EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

There is something upon which l
should like to have your opinion l
have got into the disgraceful habit of
telling HeS-not lies to hurt anyone but
just little lies to make myself appear
to better advantage q cannot exactly
express it, but you know what 1 mean),
and now I almost believe these things,
and cannot break myself of the habit. Z"
So frank young person confessed to
me in a letter yesterday.
Frank young person, will it be any
comfort to you to know that you have
much company, and much good com
pany, in your foible?
For you certainly have.
If 1 were estimating the proportion
of my acQuaintances-and [ fancy they
are about the same kind of people as
your or anyones acduaintances-who
have this habit to some extent at least,
l should say five out of ten.
And yet the people who are con-
scious of the trick, we'll 1 guess they
are real rarae avis.
Like the lady of the letter most of
the people. who tell these funny little
lies come to believe them themselves.
II have standing offer of $4,000 a
year. announces the newspaper man.
You know he cannot possibly be get
ting over $1,000, and you wonder why
he doesn't accept that offer. AS a
matter of fact that means that sew
eral years ago he had an offer of
$4,000 in distant city. He didn't accept
it because he didn't want to go so far
away, and he has no reason to think
the position is still open, but he has
made that statement so many times
that he thoroughly believes it.
Yes. mother knew Lady L. very
we'll when she was abroad sounds de-
lightful. What it really means is that
mother was introduced to Lady l.
at a charity bazaar and knew her we'll
enough to buy a hand painted horror
from her table.
You know I'm in charge of the Of
flee now the important young man as
sures you Being in charge of the Of
fee sounds as if he had made some
pretty rapid strides since his graduation
from high school two years ago, doesn' t
it? As a matter of fact it means that
two of his superiors being ill, ard a
in charge of two office boys and a
stenographcr for a week.
AS you pass a beautiful dressmak-
ing establishment whose prices have
have always said Abandon hope all We
who enter here" to you, your compan-
ion casually indicates it and informs
you, That's where my sister buys her
gowns" You are duly awed because
you do not know that the basis of that
statement is merely the fact that sis
ter once bought an inexpensive gown
there marked down to '-~'H go price.
And so it goes.
Five out of ten did say? Dear me,
I guess 1 made the proportion quite too
small.
Why, as I think the matter over I be-
gin TO suspect that "all the world ex-
cept me and thee" is guilty.
Don't you?

LOW TEMPERATURES.
Cold Weather Prevails Over Almost
the Entire Country.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Tempera-
lures this morning were below season
able averages in every part of the
country except the north Pacific
caused by an increased barometrie
pressure according to the weather
bureau. Miles City, Mont. reported
the barometer there is reading 31.10
inches this morning, this being the
highest reading recorded in the Unit
ed States in several years.
The increase in pressure has caused
freezing weather as far south as ex-
IRENE north Florida and throughout
the interior of the gulf states while
in the northwest the thermometer
readings are all below zero. Fair,
colder weather will continue tonight
and Wednesday in all districts east OF
the Mississippi.

SALTED PEANUTS THAT ARE
DIFFERENT

Ordinary sailed peanuts are what
is known as number two's. They
are very small, have thick skins and
are insufficiently cleaned
The sailed peanuts you buy here,
are the very BEST grade the mar
ket affords. They are thoroughly
clean, good size and are free from
all shell, stems or pebbles.
We carefully roast them under
the right conditions, using plenty
of good pure butter and fine clean
salt. They're delicious. You should
try them. They sell at zoe lb.
Sailed almonds of similar quality
and the same careful preparation
at soc a pound.
