low square, and, to add to It all, in
through the big gate came another
girl-a little thing with a fluff of fair
hair Tiptilted on her high heels, with
her pink ruff1es floating about her, she
was like wild rose.
The boys on the campus fence bent
eagerly to watch the new arrival, and
the freshmen, debarred from the fence,
but hanging in groups about the big
gate, asked the question that had so
often thrilled Catherine Newlands:
"Who is she?''
Laughing and all a-fiutter with the
joy of the attention she vas exciting,
the other girl came toward Catherine.
"Oh, Miss Newlands,'' she gurgled,

Catherine was left alone.

A curious and very unusual incident

plunged, swimming across in good

When the boys came back to college,
Catherine Newlands displayed rejuve-
mated charms. The enforced quiet of
the summer season in the dull old
town had rested her, had frightened
her eye and given a tinge of color to
her cheeks.
AS she crossed the campus that first
morning in a scarlet sweater and
white linen skirt, with her tawny
hair in a big knot low on her neck,
a half dozen of the freshmen turned
to look after her.
Catherine felt their admiration with
a thrill of qualification For ten years
she had basked in the delight of max
ing that first impression on the new
boys, and it was like draft of old
wine to a tippler.
Now and then in her triumphant
progress a Junior or a senior stopped
her and greeted her with frank friend
illness. That was one of the advan-
tages of an affair with Catherine New
lands. She knew how to shade love
affair off into a good comradeship, and
the boys. who in their freshman years
had been her adorers. came for advice
in their later love affairs.
For Catherine would have none of
of their admiration, she liked to be the
queen of the Junior promenade, she
liked the violets and the blue remnants
and the crowd of eager boys surround
ing her at the football game. She liked
to sing Down the Field" for them and
to have them cheer her at the end.
She liked to lead in their college yell,
and the roar of their young voices was
music in her ears. But that was all!
You are too young" she would say
frankly as some stricken youth would
plead 'and, besides, if l married you,
what would the other boys do?"
A lot of her old friends crowded
around her as she reached the library
steps, and there was a fringe of I'M
conquered freshmen in the background
But when she presently detached her
self from the group it was one of the
faculty, Oswald Ware, who accompa-
MED her
Dear old boy she said as they
walked toward the great gate that led
out into the city street, Its so good to
have you back"

with a touch of irritation. Heaven

He was bareheaded, and Catherine
glanced affectionately at his gray
streaked temples.

then as her eyes swept the scene-the

over the boys, the boys themselves, of
the best college type, graceful, 1.-THE,

training that should make men of them

They are lot of cubs gloomily.

Sixty Million Ticks.

1t was very dark night and the
clock that stood on the floor in the cor
ner, having nothing else to do, began
to count its own ticks In a minute it
found it had licked 100 times. Then it
began to wonder how long it could
keep on ticking at that pace and found
it would have to tick more than 1000
times in an hour, nearly 100000 in a
day and more than 100000 times in a
yeari
"Sixty Millions 1t gasped- Good

PLAYED WITH CARDS.
An Entertaining Game That Calls For
Quick Thinkinq.


Menagerie is a game that can be
played by any number of persons, each
of whom has a full pack of cards and
takes the name of any animal, reptile
or bird Each player shuffies his pack
and then places it, face downward, on
the table before him. The first player
(who is selected in any way the com
pany choose) then takes his top card
and places it, face upward, where all
may see it. Each in turn, toward the
left, does the same, and on the second
and succeeding rounds the card that
each turns is placed on the first, form
ing a second pile of cards for each
player, this second pile facing upward
When any one turns over a card that
is the same as any other on the table
that he can see he must call out the
assumed name of its owner, and its
owner must call out his assumed name.
Whichever does so first must give the
other all of his cards that are face
upward. These must be turned over
and placed at the bottom of the un-
used pile.
He who first gets rid of all his cards
wins, but the game may continue till
one of the players is left with all the
cards on the table
Instead of names of animals any
others may be chosen

Robs the Hammer Of Its .rerror..

Women are supposed not to know
how to use q hammer. There are many
of them that are not successful in the
gentle art, and others are quite as pro-
fcient as men. A timely suggestion
for those women who are not accom-
plished in driving a tack may save
them from having the hammer mer-
cilessly come down on their fingers
when a well dealt blow has been struck
which was intended for the tack In
stead. In putting a tack into place
and hammering it solid there, where It
is difficult to hold it with the fingers,
thrust the tack through a strip of pa
per, hold the strip of paper and place
the tack where you wish it and then
hammer. The strip of paper can al
ways be torn away from the tack. In
this way you will keep your fingers
from getting under the hammer and
your temper from getting the best OF

Verses S-11.-The summons.
Jesus was born in lowly circum-

coming was to bring ''succor speedy"
to the whole human race. This fact is
seen in the place of his birth and the
people to whom it was first announced.
Shepherds The day has gone by
when the profession of shepherd was

now belonged to it. Their calling was
such that they could not avail them
selves of the means of grace, and

HANDKERCHIEF CASES.

How to Make the Popular Heart
Shaped Variety.
New handkerchief cases are heart
shaped. Smart cases Of this type are
shown in the art needlework places,
but any woman who sews can make
one with small trouble
Cut a paper pattern of a heart, ten
and one-half inches at its widest part
seven and one-half inches from tip to
division OF lobes and each lobe two
inches longer. Experiment with the
pattern until the heart is well shaped
and proportioned.
Cut six pieces over this pattern, two
each Of cotton batting. lowered ere
tonne and a plain toned Saline. Make
the two sides of the case by. turning
the Saline and cretonned right side to
right side, with the cotton batting on
top of the Saline. Basic carefully.
Stitch on the machine, leaving only
opening enough to turn, and blind
stitch the remaining space.
When the two halves are finished
join them with white silk braid an inch
wide. Sew it fat on right side of the
upper heart, then sew to the same
depth on the right or cretonne side of
the under heart. This gives a slack of
braid between the two pieces to hold
more handkerchiefs.
Leave few inches of opening at top
just wide enough to put in the hand
kerchiefs easily. This should be bound
with the white braid on each half be-
fore they are Joined. Finish with a.
small bow of ribbon in middle of the
heart on right side.
Before basting the cotton batting to
the material open and fill thickly with
Florentine orris and violet powder in
equal proportions.
These heart shaped cases may be
made up in a variety of materials,
though the cretonnes are new and pop
ular.
