formidable alphabet is so perfect as
to give every sound known to any

The Happiest People.

The happiest people in the worlo

of the child's creative faculty Of
imagination, which makes atmosphere
and color, and sun and shadow, and
boundless horizons out of what seems
to prosaic wisdom most inadequate
material-a tuft of grass-a messy
rock; the rainpools of passing
shower, glimpse of sky and cloud, a
wait of west wind, birds nutter and

YOUNG MANS STRENUOUS WOO.
ING IRRESISTIBLE.
AS MIR. johnson Himself Said, When
He Had His Mind Made Up There
Was Nothing That Could
Stop Him.

lady, softly, that some great opportu,
nifty was within your grasp, but you
had hardly the presence of mind, the
the courtesy, as it were, to avail
yourself of it,"
"Why-er-yes, Miss Stevens. l
have at times had that kind of feel
ing"
Miss Stevens sighed dreamily, and
then there was a pause, during which
the young couple sat in the semidark-
ness of the parlor in profound silence.
He sat down and looked helplessly at
the glowing Goals in the crate, with
the feeling that every breath he drew
was mortifying and CHASTITY blunder.
"As you were about to say, Mr..
Johnson" resumed the young lady,
there are times when it seems to
all of US we must speak what is in
our minds"
Yes" vaguely answered the bewil-
dered youth, as he tried to remember
when he had begun to say anything
And while l am not so sure ought
to listen TO you, Mr.. Johnson" she
said, with downcast eyes, when you
speak to me in this-this personal
matter, yet"
The young man could feel his pulse
beat a tattoo on the drums of his
ears, but he sat like boy with his
masters eye upon him and said moth
ing.
BY the way" exclaimed Miss Stev-
ems, presently, q have new book of
engraYings, Mr.. Johnson, that l am
sure you will enjoy seeing. 1t is a
large book, and you'll have to move
your chair Yes, you can sit here
with me on the sofa l never thought
of that"
The pictures danced before the eyes
of the young man in blurred, confused
images.
Isn't this engraving of the Court
ship of Florence Dombey and Walter
Gay perfectly lovely?'
"Wh-which is Walter?' he gasped.
"There Look closer! Don't you
see him?"
'Wh-who's he courting?"
You'll have to come closer, Mr..
Johnson. l declare, though'-and she
looked archly at the trembling youth
Il am almost afraid to let you come
any nearer. You look exactly like Wal
ter in the picture"
And then the arm of the helpless
young man stole in a timid apologet-
ic, Hneaking way round the waist Of
the charming Miss Stevens, her head
sank upon his shoulder and the book
Of engravings fell neglected to the
aoor.
Samuel" she said an hour later, as
Jhe toyed with the button of his coat
you bold boy! How on earth did you
ever muster courage to ask me to
become your wife? You know well
enough I never gave you particle Of
encouragement"
The young man patted her conde
scendingly on the head, and then said
proudly with the voice Of an Ajax de
flying the lightning:

Wells BAD FOR EYES

says the former.
"Yourseyes WILSON be without sight
with one" growls back the vision spe-
cialist-
AS a rule. the last word is with the
woman.
Her veil she win have, so the only
thing is to try TO educate her into the
least injurious kind.
White and red wells are trying to the
eyes, so are dotted designs and heavy
meshed nets.

Woes of the Window Gardener.

Early in the fall the windows of
Hopeville always presented an attrac-
tive appearances. Geraniums, verbenas,
monthly roses, mignonette. heliotrope
and many other lovely flowers bloomed
there, but each month thinned them
out until early December found the
Brown windows alone occupied by
growing things.
Mrs. Brown always firmly ignored
hints that she should lend her floral
pets for the decoration of the church
at Christmas. Even the frankly ex-
pressed opinion Of the rector's wife
that she "loved her plants more than
the Lord" did not move their owner.
Her faith was not great enough to rely
on any miraculous interposition Of

DON'T SHEER AT
"OLD MAIDS

Never sneert girls, at an unhappy

To brood over things that cannot be

many roses to be gathered in the
garden of life over and beyond the 70

DRINKING AMONG WOMEN

for champagne alone was 800. and who
filled up the intervals between their
draughts of vintage wine with cock
tails and high-balls.
'The punch bowl figures at all func-

a dozen years ago. School misses and
college girls are conspicuous among
the throng. One New York clergyman
recently instanced the case OF lunch

SHE HAS NEVER CHEWED GUM

Mrs. William A. Dunn. of this city
enjoys a unique and probably unequal
led record in that she is 81 years old
and has never had chewing gum in
her mouth. In a recent religion meet
ing in Albany the minister asked all
women who had never chewed gum
to arise. Mrs. Dunn was the only one
of the 400 women present who stood
up, and she was one of the very Oldest
in the audience. Later she reiterated
the statement made at the meeting and
said that she could not remember that
chewing gum Of any kind had ever
passed her lips. Mrs. Dunn has lived
in Albany five years. coming here from
Portland, to which city she moved in
1889 from Jacksonville. ILL.,, where she

IMPORTANCE OF YOUNG
WOMEN IN SOCIETY

The Importance Of the young woman
in American society IS out of all pro-
portion to her achievements. and ma
turally. where such importance is the
rule. the social tone. however gay"
is unintellectual and devoid of the mel
lowness which makes the formal in
tercourse of human beings an institu-
tion. Instead of being taught in child
hood that her business is to serve. and
that her only chance OF happiness is in
service, she is virtually taught that
everything must be done for her. The
rewards of woman's existence-love'
respect, deference-are thus placed at
the wrong end of life. TO begin with,
the sense of values is lost by the pro-
fusion of Christmas. Easter and birth
day presents showered upon her every
year. As Whately said of literary
style, "TIe who accentuates everything
accentuates nothing"
In such extravaganza the beauty Of
simplicity disappears, end beside the
luxury Of such a girlhood the gifts OF
nature and of common human life lose
their preciousness. A glorious sunset,
the nightly miracle of stars. the treas
ures of noble poetry-the heritage of
human kind-what are these to most
debutantes compared with spectacle
Of coIored lights at the theatre2 Space

for instance. of the approximation Of
the life of girls to that Of their elders
in dress and entertainments, which is
but a part of the lavish and unap-
preciated idolatry that attends from
cradle to ohtar-none the less a mon
strous foyy that it is committed In the
name of parental iove.-Century.

TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE.
Drussist Dutton Offers to Pay for
Samose " II Does Not Make
Thin Folks Fat.

Pale, thin people are simply suffering
from want of nourishment. They may
eat enough, but this food is not properly
digested and does them no good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh forming
food should be used by all who are pale
weak and thin. 1t mingles with the food
and aids assimilation, so that when taken
for short time, Nature will soon assert
her normal powers, and the food that Is
eaten will give strength and good flesh.
Weigh yourself before you commerce
the use Of Samose, and you will notice a
steady gain. Samose is not a cod liver
oil or similar nauseating concoction, but
a scientific flesh-formiug food that re-
stores the thin and scrawny to their pro-
per weight, and fills the weak and debil.
ated with vigor and vitality.
The woman who longs for rosy cheeks
and the plumpness of beauty should use
Samose. The man who wants to be
strong and well and gain health and
good flesh, will find his desires accom-
plished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have followed
the use of Samose that Druggist Dutton
is willing to pay for the treatment If it
does not give the desired results. He
makes this offer generally and wants all
who are thin, weak or out of health to
get box of Samose from him on those
terms,
