But worse was to follow, She said 1t was not at all remarkable that he should fancy she was consumed with love for him. since I had insisted upon throwing her at the young fellows head. Can you imagine an accusation more painful Harriet? And the most unpleasant part of 1t was that I could not deny It.. Then she said that she was in love with some other man! This came as a great shock to me- and I begged her to tell me the name of the man who had trifed with her affections. She wouldn't tell. but she assured me that he hadn't been trif1ing with her; that she had just been foolish and had fal- len in love with him without any encouragement. And then, Harriet, She said the most extraordinary thing. She had been pondering what my secretary had said all evening, she declared and had come to the conclusion that she would have to elope. I implored her to do nothng so rash, and asked her whom she had in mind. But she answered, no one; that l would have to help her select somebody.
 Sha said, and her argument was sound, Harriet, that when girl eloped with one man, nobody could accuse her of being in love with another. But 
 She admitted that she didn't. either, but that it had to be done. and the sooner the better.

Tho fifteen negro teamsters, employ ed by the city, who struck at noon Sat urday, returned to work at their usual hour yesterday morning. They resum- ed their routine duties on the same basis where they formerly worked un- der and they appeared well satisfied to return to their jobs.
 It will he remembered that the team sters, who were employed at driving wagons in the service of the streets department. declined to work on the ground that they should have been paid full time on a day last week when it rained very heavily. Mayor Teague refused to grant any concessions to the strikers, holding that they would get the pay only when they worked

The Wife,s Income.

It does not seem to me consistent for
a man to say at the marriage altar

necessary for his wife TO use diplomacy
to get 60 cents from him to pay the ice
man.
The husband who dolorously doles out
dollars, under protest. on the install
ment plan to meet family expenses. is
viewing home IN a wrong perspective.
Many men who pride themselves on
the care they take of their families feel
that in permitting their wives to run
bills at certain stores they have done
all that is necessary. But store ac-
count is not cash; 1t is not negotiable
you cannot buy tickets for a concert
and have them charged on the coal bill,
or put an extra trolley ride with the
children on dry goods store account.
Some women, rather than submit 10
the humiliation of asking for money
from their husbands, do without little
things that would add greatly to their
happiness. says the Delineator. Others,
after studying their husbands mood,
as a mariner watches the weather, by
policy, fiattery, wheedling, or other arti-
fee, secure as concession what should
be given them as right. Others stint
on the housekeeping money, save at the
expense Of their own energy. health or
strength in order to get little money
of their own.

Fresh air comes first in the list of
requirements, because it is probable
that very few babies indeed get all of it
that they are entitled to. 1t has been
noted by wise physician that babies
with pneumonia do best if they are kept
in the open air as far as possible, and
he even tells of nurses clad in fur-lined
gloves and coats because the sick-room
is kept so cold. But the sick child who

month they are born in, wrap them up
warmly, shield them from direct draft
but let them breathe outside air day

terrible to face, then wrap them up in
a south room and open all the windows.
Whatever the baby's diet may be, nat
ural or artificial, it should be admin
istered with unwavering regularity.
The tiniest specimen OF humanity is an
incarnation of artful cunning where its
appetite is concerned, and If 1t finds
that bawiing results in feeding, it will

is not disturbed by this fact, and who

SeIf-Rescuer.

In shallOw-water navigation the
Western world can teach the Chinese
little. They have by centuries Of prac-
tice simplified the methods of use of
their many rivers, says the author of
The Reshaping of the Far East
1t was on tributary of the Yangtze,
a broad and shallow and treacherous
stream, that he came across new
genus Of junk, the self-rescuer. There
are many kinds of junks in China, from
the huge, numbering seq junk, which
looks like a galleon of other days, to
the wasp-waisted river-junk which sails
the great canal. But to the Western
traveller this one was new.
1t was a double junk, a junk which
could be split in two. Midships it was
only chained together in a primitive
way. and by releasing certain bolts it
could be divided into halves, the stern
floating one way and the stem another
Coming downstream 1t often happens
that heavy junk piles up" on some
sand-bar, and defies all efforts to float
it off again, for here water is counted
by inches. Then it is only necessary
to unchaim the after half, sail it away
and unload it, float it alongside the
forward half again, and unload from
one into the other until the first half,
much Iightened, can be pushed off.
Then they are reclaimed and the jour
ney resumed. The junkmen, squatting
on their launches, explained to the
traveller that this was really a very
dry country, and not water country
at all, and that to navigate where there
inches of water needs special measures.

Rearing Another's Burden

That it is not impossible TO ring a
new change ON woman's aversion to
telling her correct age has been proved
by the rector of New York church.
He does not appear to be more than
80 years old, but declared to an inquir-
ing parishioner that he was 80, and
added, Il shall be a my next birth

Eaahinn Notes.

Birmingham and the various silks OF
the pongee class are made up for street
wear, not only in bolero models, but in
pony coat and basquei models; and
such silk, in the natural tone, trimmed
simply with soutache the same color, is
very successful in the hands Of a clever
tailor.
Street frocks of the most severe tall
ored description in the ubiquitous light
gray mixtures, with no trimming save
collar and cuffs Of panne. are shown by
several Of the most exclusive tailors,
the panne being usually in some con-
trasting shade, the collar OF the round
ed shawl sort.
One Of the novelties of the season is
the extremely pretty striped white mo-
hairs The stripping Is, Of course, in
the weave, and is in all widths, from
pinstripe to a good half-inch. The mo-
hair is Of the best quality, as pliable
and soft as serge, though with the old
dust-shading surface and luster.
Foulard is once more tremendously
chic, and the material appears in sew
eral new guises. crepe de chene foulard
being one OF the most attractive. In
connection with both wolfe and foulard,
and indeed with almost all of the pop
ular materials, one must note the in
.istence Of combinations Of materials.
Embroidered linen trimmings are Of

frock, and. while not so modish as en-
broidery done upon the frock material,

Why Kelly Laughed.

Baseball cranks will all remember
with pleasure the late Mike" Kelly,
the star attraction Of the famous Bos-
tons. then champions of the National
League. The Bostons were playing in
a western city, and had just returned
to their hotel after the game, and the
members OF the team were separating
and going TO their rooms while Kelly
headed for the bathroom to take his
regular rub down.
4 few minutes later one OF the other
players on the team, while passing
down the corridor, heard Kelly's well
known laugh inside the bathroom. and
stopped at the door and asked Kelly
what the joke was.
Kelly replied: This is the first time
/ ever got out of the bath tub without
stepping ON the soap"

Girl. and Beauty Foods.

Much of the muddy" coarse, or 9TH
er complexion blemishes are produced
by the inordinate craze many girls have
for acid fiavorings ii. e., vinegar, etc. !,
and the strong tasting sweets which
contain sugar-substitutes that directly
produce impurities in the blood. Prob
ably few girls know that their craving
for sweets and acids can be satisfied in
quite a natural and beneficial way. Re
Gently, the Kings physician urged the
public to make a more plentiful use of
dried currants, which, he states, pro-
vide nutriment for brain and body
much in excess Of any other foods. AS
currants contain very delicate and
agreeable acid, and are almost entire
~ composed OF the nourishing grape
sugar, intelligent girls should take the
hint and see that their food contains
this important little fruit as often as
possible. There Is no doubt that cur
rants so enrich the blood as to produce
the beautifully smooth skins and
healthy tints so noticeable In the maid
ems OF modern Greece

One might sum up the needs of ba-
bies in three words-fresh air, regular
ity, quiet. Babies are but little ami
mails, it is true; but after all they are
little animals with great deal to do
for themselves, and they should receive
all the assistance possible from those
in charge of them, to enable them to
perform this work properly.
In the first year of life great changes
are going on in the body, and the baby
needs all the help possible to meet the
demands made upon its tiny system in
the way of tissue formation. A baby
cannot speak up and tell us that it's
meals do not seem to set well, or that a
dissipated evening gives it a disturbed
night, SO there is nothing for parents
