A Newport woman Is credited with
having started the vogue OF using old.
time garden flowers for table decora-
uon. She has 3 charming old-fash-
loned garden, where dahlias, holly
hooks and other OF the brilliant favor
ties Of our grandmothers grow. When
she began decorating her dinner table
with big bowls of double pink holly
hooks other fashionable women IN
stantly recognized the charm OF the
lovely old flower. and abandoned their
American Beauties, al least for sum
mer wear.
Some one has made a clever discov-
cry about hemming table linen. Hand
hemmed II must be. Of course: but,
thankssto this bright idea, the machine
can still be made to do the greater part
OF the work. Here is the suggestion:
Have your tableeloth ready as II to
sew by machine, and turn the hem ell
along with the hemmer, but without
threading the needle This turning In
Of the hem is, every one knows, the
most lab0rious part OF the task. With
this accomplished II is a comparative
ly easy matter to complete the sewing
by hand.
Old people often make the mistake OF
coddling themselves too much, says a
physician In What TO Eat. Thus they

Nature never intended that man
should be put into hothouse at so and
kept there as a delicate plant Too
much solicitude about the health of
such person may be the actual cause
Of death. The vitality OF the person
may be somewhat lessened at so. but
the man or woman whose health has
received a fair amount OF attention Is
not By any means ready TO be shelyed
al that age. All that Is required is a
little lesseniug OF the burden OF life
and a little more care OF the health.

Yes" nodded The Cub DULY He
felt instinctively that some great mis-
fortune was about to befall him.
You asked: Does A stand for Alice:'
and | said Yes Well, so it does. But
it also stands for Alfred. The 'tine-looking
old codger' back there playing cards is
Mr.. Alfred H. Anderson. This card is
mine"
She held out the name-tag to him,
and he saw that the card had been
pushed forward. His jaws set sharply
as he read: Mrs A H Anders-"
He stared at the card. thinking. He
had himself to blame for taking it for
granted that the letters concealed under
the leather completed the title Miss"
But the girl had lied to him in calling
her husband father" He remembered
how she hesitated over the name. And
she had deliberately amused herself with

that to her it all had been a mere flirta-
ton. to be ended as soon as the train
reached Mendon. He began quietly to
gather his belongings together, He would
go into the smoking-car. He remem-
bered with a certain bitter satisfaction
that at least he had expressed to her
strongly his contempt for married tlirts.
Her voice interrupted him.
Mr.. Steele" she asked wistfully.
cant we still be friends?" She was
ready almost to give up her revenge and
tell him all. The Cub" stopped.
Mrs. Anderson" he replied icilv. Il
do not regret in the least the answer l
made to your question regarding widows
and married women"
Neither do l." she answered smiling,
as the exact wording OF the answer came
back to Der.
The Cub" did o understand. With
out a word he turned and walked to the
door. He passed into the smokirg-car:
and when the train reached Mendon. he
got off at the front end, that he might not
have to see her again.
But first he broke the last resolution :.
in his code OF morality; broke it literally,
pulling the leaf out OF the notebook and
tearing it into tiny pieces, as he muttered
savagely:
80 ends the fool philosophy of The
Cub"
And the girl? She watched him as he
strobe across the PLATFORM 10 meet
Duquette, and she hoped that he might
turn to see her wave farewell. But he
disappeared into the station without a
backward glance. She sighed as the
train pulled out; and then she smiled
contentedly. She felt sure Duquettc
would tell THE Cub" her sad little
story-her forced early marriage. and the
sudden death of her husband two years
ago. And she smiled again happily. as
she thought of The Cubs" answer to
her question about widows and married
women.
She unfastened the little namc-tag and
took out the card hat had caused THE
Cubs" discontinue. The complete in
scription read: Mrs a H Anderson Jr,'
and around the edges ran a little band
of black. The card was two years
old. .
When the train reached the next
station, the old man joined her, and
together they left the car. As they sat
in the carriage on the way home. he
asked: "Who was that youngster you
were talking with on the train
a friend OF Duquette's from the col
lege. He is visiting Frank in Mendon.
| shall tell Frank to bring him over to
call"

away from his cards"
They dined alone. And as he glanced
across at his smiling. companion, The
Cut" was conscious of the thought that
he would like to nave such a fairy"
to preside at his board always. And
then he laughed as he realized that he
knew little in reference to this fairy,
not ever where she lived.
Il say" he whispered to her across
the table. there are one or two things
| want to ask you"
"Yes?" she smiled back questioningly.
Please don't spoil my dinner with
questions. Well be back in the other
car a half-hour before we reach Mendon,
and you may ask anything you please"
Will you answer"
Yes, if you'll be good now"
Then she turned the talk upon current
topics, and kept it there throughout the
meal With tactful suggestions, she sue
ceeded in getting The Cub" to express
some strong views that he never had
known he possessed. and with which he
was vastly pleased: and by making him
talk she convinced him that she was a
charming talker. At the right times she
~applauded his expressions, and gave her
approval in clever sentences. And all
the time the big brown eyes kept up
the game that she had agreed to play;
and so well did she play it that The
Cub" forgot hat they were avowed
enemies. He mentally was deciding that
this was the greatest" girl he ever
had met, and resolving that in his half
hour of questions he would find a means
of continuing the friendship.
He determined to explain to her that
the doctrine of Irritation was all right for
a beginning; but hat when it had served
to make two congenial persons acquainted
it should be abandoned for the more
respectable friendship. Curiously enough,
he took her consent to all this for granted.
As they passed back through the car
on their way to their seats. they found
the old man still absorbed in his game
of cards. He nodded CURLY as they
passed. As soon as they were seated,
The Cub" began.
Miss Anderson" he said solemnly,

Not only possible, but true"

She smiled triumphantly; for she
realized hat the hour of The Cubs"
punishment was at hand.
DO YOU think the Irritation should
continue so far" she asked. "Remem-
Der. | promised only to the end OF this
Journey"
oh, pshawl Let's drop that foolish
bargain. I'm sorry we made it"
".All right she answered, and i'm
mediately she turned from him. and
resumed the serious look with which he
was first greeted. But The Cub" only
laughed.
Not to go back to the beginning"
he whispered. Lets drop the Irritation
where we are now, and then go on and
be friends. Filtration makes a good be
ginning; but it cannot last; it doesn't
satisfy. I'm serious now"
But We promised not to be serious"
The Cub" frowned.
You know we did" she went on
mercilessly Otherwise Id have felt
guilty about deceiving YOU. Even now |

was looking at her wonderingly, with
eyes in which a great fear and a great
anger dawned.

(Just before Charles A. Dana
died, ; little girl wrote him 3 let
ter telling him that she had been
told there was no Santa Claus.
She wanted the great editor to tell
her the truth and in The Sun be
printed this beautiful answer:)
Virginia, your friends who told
You there was no Santa Claus are
wrong. They have been affected
by the skepticism Of skeptical
age. They do not believe except
they see. They think that nothing
can be which is not cOmprehens-
ible by their little minds. All
minds, Virginia, whether they be
mems or children's are little. In
this great universe Of ours man is
a mere insect, an ant, in his intel
lect, as compared with the bound
less world about him, as measur-
ed by the intelligence capable OF
grasping the whole OF truth and
knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion
exist, and you know that they
abound and give to your life its
highest beauty and Joy. Alas!
how dreary would be the world II
there we're no Santa Claus. 1t
would be as dreary rs IL there
were no Virginisns. There would
be no childlike faith then, no poet
ry, no romance to make tOlerable
this existence. We should have
no enjoyment except In sense and
sight. The eternal light with
which childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus!
You might as we'll not believe in
fairies! You might get your papa
to hire men to watch in all the
chimneys on Christmas Eve TO
catch Santa Claus, but even il they
did not see Santa Claus coming
down, what would they proVei
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that
is no sign that there is no Santa
Claus. The most real things in
, the world are those that neither
children nor men can see. Did
you ever see fairies dancing on
; the lawnf OF course not, but
f that's no proof that they are not
r there. Nobody can conceive OF
imagine all the wonders there are
0 unseeable in the world.

noise inside, but there is a vel
covering the unseen world which
not the strongest man that evel
