EARNED HER SEAT IN A CAR
A Young Woman Accepted the OFFER
of the Man who Sat.

Plainly the young man in the
speckled Palm Beach was perturbed.

the street car to the young woman
beside him who clung to strap. or
should he give II to the elderly man
who stood, or rather rolled. just

him as granny"
Unable to steady himself against
the cars careening. granny" was
promising to pitch the baby out the
window with each successive spasm OF
the motorman.
A look of triumph smoothed the
wrinkles on the young mans brow
TO the young woman he said:
"You may have my seat II you'll
hold that baby"
"But IL isn't mine" grasped the as
tonished young woman.
II know, but you can have a seat
and the baby will be saved" reasoned
the young man who was willing to
abdicate. now fully decided.
The young woman pumped into the
seat, held out her arms, took the
baby from granny and hugged II
close just as the conductor called

capped him the young man lowered

HOW TO GET THE EASY MONEY

Getting money by marriage is. Of
course, tremendously popular ana
most authorities unhesitatingly recon-
mend II as the best method next to
inheriting. but tho fact remains that
1t involves many pitfalls. The wife or
husband who brings the money to yOr

nuisance and therefore decidedly an

confronts one with tho very difficult
task OF getting rid Of the said hus

time getting rid of the said all-im-

1t means minute-saving at every

means machines to perform each
