"Quite different from the pair back of

She has touched up literature, music and
art. She has discussed golf She has
pointed out persons in the, audience and
bored the man by trying to direct his at
tention to the right person, and If she
thinks she is entertaining him she is mis-
taken. No doubt he likes her and would
be delighted to enjoy the music and be
content with merely her presence, but like
most foolish girls, she longs for a reputa-
ton for being entertaining
'She is houndering terribly now, and is
reduced to "A joke on the programme If

mates rather enviously, to the New York
Tribune Il was reading the other day
about the elaborate care the Roman wo-
men bestowed upon their persons, and II
reminded me of Stella. Not that she fusses
about herself; she does not prink as we
call II, half so much as l. who have to do
everything myself 1t is her money that

pretty bright brown, but any number of

hers lies in the beautiful care that is be-
slowed upon it. Once week a specialist

he works at 1t. He washes it, puts some
mysterious something into the water that
enhances its brilliancy without changing
its color, perfumes il with ever so slight
an odor of violets and makes 1t naturally
curly by some process of his own. Then
he dresses it in the most becoming man
ner- which her maid has learned to do as
well as the hair specialist
For this she pays $40 a week, but the
consequence Is that her hair is always
exquisitely neat and at the same time per-
feetly natural booking, this, of course, be-
ing the highest art. In the mean time
she sits there, as l say, and cultvates her
mind by reading. No wonder that she
looks so sweet, and unconscious, when she
knows that everything Is in beautiful Or

The Sweetness of Forgivlng.-
And il the husband or the wife
In homes strong light discovers
Such slight defaults as failed to meet
The blinded eyes of lovers.
Why need we care to ask? Who dreams
Without their thorns of roses?
Or wonder that the truest steel
The readiest spark discloses?
For still in mutual sufferance lies
The secret of true living;
Love scarce is love that never knows
The sweetness of forgiving

about 40 years old. accompanied by wo-
man three or four years his junior, walked
IN TO the marriage license office. 1t was
hard to tell which appeared the happier.
The man eagerly asked the marriage Ii
cense clerk if he had found the right office
in which to secure a marriage license.

but that her name was Francika Oberfoell

Then the man told his story. He in the

been idly spent and the hope that some
day he would be joined to the sweetheart
in the fatherland had kept his spirits up.

He was buoyed up by the knowledge that

ton of his hopes did not come until about
SIX months ago. At that time his savings
had amounted to enough to send his
sweetheart money sufficient for a ward
robe and passage across the ocean Then
letters came and the date of her arrival
was fixed at yesterday morning. He came
over to Union station. from Granite City
and waited patiently for the train to ar

disappointed, end, despite the lapse of al

after the first salutations were over they
went to the court house and secured the

were married. Then they went across the
river to Granite City to the little cottage
which he had fitted up for her. 1t is
