she would have to fix up a few Jules Yernes for the Old Lady in the Watch Tower. Mother knew that 1t didn't take 1 Hours to be measured for a Shirt Waist.
 Wait until I get Married" Florine would say. I'll make that 20-hour Flyer look like a Steam Roller. If Mother doesn't let up on me, I'll learn to make Cigar ettes."
 At times she was so Desperate that she was ready to join a Troupe or elope with Drummer. She wanted to get out among the Bright Lights and hear the Band play. And she knew that she couldn't turn Flip-Flops and break Furniture and play Rag-Time along after Midnight until she had become a Respectable Married Woman. So she had her Distress Signal out and used to drop very Broad Hints when she was chat tnig with the Lads who happened to be in the Soda-Water Resort when she dropped in. They liked Florine for Keeps, but when one of them thought of clinehing with old Eagle-Eye, the Family Sleuth, he weakened.
 Protocol Carried Out.
 Florine would have remained a Dead Card if she had not gone on Visit to a neighboring City, where she bumped into the Town Trifier. He had a Way of propos- ing to every Girl the first time he met her. It always seemed to him such a cordial Send-Off for a bud ding Friendship. Usually the Girl asked for Time and then the two of them would Fiddle around and Fuss and Make Up and finally send back all the letters and that would be the Finish. Florine fooled the foxy Philander. The Moment he came out with the Marriage Talk she took firm Hold and said, You're on. Get your License tomorrow morning. Then cut all the Telegraph Wires and burn the Railroad Bridges"
 They were Married and, strange as it may appear, Mother imme- diately resigned her Job as Police man and said: Thank goodness, I've got you Married Off! Now you can do as you please"
 When Florine found that she could do as she pleased she dis covered that there wasn't very much of anything to do except Settle Down. After about seven Chafing-Dish Parties she expanded her whole Stock of pent-up Ginger and now she is just as Quiet as the rest of us.
 MORAL: Any System is O. K. if it finally Works Out.

Window, eOh, MT. Gilblitz, have had a most charming Evening, and I wish to thank you most heart ily."
 Whereupon the Escort, standing 8 Feet away, with his Concertina Hat in his Hand and the Face in the Moonlight beaming with child like Innocence, would come back thusly, Its awfully good of you to say that, Good Night"
 After which, Mother was sup posed to believe that they had been 8 feet apart all Evening. But Mother was Canny and up to Snuff, with Memory that reached back at least 25 Years. These lit- tie One-Act Plays under the Win dow did not throw her off for any part of Minute. Before Florine turned in she was Cross Examined and required to tell with whom she had danced and why and how often and what was said. Occasionally the Daughter worked the Mental Reservation. In other words, she held out on Mother. She said that she had sat out most of the Num- bers, but she admitted going through Square Dance with the Young Man who passed the Plate at the Episcopal Church.
 At which Mother would wink the of Eye and murmur, ''Is that so?" with the Loud Pedal on the That" Also something about be- ing more than Seven.
 One of Florine's Ancestors on Mothers Side happened to be on Earth during the Revolution and Father often spoke of a Second Cousin who had been in Congress until the District tumbled to him.

NCE there was a 1ull- 1" sized Girl named Florine, N U whose Folks kept close
 Tab on her. Any night blooming Harold who presumed to keep the Parlor open after Mid night heard low Voices in the Hall way and then a Rap on the Door. If Florine put on her Other Dress and went to Hop then Mother would sit up and wait for her, and o'clock was the Outside Limit. Consequently Florine would have to duck on the Festivities just when everything was getting Good. Furthermore, she would have to warn MT. Escort to behave himself when they drew near the House.
 Nothing doing at the Gate" she would say, warningly. Its Dollars to Dumplings that the Girl Detective is peeking out to get a Line on my Conduct. She has her Ear to the Ground about four thirds of the Time and if anyone makes a move, then Mother is Next If Father takes a Drink at the Club and then starts Home ward on a fast Trolley, Mother knows all about 1t when he is still three Blocks from the House. Whats more, she is a knowing Bird and can't be fooled by Cloves or those little Peppermint Choo- Choos- The only time when Mother kisses Father is when she wants to catch him with the Goods. Look Outl This Is our Corner"
 As soon as they had landed at the Gate, little Florine would say in loud, clear Tones that would carry as far as the Sitting-Room

Because of this Current of Blue Blood racing in her Veins, Florine was supposed to be trifie Classy and Mother was always afraid that she might get Thumb-Marks on the Family Escutcheon. Therefore Florine was forbidden to work up Calling Acquaintance with any of the Hoi Polloi, which is Greek for Selling-Platers. According to Mother, there were only about Families in town that really be- longed and some of them didn't Belong enough to hurt. Florine found herself cut O. many a Good Time because the Cnaperon for the Occasion chanced to be re- lated to some one who had been in the Liquor Business at one Time.
 Florine was up against it ever so Hard. She had to go out in the Grape Arbor when she wanted to chew Gum and she kept her Read ing Matter under the Mattress. Nearly every nigh-speed Bachelor in Town had been forbidden the Premises because Of the Stories that were going around. The kind that Mother approved were of the Lilac Division with White Puff Ties and their Hair glued down. They talked about Choir Practice and sometimes when they were sufficiently wrought up, they played Charades.
 The only Chance that Florine had to mingle with the Popular Boys was to go down Town in the Afternoon and just happen to meet one of them at the Ice-Cream Par Tor. Florine learned to be quite Happener. But on the way home

John b. Weeks, of Champaign, ILL.,,
a personal friend of Rear-Admiral

MI Sampson, in which she says that
the mental condition of the admiral Is
beyond recovery. The letter was
written in reply to a note expressing
sympathy with the Rear Admiral in
the personal annoyances he has suf-
!fered in the controversy with Rear
Admiral Schley. The letter follows;
My Dear Mr.. .Weelts:-Admiral Samp-

Bad Year for Pugillstic Champions.

This has been IA disastrous wear for
champion pngilists, four having been
disposed of since last year. The most
surprising defeat was that of Terry Nc
Govern, who lost his title of feather
weight champion to George Roth well
e'4oung Corbett') in two rounds at
Hartford, Conn, on Thanksgiving dav.
The honors Of the welter-weight
championship were particularlu fleet
ing. Matte Matthews of New York,
who held the title, stacked up against
Rube Ferns of Kansas, and was laid
low in ten rounds. Ferns held the title
until recently, when he met Joe Wal
colt, the black, who licked him good in
five rounds
The fourth champion to go the route
of the others was Dan Dougherty, the
bantam. Dougherty relinquished his
title, while Tom Ryan, the middle
weight champion, and Frank Erne, the
ight-weight champion, did not fight
with their titles at stake.
