second OF this season-her sister,

The wedding will take place in

out about the other things that Polly

she knows whereof she speaks

on the telephone and told me that
these young men were bashful and
sensitive and asked me please not to

1T nearly always happens that In
trying to csc one disagreeabe
duty we find ourselves inflicted
with one even less to our liking But
the girls out at Woodbury. School are
congratulating themselves that tn y
have at least one clear recollection
where such was anything but the
ca Sc.
1t was just two or three weeks ago
when the smallpox scare was preva-
lent Now. crowd of schoolgirls NAV
have exalted ideas of Lady Montague,
and think her very remarkable
woman to have introduced vaccina-
ton to the English, but when II comes
TO the test they dislike very much sac
rif1cing their own arms and feelings in
the matter.
And so this afternoon, when the
rumor of vaccination was hanging
heavily over the school, and a pro-
fessionally appearing gentleman
walked up the oath. there was scam.
pering into the cloakrooms and b.
hind doors of the girls who did not
want to be vaccinated. Only one of
them was brave enough to venture 10
the window to keep watch for the
gentleman's departure.
After about two hours OF patient
watching and waiting when still the
dreaded individual had not passed
through the gate, the girls stealthily
emerged from their hiding places, to
find-it was not the doctor after all,
but lecturer. l. ctures are as pain
full to most schoolgirls as is vaccina-
tion, even thorTh they make believe
they are not, and you may well be-
lieve those girls were secretly elated.
N NE of my friends has in her pos
session a bunch Of postal cards
which are of especial value to
her. for the postals themselves have
they might, for it isn't every day that
we meet someone who remembers a
simple request, and strives so faith
fully to carry it out.
Suppose you were to meet someone
from a distant State, and you would
ask them to send you postals from a
particular part of that State, and of
certain scenes: and about three years
afterward, someone were.to call you
NJ. and ask you if you made such a
request, would you not be surprised?
Well, that is exactly what hap
pened. The visitor was from q town
in Arkansas, and my friend being de
sirous Of securing scenes of that part
Of the country. asked her to send
them TO her Then she forgot all
about the request
But the visitor from Arkansas had
not forgotten She secured the post
ais, and then II dawned upon her she
could not remember the name of the
one TO whom she was to send them.
II was only through the efforts Of a
mutual friend that the cards finally
reached theiT proper destination.
