night.
1t is said that Lady Cecil's social
career abroad has not been successful.
Perhaps that is the reason that Lord
and Lady Cecil are returning to Dem
yer to be plain Mr.. and Mrs. Moon.
The household effects. horses and
dogs are in Chicago and will reach
here tomorrow.
TOUJOURS L'AMOUR-
Prithee tell me. dimple chin.
At what age doth love begin?
Your blue eyes have scarcely seen
Summers three. my fairy queen,
But a miracle of sweets,
Soft approaches, sly retreats,
Show the little archer there,
Hidden in your pretty hair:
When didst learn a heart to win?
Prithee tell me, dimple chinl
oh" the rosy lips reply,
Il can't tell you If I try.
IT'S so long I can't remember;
Ask some younger lass than l."
Tell, o tell me, grizzled face.
Do your heart and head keep pace?
When does the hoary love exoire,
When do frosts put out the fire?
Can its embers burn below
All that chill December snow?
Care you still soft hands to press,
Bonnie heads TO smooth and bless?
When does love give up the chase?
Tell, o tell me, grizzled face!
All" the wise old lips rep!y,
Youth may pass and strength hay
But of love can't foretoken;
Ask some older sage than u"
Edmund Clarence Stsdman.
A few years ago a well-known teach
er, who had founded and carried on for
many years a successful school for
girls in one of the middle states, de-
cided to retire. She looked about Tor
a successor.
Many candidates were brought to her
notice. The place was an important
one. The emoluments were large. no
school stood higher in the esteem Of
the public, and Mrs. Blank was anx-
ious to find just the right woman for
the position, says the Youths Compan-
ion.
At last. woman offered to take the
school. who, apparently. had every
qualification to carry it on with dis
tinction. She was one of the most
learned women in the country, she
,,
witty and wise in them all. and she
had long and successful record as
an educator.
But Mrs. Blank. after a brief inter-
view. declined to consider her az
candidate, and also refused 10 make
known at the time her reason for his
decision. Years afterward she said
to a friend:
There was no doubt as to her schol-
or n, H., H,.. .I,f
gloves were soiled and one shoe had
lost half of the buttons. TriAas, YOU
think? But they betray qualities which
made her unfit to be the guide OF young
girls. The woman, whatever her abjl-
ity, who does not respect herself
enough to be clean and neat will never
command the respect of others"
The applicant never knew that her
slcvenly glove and gaping sh1e cos. her
a position of ease and honor for life.
A place of trust with a large salary
was open to women in one of the pub
lie departments in Washington sevc, al
years ago. One candidate brought he
highest recommendations, but was dis
missed promptly by the COM nittee who
had the power of appointment. she
was glaringly dressed in The extreme
of the fashion, with glittering levels
and nodding plumes.
1--WE want a working woman, not "A
cockatoo." said the chairman, after the
absurdly -dressed candidate had re-
tired.
Nothing shows sense or oiscretion
more accurately in man or woman
than the way in when they dress. If
they attach just the correct Importance
to their coats and gowns the,r are like
ly also to estimate The other factors of
life at their just values.
Some folks have a way of declar-
ing that the first year of married life
is the most trying" writes Edward
Box in the October Ladies' Home Jour
nal "But where ole gets Il close

viction is brought home that the try

should fix it rather at the third year,
when the pretty trousseau is showing
wear and needs replenishing; when
the wedding presents have lost their
luster, and this thing has worn out and
that thing has to be replaced; when a
little family is growing up and doctors
bills are introduced into the family
reckoning. That is the trying period
when interests are apt to become very
close. Likewise calculations. Then IL
is that the saving of the comparatively
care-free and less expensive first year
OF married lie comes in handy. or is
sadly missed if the income was then

foolish entertaining. A great deal of
happiness in this world is wrecked by
debt, and generally the debt could have
been avoided if little more care and
common sense had been exercised"
One of the worst misfortunes, says
Woman's Companion, which can
possibly happen to a growing child is
to have a mother who is perpetually
tormented by nervous fears. The doc
trine of mental suggestion, whatever
may be its extremes. is certainly true
to the extent that thought waves Gre

she will inevitably make the environ

dread and timidity. Marshall SAKE,
one OF the most distinguished COM
manders in history, led battalions
