what, and as soon as she had finished
the letter she called Jabez Wicks.
Jabez is coachman to Aunt Rhinoco-
lura, and has been ever since her leg
got cut off, and he Is faithful fell
low. So he came in and stood re-
specially, and Aunt Rhinocolura read
the letter to him, but as she went on
Jabez turned mighty pale. The trou-
BILE was that Aunt Rhinocolura's coach
was upholstered in dark green, and
Aunt Rhinocolura had dark green
dress of the same shade At first
Jabez shuffled his feet on the floor,
and then he gasped once or twice,
like fish, but Aunt Rhinocolura
looked at him with stern but kind
eye, and so he just said GOSH" like
a man that is so surprised he can't
say any more.
So that afternoon Aunt Rhinocolura
and her hired girl went out into the
back yard and Jabez rolled the coach
out into the light, and they went to
work on him with the package of Alb
solutely Fast Persian Dye. They had
to have the coach so they could match
the color exactly. 1t was pretty
hard color to match.
Aunt Rhinocolura admitted after
ward that it was a mistake to try
dye that was meant for wooden
goods on the human face, and 1t was
not until they had tried and tried
to get the right color that they thought
of reading over the directions, and no
ticed that they said: Boil the goods
in the dye" When Aunt Rhinocolura
read that sort of spasm of fright
passed over Jabez Wicks' face. Jabez
was faithful coachman but he
seemed to have lingering dislike to
being boiled in green dye, and Aunt
Rhinocolura, after she had considered
the matter seriously decided she
would not boil Jabez; 1t might get a
better color, but Jabez wouldn't be
much use as a coachman after he
had been boiled. So they did the best
they could and gave him six coats of
dye, rubbing it in well, and at each
coat he came little nearer the shade
of the coach upholstery, and at last
Aunt Rhinocolura was satisfied and
said he matched 1t well enough. lie
was a rich dark green. except his
hair, which was red, and after Aunt
Rhinocolura had stood on and off and
studied him, she decided his hair was
inharmonious, and she dyed his hail
accordingly.
1t was a proud moment for her and
Jabez when they took their first drive
Aunt Rhinocolura had the blessed sat
isfaction of knowing she was right ii
style. and Jabez had the satisfaction
of knowing he matched the uphol
stery as we'll as possible. 1t was at
fecting to see him lay his hand OF
, the cushion of his seat and gaze at i
with honest pride, and all would have
been we'll if 1t hadn't come on to rain
AS soon as it began to rain Aun
!. Rhinocolura told Jabez to drive hom
as fast as he could, for she hat

Aunt Rhinocolura Betz has long
been the leader of Betzville society
circles, and justly SO, having always
eight more kinds of bottles of face
wash on her toilet table than any 9TH
er lady, but the real reason she
keeps a carriage and coachman is be-
cause of her wooden leg, and not for
style. But If a lady has to have the
accessories of wooden leg she might
as well get all the style out of them
that she can. If my head was very
bald l would keep 1t so highly pol
ished that it would be an ornament.
Five weeks ago last Tuesday Aunt
Rhinocolura received letter from
her cousins wife in Washington that
was full Of brag about her new coach,
that was dark tan in the upholster-

suit, and she said she had got that
particular shade because 1t just
matched her dark tan coachman's
complexion, and that the whole thing
was therefore very stylish.

inform Aunt Rhinocolura what is
