girl who happens to be
under IL sprig Of mistletoe-that is, IL
the girl is willing. 1t is the fashion to
hang a sprig Of mistlctoe to the chan
delier Of a room near Christmas time,
and sometimes it is hung Owe n dool,
so that every girl may be compelled
to receive Il salute as she enters or
leaves the room.
But these opportunities are not sufti-
cient to satisfy some of the girls. The
custom has arisen lately among them
of wearing a sprig OF mistletoe on
their hats. 1t lMs been noticed this
year, for the first time, and the custom
is spreading.
Probably the girls mean nothing at
all by it, but the temptation which is
offered to their masculine friends is

DOG BREAKS UP A HOME.
Woman Makes Trouble by Getting Rid
of Is Household Pet,

of Is Household Pet.
There is great trouble in an Ann Ar
Dor family rel a dog-a miserable
of no pedigree or usefulness, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. The head Of
the household has always been a great
lover of dogs Of all kinds and sizes
and about two weeks ago he came home
from work one night with a mongrel
under his arm that was half black-and-
tan and half plain deg. He showed
great love for the brute from the in
slant his eyes first lighted on its lep-
r%ous-looking form, but, as might be
imagined, that love "a not shared by
the other members of the mans family
that is, by a daughter. a son and a
wife. The father would have 1t that
the dog should sleep in the house, the
wife disagreed with him and a ruction
Immediately followed. However, for
two weeks the woman put up with the
innocent animal but could stand 1t no
Longer. One day, when the father n
master of the house was out OF town,
the woman gave the brute Into the
hands of a neighboring butcher, who
agreed to put the animal out OF the
way for a nominal price. This he did,
but what had been a happy home beg
gars description. When the father re-
turned from work that fatal night he
wanted his dog, and when his dog was
not forthcoming he set up a mighty
howl, saying he would exterminate
the entire family II Fido did not put
in an appearance before breakfast. But
Fido didn't whereupon the man waxed
more wroth and swore that such things
could not be in his house. He grew
angrier and angrier as the following
day wore on and when night came he
was in condition bordering on insanity.
His wife became frightened and his son
and daughter, in order to avoid the
prospective trouble, said they would
not live in a home that fostered such
a father. But the father would not be
appeased, and, his temper finally get
ting the better Of him. he ordered his
son and daughter out Of the house sim
ply because they did not agree with him
that their mother was a termagant for
having made away with the dog. Now
the young man is living away from
home and the daughter Is doing house,
work in an Ann Arbor family. The
wife continues to bear the burden of
her husbands temper, but with her
there is talk of divorce. And during
all this the dog sleeps on under a
mound In the butchers back yard.

Rural Free Deliverv.

Just before the adjournment OF o
gress Postmaster-G General Wilson sent
in a special report upon the result Of
free mail delivery experiments in rural
districts during the months Of Deem
Der and January last. The system was
tried at forty-two postofices in twenty
states, and the average cost per piece
of mail matter handled was 1854 cents.
The postmasters and the patrons of
the postofflces were unanimous in their
approval OF the plan; but the Post
master-General estimated that the ser
vice could not be extended over the
entire country except at an enormous
cost.

Fawcett turned slowly round that no
item of her dainty ball gown might be
lost.
"My dear, you'll be the success of the
evening: and O, what an exquisite
bangle that Isl" and with an exclama-
ton of delight, Lady Carew caught her
cousins wrist, on which glittered a
magnificent bracelet set with diamonds

things? Come. the carriage is ready"
$50 am I; but isn't Eric coming?"
Not with us: he was lunching with
the Delawares and sent over for his
things. He will go with them, and
he goes back there to Sleep"
The two women took their places in
the snug brougham. 1t was a fairly
long drive to Treloar Hall, where the
Darshire hunt ball was to take place.
but there was absolute silence in the
carriage, partly because, as cousins and
intimate friends, there was no neces-
sity for conversation between it's occ,-
pants, and also because Maggie Faw-
cett knew of old that Lady Carew hated
to tire herself out with talking before
the serious business of the flirting and
waltzing began.
Maggie Fawcett's appearance at the
hunt ball was something of an event.
She was the bride of the occasion.
Early in the spring she had married
Eric Fawcett, and this vas the first
winter she had spent on his estate in
Darshire.
Now and again Lady Carew glanced
at her cousin. Maggie leaned back in
her corner, the white fur of her wrap
nesting round her throat, and her
small head resting against the cush-
ions of the carriage. 1t struck her COM
panion that the young wife's face was
a little pale, and that 1t wore a look of
suppressed excitement, mingled with
something which seemed almost like
anxiety. What car be the matter with
the girl?" murmured Lady Carew to
herself. "she is evidently disturbed
about something. How she plays with
that bracelet. I wonder-but, no!
Maggie is the best little soul alive; and,
besides, there isn't an eligible man
within a dozen miles. Still, l never
should have expected Eric Fawcett to
have turned out a model h~usband;"
and she laughted softly to herself.
Laura Carew was a good six years
older than her cousin. and she remem-
bered very distinctly that at the same
ball last year, before Maggie had
flashed upon his armament, Eric
Fawcett had been her very de-
voted slave, and naturally she
smiled at the recollection "a lit
