Now, Tom had special weakness
for dainty slipper, as she well
knew, and, forgetting for moment
that it was not Tom who sat there,
she looked up in apparent uncon-
sciousness OF any little feminine art,
only to meet an amused smile in the
strangers eyes.
Eyes, most men like to see q pret-
ty clipper, I" he commented benevo-
lently. IA coquettishly placed rib
bon, flower in the hair, are SO
many arrows to the masculine
heart. Little men dream Of the time
and thought that have been given
to what seems to them some uncon-
scious little arrangement
Miss Rossiter flushed angrily and
drew her foot back with a jerk.
Really, this thing of laying bare
ones every little thought was too
much, and yet was it not exactly
what she had wished for-to be per-
fectly understooda
She ought to be above such little
weaknesses anyhow.
Perhaps If she tried books the
conversatit N might become more
animated.
The stranger followed her glance
| as il rested on small table near
her, where several books were lying.
"You have been reading" he re-
| marked. ''Ah, yes, see-Ibsen,
Browning, Tolstoi." He smilsG q
little wearily.
"You. of course, have read them
| all, ;, said Miss Rossiter little shy
ly, for she happened to think that
"boundless knowledge" was one Of
her wished for ideals attributes.
4tIf Oh, yes,'' he answered. You
do not quite know whether you care
for Ibsens or not, do you9',
Now, this was indeed true, but as
the president of an Ibsen club Miss
Rossiter had never before faced the
fact.

rule wildly demonstrative, but upon
this occasion her manner was warm
enough to crafty the most ardent
lover.
She chung to Tom as If he had
just been rescued from some dread
full calamity and she feared to lose
him again, and when he begged her
to tell him what was the matter,
that he didn't understand, she
exclaimed rather hysterically: "Oh,
that is the beauty Of it. I don It want
you to understand, Tom, dear, and
I'm SO glad you don't. don't think
I ever care to be understood again.
It was only dream. and he's gone.
thank goodness, but you can never
know how I suffered
Tom looked deeply puzzled at
these seemingly random and inco-
herent remarks, but at her express
desire forbore questioning her.
Whatever it was she had dreamed,
the effect produced was that he had
had a warmer welcome than ever
before during their engagement,
and he was satisfied.
At the next meeting Of the Ger
man club Miss Rossiter, who few
weeks before had read stirring
paper advancing the theory that
some time on this earth there would
be golden age. when kindred souls
would live in the full delight Of
realized ideals. read an equally stir
ring paper combating and fatty con-
Gadicting her own pet theories.
On the way home from the club
Mrs. Denny, who prided herself on
finding the hidden springs which
produced action in her friends
minds, suddenly remarked:
MAN Rossiter, you have some
reason for so suddenly changing
your mind about those theories of
yours. -

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

n MONO the measures which were expected of / \ Congress at this session providing for the establishment of postal savings banks The Postmaster General recommended the adoption of such plan, and so favorably the recommen- dation received throughout the country that for a
 time there seemed every for the hope that the proposed banks would be provided.
 Secretary Gage, however, has pointed out one ob- ection to the undertaking which under present dtons insuperable This lies in the uncertainty that prevails n the monetary system of the nation. As he says in the establishment of banks by which the Government would be brought into hduciary re- ations with millions of its people, the consideration of first importance is the money standard which is to in the future the value of the savings fund to the depositors.
 Referring to the many bills which have been sub mitted to him, the Secretary responded in recent message to the Senate Committee: "I discover mo- where in any of these bills any agreement or pledge to the form of money in which depositors to be paid" He then proceeded to put the issue in this direct way:
 "If one of the humblest parties to the proposed contract should ask the postmaster agent to whom he should hand his accumulated earnings, good as gold, Will my money, when draw 1t out, be in gold in its fair equivalent? what will you authorize your agent to make? At present he can make specific answer"
 Even the most earnest advocate of postal savings banks must admit that this objection is fatal to the establishment of such banks until the money question has been settled Here, then is another reason why that allimportant issue should be dealt with So long as the value of the money of the nation is subject to the least doubt the changes of poti- cal contests long will many projects of national good have to wait. Monetary reform is imperative Even the stress of war should not be<permitted to force its postponement single day beyond the time necessary to give 1t full consideration before action

TWEEDLEDUM AND TWEEDLEDEE.

HE Westminster Gazette is ever-howng
 fountain whence gushes and bubbles quality oi
 wisdom not to be sneezed at In a recent issue It atlrms that the destruction of the Maine will be treated belli but as warranting outside interference. This country views the two processes sustaining about the same relation to each other that six does half dozen II there is any differ ence between be and state of facts warrant ing interference the interference being certain to provoke war, the distinction is too delicate to be readily grasped.
 Either the destruction of the Maine was deliber- ately planned, the result of treachery such Spain ought to have been the first and keenest in deporing, it accident That the latter is the correct suppostion nobody believes and Spain has not been detected in the act of expressing regrets It became the plain duty of this country interfere It could not do without accusing Spain. If the crime was not casus bel then the accusation cer- tainly was, the same point is reached by either path.
 When the shall be over provided war come it is be hoped the Gazette will find time to explain the difference between tweededum and its tweede- dee and how the presumed to happen without waiting for the essential casus.
