the Googans. enthusiastically.
Margaret Bickford was so nervous
and excited she couldn't sit still, and
yet she feared to move on account OF
her new finery. She held tightly the

turned pale every time it wOve its way

She'll walk down my throat even

And then the train pulled in. The
Googans were SO busily engaged in
looking for a paragon of elegance that
they missed the first greeting between
the rivals But when they saw
meek, dowdy woman standing awk-
ward and awed before Mrs. Bickford,
their surprise was complete.
This is my friend Mrs. Upper,
Miss Googan-and Miss Googan," said
Mrs. Bickford, SO haughtily that the
Googans gazed at her fascinated. The
girls avoided each others eyes as Mrs.
Upper gave a timid courtesy; but

Mr.. Jerome Evidently Was Aware of
His Wife's Culinary Ability.

Some weeks ago the wife of Judge
Blank, of Pacific avenue, lost her cook,
and since she had no other resource
she rolled up her sleeves and for
week provided such meals as the judge
had not enjoyed since those happy
days when the Blanks did not keep
cook. The judges delight was so great
that by way of appreciative acknowl-
edgment he presented Mrs. Blank
with a beautiful ermine cloak. Quite
naturally, the incident was a good
deal noised about among the social
acquaintances of the Blanks and a
spirit of envious emulation was de-
veloped in certain quarters. 1t was in
this mood that Mrs. Jerome recited
the story to her husband. What do
get, Jerry?" she asked, ''if | will do
the cooking for week." 'Well,"
said Mr.. Jerome, Eat the end of
week, my dear, you'll get one of those
long crepe wells. San Francisco

At a mems cafe one night young
Americana barber-fell in with an
Englishman The latter was berating
the Yankees for doing all manner of
business in their shops and not follow
ing the better English plan of sticking
to one branch.
The next day he staggered into the
barber shop to be shaved The barber
gave his face an extra good soaping
aud left him, at the same time seating
himself to read.
The Englishman kept quiet for a
few minutes, when, seeing his attend
ant reading, he blurted out: why
don't you shave me, sir?"
"You will have to go up the street
for your shave" quietly replied the
barber. 1--WE only lather here"

BOTH GAINED
Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts.

The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent
as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a
kind of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.
81 was a heavy meat eater" writes
an Ills. man, land up to two years
ago, was in very poor health. I suf-
fered with indigestion so that I only
weighed 95 pounds.
''Then I heard about Grape-Nuts and
decided to try it. My wife laughed at
me at first but when I gained to 125
pounds and felt so fine, she thought
she would eat Grape-Nuts too.
Now she is fat and well and has
gained 40 pounds. We never have in
digestion any more and seldom feel
the desire for meat. A neighbor of
ours. 6S years old, was troubled with
indigestion for years; was heavy
meat eater, and now since he has been
eating Grape-Nuts regularly, he says
he is well and never has indigestion.
l could name a lot of persons who
have really been cured of indigestion
by changing from a heavy meat diet
to Grape-Nuts.' There's Reason"

Now and then the Googans were
drawn into the conversation. but they
were best pleased to simply represent
society and remain silent and orna-
mental.
The stop-over woman was whirled
through the parks, the principal drives
and by all the show places and resi-
dences. They sat down to luncheon
that was wonderful, both in selection
and number of courses. While the
Googans had managed most of the
other features of the day, Mrs. Bick-
ford had remained firm about order
ing the luncheon-she knew what
would knock out Mary Ann Tuppers
eye. 1t certainly did. But it nearly
ruined "society's" digestion at the
same time.

it, Margaret. Do you know | didn't

Preachers Comforting Remarks.

At an evening prayer meeting in a
Maine village the senior deacon,
Dominicus Jordan, arose TO make ap-
propriate scriptural remarks about
the death of the late Miss Simpkins.
In conclusion the deacon said: II re-
spected Miss Simpkins, the members
of this church respected Miss Simp-
kins, the citizens of this town re-
spected Miss Simpkins, but now she's
dead and gone to the Lord, and the
scripture saith, The Lord is no re-
specter of persons. Exchange.
