A Study In Grean


He got OF the Pullman, lit a per
TUNED cigarette and began to walk the
platform. He was q tall young man.
and little too thin in the legs for his
height. but his shoulders were wide
enough; his tailor had seen to that.
As he swung along the platform
with studied stride imported from
Pail Mall. he was picture for a cloth
iers artist. His cap was green, not a
vivid green, bU' q subdued sort OF au-
tumn green His clothes matched his
cap. His green trousers were rolled
up displaying a pair OF bilhard-table-
green silk socks. There were green
laces in his shoes. and his necktie was
green, with q green stickpin in 1t. and
on the hand with which he carried his
perfumigator SO gracefully was a
large green set ring.
He was a beauty, all right. The
only thing we would have changed
about him was the self-conscious look
on his proud young face. As the con-
ductor shouted Aboard" we were
sorry to see the young man fall on his
hands and knees in his haste to get
up the steps and out OF our vulgar
midst.-Newark IN. j. Newa.

Collecting Old GIass.

The Vaccinations Of old glass have
never rivaled those Of old china, yet
the variety and beauty Of even a small
glass collection will surprise those
whose collecting thoughts have always
turned elsewhere. says House Beauti-
full.
But glass is so colorless." says the
devotee OF blue Starordshire. 1T looks
so insignificant when compared with
old blue" Quite true. But why COM
pare 1t with blue china? Placed near
the rich tones of Clews or Wood il be-
comes quite vapid. But why group
glass and china together? The com
oination is as incongruous as ivory
and eggshell porcelain, copper and
brass. The delicacy Of glass makes
china seem heavy, and the deep tones
OF china cause glass to become lifeless.
Glass needs a cabinet to itself, where
It will develop a wealth OF color pos
sibilities.

morning, when the day is young, fresh
from the hand Of God. 1t is a new

Then and Now.

When young man came a-wooing
In the old days. the entire family didn't
take to the fire-escape so as to give
him a chance. The stern parents stood
guard over the girl. and put the lover
to his mettle to steal a moments con-
verse with her, or press her hand in
secret. Wherefore, there were many
Opponents and few old maids.
The man who can't be driven in at
the front door with a club to see a
girl who is dying to see him, is ready
to break his neck climbing up to a
window to get a glance from a maiden
who will maybe look at him, and may
be won't-Toledo Blade.
Vegetable Marrow Squash.
Vegetable marrow squash, a great
favorite in England. is coming into
favor here very rapidly. The sauashes
are white and notified green varieties
and should be gathered before the
seeds harden. Too long on the vines
tends to tougher the meat Vegetable
marrow should be peeled and cut in
small pieces, the seed part cut out and
thrown away. Drop cut pieces in salt
water, and cook until tender. Drain
and pass through colander. Return to
pan uncovered, and allow to steam on
back OF stove. Add one teaspoonful
butter and little pepper. Serve hot
Vegetable marrow can also be fried
baked and stewed.

The Grocer,s Natural Mistake.

Mr. Dash was a grocer with lofty
social aspirations. and he decided it
would be beneficial to his status to
join the local golf club. In due course
he presented himself on the links,

services OF a hardened caddie. The

horid style OF speech affected by a
certain congressman who Invariably

lowing ribald observations from an op-
ponent:
