 / Its a lovely day, isn't it, Judge Wade?" asked with the greatest in- terest, which didn't really feel in the weather, but what could I think of to say? A woman is apt to keep the im- age of a good many of the grand men she sees passing around her in queer niches in her brain, and when one steps out and speaks to her for the first time it is confusing Of course I have known the judge and his mother all my life, for she is one of Aunt Ade- lines best friends, but I had a feeling from the look in his eyes that that very minute was the first time he had ever seen me. It was lovely, and blushed some more as I put my hand up to my cheek so wouldn't have to look right at him.

The middle initial of AGNES L..
RIDDLES name might stand
either for LEGISLATION or
LOVE with equal propriety.
Mrs. Riddle is the adopted
"mother of Colorado" whose
success as legislator was so
marked during her first term that
the people returned her this win
ter to sit second time in the
house of representatives.
This Colorado woman law
maker is German by birth. a good
American citizen by adoption, a
nurse by profession, a wife by
choice, a mother by instinct, re-
publican by politics and an indie
pendent in thought.
Years ago Mrs. Riddle was
nursing a patient way up the
country. Almost the only caller
was the milkman. The nurse
never noticed him until one day
he suggested that she was COM
mencing to look tired and seemed
to need a little fresh air.
Wont you come and have a
ride some morning in the milk
wagon?" he asked in a hesitating
voice.
"Oh. some of these days, may
be-" she laughingly replied, and
forgot the incident.
But the milkman's query came
to be a regular habit, until one
day she accepted, just to be doing
something different. He took her
to see his ranch and his red
headed wife"-who proved to be
hired man.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 15.-Have you
a servant girl problem!
Or are you servant girl with
a problem?
No matter. I think you will
be nightly interested, whoever
you are, in this st. Louis woman
who has solved two big domestic
problems-the servant girl prob
lem and the problem OF getting a
large bunch of sons married
right.
She solved them both by mar
rying the sons to the servant
girls!
The Tichacek family is well-to-
do. They live in a fine, big,
beautifully furnished home. There
are two automobiles in the gar
age.
"How do I train my girl?'
Mrs. Tichacek smiled as l asked
her. "Why, I never really train
them to marry my boys. Three
of them just happened to like my
sons and the boys liked them,
and they just married, that's all.
/ didn't have anything to do with
it."
But 1 rightly surmised that the
pleasant-faced, motherly woman
DID have something to do with
it, and she did not get angry when
rather insisted that she tell me
how she trained her servant girls
to be wives for her sons.

full in taking a girl into my
house. / had to know something
