SHE HAD A BETTER PLAN,

It was the dreamy hour after the Christmas dinner. and the girls were talking in the hushed tones appro- priate to the occasion.
 I've just heard of a new charm to tell whether any one loves you and, if so, who it is," whispered Elsie.
 What Is it?" queried Sophie, ab. sentE lingering her new diamond ring
 Well, you take four or five chest nuts, name each of them after some man you know, and then put them on the stove, and the first one that pops is the one that loves you"
 "H'm," said Sophie, 'I know bet ter way than that"
 Do your"
 Yes, indeed. By my plan you take one particular man, place him on the sofa in the parlor, sit close to him with the light a little low. and look into his eyes. And then if he doesn't pop you'll know it's time to change the man on the sofa"

 II think they are mems intellectual superiors." Miss Ecob contradicted
 Prove it." cried the banker warm ly.
 "Glancing at his thin locks, the young girl smiled and said:
 Does a bald-headed man buy hair restorer by the gallon?"
 "Hm-well-yes, suppose he does, the banker admitted. batting his ill-thatched scalp ruefully.
 Well" said Miss Ecob. "a wo- man q esn't waste her money on hair restorer, She buys hair"

A MODERN ROMANCE. Lo &n lAS.A 2I

''Is 1t safe to love mel"
 It was evening Their hands elapsed, the two lovers sat together their hearts and minds filled with the greatest problem of modern times
 You mean-?" he said, gently
 If we love each other too much, we might possibly forget ourselves and get married?" she replied.
 You overlook" he replied, your strong convictions on the subject, and your training, which has been dead against marriage"
 True, but l might yield"
 If you did, would I not be by your side to prevent your taking this rash step?"
 But you yourself might yield"
 What! With the cost of living as high as it is? Never!"
 She sighed and looked across the lake.
 Then you think" she said, that we are perfectly safe? You think that we can devote an hour a day to each other until We have tired of this love, and that 1t will not in- terfere materially with our civic duties? You think that nothing harmful will come of it:"
 Nothing but what, to many of our friends, will seem a foolish waste of time," he replied bravely. But who cares for that?"

ANOTHER DANCE AT ESTER
