This stock she carries in a smart ret
icule which hangs from her belt The
stock is really "a line of samples" and
she takes orders from heads of firms
and clerks, promptly serving her pa
tons with the kind and number of
cigarettes they want. She doesn't
smoke but she knows a good cigarette
when she sees it and sells but the best.
Her occupation is peculiar, and she
carries it to success with piquant
dignity. She allows no familiarity on
the part of any patron-and she keeps
her self-respect intact, because she in
sists most amiably upon the respect of
others due her as self supporting

everyday living"

1t was late afternoon of golden
spring day when Priscilla first tramp
ed with Norton.
Shirt-waisted and walking skirted
she came down the street with fine
swinging gait, by no, means the Pris-
ella that Norton, who had been alb
sent some months, remembered. The
Priscilla of his acquaintance affected
dim-lit corners where she lounged, it
seemed to him, eternally, in gowns
slippery and shiny were they; or, per-
haps, it was Priscilla's sinuousness
that was snaky.
Norton was healthy and unaeS-
thetic young American. The rose for
ever trembling in Priscilla's hair irri-
tated him, because it did not fall. Some
other things that irritated him were
the poses of Priscilla and the man who
hung over her dim corner. and their
Browning atmosphere.

How am l to believe it?''
Don't" she laughed, "andssome day
come tramp with me-" She swung on
down the street-Norton followed
They left the town far behind them
Most girls would have hesitated to
cross a creek without footlog. Pris-
ella sprang from log to log, and called
back to Norton, who said he would

"You are stouter." said Norton,
catching up.

the water. if she hadn't.
Il adore plumpness in women and
babies" said Norton innocently. Pris-
elias smile flashed out on him.
There was a river and a boat. They
padded up stream to float down, with
the sun somewhere at their backs,
dropping a ball of fire into a scarlet
sea. The glow lit their faces; birds
said their evening prayers.
In retrospective afterthought. Nor
ton decided that walk the most de-
lightful of his life. Priscilla hadn't
talked art or music or books. Norton
didn't know what she had talked-he
knew that the new Priscilla was
charming, though. And that he want

There were other walks. horseback
rides, golf, tennis. followed in quick
succession-the little Southern town
gave itself over to athletics. with
Priscilla as its acknowledged queen.
The summer fairly swept itself along
to another late afternoon. when Pris-
ella and Norton found themselves
alone upon the river-drifting in the
sunset glare Norton didn't know
what he said; he didn't know how 1t
appened-Priscilla found herself
with wondering eyes looking over the
river that widened into sea. the sea
of an honest and unaesthetic mans
love.
But q mellory held Priscilla. Walk

GLEANINGS.

A contributor to the Mothers Jour
nal thinks that while decoration Is all
very WELL home comfort is better. 1t
is a question, she says whether Amerl-
cans, as a class, are very comfortable.
They waste too many energies. Cozy
corners are an instance in point. How
many families luXuriate in coy cor
ners down stairs who never see drop
of hot water outside the general bath
room. A jug of hot water would be
much more appreciated by a guest
than any drapings or high art en-
broidery. And when putting the sum-
mer cottage to rights, remember that
no Japanese or silkoline arrangements
will be half as conductive to the Wis
itors' actual comfort as a regular
pitcher of iced water each night. 1T
is the little decorations of everyday
life-if only a pitcher of hot or cold
Water-in the right place, that counts"
An Englishman of scientific pursuits
has recently published a series of sta
tistics concerning smiles which will
astonish the average layman and lay
woman. On an average, he calculates,
a woman stretches her mouth half an
inch each time she smiles. Allowing
her thirty-siX smiles day-which
every man familiar with the subject
will accept as a very conservative est1-
mate-her smile measurement would
amount in twenty-four hours to half
a yard, and in the course of year to
1872 yards of smiles. This is strictly an
average computation, however. A
bride, the newly elected president of q
woman's club. man,with a new auto
mobile or new set of teeth-these will
wreathe you many more yards of
smiles in the course of a twelvemonth
than a paltry 1872. The relation which
these smiling statistics bear toward the
art of living is not quite clear. So far
as practical value goes. the man who
first discovered that smiles bred
wrinkles did vastly more serviceable
thing. Many a woman tries to sup
press her smiles in the interest of her
skin. Expert information as to the
number of yards she smiles a year will
have the effect only of redoubling her
antf-smile vigilance and the world will
be so much the poorer. In any event
the conclusions of the English scientist
