When Aunt Milly returned from her
visit to Boston, she was a changed wo.
man. She had gone away stald old
maid Of thirty-seven, with never bit
of nonsense about her, and she had re-
turned hustrated-that Is, she slmpered
and giggled and acted "glrly." She
took to wearing bows and jewelry, and
she was anxious about her eyebrows
and the mole on her chin. Her sister
Florence, q widow and the head of the
house, noticed these things with some
thing like establishment, but reserved
comment. She argued that they were
the legitimate results Of woman get.
ting away from the sober influences
of her country home and that they
would soon wear Off. Her daughter,
Susie Warden, was the third member
of the household. Susie had been de-
nounced as worldly by the old maid
She had also been charged with CO.
quetry. 1t had even been limited that
she was heartless. All this because she
cared more about her horses than for
the young men who bowed to her good
looks and her future financial pros
poets and because she preferred walk
through the woods with gun In her
hands and dog at her heels 10 sitting
On a rustic bench and flirting with
callow youth.
Susie had never been In love or any
where near It, but Aunt Milly's symp-
toms did not escape or deceive her
She Judged them to be symptoms of
love, and her curiosity was aroused.
What manner of man could have touch
ed this old maids hearth All sorts OF
men might fall in love with girl; but,
according to Susie's reasoning. only
one or two sorts would fall IN love with
an old maid, and especially n homely
one. She thought things over until she
felt In measure responsible for the
aunt who knew nothing of the pitfalls
Of the world, and then she tackled her
one day with
Look here, Aunt Mllly, you are in
love, and want to know all about It,"

ment, but to boldly declare his love In
the face Of everybody and ask for Aunt
Milly's hand. Aunt Florence was In
clined to be neutral, and Susie had
nothing to say. So It came about that
the lovers pledged themselves, and the
marriage day was set for three months
ahead. Susie's seeming Indifference
was annoying to the happy hearted old
maid, who wanted everybody TO rejoice
with her. but the only explanation she
received was:
"Tm doing lot OF thinking just now.
and you wait till get through. and I'll
congratulate you"
She had dim remembrance OF hav.
ing seen photograph OF the professor
before. She cudgeled her, brains for n
week. and she still doubted as she took
the train for New York one morning.
On reaching the city she took cab to
police headquarters, In Mulberry street,
and when finally ushered into the de
tective department she astonlshed the
inspector In charge by asking to look
at the rogues' gallery.

he replied. Here's Professor Mar

who made study OF plant life and

Susie said nothing on her return
home. II was only when the newspa.
pers containing an account of the ar
rest OF the professor arrived by post
that she took Aunt Milly out into the
orchard and handed them to her to
read and asked:

BUILDING OPERATIONS.
Figures Secured from Fifteen of the
Large Cities.

An advance proof of Construction News
showing building operations in fifteen large
cities reads as follows:
Fifteen of the largest cities in the United
States displayed increased activity in their
various building departments for the month
of March, 1902 over the same period last
year. Nine other municipalities exhibit
losses. However, the sum total shows a
gain.
statistics specially compiled for Con-
struction News tells this story: Last month
there were S,4S9 permits issued in the build
ing departments of twenty-four cities.
These improvements called for an expendi-
ture of the sum of $32,3S7, $40 In March,
1901. the operations aggregated 1905 build
ings at a cost of S29. 1876 329-an increase of
SS4 permits for last month over the figures
of a year ago, and of s2,59O,911 in their cost,
or a general gain of per cent.
Reports from the Pacific coast, with the
exception of Seattle, indicate that the
building boom recently started there will
thorities say that numerous ambitious prof.
ects are under way and contemplated. Los
Angeles is maintaining the pace ii set a
year ago and the improvements there are
all of an exceedingly stable nature Seat
ties flop into the lost and found column is
attributable TO a strike.
Word comes from Minneapolis that last
months building record surpassed all pre-
vious marks for period of ten years. New
York easily occupies the premier position in
the table below, with $10.069, 507 to its credit
even if that sum was lower than for March.
1901. Philadelphia has beaten Chicago for
second. honors and the last-named city has
dropped into third place.
Doubtless the figures below would have
exhibited much larger totals were il not
that the scarcity of structural steel and
iron has had a retarding effect upon very
large building projects in all sections of the
country. That coupled with the fact that
the prices on nearly all materials have ad-
vanced considerably, has also initiated
against the starting of numerous buildings
the erection of which may be delayed until
fall.
