HER Way

Nobody had been quite sure that
Marjorie was especially interested in
young Gregg until summer came.
He was so essentially the sort of
young man she should be interested in
that her friends and family were ma
turally anxious. Marjorie had shown
disposition since she left school to
daily with hearts recklessly and cast
them aside. Those who had young
Gregg's interests at heart feared for
him.
But when summer came and Mar
tOrie announced that while her mother
and her younger sister might go to the
seashore If they chose, she intended
70 stay at home and see that dear
father was made happy and comfort
able, every one put his or her own in
depreciation on her self-sacrifce.
She's afraid to go away and let
Alvin Gregg see how well he can get
along without herr" said the girl who
was jealous of Marjorie.
Il believe she really is in love at
last" said Marjorie's mother, reluc-
family.
Marjorie stayed. Dear father found
appetizing dinners and wonderful iced
drinks in the evening. That he usual
ly shared these latter comforts with
young Gregg in nowise detracted from
his enjoyment Marjorie's father had

take notice, however, when presently
Barker and Upsmith and Van Jones
began to join young Gregg on the YER

This is a well-patronized sort of
family club that we seem to be run

helpless sarcasm one evening after the
callers had all left.
With the impertinence of 20 years
she merely laughed at him and poured
him another glass of the strawberry
lemonade.
II thought Upsmith was as good as
engaged to Carrie" her paternal an
cestor pursued, relentlessly. "And from
the way Barker was hanging around
Jessie last time saw them to-

"Pshaw!" broke in Marjorie. ANY
how, II the girls cared at all about
them they wouldn't be away enjoying
themselves with other people as they
are this minute!"
Young Gregg came oftener than any
Of the others. After he had betrayed a
willingness to listen to Marjorie's
father discourse on the tariff for two
mortal hours that gentleman shook his
head. It's serious with Gregg" he
said to himself. And he's a fine
chap. I'm glad Marjorie likes him"
What he could not figure out, how
ever, was why II Marjorie cared about
young Gregg she would seem so
pleased with the devotion of Barker
and Van Jones and Upsmith. He shook
his head over the ways of the modern
young woman. He shook it still more
when all Of a sudden young Gregg
ceased his visits. When he discovered
that Marjorie had said to young Gregg
NO" he was frankly irritated.
''See here" he said to that young
person over the family dinner table, II

Color of the Ewes,

So far as science is concerned there
are only two kinds of eyes, those
which are blue and those which are
not. Blue is the natural color Of the
eye; all the other hues. described as
hazel or gray, green or violet, are
due to f1ecks of pigment or color
superimposed on the blue iris; and
science roughly dubs them brown.
