NO CHANCE TO GO WRONG
Statement of Beauty Doctor May
Have Been True, but II was
Not Gallant.

William F. Oldham, bishop of Sing
apore, talked at dinner, on his last
visit to New York, about missionary
work
"A certain type of man" he said,
goes about declaring that we DOM
inant races civilize the savage out of
existence-that we do them harm in
stead of good.
We'll. as a matter of fact, if these
cavaliers knew what | know about
some tribes, they would speak less
confidently. Some tribes are so de-
based that to do them anything but
good would hardly be possible. They
are, In fact, just like the ugly wom-
an who visited the beauty doctor.
This woman was ugly in every fea-
ture, but her nose was particularly
ugly. That, no doubt, was why she
desired the beauty doctor to begin
on II.
81 am willing she said, to pay
you literally, doctor, but / demand in
return substantial results. We will
start with my nose. Can you guar
antee to make it ideally beautiful?'
1.-The doctor, after looking attentive
ly at the woman's nose, replied:
well, madam, can't say as to
ideal beauty, but nose like yours
couldn't help improving if l hit with
a mallet'"

Woman

Never was Marie suspected Of
causing all this trouble Who would
suspect the demure, silent woman Of
thirty who never varied the routine
of her existence? Truly was Marie
Bourette the lily of the Magasins du
Louvre, the old maid content with
her lot, leading a placid life undis-
turbed by domestic annoyances. Lit
tie did her world understand Marie
Bourette, and never did 1t read what
lay behind her little gray eyes watch
ing for Love, watching. but ever in
vain.
At last a man came into Marie
Bourette's life, but oh, he came
such a little way and he tarried so
short time! Any girl in the Maya
sins du Louvre except Marie Bour-
cite, with her love-starved heart,
would have understood the situation
and sent him gayly on his way. But
not Marie! Her heart leaped and
tried to feed on that which never was
offered.
This mans name was Doudieux. He
was a furniture manufacturer who
sometimes came to make purchases at
the shop where Marie worked. Also
he was five years Marie's junior. a
gay, debonnair Partisan youth in
search of adventures, particularly of
the heart.
In 1901 he first began making pur-
chases of Marie, smiling upon her as
a man will when in search Of the best
for his money when shopping. Grad
ually the smiles became pleasant
words, and one evening. being, as we
said before, a young man set upon
adventures, he asked Marie to meet
him at cafe. There were other trysts
at other cafes, but all of the most in
nocent sort. Marie was not seeking
adventure, not she, and when young
Doudieux discovered this fact he

naturally, this parting, that NJ Dou-

Reused Demon Of Jealousy.
Not so Marie! She had come so
near quaffing the cup of love that she
became more and more embittered
with each passing day. From the love
she had never felt nor aroused she
built the hideous phantom that was
destined to lead her into dangerous
paths. And yet the world saw only
a quiet, unpretentious old maid going
to and from her work!
Six months passed and there came
to M. Doudieux's desk a letter signed
"Larenauden." reproaching him for
unfaithfulness to the little blonde
friend of two years back. All, more
than one little blond friend had
crossed the gay Parisian's path In
those youthful days. How could he
dream which one had written the let
ter? He did not worry If he had
worried-perhaps- 1t may have
been Fate!
She wrote again, warning him of
the price Of forgetting a woman he
had once wooed, advising him to Sc
cure a divorce. But he tossed these
anonymous letters, like their prede-
cessors, into the fire.
Finally, she boldly signed her name.
Doudieux, mystifled at first, reads the
name over and over, and finally re-
calls the little shop girl of the Maya

If the recommendation of the orGl- nance committee is adopted by the common council the office Of tree warden will be created at an annual salary of $500.
 The ordinance is the same as Wheh previously adopted by the council ana then recalled for reconsideration. Ene reason for recalling 1t was that 1t was found that the state law made the tree warden ''czar on wheels" be- fore whom everyone who had a tree must L the knee. It was thought when l. matter was recalled that an ordinance might be framed so that the tree warden would not have sufficient power to interfere With the park and street departments but would look after the telegraph and telephone companies whose ines rui'A trees.
 But the city attorney gave the committee an opinion that no orui- nance could be framed whereby tie powers given the tree warden by tue statutes could be taken away frhm them.
 The aldermen discussed this meas ure last night and decided to report in favor of the original ordinance which provides for the filling ot tie office by the aldermen. The only candidate for the office is Harry A. welch, son of Former Alderman Wal lace A. Welch of the Second d1stl1ct.
 The committee voted to report fav- crably upon the division of the Twelfth district into two voting pre- cincts with the center line of Con- necticut the dividing point, the first precinct north of the line and the second precinct taking in all the ter. ritory south of the line.
 Because of the absence of Chair man Finlan of the committee the matter of considering the proposition to have the trust companies made city depositories was not taken up.

HINTS ON LETTER WRITING.

Wien writing letters a woman should
keep in mind the following rules:
Business letters should be concise
and clear. because business people are
supposed TO be busy.
No letter is complete without the
date
In writing TO solicit employment Of
any kind, on no account should per-
sonal perplexities or needs be mem
toned. The world is full OF unfortu-
nate persons, and TO a stranger the
troubles Of one are no more than those
Of host of others.
Letters of introduction are left open
when written.
Elaborately ornamented note paper
and highly perfumed notes are vulgar.
When answering letters remember:
That written words stand as everlast-
ing witnesses.
That an ambiguous sentence is likely
to be misinterpreted.
That a friendly word never harms.
That a written word of sympathy can
sometimes do much good.
That a letter written IN a kindly spir-
It should be answered IN the same way
even though the message is disliked.
That business letters and invitations
must be answered at once.
That a lady acknowledges any friend
