ReSUeinu the Chin.

One was on her way to the beauty
doctor to have her wrinkles ironed out
and she didn't make any bones about
it. The other had passed the making
over stage but she didn't realize it.
They never do. They met on an ele-
waited train In New York. AS soon
as the ancient one learned of the 9TH
er's mission, she was anxious to talk
about the art Of being done over. "If
only my chin wasn't quite so long,"
she said. 'What do you think? I
think l have a classic face, but / am
not sure. l mean, l think l would
have u classic face II didn't have this
chin. know beauty doctor. Do
you think | should go to him2 They
say he Is very clever. No, he doesn't
hurt you. He just pushes your jaw
back a little and chops little Off.
OF course, you have to have your face
done up in bandages for couple of
weeks. But outside of that there Is
no danger. Don't you think / won't.
oh, you get off here2 Well, good-by."

she said in her smooth, sinuous way
"but-Mr. Winters is on his regular
trip to the city|
"Why yes. You are not bringing
me any bad news, are you?" fluttered
Mabel apprehensively.

piled Mrs. Hall and then she repeated
what her associate scandal monger had
impaired to her.

"Do as / do" advised Mrs. Hall

he goes to the city to make his weekly
returns to the house of his trips,
make sure he isn't galllvanting about

II trust you will not repeat your In

but there was an aching sense of sor'
row and dread mt her heart
She wept and fretted. A score q
times the sinister impulse was impart
ed TO her reason to watch her husband
to have others watch him. Then she
abandoned the suggestion as utterly
unworthy of a true and loving wife

she had locked her secret closely with

Odd Wedding Custom.

An odd wedding custom prevails
among the Santals, tribe IN India, by
which, after an agreement has been
reached between the parents, who usu-
ally do the bargaining, the youths
friends, after short interval, visit the
girl and give her piece of cloth as a
sign of betrothal. The money is then
paid. This Is called "the binding down
of the thatch'-and date for the
wedding is fixed. The next step Is for
each party to tie a knot in a string for
each day that is to intervene before
the wedding day. Then the parties
separate; day by day knot is united
and when the end of the string is
reached the real knot Is tied that
makes the couple one.

Curious Siberian Jewel Box.

A curious jewel box made Of fossil
ivory by the natives of Siberia is on
exhibition at the Museum of Natural
History In New York.
The sides and top are composed OF
fiat pieces of ivory and are carefully
fitted together, the corners being dove
tailed. They have carved in them
scenes of the northland, the front side
representing a hunter returning from
the chase riding reindeer.
The box is made from the tusks of
mammoths that have been buried for
ages beneath the ice in Siberia, says
the Christian Herald. Some of these
tusks weigh from 200 to 300 pounds.
Elephants tusks furnished the ivory
for the Jews. Solomon made his throne
of 1t.

1t was a seed sowed in receptive and
fertile soil, that nugget of dark sus
picion instilled by chronic gossiper
within the mind Of Mrs. Gordon Hall
isn't II awful what deceivers the
men are? Oil I'm not mistaken about
Mr.. Winters. You see, my sister who
lives in the city, spent week here
last summer and met Mr.. Winters q
score of times"
"And she wrote you that she saw
him In the city under suspicious cir
cumstanceSW
'Twice," pronounced the spinster
gossip with zest, as though rolling an
appetizing morsel under her tongue.
First, two months ago-she positively
saw him going into notorious gam
bling place. A month later he was
coming out of common saloon"
'Dearl dear! what hidden wicked
ness of the world !" murmured Mrs.
Hall. "What you say TALES with the
visits of Mr.. Winters to the city. The
firm he is with here as bookkeeper
sends him there regularly once a
month. What would his wife say to
all this? won't tell her, for 1t would
break her heart"
But Mrs. Hall did tell Mrs. Win
ters. She was shallow, frivolous
piece of femininity, slipshod about her
housekeeping and virago and scofd
on occasions, as likewise idle, ignorant
and a gossip. She did not like Mrs.
Winters any too well, either, for the
latter was all that she was not and
the vivid contrast nettled her. AS to
her husband, she made him a poor
wife. She was always paradipg her
rich relatives before him and nagging
him to provide for her more literally
than he could afford. Unconsclously
she was making herself a sort of ter
ror to him and driving him to involve
himself deeply to cater to her extrav-
agant notions.
1t was the next day that she called
upon pretty, peaceful, happy Mrs. Win
tiers. BY degrees she drew nearer and

The most dangerous of all poisons
are the toxins of infectious disease !;
the next most dangerous are the toxins
OF fatigue. Work, whether of mus

PantaIoons Originated In France.

Pantaloons became popular In
France as a morning lounge costume In
the reign of Louis XVI and We're gen.
orally worn by the democrats at the
beginning of the French revolution.
Kuce breeches as the formal costume
of men lasted until the beginning Of
the nineteenth century. Beau Brum-
nell was the first to popularize trous-
ers or pantaloons IA England and their
general use followed In America.
Brummell wore tight-fitting panta-
looms, buttoned at The ankle, and from
these gradually developed the looser
style.

Commensurate Service In Paris.

Few visitors to Paris realize that
the French capital has an extensive
compassionate service analogous to
the ordinary gas or municipal water
service. There are several hundred
miles of compassionate piping under
lying the Paris streets. The air is
supplied to stores and cafes and Is
used In cooling rooms and as a means
of furnishing power to fans, sewing
machines and even few elevators.
The air Is metered like gas.
