WHY SHE WAS GRACIOUS.

A Lover Who Easily Fell Into an Ingen-
 ious Trap.
 She was particularly gracious that night, and he was correspondingly happy. He felt that he lad made an impression at last
 Sho lot him hold her hand minute when she welcomed him, and he thought in fact, he was quite sure-that she re- sponded to the gentle squeeze he gave it, and heretofore she had been so distant, so cold, although always courteous. Surely it was enough to make him feel happy. Then she laughed at his witticisms, and there was something ill her manner that invited him to draw his chair closer to hers. Of course he accepted the invitation, and almost before he knew it he found himself whispering all sorts of silly things to her, while she listened with downoast
 It was blissful, and yet there was a greater pleasure in store for him. She blushed and hesitated a little as she asked if be had photograph of himself
 Of course he had, and she should have one that very night. He would go for one at once She protested that that was not necessary, but he insisted. She should have anything that sho wanted and have 1t at once.
 She thanked him so coyly and sweetly when he brought it that the boy was near ly insane with joy, and when ho left she let him hold her hand again for a minute.
 Then, as ho walked away with light step and light heart, she handed the photograph to her maid and said with de- cision

Fruit Foods.

Each year folks grow toappreciate more fully the value of fruit and eat it not as a luxury, but as staple article of food.
 Fruits are nourishing, refreshing, appetiz- ing and purifying, and consequently have effect upon the health and the complexion.
 Yet there are differences Grapes and ap- ples arc highly nutritious. Grapes usually agree with the most delicate persons, for they are so easily digested. Nothing is easier to digest than a baked apple taken either with or without cream. Oranges, lemons and lines are of great value as means of improving the complexion, and they are especially good If taken before breakfast Ripe peaches are easy of diges- tion, and are fastening. Nothing is better to enrich the blood than straw berries, which contain larger percentage of iron than any other fruit Fruit with firm flesh, like apples, cherries or plums, should be thoroughly masticated; otherwise they are difficult to digest. Tho skin of raw fruit should never be eaten, and before eat ing grapes or any small fruit care should be taken to remove all impurities by wash ing. Never swallow grape stones. Stale fruit and unripe fruit should never be cat en, and very acid fruit should not be taken with farinaceous foods unless the person has vigorous digestion. New York Sun.

Heard the Baby.

Hast summer" says telephone man. ager of Chicago, ''a big, portly, smiling but excited man rushed in and asked if he could reach Evansville, Ind, by phone. He was assured that he could, and in about two minutes he disappeared in a booth to talk to his wife. We'll, he talked about 15 minutes. Finally he bounced out of the box, skipping his thigh. , They're on me, gentlemen he said. 'I'll be right back He darted out, and in two minutes was back with box of as good cigars as ever smoked.

 ness Done by Brother Mason.
 Among the prisoners taken by the Un- ion troops at the time Pickett made his great charge at Gettysburg was Virginia sergeant. He was Mason. Captain John A. Kellogg of the Sixth Wisconsin guye him drink of something reviving from his canteen and put some rations in his empty hayersack. Their parting was that of brothers.
 In December, 1864, when Kellogg was colonel commanding his regiment, ac- oompanied him on ride along the picket line q few miles to the left of Petersburg. By somo medns, and without knowing it, we got between tho picket lines We wore brought to halt suddenly by the follow ing unmilitnry salutation:
 Is that you, Captain Kelloggf',
 Looking up, and~abodt two rods to the right. we saw a lieutenant and dozen men in gray whe had apphrently just taken their arms in preparation for serious business
 That's my name, sir, answered the colonel.
 Beg pardon, Colonel Kellogg. You were captain at Gettysburg. A How me to extend congratulations upon your pro- motion.

 "Guess you don't remember me, colo nel ''
 ''I guess that is so, said Kellogg and he was more nervous than I ever saw him in battle.
 I'm the sergeant you gave nip from your caHteen and whose haversack you filled at Gettysburg. They have made me a lieutenant since then. I'd like to have visit with you, but the officer of the day is due here. Guess you had better get back to your lines.'
 "Thank you, lieutenant" said the colo nel, saluting, and as we turned to leave the Confederate gave the command: "Shoulder armsl Right dressl Present armsl" Then both of us lifted our hats There was fraternity for youl-Chicago Times-Herald.

IN THE DRAMATIC WORLD.

The theatrical season will soon be upon us ,Birmingham's play house, OBrien's, will be under a new management, l. e., old hands at the business, but new firm --Messrs. Grambs, Theiss and Harris. These names are synonomous with O'Brien's opera house, each gentleman having been long connected with it. Prof. Fred l.. Grambs as director of the orchestra, MT. Ben s. Theiss as stage di- rector and manager, and MT. Will c. Har- ris, Jr., in charge of the electrical works.
 Prof. Grambs has his reputation made as an orchestral director Mr. Theiss likewise as manager and MT. Harris, with many years experience to his credit both fpere and in other leading cities, as electrician and in other capacities. He will handle the finances. With such a team, plenty of pluck and determination, it is safe to say the coming season of 1S97-98 at O'Briens will be a succs s5ful one.
 On Aug. 30 the doors will be thrown open for business and ths formal opening will be made by the WoodwardW Warren Co.,, with a week of repertoire at popular prices. It is hardly necessary to say any thing of this company, so we'll is it known to Birmingham's theater goers. Suffice it to say the company will be here on time.
 Miss Lillian Lewis will present two plays during her engagement here-"For Liberty and Love-" a romantic military play, and An Innocent Sinner" char acter play. Both are scenic productions. "FNor Liberty and Love" is of stronger local and general interest than any play seen here in years, as it appeals directly and forcihly to the sympathies and pr,n- ciples of all people.
 An Innocent Sinner is the character comedy which made such a sensational success when produced in New York. The company engaged to support Miss Lewis includes w. A. Wilitecar, Nestor Lennon, Hugh Gibson. Ceoll Kingston. J. w. Davenport, Rowlan Hill. Lizzie Creese, Laura Almosino and other we'll known artists.
 "A Puritan Romance" is the name of the comedy dn which Miss Isabelle EvsTson and Miss EsteHe Clayton will appear as joint stars. The comedy is a quaint story of Puritan life. The author is Miss Estelle Clayton, whose clever work as dTamatist the public and critics are familiar with, she being the author of 'F'avette," :" ''Ths Sad Coquette," and 'The Runaway Match"
 Miss Everson is favorably known to theater goers by her excellent work at wailack's as the leading lady of Wynd- ''Fauntleroy," as the leading lady of the Boston Museum. and by her many suc- cesses. Both ladies are celebrated among the stage beauties.

 If you Gealt want ths world to know that you have done . thing, don't do it." was the sage obsefvntioh of an ancient philosopher. Tho advice has renewed force now, when women are becoming moro and more emancipated and are talk ing up the pursuits and occupations and even the sports and pleasures that used to be considered mans especial prerogatiyes. Whether women's faces are more mobile and more ready to receive an imprint, or whether woI; en are less given to self re- straint, and so express more of their inner feelings, Is not definitely understood, but the fact remains that on nearly every fem mine face is indelibly stamped some im- press of her favorite pursuit or amusement
 Tho bicycle face is well known, with it's tightly drawn muscles, resolnte, tense ex- precision and an underlying air of resigna- tion, as if it were saying. If death whirls around the next corner, will meet it with fortitude.' The long distance lens of the golf eye is also growing common, but the card face is comparatively new. The more experienced Sherlock Holmeses of society claim that they can detect the difference between the whist face and the oounte- nance molded by progressive euohre, but the card face in general is recognizable of the veriest tyro
 There are women who have thrown themselves into card playing so forcibly, with such intense excitement, that it is no longer diversion, but serious task. Whether theysDlay for p,oney or points or for some trumpery prize which they would not admit to their drawing room except as an evidence of their skill at the game, the result is the same. The strain on their nerves Is expressed by closely drawn brows md an eye eager and watchful for an op- ponent's plays and misplays, while greed and the desire for gain show themselves in ugly lines about the mouth. This descrip- tion applies, of course, to the worst vic tims of tho craze, but tho samo symptoms in more or less modified form arc ap- bearing on the faces of not few of soci- ety's maids and mntrons. = Munsey's Magazine,
