Gwendolen and DR.. Simmons seemed

Here was golf-player who wouldn't
talk about golf. 1t was most alarm

There was only one encouraging
symptom. and he was a young doctor
who used to call-well, quite often.
She had met him on the links, so we
gathered. and certainly the two talked
about golf whenever they met-so far

My son Bobby was at first scornfully
superior to the attractions of the new
game. He used to cough in a highly
artificial way when DR.. Simmons and
Gwendolen were exchanging views
about boyle and puttees, and bunkers,
and lofters, and would try to engage
me in vigorous discussion as to the
charms of iackstones, old maid, mug

A Ourer Decisinn

A New Jersey court has recently de-
cided that a parent whose child had
been killed by the negligence of Il
street car company could not recover
damages from the company because
the child was not able to render any
pecuniary assistance and in fact was
an expense to the parents.
The Age OF Steel suggests that the
logic of the situation. should have in
duced the court to return verdict in
favor of the street car company for
relieving the parent of further expense.

JUST A CURTAIN FIRE.
II Was In Girls BOARDING school
and Did Complicated Damage.

1t Was In Girls Boarding school
and Did Complicated Damage.
A fire in a skyscraper may be thrill
ing, but for dramatic episodes and un-
expected complications a fire in a girls
boarding school srrpasses it. The board
ing school fire is usually what is known
among insurance men as curtain fire.
but curtain fire in n girls school is
more exciting and causes more casual
ties than an ordinary blaze anywhere
else.
One evening last week two girls, who
occupy microscopic hall bedroom in a
swell up town school, took the globes
off the gas fixtures for hair curling pur
poses and left them off, because it was
easier to do that than to put them on
again. Then the girls raised 20. window
a trihe in order to cool the room and
dutifully sat down to write home let
tiers. The inevitable happened, and
when girl number one poised her pen
in the air and glanced around the room
in search of inspiration she saw the
curtains in q blaze She screamed. Girl
number two looked around and echoed
the scream. Then, with promptitude
and discretion, both girls tainted. The
screams had attracted the attention of
the other girls, who rushed to the scene
and then did various and sundry stunts,
according to their several dispositions,
One tainted, several wept, few ran

When he arrived, things looked rather
hopeless. Curtains and woodwork were

with prostrate forms, and when three

his way across the prostrate forms and
ordered all the girls who were not in a
dead faint to leave the room, but they
didn't go until he lost his. temper and
spoke with force which isn't common
in boarding school circles Then they
fed; but, unluckily, there was an enc

cal woman from Texas had been inspir
ed to go after some water. Returning
in mad haste with large pitcherful
of water borne triumphantly aloft, she
collided with the re1 eating forces at
the door. The pitcher struck the leader
of the retreat squarely in the face and
knocked out two of her front teeth,
whereupon the injured girl made the
fainting trio quartet and the water
carrier dropped her pitcher and went
into violent Mysteries.
Hysteria, as boarding school teachers
know to their sorrow, is contagious,
and the one case touched off the crowd.
BY the time teachers arrived upon the
scene the fire was out, but the survivors
We're in bad way. 1t was necessary to
put nine-tenths of the school to bed and
