THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

She isn't unusually pretty.
She isn't exceptionally clever.
| She isn't particularly witty.
| She isn't strikingly stylish.
And I don't think even her best friend
would call her exactly fascinating.
And yet she has converted a lover who
was somewhat of man about town into
| a husband who enjoys nothing so much
as his own fireside and who. after six
years Of married life, appears to admire
his wife and delights in her company al
most as much as he did during the tenn
porary alteration of courtship.

why" Well. then, let me give it to you
in q little incident, as l myself saw it,
instead of in direct statement.
A crowd of us were coming homo on the
train from an evening function in a dis

couples and several engages. AS rule

engages chatted or gazed meaningly into
each others eyes, while the welded sat
in meditative silence, or gaZed out the

which the little lady of my tale was
perched beside her six feet Of husband.
you would probably have made wrong
DIAGNOSIS. Ny own attention was first
drawn to them by hearing the husband
laugh out-the ringing laugh OF one genu-
inely amused. I turned to look at them
and saw that the little person was telling
him some incident OF the evening. And
she was telling 1t not in the matter-of-
fact married way but with her hands and
eyes, and with all the effort to please and
amuse that she ever made In her engage
ment days. And her husband laughed
out loud.

dainty gifts for the Christmas season.
Among the new charms there are
spiders web pendants in fine gold, the
spiders being in blister pearls or garnets.
A wing jewel case in leather lined with

the value Of the foot. Though we have

changing to fashions which make the

reported for that period 66S.

normal weekly average for the last five

ties. il will be seen that the increase has
been a steady and obstinate one since
June, when the first indication Of a rise
was noticeable.

week. eighty-eight We're reported in
Manhattan. as against eighty-six the
week before In The Bronx there was
a jump Of ten cases over the previous
week. the number reported being forty

Health Commissioner Lederle said he
had placed a special investigator al work
in that borough TO discover the source
of the typhoid Although the rise in
Manhattan and the other boroughs has
been attributed 10 milk. there is some
uncertainty as to the cause Of the in
