Dukes Daughter Went Backward
When Husband Was Made Peer.
Women filed with fatuous fancy
to introduce the British system Of so
eial precedence, or bad imitation of
it, into this country would do well, per-
laps, to give heed to the trouble they
have even in experienced England with
that sort of thing. 1t is the popular
idea that all changes of social position,

must be for the better. Nothing Of the

to do It. Strangely enough, If a dukes
daughter becomes the bride of COM
moner she retains the position she held
before marriage. But let her husband
beware lest in advancing himself he

is precisely what he'll do IL he breaks
into the peerage.

when Guest was raised to the peerage
his wife stood no longer in the position

Of the wife of one. Instead of taking
her rank from her father. she took Il

as exalted as a duke her position in
the order Of precedence to-day is ten
steps lower than it was before and 70,

A pleasant contrast is the case Of Sir
Edward Malet, who recently refused
peerage because it would have reduced
his bride, Lady Ermyntrude, from the
rank Of the Duke of Bedford's daugh.

Margaret Compton, daughter of the

family, probably in Asia, In the far-of
centuries, it grows all over the world.
1t was well known to the ancient
Greeks and Romans. It is mentioned
in ancient Egyptian writings and in
the Pentateuch.
When the Israelites In the wilderness
grew weary of mamma they sighed for
the good things they had left behind
and they distressed Moses when they
lifted their voices in weeping and
cried: 1--WE remember the fish, which
we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucum-
bers and the melons and the leeks and
the onions and the garlic, but now our
soul is dried away; there Is nothing
at all besides this mamma before our
eyes" ~
It was not so much the fleshpots of
Egypt that they sighed for as for the
succulent leek, the pungent onion, the
odorous garlic. The onion is the Welsh
national emblem. In Spain and Italy
garlic, which is merely condensed
onion, enters into nearly all dishes of
both the rich and poor. The onion
thrives in Siberia and in Honduras.
It fourishes on the Nile and on the
Mississippi. 1t was a favorite with the
Ptolemies of ancient Egypt and it finds
favor with the highest and the lowest
in Macon and Charlotte. The Lady of
Shalott died Of broken heart because
she had to give up either onions or
her lover.
Her lover was one of those finnicky
fellows who objected to the odor Of
onions and she would not give up the
shalott. The onion is all right. 1t
never seeks to conceal itself. 1t is
about the only thing in hash in which
one can have confidence.-Nashvi

appeared before them, Audrey gave one
great cry.
Jack Jackl Thank heaven you have
come!'
Beverley Rochfort rose to his fest
with a low laugh. He was no coward,
like Sheila. He rather hoped there would
be some excitement now.
Jack was silent scarcely a moment {;
he never even glanced at the man; he
looked straight at his wife.
1.-The carriage is waiting for you, Lady
john" he said in voice which Audrey
had never heard from his lips before; 1T
is time for you to return to your home"
Audrey looked at her husband out OF
her great, blue eyes, all distraught as
they were. For the moment she had for
gotten his treachery at joy in his coming
Now, as with one heavy blow, it all re-
turned to her. The end had surely come
when he could speak to her like this,
and how terrible was the way in which
he stared sat her. She had not strength
to move limb or utter a sound.
II request that you accompany me to
the carriage at once" aJack said, this
time quite fiercely.
Audrey drew her domino about her.
Vaguely she felt that, bad as the horizon
of her life had looked a, short hour ago,
it was doubly worse now. She did not
comprehend Jacks manner, but it hurt
her to the quick. That he should speak
to her like this, and before that odious
horrible man! She put out both her
hands. Fear of Beverley drove away her
jealous pangs.
Eyes, yes; take me home. l am ready
to go. I entreat you to take me-"
Jack stood on one side for her to pass
and as he faced Beverley Rochfort alone
for an instant, he said, very quietly:
Either your life or mine answers for
this nights work. You understand"
Perfectly" smiled Beverley, but he
frowned the next moment.
A duel! This was not what he had
anticipated. Andrew did not catch the
hurried words, and, as she walked away
beside her husband, she was too deeply
miserable to think of anything but that
cloud had fallen on her life; that
Jacks love had gone from her, and she
was the most wretched girl on earth.
