Particularly polite and gallant was
the young man who was sauntsring
down Witherell street one day not long
ago. when the sidewalks were covered
with slush and the bitches were flood
ed to the top OF the curb. He wore a
pink carnation In his coat lapel; his
trousers were definitely creased; his
shoes had lately been polished, al
though the wealth of slush on the
walks had dimmed their brilliancy. He
was approaching a crossing. Just
ahead OF him young woman was
wheeling a baby carriage in the same
direction. The gutter was more than
ankle deep with ice cold water. The
young woman hesitated. To the res
cue came the young man. Cant as
sist your" he asked. Thank you so
much" was the reply, so appreciative
in its tone that the young man boldly
stepped into the watery ditch and fer
ried the lady across. Then he picked
up the carriage and carried it over.
There" he said. as he sat it down,
II guess l haven't wakened it." He
said ut" because he didn't know
whether there was a girl or boy under
the shawl. ooh, it isn't a baby" vol
unteered the young lady. 81 was down

to get the groceries home, you know"

Willing away an evening when a few
friends are met together. Here is the
recipe for one: Each guest was given a
card. Fastened to the card with rib
bons was a cent with hole In 1t. and
a pencil. At the top of the cards, In
fancy letters, was painted, "A penny
for your thoughts" Underneath this
were the names of fifteen objects which
can be found on a cent. The guest
who properly filed his card received
a prize of a cent dipped in gold for a
ystch charm. The ladies' prize was q
hatpin on che same order. The fol-
lowing are the articles to be searched
for on the cent: l. An animal, hare. 3.

Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
