Mrs. S. is an old woman who has
always prided herself on her excellent
memory for names. Until recently
her pride was justified, but within
the last year or two her advanced
age has considerably weakened her
pet faculty. Fortunately for her own
peace of mind, she is entirely una
ware of this, and still thinks that
there is no name which she cannot
remember correctly after hearing it
once. Not long ago there came to
live at the house in which she boards
a man who rejoiced in the rather
unusual surname of Michigan. When
he was introduced to Mrs. S. she was
quite impressed by the popularity OF
the name, and remarked afterward
to one of the other boarders that
even a person with a very poor MEM
DRY ought to be able to recall it. The
next morning when she came down to
breakfast, there sat the new boarder
with the geographical name. Now
was Mrs. SIS chance. Smiling in Sc
rene confidence, she waited until he.
looked up, and then said in a cheer
fully distinct tone, Good morning,
Mr.. Chicagoi"-N. Y. Tribune.

FASHION,.
KANSAS

This Fashions a whimsical sort of a
sprite;
Her ways. confess, are too much for
me, quite!
Lavinia, sixty years ago,
Was dressed in the height of style, you
know,
The pride of her fond relations;
Yet Mabel smiles at the quaint little miss,
With her frock like that, and her shoes
like this,
AS some at Mabel will smile, wis,
When the dress that to-day she is proud
to wear
Belongs with the hoops and the pow
dered hair
And the patches of past generations!
But this is the question that puzzles me-;
The roses frock is the same, I see,
With the trimming of dew upon it,
That roses wore in Lavinia's day;
And the tulips petticoat, striped and
gray,
Is made in the same old-fashioned way;
And never change, for a hundred years,
In the cut of the marigo1d's gown ap-
pears,
Or the shape of the sweet peas bon
net!
Yet nobody says that the flowers look
queer.
Pray can you explain to me why, my
dear?
