CLARIssA OPENED ONE AFTER ANOTHER

While walking towards the Roberts
cottage his heart warmed toward Clar-
issa, and in spite of her rebuff he made
several resolutions.
As he neared the house he saw a
pretty little domestic picture. for
Clarissa with colony of kittens in her
lap and their mother at her feet, was
enjoying it, unconscious of an audi
ence.
Mr.. Spencer felt guilty. but he could
not help gazing at he tableau before
knocking. Mrs. Roberts admitted him,
trifle' cooily, he thought. and CLAIR
issas manner was even more frigid
than her note had been.
He forgot all about the ECKER
cises.' but Immediately launched in
to the subject so near his heart.
Miss Roberts, you will pardon me,
but | could not understand your note.
and ! am sure there is some mistake"
The tones were calm and courte-
Gus, so Clarissa controlled her emo
ton and said: after your letter. Mr..
Spencer, | think it is not necessary
for me to explain"
MY letter." said he in amazemeut
"Yes. your letter." responded Claris-
sa coolly. lin your handwriting and
signed Valentine"
Miss Roberts, allow me to say that
have not written you a word except
ing the message | inclosed with the
flowers"
But / received letter." stam-
mered Clarissa, "and it certainly looks
like your writing
May l see it, please?" asked Mr..
Spencer.
Clarissa produced it somewhat re.
luctantly, and the former assured her
that he was the victim of a practical
joke.
The poor girl covered her face and
cried: ''Who could be so cruel?"
Then it was Mr.. Spencer's turn to
play comforter.
DO you feel so very badly. Miss
Roberts?' said he Part of the note
at least is true. in regard to my feel
ing toward you; but it seems some
one has got ahead of me, and paved
the wa; roughly"
It is needless TO go into details. The
tangle adjusted itself easily and Mr..
Spencer and Clarissa arranged matters
very satisfactorily; so much so that
when another Valentine day came
they were married, thanks to Tins
inimitable copying As no one ever
scoIded the incorrigible boy. he
thought the joke was too tame and
therefore was dsgusted with himself.
1t is needless to say that Prof. Spen-
Ger and Clarissa never took the trou-
bic to correct him.-Louse E. Dew, in

The women of several different prov
inces will present their queen with ma
tional costumes. That of Fresland, the
the gift of 5000 women, is described as
quaint, if not strictly graceful, with its
amplitude of drapery and silver hair
ornaments. The gold and silver orna-
ments for the queens headdress are
preserved among the crown jewels as
the property of the nation.
No ruler in the world attends more
strictly to her duties than Queen Will
helmina. She is busy every day with
the matters which her ministers lay
before her and with the affairs of her
court She has said of herself that she
never plays. but always works. Those
concerns which we might rashly con-
slider to be her pleasures-her recep-
tions and state banquets-are, in fact,
her most irksome duties. During the
season" she is bound to notice, with
exactly equal attention, each one of
the 400 OF 500 persons of the court.
the order in which she pays them, and
she has punctiliously to acquit herself
of the whole duty down to the properly
timed and measured chat with the last
diplomat and his wife before the close
of the last levee.
The young queen is not beautiful
but very good to look upon-whole-
some and frank. with pleasant smile
for everyone. She has blue eyes, a clear
complexion. a Grecian nose; her fore
head is broad and rather high and her
teeth are large, white and even; her
blond hair, which is slightly wavy, is
brushed back to show the orange ear"
She has a well-shaped head and a slen-
der, graceful figure, with a queenly
bearing.
Her education having been conducted
in the most conservative Dutch fash
ion, it follows that she is thoroughly
versed in domestic science. knowing
how to cook and sew; she embroiders
beautifully.

VALENTINE

w men at ScnOOl we iedTItu ~ dou
We our first wee sweetheart had,
AS you know.
o, she was an angel fair
From the skies,
With glory in her hair
And her eyes;
How our little hearts would beat
When she smiled on us 50 sweet,
How our blushNs when we'd meet
Would arise.
To that gentle maid divine
We one day
Sent a tiny valentine
Made to say:
Roses red and yiolets blue.
Sugar is sweet and so are you.
If your love like mine Is true
No knife can cut our love in two,
| am thine"
Since those happy days of curls,
Long ago,
We have loved some other girls.
As you know
But those other girls combined
Never charmed our heart and mind
AS that first wee sweetheart shrined-
That is SO.
To those other girls we've sent
Valentines
Costing dollars gladly spent.
And the lines,
Written by some poet great,
All We're strictly up to date,
And artistic and ornate
In designs.
But those costly gems Of art,
Decked with gold.
Never thrilled a tender heart
Like the old
Little penny thing we laid
At our sweethearts door afraid
Lest the secret thus conveyed
Should be told.
