and then the bride making hers. After
the bride promised to love, cherish
and obey" the President placed the
wedding ring, a plain band of gold,
upon her finger, and then, after a

PROUD BEAUTY in DISTRESS
Incident Reads Something Like Scene
From Modern Novel in Its Dra-

She was "a proud beauty.

She was "a proud beauty.
Sir" she cried with flashing eyes,
release my handi"
He saw her flashing eyes; he knew
she was proud beauty. He retained
possession of her hand and stared at
it fixedly.
"Mr. Dottles" she exclaimed. will
you release my hand?"
There were few beauties prouder
than she.
In a moment he promised.
"Now!" she screamed. Release my
hand instantly or l shall stop playing.
Even If you are my partner I'm not
going to have you give the impression
that l haven't sense enough to play
my hand"
So, with a sigh. he gave her back
her hand, though he knew she would
bungle it, and they were playing for
real money that day, too.

Make Visit With Sick Short.

The sick room, above all else, is the
place for cheerfulness. a peaceful
state of mind and bright, cheerful sur
roundings are essential to the regain
ing of health, and physicians say that
sick persons are often kept in bed
longer than necessary by discourag-
ing or disquieting remarks made by
visitors to the sick room.
Another thing to remember is not
to stay too long when visiting sick
person. The invalid tires easily and
long visits are likely to have harm
full effect. Run in two or three times
a week, take a flower or a bright pot
ted plant, some dainty dish, maya
zines or bo )ks. and you will find that
your visits will be looked forward to
and will be real benefit to the suf-
ferer-Iowa Homestead.
