Tho One TO Paw.

Mrs. George Cornwallis-W West, in q
black gown, was one of the most beau,
tiful women present at the recent mar
riage in London of the prime minis,
ter's son and the Hon. Sylvia Char.
teris, Lord Elcho's daughter.
The presence Of this beautiful
American woman at this political
wedding recalls an anecdote illustra.
tive of her wit in politics.
When she was Lady Randolph
Churchill she consented to electioneer
for Mr.. Ashmead-Bartlett in his first
parliamentary campaign. Mr.. Ash.
mead-Bartlett was married to the
Baroness Purdett Coutts, very rich
woman, who was nearly 40 years his
senior. Lady Randolph, with her
beauty and charms, did splendid work
for the candidate.
To a group of farmers she said one
day:
Wont you promise me to vote for
Mr.. Ashmead-B artlett?''
MY lady," said red-faced farmer
with a chuckle, well all vote for him
if every vote'll be paid for with
kiss"
Thank you very much" said Lady
Randolph. Your offer is accepted.
I'll send for the Baroness Burdett'
Coutts at once"

But she interrupted me. Yes" she
said, $50 far you're quite right But
don't you see, Freddy, dear, that the
Agathas meant to invite are Agatha
First and Agatha Sixth In the first
place, they are the only Agathas of all
the six yet unmarried, and in the sec
ond place, they just happen to be the
two girls Archibald showed the most
interest in at the time you two men
were guests at Castle Wyckhoff for
the first time"
of course" I cried, 81 see it now!
And you think he'll have more of a
chance with them than with strange
girls he's never seen before?"
The secretary, l mean my wife
as l say the other name will slip out
occasionally sometimes when I'm
talking of old times-smiled indulgent-
ly. AS 1 argue it," she said, 'it will
be his only chance. He couldn't hope
to accomplish anything in ten days,
in regard to girl he doesn't know,
and if you will remember, Agatha
Sixth showed a marked liking for him
at that time! A most important point
in favor of his speedy MARRIAGE"
Then why not ask just Agatha
Sixth? Why have Agatha First, too?"
inquired innocently.
Dearest allowed the most delightful
little expression of pity for my linn
tied masculine intelligence to dim the
brightness of her eyes.

A Manche Harvest Custom.

An interesting ancient custom is
observed in Manche at the harvest
time. When the work is on the point
of completion a sheaf of honor is
made and decorated with flowers,
which the farmer himself carries in
procession, surrounded by the har-
vesters. Two of the party, under the
pretext of sweeping the way, raise
cloud Of dust. If in the progress the
procession meets a stranger the girls
offer him some corn from a pewter
plate. If he accepts and makes them
a small monetary present, the girls
kiss him.
But the principal ceremony Is re-
served for the repast, In which curds
occupy a prominent place. When this
part of the menu is reached the girls
each choose one of the young harvest
men and endeavor to force him to
take a spoonful. II the attempt is
success it is taken as an offer of mar
rage on the mans part.

The Power of Good Cooking.

If the girls who desire faithful hus-
bands only knew it, the culinary art is
the surest road to domestic bliss.
Poor cooking has broken up many a
home and severed many a marital
bond. No man who is fed upon indi-
gestible, ill-cooked food can wear
pleasant smile or exercise that optim-
ism which is the strongest influence
for success. Nor can he do himself
justice in his daily task, be it physical
or mental.
Every girl should learn to cook She
may wed a man who can provide her
with servants, so that she never need
put a finger to a feather duster, let
alone a frying pay, but her table will
never be as well served if she leaves
everything to them as 1t will be II
she can detect the cause of poor cook.
ing and teach her servants to remedy
t.
The poor mans wife can effect
great economies by knowing food val.
1es and the best way to convert them
INTO the human system. The rich
mans wife can win fame among her
friends by little study of the finer
points of cooking.
