Wasted Time at Home.

II it Is true. as many old fashioned
people believe. that we shall be called
to account on the last day for every
minute wasted, what q lot Of time we
women will have to account for!
When l hear an acquaintance say
she has no time to read, for instance
l know she Is wasting precious min
utes In some part Of the day.
The people who are the busiest are
those who have time for everything
because they systematic.
l know one woman who does her
own homework and has children be-
sides, and l give you my word that
woman is up to date on every subject
of the hour.
She reads the morning paper while
the baby is going to sleep after Its
bath. She may not follow every line
Of it. but she reads the heads and the
more important items. She always
keeps a good book in her kitchen, and
while her dinner is cooking she reads
instead of sitting idly. as SO many do
If her husband is late coming home
she does not walk up and down and
fret; she puts the dishes in the hot
oven and becomes interested in a new
article in magazine In this way she
has something Interesting to tell him
when he does arrive. instead OF nag

glass cases which were dazzling the
bewildered eyes Of Mr.. Avery.
This Is q Partisan hat" she said
with q grand manner that disarmed
criticism. And a wonderful bargain,
only $25v'
twenty-five Well, the dues and
initiation fee of the club would amount
to more than that If Edith liked it
Isn't it-rather large?" he faltered.
"I'm sure this is the right thing
she said, with increased confidence
Il think I remember a lady of that
description admiring this hat and say
ing she might come back and buy it
Ii her husband was willing"
That didn't sound like Edith, but it
furnished a clew. and Mr.. Arthur
Avery was tired and felt very helpless.
There really seemed nothing to do but
to order the hat sent home.
Mrs. Avery came in with a friend
that afternoon and saw the box. which
the maid had placed in the middle Of
the bed.
Laura, look at that" she exclaimed
apprehensively. Hes bought me a
hat-bought it himself!'
'Oh. how lovely" cried the friend:
II don't know about that! I'm
afraid to look at it. There was just
one hat l wanted, and l never allow
any one, not even Arthur, to choose
for me-"
"Oh. Edith, hurry and open it! I'm
sure It's all right It's so good Of him.
l wish N.Y. But she stopped short
as Edith suddenly opened the box and
stood transfixed in horror.
Laura Glenn. will you look at that!
And they don't-exchange-hats!"
She slowly drew it from its tissue
paper wrappings and held it up in all
its blue and pink radiance.

Blacksmith IS
Too Strong for
the Policeman
Wins in Two Straight Falls Before
Small Crowd at Washington
Hall.

Policeman C. A. Jensen was outclassed
IN his wrestling bout with Blacksmith Jack
Meyers at Washington hall last night, the
pride OF the force losing in straight falls.
Meyers was the aggressor throughout, lem
sen being beneath during most Of the thlr-
teen minutes the men were on the mat.
Meyers took both falls with a half Nelson
and bar hold, the first taking him seven
minutes and forty seconds; the second four
and a half minutes.
AS a preliminary Mark Chester and Will
liam Rubie wrestled to a draw, putting up
a very clever exhibition. Ruble won the
first fall in seventeen minutes with q half
Nelson and bar lock, while Chester took
the second bout in fourteen minutes with
a crotch and half Nelson. After wrestling
ten minutes in the third bout Referee John
Holden called time, the men having con-
scented to a draw IL neither secured a fall
after ten minutes
Owing to the inclement weather the at
tendance was very small and neither Of
the principals in the main bout were
worked up to any pitch Of enthusiasm.
W.. M. Hokuf challenged the winner and
will likely meet Meyers on Friday evening
OF ext week.
