Most men like women in quite plain
simple clothes. I suppose, on the
whole, says a writer in the London
world, more corq1ests have been
made by girls in simple white frocks
than have even been made by those
in elaborate corrections; and a

it may be, or better still, the Sunbonnet

cruelty was fearful ordeal for Mrs.
Townsend, the prisoners aged moth.

sat near and gave what comfort they
could to the unfortunate woman.
Once mother and daughter fell to
weeping in each other S arms, but the
audiences gained the impression that
the daughters grief was more on her
mothers account than on that Of her
dead child.
When, finally, the case was given
to the jury, both the public prosecutor
and the chief attorney for the defence
were hysterical from nervous strain
The prisoner looked as though in dan

had not been called upon to testify
The defence relied upon the testimony
Of witness who declared that Mrs.

her failures to correct her child's dis.
obedience, and that she was, moreover,
afflicted with an ailment which ren.

ORIGIN OF L-LOYD'S.
Humble Beginning of Europe's Greas
Maritime Agency.

Two centuries ago man who had
q cargo to send to the Mediterranean
contrived to get rid of some of the RISK
by inducing friend to take an interest
with him. It was necessary to write
out q statement of contract to which
the guarantors subscribed This was
the first underwriting. These two men
happened to be frequenters of Lloyd's
coffee house in London, which was
favorite place for the merchants of the
town to gather to discuss business or to
gossip.
Others Immediately saw the advan
tage of the scheme which their col
leagues had devised, and on the next
voyage the risk was parceled out
among larger number of the patrons
OF the coffee house.
Out of this small beginning has
grown the great European maritime
agency, still bearing the name of the
humble coffee house proprietor, and
which not only writes risks on vessels
but rates them and publishes their ar
rivals at every port the world over, nc
matter how small or how remotely sit
uated.-From 1.-THE Annals Of ths

that she was holding the buttered side
