THEY HAD TEA AND MUFFINs.

In five weeks the tenor signed the
pledge, and in six the contralto stopped
bleaching her hair and came to choir
practice with her head tied up in a veil
to hide the inevitable discrepancies as
to color.
She's a dear little thing" she con-
fided to the bass "Shes poor and takes
care Of her mother"
'I'll take care of them BOTH" the
bass declared ardently, .'if she will let
me-"
The tenor having made the same
statement, the contralto carried the
news to the soprano
'They are both in love with you, my
dear" she whispered one Sunday morn
Ing when the green curtain had been
drawn and the congregation had set.
tied down comfortably to hear the SER
| mon.
I'D rather not talk about such things
in church If you don't mind" the So
prano said gently, and the contralto
agreed hastily and gave her earnest at
tention to the preacher.
But tell me one thing" the tenor
said to the contralto confidentially at
choir practice, "how are we going to
ask her? Her mother walks home with
her after all the services, and she
hasn't asked us to call. and she won't
talk about secular things in church,
and there you are"
"Is love a secular thing?" the con
tralto questioned sentimentally.
"She says it is" the tenor stated,
"but think il Is divine"
Things came to something of a eli
max when the sopranos mother was
taken sick
NOW is your chance" said the con-
tralto, all in fiutter, as she leaned to-
ward the tenor.
But the bass was already begging the
privilege.
81 had hoped you might let me" the
tenor said as he stumbled over two
chairs to get to her.
"Why not both Of your said the
soprano. its on your way home, and
you will be company for each other

"Oh. the aggravation of herr

The Size of the Sea Horse.

The popular mistaken idea as to the
size of the sea horse is constant
source of amusement to the guards ut
the aquarium. According to them,
visitors, after looking at the big sea
cow and peering into the tank where
the turtles lead placid life, next be-
gin to hunt around among the inhabit-
ants Of the big floor tanks to find the
sea horse They reread all the placards
and carefully reinspect all the occu-
pants Of the big tanks; then, failing tC
discover any immense fish which close
ly resembles horse, they turn to a
guard as a last resort When they are
directed to one of the smaller tanks
upstairs and when they learn, that this
supposed monster of the deep never
attains Il size Of more than ten inches
they are amazed enough. The speci-
mems OF the sea horse at the aquarium
are much below the maximum size,
and when seen clinging by their curl
Gus prehensile tails to the different OBJ
jects in the tank look more like little
chessmen than anything else. = New

There had been an immense amount
| of irreverence in the choir before the
new soprano came. The tenor and
the contralto and the bass and the old
| soprano had flirted from the opening
| anthem to the benediction and as they
were hidden from the congregation by
green baize curtain there had been
no scandal although certain members
Of the session had complained of weird
sounds that had seemed to echo from
the organ loft and die in the steeple.
With the advent of the new soprano.
however, came a different state of az
fairs. Both the tenor and the bass
fell in love with her at sight, and the
contralto, being forty and fat and fair,
submitted comfortably to the new
singers conquest and smiled on her in
a way unprecedented in choir history,
where the green eyed monster is sup
posed to rage rampant.
The new soprano was not irreverent.
and hence it came about that romance
was succeeded by religion, and the
tenor and the bass paid strict atten-
ton to the responses and to the SER
mon and bent their heads during pray
ers, although so earnest were the So
prano's meditations that the bass was
constrained now and then to glance at
her and after intercepting the tenor's
ardent observation would again seem
wrapped in his devotions.
At the time of the opening prayer
the sun came through the rose win
dow. A white dove spread his wings
against the stained glass background,
and as the soprano stood up for her
solo he seemed to hover over her head.
and her shining hair made golden
halo.
"Oh, she's too good to be true" the
bass told the tenor as they went home
together one Sunday in May.
'She is perfect" the tenor declared
fervently I'VE are lot of sinners,
and she has come among us like lit
tie saint to make us ashamed of our
selves"
1t was discovered after three weeks
that the bass had given up smoking.
