LEAP YEAR LOVE TESTS.
FlIrtatious Maidsns Send Them &c

FlIrtatious Maidsns Send Them 20
Young Men They Love Most.
There is a little token called the
'1ove test which the firtatious maiden
makes in leap year and sends to the
young man she fancies most, or If she
is the typical girl OF 1908, practical,
heart whole and fancy free, she sends
several of them to as many Of her ad-
mirers.
A piece Of cardboard Z by inches
is selected and gashed In nine places
to admit ribbons from an inch to an
inch and a half in width. These are
selected In colors corresponding with
those In the couplets which are either
lettered on the ribbon itself or on the
cardboard above It, The girl who is
something Of an artist may carry out
the color scheme of the ribbons In a
border Of flowers painted around the
sides and top, cutting the cardboard
away from part Of the flowers to make
an irregular edge. Blue cornhowers,
black pansies, orange blossoms, yell
low daisies, fern leaves, little brown
DulIOn uuAucs Etu NuAudAAOhof ntAAo-
trope and violets are painted in over
the ribbons, which hang In long ir-
regular fringe and which, II well Sc
lected, make a beautiful color scheme
when arranged in the order mentioned.
The maiden who Is not overbold
omits the white ribbon and uses II as
hanger, thus making 1t more difficult
for the man to get II out. with the con-
sequently better chance OF tempting
him to the coveted proposal. If the
flowers are used, these couplets are
lettered on the ribbons;
II TO me your heart is true
Send me back the blue.
II for me all thought you lack.
Send me back the black. -
Should you think Of the marriags rite.
Send me back the white.
II you're already an engaged fellow.
I Confess and send me back the yellow.
Should pique be what your cold airs mean.
/ Set me at rest and send the green.
But n at thought Of me you frown
/ Tell me the worst and send the brown
II on thrills for me your heart is fed.
Quick. oh. quickly send the redl
II you are a friend for stormy weather.
Send the hehotrope, like purple heather.
II for what is past you suffer yet.
Send me back the violet.

BIBLICAL TEXT
HIS EPITAPH
Tod Hall. Detective Evangelist.
Inserted His Name in a
SCrip,uraI Quotation

Changing St. John iii. 6. so as to
make its promise OF everlasting life a
more personal one to him in It's word
ing, Tod Hall, the detective evangeI-
ist, of Baltimore, who was we'll known
in Wilmington, who died few days
ago, wrote the epitaph which is now be-
ing chiseled on his tombstone in Lou-
don Park Cemetery in Baltimore.
For God so loved Tod Hall that He
gave His only begotten Son, that if
Tod Hall believeth in Him. Tod should
never perish, but Tod hath everlasting
life"
The original reads:
For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son. that who's
soever believeth in Him should not per-
ish. but have everlasting life"
The change may not read smoothly
but Tod Hall told his family on sew
eral occasions that the verse had prov
ed so much more comforting TO him
when he made the change that he de-
sired II 70 be placed on his tonlbstone
just as he wrote IT, The word hath
in the last clause Is even being heavily
underscored, as he wrote IL.
Tod Hall gave a personal application
OF texts to himself in other cases. In
every Bible he used he substituted his
own name in that text. He used red
ink to underline those special words
which appealed to him. For those he
did not consider quite so Important
he used lead pencil or black ink.
The Bible which he used most is full
Of little thoughts which the various
texts brought to his mind. There is
not a page which does not contain at
least a few words. Many OF them are
mpletely covered with notes. Tho
texts are underlined. and In some cases
there IS writing between the lines.
This Bible is now one OF the most
treasured possessions Of his daughter.
