JUST WANTED TO SEE MONEY
And the Little Old Lady Had Her
Confidence Restored.

She was a little old lady, so little
and so old that with considerate
friends she would never, never have
been allowed alone in the hurried
throng on the busy streets. She was
such an old little lady that she had
only just learned that there had been
trouble in the banks, and she had
made such haste as she could TO be
sure that her money-all the money
she had sayed-was safe.
Have you got my money! she
asked TREMENDOUSLY when she finally
reached the tellers window.
How much did you haye?' asked
the teller kindly. No one could help
being kind to such little old lady.

So they showed her carefully two

frightened, and with grateful
Thanh you" she left, every line of
her bent little figure showing happy
coutentment and confidence, for she
had seen her money.

Tinfoil Valuable.

Several Of the best-known choco
late manufacturers on the continent
are advising customers not to throw
away the tinfoil in which the choco.
late is enveloped, but TO keep it until
called for by an agent, who will gladly
pay the market price for it. The pres.
ent high price Of tin is due to the ac-
ton of English and Dutch spectators,
who have forced 1t far beyond its
actual value. The chocolate industry
In Europe spends nearly s4,0OOOOO
annually for tinfoil, which is generally
thrown to the winds.

Men and Maidens More Than
Ever Truly Companions.

To-day The young man Of fashion
marries the girl with whom he has
ridden. rowed, climbed, fshed, hunted.
played tennis and golf. He knows shes
a good sport and the finest girl In the
world. but If he ever thought her 2
saint that idea is knocked Que OF his
head long before the wedding day. He
doesn't boost her BY the elbow over
every rock, because he knows she can
climb better than he can. He doesn't
gallantly give her points in games. be
cause he knows that If he does, she'll
beat him
And SO it is with the women in the
professions, in the arts and in bust
ness. There they meet men as fellow
workers, just as the more idle women
meet them as fellow-athletes. They
are drawn together by common inter
ests, and in the cases where love and
marriage result the common interests
remain and form seryiceable and
stable background for the romantic
foreground But the man who works
in the same Office with woman can't
bob up and offer her his chair every
time she comes into the room He
wouldn't have time to do anything
else, He can't stop smoking when
she is in the room. If he did, he might
as we'll give UP smoking altogether If
he happens to keep his hat on in the
Office, it doesn't show any dlsrespect
toward the women. It's simply a habit
that is bad for his hair This whole
some eomradeship in work and play
insures a mutual knowledge before
marriage which is certainly a more Sc
cure basis for permanent happiness
than are romantic dreams. There is
slight danger that lovers will thus be
come too practical
The flowers Of chivalry are fading
The old-fashioned lady Of ruffs and
feathers and perfumes has indeed
fallen upon evil days. Elaborate com
pliments are few and far between. The
courtly gallantry of the dominant male
