Guard oheNed orders

Many stories are told Of the Swiss
mercenaries in the service of France.
As M. Edmund d'Auvergne says, they
used to play in French humor the part
assigned to the Irishman in ours. A
Swiss captain, ordered to bury the
dead after an engagement. went at 1t
so thoroughly that he was burying the
living with them. When this was
pointed out to him. he replied: "As

OLD QUESTION TO THE FRONT
Just How Much Woman Should Spend
or Dress Seems as Much of
Puzzle as Ever.

A &erisian woman ran up a bill in
one year amounting 10 $3.50 for
dres,iss and furs. Her husband was
suec He stated that his fiat cost him
$500 a year, therefore credit to his
wife for over $4,000 was unreason-
able. The court decided that mar
ried woman cannot spend in dress
more than the amount of the rent
paid for the joint home of husband
and wife without laying herself open
to a charge of extravaganza. and the
court reduced the bill to $500. (There
is a saying that the rent should NOT
exceed one-fourth of the income)
The scene now opens in the court
of chancery, Jersey City. Vice Chan
cellor Garrison stated there that the
utmost extent to which man could
be asked to go in supplying his wife
with "outer clothing" was as follows:
Suits, $50; coat, SIS; pair of shoes.

CHAPTER ~.

La Trappe.
There was a small company Of
people gathered at a table which stood
in the cool shadows of the chateaus
eastern wing. Towards these people
my companion directed her steps; |
saw her bend close to the ear Of a
young girl who had already turned to
look at me
Presently the young girl to whom
my companion of the morning had
whispered rose gracefully and came
toward me
