no sugar to give his bride except that
gift, so he thought he might as well
make her a present of that, as long as
he got it for nothing from a gent that
he knew when he was a kid
Il don't like the idea of dogs in the
city. George. They amt no good for
nothing. What's the use of having
them for watch dogs when you amt got
anything in the fiat to watch? The
only place for a dog is the country
anyway, and the more I see of city
George, the more it seems to me that
the country is as good a place for hui

better

that she wasn't in the mood to like

terious: such a one was the fair Edna
one of the most beautiful girls | have
ever seen. She had brown eyes as big
as teacups, and while she hardly ever
said anything. she looked unutterable
things. You would feel those big. brown
eyes gazing at you even when your back
was turned. and as if drawn by some
wonderful magic you would ask, What
is it?" trying to fathom the mystery
behind that deep, searching glance of
hers. But she always answered, Moth
ing"
Edna married a very rich man. She
is still mawelously beautiful and in
her face is the mystery of the Sphinx.
She never mars this impression. for
she seldom says anything. Her hus-
band adored her until he found out that
behind this wall Of mystery there was a
perfectly vacant brain thing which
we could have told him before his mar
riage
They are divorced now, and she is
about to marry No. g who has also
succumbed to the charm of the silent,

SOME MARV OF
STEAMER TITANIC

The White Star liner Titanic was the
largest steamer In the world. She was
a sister ship to the Olympic, but larger
even that that vessel The great liner
carried 500 first-class passengers on this
trip. Her full passenger capacity is 1000
600 in the saloon, 500 in the second
cabin and 1900 in the steerage.
The Titanic. like the Olympic, possessed
the great length of SS2 feet Inches and
a beam of ~ feet inches.
Fifteen watertight bulkheads divided
the great vessel and these were thought
TO make her unsnkablc. even though half
of her compartments should be filled with
water. Eleven steel decks added to the
Titancs staunchness. while an idea of
the vast Droncnading space may best bo
understood when it is stated that the
main promenade deck alone had an un
broken sweep of 100 yards on either side
OF tho ship.
Besides the main dining salon, which
had seating capacity for nearly 500
passengers. there was an Ia carte res
200 passengers; a Partisan cafe and a
palm room.
The size Of the state rooms was also
one of the remarkable features OF the
sea giantess. They varied from s feet To
8 feet inches in height Some OF the
two-bcrth cabins were II feet by 10 feet
s inches In size, There were no four
rooms, Ssx10t feet. had been provided.
A great swimming pool, squash racket
court, gymnasium and the Turkish baths
were all close together on a lower deck.
