it is only in the South that we girls
save our carmel money, and absolutely
starve for sweets that we mny buy
violets to lay at tho feet Of the one
good actor in the world"
Both the girls eagerly asked, "Sir
Henry lrringI" The baltimore girl
looked as indignant as IL ahe had been
accused Of siding with the Spapiards az
she said, =" Certainly not Mr.. Sothorn.
just then the curtain dropped for
gooh, and the girls went out to drink
SOFIA water. and | pundered over the
intricacies of the feminine mind and
felt that there was certain healthful.
ness in this admiration Of this actor.
because, after nll. with real nice
girl it Ia the actor and not the man
Jhat sho admirers.
BY the bye, it was announced early
in ths autumn that the fashionable
card was no longer ia be engraved with
the written script that has so long
marked that which waa coTroGt, but
that block letters would be used. Now,
somebody who pretended TO know told
that this silly fad was copied fran the
English, but the English people would

on the other side is only by the army
and navy people. do you romBmher
when a few social snohs proclaimed
their Ignorance by putting cockades on
their coachnen and fOotmen? Our
English cousins laughed until they
ached when they saw them. The cock
ade eau he properly worn only nh the
hats OF the cOachmen and footmen OF
thoss who hold the mmigsion of the
| crown--that is to say, the army, navy,
house of peers and at ore time the
clorgy OF the established church. II
you have ever given q thought to IT,,
| you will notice tho cochade belonging
| to a councilman Of an admiral in the
navy ia little different in shape and IL
worn slightly lower than that OF any
other, but, as usual, on the left side.
/ England ia the only country in the
world whore the cocakds has an official

For instance. you think girl who
knows how to make Jelly cake ana cara

doubt IT, for there is difference be
tween caramols and mutton and cakt
and roast beef.
For instance, you don't blame a cir

ing it on her head at the theatre.
disagree with you. think abs uugh
to have q properly arranged coiffur,
and tie q lace scarf over it, which cal

For instance. you think because 81
many women have been rude to you
that you wont offer your seat in thu ca

you. / think you are a kind hearteI
fellow, and il got in and swung on

For instance, you think you ara cyni

very bitter and that you believe i
nothing. disagree with you. ! thin
that at heart you are as sweet and tru
as the average American man is an
that your cynicism il all on the surfac
and you will accept all truths wort
