During the lunch Miss Mary plucked
up courage to look at the captain. And
the more she looked at him the more
he came to resemble certain idol in

her heart What was more to the point,
Miss Lizzie discovered that the cap

once Miss Lizzie INDUCED in that ro-
mantle speculation that she had so
discouraged in her sister.
The captain was visiting America
on business connected with a certain
rich old property which he owned not
many miles away. This lett ample
opportunity for subsequent visits, ana
before the time for his return arrived
he had persuaded Miss Mary to make

Before our war of 1912, az it is call

the treaty. was signed the war had
been unsatisfactory to bolil sides. and
the things We fought for. were not men,

diversion of the aftern m tea dances
which have become frequent at
the local clubs.
1t was brought on by the necessity
of dividing five men among fifty wo-

the absence of husbands, who are
working down town to raise funds to
pay for their wives gowns, and the
young society men who make the night
affairs brilliant cant leave until. their
bosses say it's quitting time.
So several young matrons devised
the plan of matching pennies to see
who'd have the next dance with one
of the few men available. and this put
