to read: ITO rejoice In life because 1t

always been regarded, that is by The
Uneasy Chair and other older folk, as
something to be avoided, yet here it is
mentioned as something to give ground

fussing to do with laughing and studying
the moon? Nothing according to the old
dictionaries; but much according to a
usage which has not yet got into the die
tionaries, but which is pretty sure to get
| there before long. For, be it known unto
all the ignorant, to fuss means to pay at
tention or receive attention from one of
the opposite sex. It is not quite making

fuss and to flirt, it seems. Flirting is not
so ingenious. All this philology is gath

experienced prosperous year in bust
ness thought it would be a gracious
thing to share his good fortune with
his wife, so at Christmas he presented
her with the finest diamond necklace
he could purchase. When the neigh

made the gift for the purpose of keep
ing peace in the family. They Won
dered what his wife had caught him
at, and each invented a bit of scandal
to fit the case.

with sunny hair. Miss Betty recognized
her caller as one of the teachers from the
village school,
Good evening, Miss Nesbit. Will

Florence Nesbit followed the mistress
of the house to the sitting-room. AS
