 Johns memory for dates and names is considered marvellous by attendants at the farm. who say that his mental faculties have in no way been impaired by his long stay in bed. This is considered more wonderful because John refuses to look at books or papers or amuse himself with cards or other games.

 John never exerts himself in any way except when the attendants attempt to make him leave his bed. Then he battles valiantly for his right to remain on the couch where he has chosen to pass the re- mainder of his days. John was at first unwilling to talk about his past.

Mrs. Brown is an extremely handsome woman and just enough of . coQuette to attract men about her wherever she goes.
 Not long after they had arrived Mrs Brown had four men around her, while Brown was pretending to be in- terested in some books scattered around on . corner table. Mrs. Brown inquired of the men, in turn, as to just what sort of literature they produced. One confessed he was coffee broker, another was doctor, the third was a machinery salesman. The fourth man admitted cheerfully that his only serv- ice to literature was reading books and newspapers. At this point Brown joined the group and the coffee broker suggested to the lady that she might ask the newcomer what he did.

Her Lockout.


II must tell you the joke on me-"
Eaid a business woman who 'keepS
bach" In a cunning little apartment.
Last week | invited two friends for
luncheon. AS have just an hour at
noon l got everything ready before I
left in the morning that could be pre-
pared and set on the ice. made a
lovely salad, dessert, prepared for
toasted mullins and tea and set my ta-
BILE in all It's glory. even buying some
flowers for centerpiece. My guests
met me at the Office and we went to
the apartment. What do you think !
had done? Left my keys inside and
locked the door.
"There was absolutely no way for us
to get in. The janitor had Il pass key
but he was away. All the windows on
the fire escapes were locked. and no
other key in the building fitted. There
was nothing to do but take my guests
to restaurant. Then | found that !
had not even brought my purse from
the office. never dreaming that should
need it. had to ask my guests for
money to pay for the luncheon. and.
as it happened. they only had quar-
ter each above their carfare. We went
to the cheapest pace we cvuiu nnu
and had sandwiches and coffee.
Wasn't that funny?" - Philadelphia

To Prevent Lint Sticking.

When pieces Of felt are pasted to
the bottom Of ornaments that are to
stand on a polished surface care must
be taken that the surface is not damp
or the varnish fresh. or the lint from
the felt will stick to the wood and be
worse than the scratch.
This happens quite often in the
slides Of old mahogany desks. The
unsightly mark on the top can only be
removed by scraping gently with a
piece Of fine sandpaper and then rub
bling up with sweet oil and vinegar.
Do not scrape hard, or the varnish
will be scored and the surface Of the
mahogany be ruined.
