ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

Saturday night there was a rumor about town that one of the well known young men was to be mar ried: he is a boOkkeeper in one of Mesas largest stores. and the clerks chaffed him unmercfully Saturday evening all of which he took in good part This morning his desk bore a great bunch of orange blossoms. and during the morning some friends came in and presented him with a boutonniere of the same fragrant blossoms which he pinned on his coat with as much nonchalance as though he really had been welded. But it all came out after awhile that he thought he would humor the boys as long as they wanted to jolly him, and Jack is really not married-yet

Every nail-keg in the store had its

An expectant grin went round the

son Which Woman Can Fix Up
for Herself.

OF inexpensive trimmings that a
woman can manage for herself there
is almost no end this season. The old
fashioned cross-stitch has entered the
lists against the more elaborate embroi-
deries, and has won a place of its own
in its first season. 1t is effective, in
expensive and very easy, says the De
lineator. You can work in bright col
ored wool on chiffon and other trans
parencies, or In ordinary embroidery
floss on your cotton blouses. 1t works
up In no time even in inexperienced
hands, and 1t has all the best houses
in Paris to vouch for its good charac-
ter from the fashion standpoint 1t
makes very good looking trimming
for the bottom of tunics and f1ounces,
and for the edges of surplice waists
and oversleeves. A wool cross-stitch
answers the same purpose as bead en-
broidery, giving a little weight to
sheer materials, and it costs even less
than the porcelain beads.

While the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis

Friend Few Philosophical
Reflections.

Capt Archibald w. Butt, the presi-

bed at nine o'clock one morning to
answer a telephone call

other end of the wire, Il called you
up to tell you that | shall not be able
to keep the appointment | made with
you for eleven o'clock today"
I'm sorry" said Butt, his tone
trifle chilly
Yes; it's too bad" agreed the
other
There ensued an ominous pause.
You know" remarked Butt senten-
tiously, "telephoning seems to be a
habit, a bad habit, In Washington.
People are beginning to issue their
invitations by telephone. They phone
on the slightest provocation. They
don't seem to know when rot to tele-
phone. They even get you out of bed
to talk to you on the telephone"
I'm afraid l annoyed you. and
you're bawling me OUT said the
friend.
"Oh, mol" contradicted Butt in a
louder tone. MY remarks are merely
a few philosophical reflections induced
by the early hour of the morning. -
