II the people could only have their
forethought in time, instead of making
of il an afterthOught what q differ
ence 1t would make in the outcome. A
couple stood in most becoming atu-
tude, with his dark curls bending close
above her fair locks the other evening
in the corridor of a fashionable apart
ment house, having forgotten that the
little electric button beside them would
have shrouded their every act in Sc
crecy, if pressed at the right moment.
A flood of light enveloped them, and
flood of feeling, too, doubtless, for just
es the latter flood Overcane them, and
the two heads were merged comforta-
bly,, the front door opened and an in
nocent spectator became a surprised
witness. With an effort TO follow the
golden rule, the newcomer assembled the
steps without so much as looking in
their direction, and at the same time
bursting with laughter and consumed
With-envy. But not content with haV-
ing forgotten to press the button at the
proper time, no sooner did they discov-
err the condition than they pressed it,
eXtinguishing the light and proving
that forethought is sometimes mis-
placed. Under some circumstances an
electric button is dangerous thing
to leave impressed.
A queer sort of kleptomaniac was
seen and studied yesterday In one of
the popular cafes of the town. Perhaps
she was in search of material for an
afternoon tea, perhaps she lacked
sweetness in some line. but however it
was, she reached over behind the menu
card after having placed her order
with the waiter, and calmly distracted
the entire contents of the sugar bowl
Jumps deity behind the card till she
had the last one, and then she handed
them over TO the male accompanying
her to store them in his pocket What
ever her object was. she furnished
lot of amusement for the people in the
gallery above her. who, seemed to be
the only ones having an unobstructed
view.
If the female crooks who robbed the
Park jewelry store wore those lovely
dotted wells at the time of the trans
action, of course no man could ever
recognize them. II there was ever a
better disguise invented no one has
been seen in it. Under some circum-
stances a man couldn't recognize his
wife in such a guise. And speaking of
wells. one friend stopped another the
other day to tell her how becoming the
new veil was to her.
Yes" she said, so glad you like it.
OF course it makes me deathly sick at
my stomach to wear il, and the doctor
says / positively must not because of
these dots, but 1 just can't give it up,
it's so becoming"

The local schedule would indicate
that there is to be a suspension of all
activities for the next week. and that
Holy week will be kept" at least,
whatever becomes of the rest of Lent.
Immediately after Easter, however,
thSe is TO be not alone a resumption
but apparently a considerable increase
in social activity. A number of large
springtine teas are planned, and
doubtless there will be more doing
than has been for some months.
There are two extremely persOnable-
looking young men in the town who
are very nearly doubles. At any rate,
the better-loOking one has been taken
so many times recently for the wealthy
one that his friends are keeping a strict
outlook on his actions TO see whether
he conforms to all the requirements or
not. DOLL BARET.
