that makes the approach on straight

Preserving the Balance.

A well known professor of archi-
lecture, commonly referred to as Ham
my" by his pupils, told a story Illus
trative Of the remarkable degree to
which certain persons possess the sense
of symmetry.
1t seems that there was once
Scotch gardener who had charge of
good sized English estate and under
whose direction the formal garden at
the rear had been laid out with abso-
lutte symmetry, even the two summer
houses, one on each side Of the garden.
being Identical in even tie most minute
detail. On one occasion the English
man became angry at his son and
locked him up in one of the summer
houses. AS soon as the Scotch garden
er heard of this mis- sense of symmetry
was so outraged that he Immediately
sent for his own son and locked him
I'D in the other summer house to pre-
serve the balance. "Hammy" neglect
ed to mention whether both boys were
dressed exactly alike, but it Is to be
presumed that even this detail was at
tended to by the aesthetic Scotchman.

You think l would allow my sons to

But why should she starve?''
''Then what-what do you propose

mind you, if she marries you she is no

Il do mind you. Well, she can live

that the tutor was bluffing.
