WANT BARGAINS IN PEWs
Thrifty church-Goers Who Seek Cut Rates Sometimes Will Overlook
 All Other Considerations.

Ministers have so many things to worry about that 1t is pretty hard to add the bargain-hunting habits of their parishioners to their other cares, but some of them are doomed to shoul- der that extra burden. Old members of the congregation are not likely to go out hunting cut-rate pews in other churches, but newcomers who are just deciding upon church home all do it.
 "A reduction of two dollars year in pew rent will fetch the bargain hunter every time,' said a sexton. "Only last week a young woman who expects to make her home in this city concluded that of all city churches of this denomination she liked ours best and would take pew here, but when she found she could get pew that suited her about as well in another church for three dollars year less ahe let all other considerations go by the board and identified herself with that church. The cut-rate pew hunter ts a recognized feature of modern church life Because a new member elects to join our congregation does not at all slightly that he shares our religious convictions or likes the pas tor and our service; it may mean that We charge less for the pew he likes than another church up street"

A Little Lapse.

Very conscious people stumble into blunders almost as often as the slap. dash And their slips are usually worse, because they have to do with particularly horrid contingencies they are morbidly anxious to avoid. For ex' ample, a married pair, most solicitous of the susceptibilities of their guests, asked a certain gentleman, head of a famous piano forte-maKfrs firm to dine.
 My dear said the wife, "you know Mir. Steckmeyer is dining with us to- night, and that he dislikes the slight est allusion to his business in any shape or form"
 "Very good" answered the husband, better steer clear of musical topics altogether" -
 So they discussed politics, golf and the drama and all was well. Towards II came the sound of wheels and the l footman made an announcement 1 "Hey, what's that?" said the sensi- l tive guest. The host cleared his throat, raised his voice, and with a last inward congratulation that shop 1 had been successfully avoided, de. clared across the assembled company "Mr. Steckmeyer's piano is at the door"

Pardon my abruptness, Miss Cit ronella, but will you marry me?"
 Marry you, MT. Bonser? Marry you? Not if you were the last man on earth!"
 Pondering moment, he took a small memorandum book out of his pocket and checked of a name.
 "Well," he said, there's no harm done. It is due you. however, Miss Higgins, that I should explain. You have heard, I presume. of the Great American Novel, but have not seen 1t, because 1t has not yet appeared. l am about to write it. But in order to flt myself for the task I need one or two experiences. I wish to undergo the bangs of rejected lover. have not yet succeeded-and you are the eleventh.
