Hunoarlan Banks.

Paul Nash, the American consul gen.
eral at Budapest, in his report to the
department, reviewing financial con.
ditions in Hungary. shows that every
branch of industry IN that country Is
financed by banking concerns; run
ming from the manufacture Of ma
chinery to the export of nuts. and yet
there has been only one bank failure
of Importance In 40 years. The assist
ance of the banks Is necessity for
Hungarian industry because the In
dividual investor, as In most agricul
tural countries, does not regard manu-
featuring with any degree of enthusi.
asm, and but for the banks and the
government little progress would be
made toward industrial Independence.

BIRDS ORA.
F EAT FL Err
BY TEMPLE BAILEY

Copyright, 1870 by Associated Literary Press.)
When Ward Davis heard that her
name was Jennie Wright, he smiled
and said: 1T ought to be Jennie
Wren"
He had noticed that she wore sober
little gowns to class, gowns which
contrasted strangely with the pinks
and blues and heliotropes of the
other girls at the summer school,
She had sober manner, too, which
was relieved by a birdlike brightness.
And she went on her sedate and busy
little way alone, studying hard while
ushers danced and played cards, or
ate shore dinners at neighboring
beaches.
To Ward she seemed, In spite Of
her intellectual occupation, closely
allied to the women he had known in
his childhood. She seemed the type
who would be busy about household
things. He was glad when he dis
covered that her work In the winter
was In kindergarten. There seemed
an eternal fitness In the fact that she
lived daily with little children. But
now and then, the thought came to
him that she would be at her best
grooming lullaby at her own hearth
stone.
Such thoughts never entered his
head when he made merry with the
other grown-up scholars who were
seeking the knowledge that should
advance them In the professions.
Most of these other women were
bright, scintillating, beautiful crea-
lures, who seemed made for fun and
frivolity. Those who were not beau
tiful and brilliant were intellectual
machines. whom no man could seek,
because they would not admit the
need of masculine companionship.
Ward Davis. having taught English
to countless students, both In the
summer and the winter schools
of the university, could not quite un-
derstand his interest in Jennie
Wright. Girls had come and gone,

For a BrIde-EIect.

So many Of my letters are from just
the dearest girls in the world who
count themselves among the bread
winners; and every once and while
some one Of them Is married, and
then all her good friends want to do
all they can In way. of showers and
wedding gifts. When such an occa-
sion comes l have many queries as to
how and what should be done. Now
this Is the way ten girls in an Office
did when one of their number was to
marry young doctor with very little
money but splendid fellow for all
that. They called meeting and de-
cided that at the most three dollars
apiece was all they could spare for
both wedding gift and a shower, SO 1t
resolved itself into this admirable
plan. They invited the bride-to-be to
spend Saturday afternoon with them
at the home Of one Of the girls and,
when the tea was served, they pre-
sented the honored guest with a half
dozen teaspoons, half dozen forks
and half dozen pearl-handled knives
and told her this was her wedding
present from the ten. They selected
a stock pattern, 80 that at any time
more silver could be added, and they
left the marking to be done as the
bride wished. I think this was most
sensible and satisfactory thing all
around and the combination Of funds
made fine showing. much more prac-
tical than If each girl had tried to put
her three dollars into separate gift.

At country house, just before be

delightful luncheon given for eight
city guests. Every thing was sugges-

asters and the centerpiece was a
brown basket filled with all sorts of
fruit. After the repast there was a
game of bridge with grape Juice serv-
ed frcm punch bowl with lunches Of
purple and white grapes hanging over
the edge. The effect was lovely and
all exclaimed "How pretty" For
prizes the hostess had arranged bas-
kets of vegetables and fruit all grown
on the place. and put up daintily with
flowers on top.

Of marriage for himself, he had
thought he would select a wife of
rare attainments, with culture and
beauty. He had made up his mind
that no teacher or toiler should
