Once there was a Lover who was on
the Ragged Edge of the Desert where
the Old Bachelors live.
He was good and tired of The Aris-
tocratic Boarding House, in which
one-half of the Women Folks are Pri-
waite Detectives. This thing. of living
in a Pigeon-Hole and looking out at a
Tin Roof had lost all Rarity and
Charm for Horace.
He had gazed into the barren Flu
ture and made up his mind to Marry,
even if he had to choke some Nice
Girl in order to force her to say Eyes. y
He was all keyed up for Matrimony
and the next thing to do was to choose
the Lucky Bride.
Horace had done more or less re-
hearsing and he was wise to the Fact
that it is just as easy to love Girl

who has the Coin as it is to get dippy
over the Honest Working Girl. Some
Men imagine that the Foxy Play is to
grab off something that never owned
any Sunbursts and Sable Wraps, and
probably she will be satisfied with De-
partment Store Turquoises and Imi-
tation Lambs Wool.
But Horace observed that those who
never had been strong enough to throw
on the Lugs while they were living at
Home, were the very ones who put
crimps into the Bank Account before
the honeymoon played out
Horace often suspected that some of
them hooked up merely to get a
Whack at the Finery. But then, Hor-
ace was regular old Cynic.
SO he decided that he would pick
one whose Folks had already bought
for her about everything she would
need.
After travelling the Beat for a month
and putting down Names in his
Pocket Memorandum Book, he drew a.
Red Mark around the Name of Lucille
and the same Day he sent her some
Orchids and a New Book that he

knew she would Enjoy, because it had
such Sweet Love Story running
through it,
Soon after that, the Girl at Central
began to know all about the Progress
OF the Affair. Lucille was all around
the Neighborhood assuring People that
although Horace had been lovely to her
and she esteemed him as one of her
dearest and kindest Friends, there was
really and truly nothing doing. Conse-
quently, every one could see how it
was going to turn out.
Horace had fondly supposed that the

Fade In Wrapping Paper.

From the Washington Times.
 More and more is the esthetic creepine into trade. It has even extended to wrap- ping paper. In this respect the druggists are the leaders, as the purchases at phar- macies are not bulky. and the proprIetors can afford to be artistic in small details. The druggist who wraps up small par eel or bottle in white paper and ties it with red string is behind the times. The up to date pharmacist pays almost as much attention to getting attractive wrapping paper as he does to the purity of his drugs
 "I have adopted this soft. dull tinted. unglazed gray as my shop color" said one druggist Tt IS distinctive and acts as a sort of advertisement for me. for customers become acquainted with 1t. For tying l use nothing but this orange cord. l have not noticed a marked in- crease of custom from my efforts to make the bundles things of beauty. but 1 am convinced 1t will pay.
