 washroom. This was more than We'll. ington saw, for he went on talking from behind towel:
 Well, If I were a bridegroom and had a bride like that, it would take more than quarrel to send me to another berth"
 The others made gestures which he could not see. His enlightenment came when Mallory snapped the towel from his hands and glared into his face With all the righteous wrath of a man hearing his domestic affairs pub licly discussed.
 Were you allading to me, Mir. Wellington" he demanded. hotly.
 Little Jimmie almost perished with apoplexy: You, you?' he mumbled Why, of course not. You're not the only bridegroom on the train"
 Mallory tossed him the towel again: You meant MT. Lathrop then?"
 Me! Not much!" roared the in- ! dignant Lathrop.
 Mallory returned to Wellington with a fiercer: Whom, then?"
 He was in dangerous mood, and Ashton came to the recue: "Oh, don't mind Wellington. He's not sober yet"
 This inspired suggestion came like a life-buoy to the hard-pressed We'll ington. He seized 1t and spoke thick ly: Don't mind me-Im not shober yet"

Without further discussion she handed him the dog, and he hob bled away.

 Good morning, Mrs. Mallory" snapped Mrs. Whitcomb.
 Mrs. Wellington was rather proud that the random shot landed, but Mar jorie felt most uneasy between the two tigresses: Good morning, Mrs. Whitcomb,' she said There was a disagreeable silence, broken finally by Mrs. Wellington's: "Oh, Mrs. Mallory, would you be angelic enough to hook my gown?"
 "Of course l will,' said Marjorie
 May I hook you?" said Mrs. Whit comb.
 You're awfully kind," said Mar jorie, presenting her shoulders to Mrs. Whitcomb, who asked with mali cious sweetness: why didn't your | husband do this for you this morn ing?"
 IT don't remember" Marjorie stammered and Mrs. Wellington tossed over-shoulder an apothegm: Hes no husband till he's hook bro ken.''
 Just then Mrs Fosdick came out of her stateroom. Seeing Mrs. Whit combs waist agape, she went at 1t with brief, Good morning, every body. Permit me-"
 Mrs Wellington twisted her head to say Good morning" and to ask. Are you hooked, Mrs. Fosdick?"
 Not yet pouted Mrs. Fosdick.
 Turn round and back up," said 1 Mrs. Wellington After some maneu- vering, the women formed a complete circle, and fingers piled hooks and eyes in a veritable Ladies' Mutual Aid Society.
 By now, Wedgewood was ready to appear in bathrobe about as gaudy as the royal standard of Great Brit ain. He stalked down the aisle, and answered the male choruss cheery Good morning With q ramnke "Baw."

Two sisters were married at Bye,

years later they were there again and
their husbands were with them, so
that there could be q double golden
wedding.
A woman wrote the best book for the
Christmas trade. Her name is Sigrid
Undseth. ".She is just as courageous
as any man and at the same. time her
feelings are as tender as those of any
woman. What she writes seems to
have reached perfection in the art of
depicting human character"
Prof. Fridtjof Nansen gave a talk
on education at meeting of the stu
dents society and the way he handled
the Norwegian school system was
terror to the educators and a great
announcement to those who ask for
more practical training in the public
schools. This great objection to the
present schools of Norway is, that
they monkey with too many general
tiles, making the rising generation SUI
perfcial and poorly equipped for the
demands of practical life. Nansen's
slogan is, fewer branches, but more
thorough work.
