You eat all kinds of foolish food; you
get dead tired. and you drink foolish
drinks to carry you through or be-
cause other people are drinking them
You dance until 1 or in the morning
and, even if you do stay in bed late
the next day, you get up tired.
When you do get up there are note:
to answer, invitations to arrange. all'
to make, fittings at the dressmaker's-
interminable fittings. for all these en-
gagements require quantities of cloth
es, since the frock you wear to E
lncheon will not do for a dinner: mol
will an afternoon tea dress be proper
for theater party.
All these things and many more be-
gan to crowd my days. leaving me
little leisure to think. At night I wa:
too tired to do anything but wonder
how I could stand it even month
longer. In the daytime I covered my
uncertainty by the vivacity that is de-
manded of girls whose main mission is
to be decorative. and whose whole
object in life is to secure a husband
who can afford such decoration.

sea. and much of the poets girlhood
was spent on that isolated and barren
spot. She spent most of her life, after
her marriage to Levi L. Thaxter In
1851. on Appledore Island. where she
died in 1894, and was buried there.
Literary monuments to locality are
seldom of a more lyrical or character
istic nature than her writings about
Appledore, with which her name will
be forever associated. Chief among her
prose sketches of life and scenery are
lished in 1873, and IAN Island Garden"
published in 1894. Her poems treat of
the island life-the lighthouse, the
storm at sea. the CLINT of sails. the
sand-piper and the flowers among the
siding genius of the place.

The Debutante.

From the Saturday Evening Post
The very word debutante includes
visions of light hearted pleasure, OF
dances and dinners and teas. OF riding
lessons and beaus and parties; but 1t
is not all SO rosy as it seems-there
is a good deal of work in 1t and
good deal of disappointing 1t.
For some silly reason or other you
have to create an air of popularity, OF
never ceasing enga gements, of endless
invitations. If you are not always on
the go you have to seem to be. ana
both these things are eXhausting.
You go to a luncheon at 1 o'clock,
with some bridge afterwards: at you
go to a reception or two: then you
hurry home to dress for dinner dance.

Bank of England Beer.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The bill to abolish the wine-seliing
privileges of the University of Oxford
and the city of st. Adams reminds one
that by an old charter the Bank of
England has the right to sell beer. 1t
does not appear ever to have exercised
its privilege. but there is apparently
no reason why the bank should not. if
it wished. open a beerhouse in Thread
needle street, or supply customers at
their own homes. Just imagine how
popular Bank of England dinner ale"
would be, with the chief cashiers sig
nature on every bottle guaranteeing it
genuine!

Washington, May 3O.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross continent June 2 to 6, warm
wave l to 5, wave 4 to s. First week
in June will be cooler than usual
and rainfall generally below normal.
Indications are that more rain will
fall near the Atlantic coasts in June
than in the interior of the country, but
there the rainfall will be def
Gent with a few exceptions.
The Atlantic coast line mentioned is
many thousands Of miles in length,
reaching from Vera Cruz, Mexico to
Labrador. Canada: The location Of the
evaporation sections Is on the east
side of the Atlantic and must be car
ried to these coasts by the trade winds
of the Atlantic and therefore most
of the moisture will have been precipi-
tated before reaching this continent.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June s, cross Pacific slope
by close Of 8, great central valleys 10
to IL, eastern sections 13. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about June 8,
great central valleys 10, eastern sec
tions IL. Cool way will cross Pa
cific slope about June IL, great CEN
trail valleys 10, eastern sections Is.
This will bring a great hot wav and
cause a severe drouth in many parts
of the central portions of the great
central valleys. As the cool wave
comes in showers and thunder storms
are expected but these will be princi-
pally near the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
While June is not expected to be a
very great storm month we must hang
out our danger signals for the week
centering on June 20. Better cut thai
