LACKED SECOND SIGHT

OLD Skimpenny was bit of a miser,
and especially so in the matter of food.
He had hot beef on Sunday, cold beef
on Monday, minced beef on Tuesday,
beef tea on Wednesday, beef tea and
water on Thursday, water on Friday,
and on Saturday he tasted. By these
means did he contrive to make a small
joint last a week.
One day he invited company "a
business friend, whose cultivation would
be financially beneficial, he calculated.
"My fare is very plain,' said old
Skimpenny, alphabetically, as they sat
down to dinner very plain indeed,
you know"
"Never mind" assured the business
friend; Il IN not accustomed to
dainties. -
"'Therel said old Skimpenny, as
two exceedingly small chops were placed
upon the table. ''You see your din
ner, sir?"
"Quite So" replied the business
friend, cheerfully, forking them both on
to his plate; "but 1 don t see yours. "

Spelling THE DAY

THE Scotch are a grand people, and
they have their own views on funerals.
The wife of a Glasgow man lay dying,
and on her deathbed she asked request
Of him. 81 know you den t like my
mother, and she hash t behaved well to
you; but l want you, when I am dead,
to ask her to my funeral. l should hate
to feel that she would not be there. Tho
man was devoted to his wife, and so he
said, "Well, Jeanne, [ Gamma refuse you
onything, so it shall be as you wish.
Then he heaved a deep sigh, and added,
dolefully, "But it will spoil the day!"

THE ELIGIBLE BORE

THE modern girl is forever being forced
to listen to the wisdom of the modern
cynic upon that overwOrked topic, 1.-THE
marriage problem says a writer in the
AcGdemy. OF course, she has long been
convinced that the cynic really knows rather
less about the subject than she had forgot
ten before she lett school, Yet sometimes
the cynic does hit the right nail, and when
he informs the modern girl that she is no
longer taught to regard marriage as a lot
terry, but as careful investment, he is not
a hundred miles away from the truth
In this way the practical modern girl,
with one wave of her cool hand, dismissos
the first consideration of romance At the
same time she limits her range of possible
husbands to those young men VINO are
bound to get on in the world''; who are
'plodding good fellows' who always
catch their morning train, and mean to d.
so throughout their lives; whose amuse-
ments are those of ten thousand oChef
young men; and whose views upon life gen
orally are as nearly of the same q1ality AMI
pattern as the suits they wear because they
are the orthodox costume of their Cl-Ss In
other words, the marriage prospect of the
modern girl in more than one circle of So
ciety has been reduced to that of wedding
the eligible bore.
Unfortunately, although an excellent
young man in most respects, the eligible
bore can only be regarded as exacting sheer
hard work from the girl who tries to fall in
love with him. She never succeeds There
is always some thoroughly lovable but mat
rlmonially impossible man in the back
ground, who could only have existed, in the
manageable sense, in the days of love in
cottage and practically nothing in the bank
Still, the modern standard of matrimOny
compels the modern girl to devote herself to
the task OF endeavoring to love the eligible
lore, of talking to him, and attempting to
shut herself within precisely that corner Of
the earth which suffices for the amusements
and ambitions of this sound matrimonial in
vestment.
The eligible bore of to-day becomes the
he might almost be warranted to turn into
the stock article, which seems so unenviable
to the girls who are not sufficiently modern
to regard marriage as either an investment
OF catastrophe to be avoided No one
need have word to say against the eligible
bore when he has undergone the Sigh;
change of settling down." Indeed he is
to be seen and met by hundreds and thou
sands in suburban trans, trains and motor
buses, still Flooding, sill excellent, still
content-Only with rather less excitement
and pleasure than befCre-st141 the same in
evltable bore, for whom the modern girl is
making herself responsible because she is
taught to look upon her ideals Of love and
her ideas of married life as two matters as
incompatible as collection of poems and a
check book
