BY E. !. EDWARDS.

At the time Of his retirement about
the middle Of the closing decade Of the
last century, the late Rev. B. M. Var
rington. for 81 years rector Of the Epis-
copal church in Greenwich. Conn.,, was
the oldest rector Of his denomination
in continuous service in one church.
Many were the interesting reminis-
cences that he told me OF his long serv-
ice, during which he came to know well
many prominent men and ome but
none Of his stories interested me so
much as the one in which he told me of
the Edwin Booth that the great actors
rector learned to know.
ut was while Booth was playing
Shakesperian characters in the winter
garden in New York city In the early
'~60s-sabout 1863, I should say-that he
built a cottage near the village Of
Greenwich, close to the mouth Of the
Mianus river, and there spent the sum-
mer months" said Mr.. Warrington.
mot long after he a first occupied
the cottage. he called upon me, saying
that he was anxious to become a MEM
Der Of my parish and that whenever he
was at home he expected to attend
church services.

about this.

The Junior Partner Leaves Home
DR.. John G. shapps In 81, Nicholas.

DR.. John G. Snaps in st. Nicholas.
There was not the least particle OF use
in the Senior Partners feeling badly
about 1t, for. with all his skill. he could
do nothing to stop 1t. But 1t was hard to
stand by and see the changes In the Junior
Partner go on. The Senior Partner tried
to shut his eyes and hen not to believe
them-as we always do when we are
brought face to face with something which
we would like to prevent and cannot.
But day by day. the truth forced itself
upon him. And the General Manager felt
1t more keenly than he. They noticed the
difference first in the overlooking Of the
legs and arms, SO that no lap could con-
tain them; then came a kissing hole where
the front teeth had been; the whole body
and even the mind became affected. There
could be no doubt about It; the Junior
Partner was growing!
But while they felt keenly the slipping
away of the sweet little round, warm
Junior Partner, with his round face and
his round hands and his wobbiy talk. they
found that the coming Junior Partner, the
long Junior Partner, was a pretty lovable
sort OF a fellow, after all. Different, of
course, very different. So different that
he seemed to be another chap who had
gradually come into the family Just to
try to make up to them for what they
were losing. And he did first rate. He
knew q thing or two about making him
self sole" did the new Junior Partner.
The long Junior Partner made himself
solid as a rock.
And he did not do 1t by being SO awfully
good, either. Not at all. He had his
ideas about that especially when he found
that life was not just a kiss, a cuddle, and
play.
Finally lie felt tha he could stand it
no longer. It was nothing but kind
linss'' and wipe your feet" and lessons"
and .eat nicely" and don't Interrupt"
and wash your face'' and "sit up
straight" and where have you been?"-
till he became desperate. He stamped in
to the General Manager.
Mama" he stormed, IT am going away.
I just won't stay here!!"
Very well. Your better take some
things with you. You will need them"
So the Junior Partner began savagely to
collect what he wished to take; the har-
monica, the rubber ball. the red slippers,
the game. the paint-box. and a lot more.
There was a good deal to choose from,
for OF course he could not take every
thing. His movements became slower and
slower as he laid aside one thing after
another; but he kept stiffy on. Finally,
he had q Queer-shaped bundle rolled in
the pink pajamas, with one sleeve hang
ing. Then he moved very slowly indeed.
His lip almost trembled.
He must rest before starting out. Such
a troubled and worn little face and such
a limp and silent little figure! Such a diff
fcult scowl to keep: The General Man

If love is blind. he must have a sixth

beauty has unfailingly won the hearts

ties haven't won, but beauty succeeds

reflection on mans intelligence is an

Take six pretty girls. six merely
good-natured girls and six average

curls-before marriage. Afterwards, he
ofen finds these are not the sum of
human bliss. But that. too, IL another
story.
But, fortunately for the fate Of man,
certain influences r working against
the merely pretty girl and certain 9TH

These influences ven up the chances
of matrimony all around and makes
