EUGENICS AND CHERRIES
By WINIFRED BLACK.

Just one more, who would miss it2 On
the bridge 1 tasted the cherries again,
and under the weeping willow 1 sat
down calmly and ate every single last
one of those cherries, and I hid the
basket and went and asked the neigh
Dor how she was. and then I went
home and told my mother that the
neighbor was delighted with the cher
ries, but that she thought some Of
them were a trifle sour.
Something in my mothers look ar
rested the lie on my lips and burst
out crying and told her the miserab bile,
diSgraceful truth. And my mother
kissed me and cried a little, too, and
then she took me out to the tree and
we gathered another basket almost as
full of cherries as the first one and
my mother said;
Now go, and I'll tell you a secret
You won't eat a single cherry if you
use my secret recipe. Think about
something else all the way and you'll
forget all about the cherries"
And 1 took the little green basket
of sweet smelling grass and / carried
it to the neighbor who had been i'll.
and she said she hadn't tasted any
thing so good in a year, and I sang
all the way home, just because 1
thought about something else all the
way.
I wonder. if it wouldn't be good
idea to try this kind Of plan when
a little girl reaches the wondering age.
Give her something very interesting to
think about all the way. I wonder.

THE HUSBAND QUESTION
The Proposal Expected By the Widow Fails MateaZe and

He did come often-first. twice =

Summer was advancing. The CITY was
at midday, glazing oven of asphalt
and stone
All of Beatrice's friends were Ieav-
ing town. Henry Blanchard had gone
west to his factory in Indiana, to be
absent for a month or more. He wrote
her occasionally, old-fashioned, pom
pous letters which amused her. June
was waning into July. Beatrice's
amusements were few, and her life was
monotonous She looked forward
eagerly to Sidney Randolphs visits.
And Reatrice-she who had cooI1v
set about months ago hunting a hus-
band. as one might search the intelli-
gence offices for a good domestic
found herself fascinated by this man.
He was a clever companion, young,
handsome and prosperous. These quail
ifications set the final seal of her ap-
provaI upon his suit She knew that
her feeling for him was not the kind
that she had given Tom Minor before
her CHASTITY awakening, but Randolph
charmed her, and she decided, if he
loved her, she would accept his hand
with his heart.
A Change.
With all this in her mind she was
quick to detect a change in the mans
usually happy demeanor when he
called one afternoon early in July.
He seemed distracted ana worried and
soon his speech explained the change
that Beatrice had noted.
You can never know what your
companionship, your quick understand
ing of me and my moods have meant
to me through all these weeks that,
but for you, would have been Weari-
some anu wearing" he said ST wish
1 might make you understand now,

Beatrice paled and started. but the
man continued

understand what your companionship

feeling in his tone May 1 come again
tonight and bring with me a little
gift as a parting remembrance 1

September, and meanwhile I want you
to think of me-if you will. May I
