Her unishment

she's eagerly waiting and watching for
his letters.
Then, too, 1 suppose he's awfully
busy. They say that successful young
business men usually can't get on with
girls at all, for their time is almost
never their own. And then his poor
arms must get so tired writing his
memoranda and getting out his reports
that he ought to be praised for writing
at all Poor boy! It's mean of me TO
be resentful. suppose he does his
best. And 1t must be fearfully lonely
for him out there, and I suppose he just
waits and waits for my letters.
Much Different.
Lets see. He did say that he walked
to the postoffice every night for the
mail. Think how disappointing it must
be to find nothing from me, day after
day. He might cease going for the mail
altogether if he thought no one would
write. Goodness! What If l waited
three weeks and then he didn't think
it worth while to go for his mail any
more. and he'd never get my letter.
And I'd sit here thinking he just
wouldn't answer. That's the way most
trouble starts. I'm not going to let it
start that way for US, II can help it,
i've made this letter just as formal
and unconcerned as I possibly could, 3"
she said. Then she glanced through her
letter "Oh, I thing it sounds awfully
cold, considering the fact that we're
engaged, I'll just add a postscript and
try TO make him see how much l care
for him"
She scrubbed away until the post
script was five pages longer than the
letter. Then she looked at her watch.
Goodness! 1 suppose the poor boy is
counting the hours to see when a letter
can get back to him. And he's so busy
that the days just fly. I'm sure he
didn't mean to wait so long before writ
ing.
"Oh, what's the use! I'll just put on
my coat and run to the mail box to
catch the next mail with this letter.
Poor, lonesome boy!'

He Knew the Difference.

In a small village lived a gentle
man whose name was Peacock, and
his great hobby was the breeding of
turkeys, of which he always kept a
large quantity in a paddock in front
of his house adjoining the roadway,
which was a great attraction to the
public
One day a traveller passing that
way mingled with a little crowd that
was watching their antics, and ask
ed:
Whose turkeys are those?"
A youth replied: They're Pea
cocks"
Traveller: 81 asked whose turkeys
are those?"
Youth answering AGAIN.: They're
Peacock's."
Traveller excited, and boxing the
youths ears): you young fool, do
you think l can't tell peacocks from
turkeys?"

Things Worth Remembering

The latest innovation of fashion is
to be found in smoking Jackets for
ladies. The fashion was first started
in New York and very soon reached
England A woman's smoking jacket,
however, is not the weIl-worn, musty
looking, plush garment so dear to a
mans heart The more elaborate ones
are made of gorgeously embroidered
crepe de chine, silk broche crepe, or
other dainty materials. But there is
a severer type also cut like a mans
plain coat, more suitable than any Of
the others for smoking room wear.

The Manicure
Lady
By WILLIAM +. KIRK.

AA u
Manicure Lady, that as jour
ney through life every July
seems hotter than the last July
through which I have passed. I am
that near steaming to death right
now that could go to Greenland's icy
mountains and stay there the rest of
my life. I never chummed with no
Eskimos; but just this minute it
seems to me that they would be the
cutest little playmates. Why is it
that a lot of regular folks like US has
to stay in the city, George, and let
them society people have all the
yachting trips2"
It's too hot for me to dope It out"
said the Head Barber, who looked
like an overworked stoker. 81 can't
see why there has to be any hot
weather like this at all The farmers
say that it is too hot for crops, and
outside of raising crops what good is
such a thing as warm weather.
wish I could Just frame Il so that
could go somewhere and find a eli
mate that was about 60 degrees all
the year around"
Yes, but then you would get tired
of everything staying the same" said
the Manicure Lady. Brother Will
fred was out to Los Angeles once, and
he said that he got tired of the sun
shining all the time. 1t got on his
nerves so that the poor boy got kind
of balmy, like the climate, and they
found him one morning trying to
make snowballs out of the hot sea
beach sand. 1t was long time before
he forgot that trip to Los Angeles. He
wrote a poem called Eternal Sun
shine that was so good it was reject
ed by three or four of the best mag
azines in America. 1t went some
thing like this:
Il love the Spring because it is so
vernal,
But in some places the sunshine is
So, travellers dear l want to hereby
warn you,
If you love snow, don't go to Cali
fornia.

fly
Across the azure California sky
But oftentimes l long for skies of
gray,
Instead of seeing sunshine every day
/ love the Winter and l love the Fall;
Some snow and rain should come for
one and all.
Until they have four seasons in that
land
I'll not return to that there golden
strand"
"Oh, have a heart" exclaimed the
Head Barber. Amt il hot enough
when everything is quiet, without you
spelling that awful dope?"
Il know this amt no time for real
art" admitted the Manicure Lady,
but even if ii was cool you wouldn't
have no soul for poetry, George. 1t

"Oh. be still, be still" exclaimed
the Head Barber. Talk into some

CkVT TELL!" Indignantly exclaimed
w the girl to herself. after she
had glanced at the date of
the letter that the postman had just
left. Two weeks!' She flung her head
high, and looked into the mirror to get
the effect. 'Tn show him that I can
keep him waiting. too"
She unfolded the letter and read it.
Then she reread 1t.
Not an apology in it, either! 1
ought just to write and tell him thing
or two--but he'll wait at least three
weeks before he gets word from me!
Let him see how he likes it," She was
extremely Indignant.
Going to her desk she flung the letter
disdainfully upon it and closed the lid
Then she opened the desk again and
took up the letter
II wonder" she pondered, whether
ought to wait three weeks. l don't
believe it would be well to wait more
than just as long as he waited. That
will be a broad hint to him. But I'm
not going to be satisfied with hints!
I'm going to tell him good and plain
that II my letters aren't of sufficient in
terest to be worth an answer before
I've forgotten everything I wrote to
him I'll just direct them to people by
whom they will be more appreciated.
"I'n write him this very minute and
set forth matters clearly to that young
man while everything's fresh in my
mind. Then I can leave the letter IN
dated and send it later, whenever l de-
eide will be best.
Very Formal.
suiting the action to the word. she
proceeded hastily to scribble off a
letter
I'd better not begin to scold him at
first" she decided. IN just answer
his letter I'll write as though 1 had
nothing to say specially. and when get
nearly to the end I'll tell him a few
things that he ought TO know"
She wrote on. happily smiling to her
self. through a number of pages.
Goodness she reflected. Whats
the use of stirring up trouble? I think
I'd just better let it drop and act as

time had elapsed since he got my letter.
