BOTH SATISFIED.

by Her Friends Clothes


by Her Friends Clothes
When Mrs Hobbs and Mrs. Goblet
returned to their respective homes at
the close OF stockholders day." they
were both obviously satisfied with the
result of the days shopping in the city.
One little incident had given each Of
them, after her own fashion, a large
measure of content.

to her husband. as he sat patiently lis
tening to her account of small happen
ings. We'll, to-day twas borne out by
what l saw in at Ransom & Klein's.
I'VE were both looking for dress
goods for the children-she for plaid,
green and blue, for her Sophie. and
for a dark red for Matte.
1--WE both wanted to see what the
ones we'd half-chosen looked like by
daylight, and 1t so happened that we
started for the place where you can
stand under the skylight at the same
time. Being two counters apart, we
hadn't KEEP watch of each other, and
twas just a happen.
well, the man that was showing
me the goods looked at me kind OF
searching, and then he handed the
piece O. goods over the counter to me-
and he said, You can take it right over
to the skylight yourself, madam and
turned to straighten out some other
goods.
when l got to the skylight, II there
didn't come Ellen Ann, meek as you
please, with little cash-girl carrying
her piece o. goods; and that child new

I'm afraid they took her for one

ers. l felt real sorry for her, and
hurried off SOS not to shame her!"
While Mr.. Hobbs was digesting this
piece of news, Mr.. Goblet was listen
ing to his wifes version of the Incl
dent.
1.-THE clerk looked at me-" she said
land then he beckoned one of the cash
girls, and said to her, real sharp, Take
this to the skylight, and let the lady
look at it.

Japan has killed the last doubt as
to its modern progress by the organi-
zation of "class Of oourtship" for
girls in each of the secondary schools.
The japanese maidens are taught that
II they should be so unfortunate as to
fall in love before becoming engaged
they must conceal the fact. Above all
they must remember that women never
propose. Another thing. they are
warned that well-bred girls do not
exchange photographs with their ad-
mirers. In Japan until now there has
not been any trouble about counting,
and this is the first evidence that the
Japanese maidens need instruction In
affairs of the heart. Glasses to the
contrary, however, the point is main
tained that there is not Juliet under
the sun who does know the exact form

SOME STRANGE DISHES.
Flesh of Lion, Tiger, Elephant, Lis
ard and Adder often Eaten.

Among the most DELICIOUS tid-bits IN
South Africa is lions flesh, which is
in high favor among aborigines and
certain classes of Boer trekkers, says
the Troy Budget. The tiger Is eaten in
many parts of India, not only for its
edible qualities but also because 1t is
supposed to impart strength and cum
ming. Bears flesh, and especially
smoked bears tongue, are most expen-
sive delicacies in Germany. Though
many Europeans have declared 1t tastes
like soft leather and mucilage, the
flesh of the elephant is favorable dish
in Africa and India. A baked elephants
foot is a choice morsel.
In upper Egypt and in Siam croco-
ollie flesh is publicly sold as food, while
in Santo Domingo and parts of Central
America the cayman is eaten, roasted
or boiled.
The green lizard, though Americans
usually associate him with slime, is ed
Enthusiastically relished by many In the
south of Italy and Spain. But they are

bits OF adder. They are also very fond
of the mud tortoise, and drink its
blood, and cook its flesh and eggs. OF
course the frog is well known in
France and the continent, but it Is by
no means a stranger to the American
palate.
In the dessert line 1t is also possible
to enjoy a strange assortment. Rose
buds boiled in sugar and made into a
preserve are eaten by Arabians, while
in China candied rosebuds and jasmine
flowers are equally popular. The COM
mon yellow lily that grows in marshes
and ponds is utilized by the Turks KS
the main ingredient of an agreeable
conserve which tastes something like
brandy. Candied violets are OF course
very common in France, while in Rou-
mania and Bulgaria many flowers are
used for fiavoring.

The wife Of the new viceroy Of India,
Lady Hardinge, is one Of the most
popular women in England. She was
the Hon. Winifred Sturt, daughter OF
the first Lord Arlington, who was
popularity known by the nickname of
Bunny" Lady Hardinge has not In
herited her fathers peculiar rabbit
like features, but is a very charming
and pretty woman, also wonderfully
gifted. Lady Hardinge is probably the
finest amateur violinist in England,
and she owns a fine Stradivarius. Her
musical talents have gone far to
strengthen the high favor in which she
has been held ever since her childhood
by Alexandra, the dowager queen, who
is p~assionately fond of music and who,
though she does not play the violin
herself, prefers it to all other instru-
ments.
Ever since Lady Hardinge's mar
riage she has been a lady In waiting to
Queen Alexandra and from girlhood
has been the most intimate friend of
the queens daughters. Sir Charles and
Lady Hardinge have two boys, the
eldest just eighteen, and u girl of ten,
who r~ejoices In the Christian name of
Diamond. This singular name was
given the child In honor of the late
King Edwards horse Diamond, which
won the Derby in the diamond jubilee
year a few days before the birth of the.
little girl who bears the name.

A MODERN SCALPER.
The Little 0medy That Was Played
Between the Acts,

Between the Acts.
A little comedy between acts enliv-
ened things at a Broadway theater one
night last week. A middle aged man
accompanied by his wife sat directly
behind a pretty young girl and her es-
cort. At the end of the first act the
middle aged man went out for fresh
air." He came back bringing the smell
of the fresh air and gayer spirits with
him His wife gave him a startled
glance, and like a fash her hand went
up to his vest. There dangling from
the top button vas a bunch of brown,
curly pufs. There was a dynamltical
second as the wife held the purs 10
her white gloved hand and looked at
them. Now she was not a Jealous
wife-just a common sense little wo-
man, ready to meet an emergency.
She looked at the heads about her.
The pretty girls back hair looked as
II a piece had fallen out. The wife
leaned over to the side away from the
girls escort and whispered. The girl
slipped a hand down and back, and
the wife stealthfiy laid the bunch Of
pufs which her husband had carried
away on his vest button In the owners
hand. The latter Kept them concealed,
gently and artfuily reached up. pinned
them into place, and escort. watching
the rising curtain. was none the wiser.

Tho Mental Jam Pot Defended.

It's so easy to get on with DR.. Woods
Hutchinson. He loves to come out
bravely and tell us that we ought to do
just what we want to do, and how
popular that does make him with ev-

He reminds one Of a fond parent
who was taken to task by his wife for
not being more strict with their small
daughter. He was told that he did not
discipline her sufficiently.
Discipline herr, he exclaimed in
astonishment. why should l disci-
pine her when we always want to do
the same thingY'
1t was no case for discipline-if small
daughter wanted to dip into the sugar
bowl or pull flowers out of her moth
er's garden that seemed to her good
father to be the eminently proper thing
to do at the time.
And so it is with Woods Hutchinson.

mensely by telling us that we really
ought to eat candy and that the jam
