Chafing Dish Fudqe Party.

Bring your chafing dish and aprons
for two on Saturday night at eight"
This was the message four girls and
four lads of congenial minds received
not long ago. And what a jolly time
they had! The helpful boys donned
the aprons and the girls amid much
merriment instructed them into the
mysteries of fudge building.
There was divinity fudge, which is
the very latest addition to the fudge
family, and all sorts of concoctions
that made the plain chocolate fudge of
well, I'll say my school days" in
stead of how many years ago, look
like plain little Quaker lady amid
the new fluffy masses filled with nuts
and candied cherries.
The making and selling of fancy
fudge has proved quite a financial at
tribute to one guild" that numbers
goodly array of South side girls
among it's members.

own mistress. although still living un-
der Sir Peters roof; but, as far as |
could see, this spoiled child of nature
and fortune had always been her own
mistress. | found that Overton had
been away for some years on foreign
service, and, after distinguishing him
self greatly, had lately returned suf-
fering from severe wounds and in
juries to his constitution. He was,
however, in London, and able to ride
and walk out, and visit his friends:
but it was doubted by many whether,
on the expiration of his leave, he
would ever be fit for duty again.
/ heard and saw enough to convince
me that Lady Arabella had been wild
with grief and despair when she heard
of his wounds; and, although since
his return to London he avoided com
pany generally, she managed to see
him occasionally, and spent much of
her time driving in the parks upon the
mere chance of seeing him taking his
daily ride or walk. Lady Arabella
Stormont had everything in life that
heart could wish, except one. She had
chosen to give her willful and way
ward heart to Philip Overton, and it
must be acknowledged that he was a
man we'll fitted to enchain a woman's s
Imagination. Overton had disdained
the spontaneous gift of Arabella's s
love; but | believe her naughty and
arrogant mind could never be brought
to believe that any man could be real
ly insensible to her beauty, her rank,
and her fortune. Overton could not
in any way be considered a great
match for her. His fortune was mod
est, and his chance of succeeding to
the Vernon estates remote; but, with
the desperate perversity of her ma
ture, him she would have and no other.
1t always seemed to me as if OvertOn
was the one thing denied her, but
that she had determined to do battle
with fate until she conquered her
soufs desire.
For myself, she treated me exactly
as she had done five years before

Whv We Shake Hands.

In the barbarous days of old, when
every man had to watch carefully over
his own safety, when two persons met
they offered each to the other the
right hand, the hand that wields the
club, sword, knife or other weapon of
war. Each did this to show that the
hand was empty and that, therefore,
no trouble needed to be feared. The
handshake was the treaty of peace
in a word, the way they had of show
ing each other that they meant to b.
friendly.

alike to man. Have the men on one

With the exception OF the collars.

The Romans under Julius Caesar

what is now England was completed In
the first century OF our era. The Ro.
mans abandoned the island early In
the fifth century and we're followed
soon after by the Anglo. Saxons and
Jutes. who began coming about A. d.
f4o. and completed the conquest du-
ring that and the following centuries,
cxterminating the BrItons and extir.
pating their language. These conquer
ors spoke many dialects which were
afterwards fused into a national Ian
guage called Angle-Saxon. About
sixty per cent OF our modern English
words are Anglo-Saxon. As the En-
terprise says, nearly all the simple
words used In common conversation
are from this source.
| About the beginning OF the siAti
century missionaries were sent from
Rome TO convert the Anglo-saxons. and
these introduced few Latin words
but they were chiefly ecclesiastical
terms. The great bulk OF the Latin
words in modern English. amounting
to about thirty per cent Of the whole
were introduced by the Normans who
conquered England In the eleventh
