was one of the most charming person
alities at the court of Victoria, and the
beloved queen, then herself young and
full of joy and strength, was inspired
with a warm affection for Miss Lane
and accorded her the privilege of as
Stunning the rank and receiving the
honor that the American minister
wife would have had if there had been
a wife.
The quickly perceiving girl learned
therefore to be at home in all courtly
social grace and ceremonial. When she
became mistress of the White House,
the life there was naturally modelled
more or less on court and society GUS
toms in the old world and suffered no
loss thereby. The years of this gra-
cious, stately lady in the White House
were marked by a social regime more
ceremonious than any since the days of
President Washington. Since then we
have become democratic again, too
democratic for the comfort and con-
venience of the lady of the White
House, because there are now so many
of US. While it is quite the right thing
for one or two republican citizens, even
toilers who are of the humbles to in
wade the executive mansion and shake

that they might acquire a becoming
coat of tan. They gathered the latest
and choicest of the fruits that lin
gered still in the farm orchards.
They wore out and tore out all their
two-year-old shirt waists that they
might be able to throw them away
with a clear conscience and get new
ones next summer. Thus they were
considerably to the good in both pride
and pocket. Miss Loppy waxed two
pounds heavier and Miss Shadows
two pounds lighter in weight, which
was a source of genuine satisfaction
to each.
Pleasant and economical as this
recreation season was, however, it
had to end when the approach of cold
weather drove the shivers down their
backs in the old barn of a farmhouse
that had no furnace. no bathroom, no
hot water supply. They vowed they
would not live in the country for any
thing and turned their faces again to
Seaport. There they bought each a
new handbag and a dress suit case.

no man likes to think that, perhaps
even after marriage his wife will find
her pleasure and amusement in other

Flirting once INDUCED in and cu1ti-

she cares for him just to amuse herself
and crafty her love of admiration and

Flirting destroys the sacredness of

ought to be a sacred treasure.

some of our presidents, the sorrowful
scenes that attended the going out or
others, left for those who remain and
remember a Swallowed life that could
give little heed to gayety or publicity.

ISIS LOPPY and Miss shad-
M dows adopted the fashiona BILE
fad of taking a recreation trip
in the autumn. 1t is the correct
thing now. Common people and wo-
men who work for their living make
Journeys in the summer.
Miss Loppy was very thin, and Miss
Shadows was very stout. If they
could have evened up the matter,
both would have been of just the
right proportions for beauty, but as
they could not they had to take each
other as married folk do-for better
or for worse. In the shelf hunks Of
sleeping car Miss Loppy got the
worst of it, for Miss Shadows took
three-fourths of the space. At the
restaurants, where, lady fashion, they
ordered one portion for two, Miss
Shadows got the worst of it, for Miss
Loppy, after the manner of thin peo-
pie, ate the lions share of the food.
Thus perhaps they were not SO IN
equally yoked after all.
The ladies dropped one or two mys-
FERROUS hints to Miss Tellitall that
they might go abroad" A word to
the wise was sufficient. Next day The
Daily Elevator announced in it's So
eiety column that Miss Loppy and
Miss Shadows were going to London
and would also take a run over to
Paris They babe their friends good
by and boarded a train for the great
city of Seaport. There they switched
off, as it were. They took a little
huckleberry railway to Jayville. At
Jayville a farmers wagon met them
and conveyed them nine miles over a
