WOEFUL DAYS FOR CUPID.
Now Girl Has to Get Married Merely
to Have the Right TO lie
Anxious.

The war preparations are having an
important effect on weddings in which
naval officers are interested, and every
day develops fresh surprises. Where
not even engagements were suspected,
otf-hand weddings occur. Dressmak-
ers are groaning over countermanded
trousseau orders; and caterers, florists
and bridesmaids are playing a losing
game.
Preparations for one elaborate we'd
ding were necessarily stopped when all
six of the ushers and the best man were
ordered off to Key West. Two days
later the prospective bridegroom also
received sailing orders. He hunted up
the officer in comand and asked for
shore leave.
you were off yesterday" replied that
officer.
Yes, sir; but 1 want to get married
this afternoon" And he did.
why in the world didn't you wait
and have the swell wedding you had
planned?' a friend asked the bride
after her husbands ship had sailed.
The bride looked woe-begone.
Nobody can tell whether" she be-
gan in wabbly little voice. Then she
bit her lip and tried to cheer up. well,
If l were just engaged to Dick, I'd have
TO sit still and wait for someone to men
ton what his ship was doing; and If
| acted very much upset, people would
be shocked, and call it bad taste. But
mans wife has a right to be anxious
about him, and cry over him, and keep
track of him-and go to him if he needs
her. L wasn't marrying Dick for the
sake of having six bridesmaids and a
wedding supper. He came down and
said he had to go the next day; so we
just took papa and mamma around to
the parsonage and were married, and
Dick went back to his ship. He says
We'll whip the Spaniards in a run,
b-b-but l wish an earthquake would
s-swallow Spain before the war could
b-b-begin."
Then it was lucky she had a right ia
cry.-N. Y. Sun.

signed by a name very dear to me-Flor-
ence Morley.
/ would willingly have gone to tho
antipodes to please the lovely young
woman, and my disappointment was
keen when l thought of the time lock
having been set to open at half-past
eight the following morning. For Fair
lawn was country seat of Mr.. Nor
ley's, about 30 miles distant, and |
should not be able to return until near
ly ten o'clock in the morning, and the
combination lock would be unprotected
full hour before the arrival of any
of the employees. 1t was highly inn
probable that any thief expert enough
to open the combination would attempt
the lock, even if it were known that the
time mechanism had run down. The
risk would be very slight, and was
tempted to take it. But, knowing, even
though no consequences should be the
result, that by doing so 1 would break
very stringent rule, l resisted the
temptation, and in no very good humor
started for telegraph Office for the
purpose of sending a dispatch to Miss
Morley stating my inability to accept
her invitation.

THE DRAWING OF TEA.
A simple Process That Is Not Proper"
~ Understood by Every
Housewife.

In spite of much discussion and much
practice in the drawing Of tea, the en-
tire process still seems to be mooted
question with many housekeepers.
There are fewer persons who boil tea
now than there were about 20 years ago,
when the crusade against boiled tea
and tannic acid began. There are still,
however, great many cooks to-day
who allow tea to boil and excuse them
selves on the plea that while green tea
can be drawn without boiling black tea
needs few monents' boiling.
While upon this subject let ii be
stated now plainly that there is no va
riety OF tea that is not injured by boil
ing. Black tea dues not require boiling
any more than Japan tea or green tea.
IL is essential TO the preparation of a
good cup of tea that the water used be
fresh water, which has been brought to
the boiling point and boiled for only
two minutes. That is, the water has
been heated TO the point where it bub-
bles i'm the center of the kettle for at
least this time. Water in kettle that
merely steams at the spont is not al
ways boiling. Moderately soft water
is better for tea than hard water. Eng
lish breakfast tea, oolong or ordinary
black tea, young hyson or green tea, and
japanese tea are all made about the
same way and used in the same guam
tity. Allow n teaspoonful of tea to each
cup of water used. Put tile tea in pot
that is perfectly dry and hot. The tea.
pot should be made of earthenware and
not of metal, not even of silver. AS de.
| licious tea as ever was made is brewed
in those old-fashioned brown teapots,
still decorated, as they were in our
relief of "Rebecca at the Well" These
teapots are thicker, and for that reason
better than the lighter ones of shining
brown ware that TO some extent super
seded them in the shops. There are a
great many excellent oriental teapots
now sold in china shops. The cheapest
and most picturesque of these are made
of the same stoneware as the familiar
ginger jar, and are decorated in the
same manner. There are great many
expensive brands of tea now in the
market, which are much stronger than
the ordinary brands mentioned, and
| must be used in similar quantities
They depend for their superior strength
on the manner in which they are han
died and prepared for market. There is
only one spcies of the tea plant, of which
there are only three varieties known

I'm sorry, SIR" said the polite young
guest, "but haven't another room in

this till morning I'll fix you up right for
tomorrow" But the inducement, per-
suasivly delivered, failed TO work, and
the grum-looling man went away.
When he had got over the threshold
the suave clerk smiled pensive smile
and said: you can't do anything with
these fellows. 1t beats the world how
a man will let his prejudices drive him
out into the night to seek inferior ac-
commodations. And yet this man
looked like he knew better, too"
What was it dissatisfied him?"
Nothing in the world except that in

folding bed You see we are crowded
now and there are but few vacant
apartments. He is a crank on the sub
ject ofs folding beds because in modern
times two or three human beings have
been caught in them, when they folded
up inopportunely, and had their lives
crushed out. pleaded with him that
no such disaster could happen TO him

l finally succeeded in getting rid of
them. Old Jake was eager and anxious
to be off, but Sarah hung back, reluctant
to leave me to the lonely terrors which
her superstitious mind had conjured up.

Feeling profoundly gratified that my
coming here had revealed to me such
absolute trust and love as inspired my
old nurse, placed my arm about her
waist while going to the door, and then
parted from her with a kiss on her
wrinkled old cheek.
After the sound of the wagon wheels
had died away in the distance, disrobed
and prepared for bed. The moonlight
was SO enticing, however, that 1 sat
down on chair by the window and for
few minutes gave myself up to remin-
iscent thought
But before i go on with my expert
ences in the old house, must tell about
the bank robbery of which l was sus-
pected.
Up to year before, l had been en-
ployed in a large savings institution in
Philadelphia. My advancement with
this concern had been slow but steady,
and after ten years of earnest work /
finally attained the position of senior
paying teller. Under my immediate
charge was the vault, in which the cash
and all securities held by the bank were
kept. This vault was, of course, guard
ed by time lock. Thetbank opened for
business at ten o'clock, but the book
keepers began their work a half hour
earlier. There was separate vault for
the books of the concern, which was not
furnished with a time lock, and all the
bookkeepers knew the combination of
this vault.
The bank was noted for its conserva-
tive business methods, and the great
cautiousness with which its funds were
guarded 1t was the established rule
that the timepiece of the money vault
should not be set to open until half
past nine, at which time the bookkeep-
ers and most of the employees were at
work. In short, so careful were the
officials that under no circumstances
was it allowable to leave the combina-
ton lock unguarded by the clockwork,
unless some responsible employe was
present.
One afternoon / set the clockwork
mechanism to throw the bolt at half
past eight, an hour before the usual
time, as intended to get to work the
next morning at that time. The semi
annual examination of the books and
securities by the trustees was to take
place, and wished to have the moneys
under my charge in order.
When l left the bank that afternoon
/ found telegram awaiting me at my
lodging place:
Come out to Fairlawn this evening.
We entertain a small party. / want
