SeauuIIs Pursue Hare

A curious and very unusual incident
was described by correspondent of
the Scotsman. While walking over the
golf course at Dunbar his attention
was directed to flock Of seagulls
screaming loudly and making frequent
dashes at something on the turf. This
proved to be a hare running at ton
speed, which the gulls seemed to be
teasing In sport. In his excitement
the hare doubled seward and ran
over stretch Of rocky coast At this
point a long reef forms q natural break
water, inclosing bay about 400 yards
wide and retaining a fair depth Of wa
ter at ebb tide. Into this pool the hare
plunged, swimming across in good
style. with the gulls tapping around
him and screaming their loudest. The
hare reached the outer reef in safety
and made crevice in the rock his
shelter for the time being. The gulls
tried their best to set him going again;
but, like Bier Rabbit, he sat tight
and said nufiin," 90 his tormenters Jew
away, leaving him In peace. = West

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 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
q 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 tippler.
Now and then in her triumphant
progress a junior or 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
them. She liked to bask in the sunlight
of their admiration. she liked to be the
queen Of the junior promenade. she
liked the violets and the blue pennants
and the crowd Of eager boys surround
ing her Mt 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. II ] married you,
what would the other boys dog
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 II was one of the
faculty, Oswald Ware, who accompa-
MED her.

walked toward the great gate that led

through the big gate came another
girl-a little thing with fun Of fair
hair. Tiptilted on her high heels, with
her pink ruffies 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-hutter with the
Joy of the attention she vas exciting,
the other girl came toward Catherine.
"Oh, Miss Newlands," she gurgled,
don't you remember me?'
'Tts Oracle Allendale!' Catherine
said brightly. "Why, Oracle, when did
you grow up?"
The other girl laughed delightedly.
Yesterday, think" she said, when
mother told me that needn't go back
to school. 1 am going to be here all
winter and have the time Of my life"
Her lips answered the older girl. but
her eyes were on the boys. And sud
denly she was swept away. with a
dozen laughing lads in her train. and
Catherine was left alone.

Hints For Ironing Day

When pressing any garment trim
med with lace the lace should be IRON
ed first.
Embroidered muslin should be ironed
on the wrong side, which raises the
pattern.
In ironing colored goods do not use
too hot an iron, as heat is apt to fade
the color.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1912-01-20

If thin goods feel too stiff after hav-
ing been ironed put through water
and iron again.
Muslin should be ironed wet, for II
allowed to dry 1t will have a rough
appearance. Iron on the right side to
give 1t gloss, and iron the way Of
the thread. Finish or by ironing on
the wrong side.
