Both young people were masked at
the society function Monday evening

Romeo accepted the dare instantly,

were married and returned and were
forgiven.
Both the young people stand high in
Homestead society and their parents

lief that the young people were en-
gagged before and squelch the true
story. The young people however, are
happy in their chance marriage and
candidly acknowledge it. The young
couple held an impromptu reception
at the home of the bride and almost 300
young people gathered to hear the

"Chinese humorous literature, says
the New York Tribune, abounds with
reference to henpecked husbands. ="
said Professor Herbert Allen Giles,
of the University of Cambridge. in
the closing lecture of his course at
Columbia University. Then he went
on to tell a sample story culled from
this branch OF Chinese literature.
Ten henpecked husbands resolved
to form a society to resist the i'm
positions of their wives" he said.
THE ten wives heard of the plan, and

ladies, merely smiling contemptuous-

success of their raid. The nine hus-
bands thereupon returned and re-
solved to make the heroic tenth the
president of the society. When they
went, however, to inform him of the
honor il was found that he had died
of fright.

past week, says Nine. Armitage, from
women who have double chins. Some
of my correspondents say that they are
not corpulent and that they cannot
account for the extra flesh.
Every woman loves a shapely, white
