It was the long distance call for which

Blue eyed beauties are known fol
their self-control, coldness, austerity
and precision. They are severe and
suspicious, and demand the continu

Moreover, they are domineering and
masterful, and wherever possible will
be found to rule the roost.
Blue eyed men are highly intellec-

are the rulers Of their families, and

Smiling, he saw the waiting gentle

powerful advertising man in New York

TOO LIBERAL WITH ADVICE
Bank Cashier Meant Well, But Sad
Experience Taught Him a Great
and Lasting Lesson.

The story sifted down from st. Paul
the other day that "Jim" Hill engi-
neered a shakeup in a bank there be-
cause he found an ink spot on his
monthly statement, which recalled to
a bank official OF this town the reason
why one cashier ceased to be a little
ray Of sunshine. Persons who can
coax more than a conversational bit
out of him nowadays are indeed
skilled. He was a conservative guy
and good" said the banker. He
was the sort Of man who would
leave a light turned on in the hall
at night so that burglars might think
that some member of the family had
not returned home. He was espe-
cially strong on temperance. Strong
drink had never scared his pure lips.
He cashiered in a savings bank in the
edge Of the town. One day a Hunky
blew in with an active hangover. II
he'd had any more liquor in him he
wouldn't have been legal without q

Broadway turned from the telephone
and faced the maiden of whom they

you'll come to dinner and that you
will be angry if l don't stop calling
you Miss Richards Is she right?'
She's always right"
"'Then, Josie, will you come to din

'Tll be glad to come" said Josie.

hooting up and down town announc-

out and the depositors were chased
away. Then the bank officials investi-
