Stories Here and There.

Were moving into apartments that were occupied by two young women last year." said man yesterday. "I mention it because think probably an account of some of the things we found in the closets may interest you. There were 132 empty olive bottles. They were good size bottles, and as this would allow something over two bottles a week for the year, 1t Is plain to be seen that the young housekeepers did not want for these delicacies.
 There were besides fifty bottles that had held pickles. I did not count the sardine boxes, there were too many of them, but there were seventy-two cheese jars and forty-five cracker tins. Sounds like fable, doesn't 1t?
 After this peep into the secrets of their supplies, I was anxious to see the young women themselves but never did. un- 1 derstood from the janitor, however. that l they were both hearty and robust and 1 that they had not In twelve months had

 1 A young woman who strove to send to 1 her husband while she was away this summer daily journal of events, says her effort had most discouraging results.
 Either he read her diary very cursorily or he didn't read it at all If, for instance,
 she mentioned that she had gone driving on Saturday afternoon with Marian. he to %0 hoo o,E cly what she meant by going driving on Sun day with married man. And If she gave an account of the most innocent of pie mics, he responded with the astounding information that he didn't approve of
 polemics for her.
 When she mentioned that she had been
 reading Mrs. Voynicl1's new book, he
 wrote back to know who Jack Raymond
 was, anyway, and advised her to look into his antecedents closely before she | permitted herself to like him. Altogether | 1t was very discouraglng to the woman
 who had taken so much pains to keep her liege lord informed of her movements. and sne's thinking of buying a. typewriter. If her husband read hnr epist1es as he does business ones, the woman says, she's not surprised that he didn't master their contents, for Q nasty glance at body and signature Is all he couchsafes the for | mer. She had thought hers would be | deemed of more importance. but obvious | ly they were not And so she's disap- | pointed and is amenting the indifference 1 of man.
 A London novelty said to have created
 a great sensation there during the sea-
 son was the summer livery of many coachmen and footmen of the smartes.
 families The livery consisted of white
 linen, with collars cuffs and facngs in
 black. The straw Homburg hats worn
 this summer by many coachmen on this
 side of the Atlantic as well as in Lon
 don, of course, capped the costume. Ap-
 ropos the Homburg hat for coachmen, London hasn't altogether taken kindly to l them One authority declares, They | give such a laisser ailer holiday making air as Is not desirable either in coach 1 men or footmen. The authority goes on | to suggest that high hats made either | of black or white straw would be better | for midsummer livery than the go-as-you- | please Homburg.
