SHE sTAlD AT HOME.

And Was Rewarded Amply for 1t.
Two of them had evidently just re-
turned from a summer outing and they
made no particular effort to conceal
the fact. They greeted the third girl
with little screams of surprise and de-
light.
why, how well you look after being
,cooped up in town all summer!" cried
the girl with the sunburned nose.
"Do@tell III how the city looks in
JULY" futtered the girl in the duck
suit. f
II am we'll. 1t looks just like it al
ways does in JULY haven't minded

away look in her eyes.
You poor, brave DEAR" cooed the
girl with the sunburned nose; Il sup
pose you've decided to live for others,
like the broken-hearted people ia tho
novels"
Well, no. L" =

Jack treated you," broke in the girl in
the duck suit; II told him so when he
ran down in July-made him take me
driving on purpose"
But, really"
so, ycs! 1 know what you r going
to say. Jack told me the same story
about your flirting so with Dick that
it caused the quarrel; but 1 just told
him that you were generous enough to
take all the blame I vas not silly
enough to be deceived by it."

Eyes. and I just told all the girls
how shockingly he had treated you,
and they must have snubbed him for
it, because he avoided them all the
time he was there. He really seemed
so lonely and downcast that 1 felt sorry
for him after all and asked him to GO
sailing once or twice, but he always re
fused. I'suppose he was ashamed"
But, girls, it was all my fault. I did
firt awfully with Dick, and then We
quarreled and 1 broke. it off, and
20! yes, that's just like you, to take
his part, after all when-"
You ought to have more spirit; ev

Miss Mats0n's Own Arm.
"A small wrist and q large arm do
not necessarily suggest perfection, for
it may be. that the wrist will be too
small for the balance of the arm, and
thus appear altogether inadequate to
sustain the strain that comes on 1t.
An appearance of weakness is as bad
as m appearance of grossness, so fur
as the artistic result is concerned. Such
an arm might be compared to the deli
cate. furniture. popular to some extent
where the supports Of the chairs and
sofas are too frail to hold the weight
they will be subjected to. My own
wrist is six inches in circumference,
my forearm, just below the elbow, ten
inches, and the arm just above the
elbow is thirteen inches. That, / have
been told, is the correct proportion.

sess it, she should never permit it to
become apparent. A. shapely shoulder
is where it slopes quickly from the
throat to the arm, not the slope that
is called coffin shape, but the happy me
dunn between that and the squareness
of the man. The English shoulder is
not objectionably square, but it is terri
bly, sparse Of flesh; the small bones of
the throat and the larger bones Of the
shoulder blade are SO glaringly in evil
dence as to rob the display of attrac-
ton.
The shoulder Of the French woman
is a trife too square, and that Of the
German just Il little too stocky. The
superiority Of the American in this re-
spect I'll be studied by any n in the

The committee on invitation of the
Dewey celebration have received word
from the Admiral that his wife will ac-
company him on his visit to this city.
One Of his aides will also be in the
party, and as far as is known now. the
distinguished people will arrive here on
the evening of the 21st. Admiral Dew
ey has written the local committee to
this effect.
Lieutenant Doddridge will also be
granted a leave OF absence and will re-
ceive the fine sword purchased by the
people of Wheeling personally. Let
tiers have been received from Senator
S. B .Elkins to the effect that Lieut..
Doddridge viii not be assigned other
duty than that at Norfolk. Va, until
after the Dewey reception in this city.
The local committee have been offered
the use of the private car of President

accepted. Chairman Garvin is now

addresses of leading officials Of organi-
