And on that he was firm, though
he was made to pay in many ways for
his refusal
But in due time and without man
agement a dinner invitation came; on
whose initiative, being a secret neither

Hence we may not speak surely as
to the accuracy of certain differences
that Unity drew.
You see!" she cried, showing the
note to Mark. Her manner said plainly.
Il alone did it, In spite of the indif-
ference of my husband"
Il see,' he responded dryly. Are
you going?'
She treated this question to the con-
temptuous silence it deserved.
And as Mark stood in the hall and
watched her descending the stairs for
the start, he was bound to confess that
she made a fair-ob, a very fair
picture.
Why" he wondered, did the Al
mighty make so pretty shell and put
nothing in it?" This seems to prove
that he had been pretty effectually dis
illusioned.
However careless he might affect to
be, he was himself keenly elated over
the event. OFTEN he had asked him
self why Henley, so friendly in all else,
had never let down the bars before his
home. And as he mounted the steps
toward the opening door. he could not
repress the thrill of exultation.
He had need of the stimulus of this
eXultation as he and Unity faced that
roomful of people who-well, were in
longer practice at this sort of thing
than was he. He limped, with some
thing less than Unity's aplomb, across

HERBS AS SALAD SEASONING
Easy to Grow and Of Delicious Flavor
They Are Not Accorded At
tenton They Deserve.

The good old day OF garden herbs Is
not so far away as we may think. IL
is surprising to find how many friends
in town and country have some kind
of herb garden or kitchen box. Too
many of our herbs are badly neglect
ed, and we are foregoing great deal
in flavor and fragrance by not using
them more generally ia our cooking.
Here are some herbs that are very
easy TO grow, and which are fragrant
additions to our salad bowl: Basil is
an aromatic plant not unlike sage. but
much more Elusive and delicate in
flavor Sweet marjoram Is also less
coarse than sage and it's use should
not be limited to Thanksgiving tur-
key. Chervil and chiyes are two
other potherbs, the first delcately fra
grant and the second of the onion
family with pronounced onion taste.
A little clump of either may easily
be grown in a windowbox and offer a
perennial sprig for our salads. Sum-
mer savory is another herb which
should be better known, and coriander
is little plant whose seeds are par
ticularly agreeable when added to
beets and other relishes.
Speaking of herbs, we must not for
get that much-maligned but invaluable
member of the onion family, garlic.
A little of 1t goes more than a long
way, and If we gently bsuise it against
the side of our salad bowl before max
ing our dressing we have a subtle
flavor which nothing else can give.
Indeed, a Glove" of garlic should be
part OF the permanent tray for salad
making. Why do We spend money for
expensive relishes and catsups when
20 cents worth of seed and two feet
OF ground would yield us a continual
! fragrance, flavor and seasoning?

Test for Mental Deficiency.

A Belgian physician, Doctor De-
moor, has been making observations
on the capacity of different people
for judging which of two weights is
the heavier, and has satisfied himself
that, while ordinary people. especially
children, fail to appreciate a small diff
erence, the reverse is the case with
the imbecile, idiotic and half-witted.
He prepared two bottles. differing in
size. partly filled with a heavy min
eral but covered all over with black
paper and exactly equal in weight.
These he handed to $50 children of
from six to fifteen years of age. OF
these $40 judged one bottle to be the
heavier. The other ten said the two

opinion to the effect that the law re-

the city limits the law does not re-
quire the voter to establish his resi-

across that line.
The books of the election committee

serves only to guide the judges of the
