Then one day a member OF the family
rusned Into the house with glad It'd

vine!
What an assemNlage there was
about that plant! The block was de-
populated temporarily. Amateur az.
riculturists climbed on each others
necks to view the wonder. The head
Of the house inspected 1t through a
magnify!ng glass. His spouse clapped
her hands and exclaimed: AT last
we shall have our own salad from our
own vine" Even the watchman from
q row OF empty houses nearby was
called to look, and he remarked SOL
emnly that he never saw such large
tomato on such a small vine"
Then came along one Of those hor-
ribly practical persons, who said It
couldn't be. and had to have a closer
look. He spoiled It all by his discov-
cry that the tomato had been tied on

To the married woman and to the

find that parties are being given for
n younger set to which they are not
bidden. for the realization that these
younger members OF society are class.
ing them as "old" is not altogether
pleasing. To the married woman this
experience usually comes later than
to the unmarried. for she will be
asked to young gatherings when
spinster several years her Junior will
be omitted. Whether this is because
her husband Is still reckoned attrac.
tive, though married, or because OF
her utility as a chaperon. is an open
question, but the fact remains. Ono
spinster lately confessed that for sev.
eral days after her first experience at
being left out OF party she almost
