No Apology Needed.

A good story which the late Lady
Dorothy Hevill used to tell related
to the early railway days, when
smoking on the company's premises
was forbidden. A passenger on the
Great Western was transgressing
the bylaw at q station in Wilt
shire. and continued to do so in
spite OF q warning from the sta
tionmastsr Thereupon the latter
pulled the cigar out Of his mouth
and. threw 1t away. A few minutes
after the Duke of Beaufort's car
iraEe arrived and the stranger en-
tered and drove on to Badminton.
1t was Lord Palmerston.
Fearful of the consequences, the
stationmaster engaged a chaise and
pair and followed. Arriving at Bad
minton, he succeeded in obtaining
an interview with Lord Palmerston,
to whom he made a most abject
apology. "Pam's'' reply was char
acteriStic.
'Sir, respected you before. be-
cause 1 thought you were doing
your duty like q Briton, but now I
see that you are nothing but a
snob!"

Advice to the
LOvelOrn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Should A Crippled Girl
Marry?
Marry?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A young man OF twenty-four
has asked me, a girl OF twenty
two, to marry him. This man
holds a very good Government
position, which there is hardly
any chance OF his losing. But
am a cripple from paralysis. One
limb is entirely paralyzed, though
1 wear q brace and walk quite
well
Under these circumstances, do
you think it wise to marry, even
though the man is able to give
me a comfortable home? S.Y.
Is it because you are shyer than
most girls that you omit to men
tion the most important point Of
all in the consideration OF q mar
riage problem7
You give no hint OF what your
personal feeling is toward this
young man who is, take IL for
granted, in love with you II you
are not in love with him, advise
you to hesitate. A loVeless mar
riage Is a dreary affair.
But perhaps you place so much
emphasis on your lovers earning
capacity merely because you are
conscious that you cannot help out
in the domestic partnership as
much as most girls could. In that
case and II you are really in love
with the young man, see no rea-
son why you should not marry him.
since he himself fully understands
what he is doing. There are many
worse obstacles to marriage than
physical handicap.

SOmeAuthOrs:
Wives

- ONE authors have freely ae-
knowledged their indebted
ness to their wives.
Tom Hood had such conn
dence in his wife's judgment that
he read and re-read and corrected
with her all he wrote. Many of his
articles were first dictated to her,
and her ready memory supplied him
with his references and quotations.
He frequently distated the first
draft OF his articles, although they
were always finally copied out In
his peculiarly clear. neat writing,
which was so legible and good that
specimens were once or twice
begged by printers to give their
compositors a first and easy lesson
in reading handwriting.
Macaulay read all his articles to
his sister before sending them to
press; and Anthony TroIlope said
that no person but his wife had
ever a line of his manuscript, "to
my very great advantage in mat
ters OF taste"
The most noteworthy examples
OF joint authorship are those OF
Samuel Carter and Anna Maria
Hall and Of William and Mary
Hewitt. Mr.. and Mrs. Hall worked
together for fifty-six years, and
wrote no fewer than $40 volumes.
Unlike the great majority OF "wonn-
en- of mind" Mrs Hewitt ably dis
charged her domestic duties my
WIFE," boasted Mr.. Hewitt, sis the
best poetess and the best house.
keeper in England"
The novelist, Alhponse Daudet,
had determined to remain a bache-
lor, because he was afraid that II
he made a wrong step in marriage
he might dull his Imagination. He
has given expression to this fear
in the "Femmes d'Artistes," and
more particularly in the tale Mad
anne Heurtbise," with which the
volume opens. But, on being intro
duced to Mile. Julie Allard, who
loved literature and was herself a
charming writer and critic, his fear
was removed. The union proved a
very happy one, and the picture Of
the two at work is an attractive bit
OF biography.
Once, it is related, he had a sem
timental and dramatic scene with
his wife, concerning which he re-
marked:
''This seems. my dear. like a
chapter that has slipped out of q
novel"
"It is more likely. Alphonse." was
the reply, ito form a chapter that
will slip into one"

Puss in Boots
Jr.
BY David Cory.

V you remember in the last story
Y that the animals were nearly
l. frozen when the Ark ran
aground on the great iceberg, and
that the Noah boys wanted to bring
some Of the animals into the
kitchen to keep them warm.
The kitchen is none too large
as it is" sighed Mrs. Noah.
Don't you boys worry your
mother any more" said Captain
! Noah sternly. The animals have
got to make the Best Of 1t. Any
one who travels by sea undergoes
some risk, and I'm sure I'm as
careful q captain as a man could
be. It's lucky we didn't 90 down
to the bottom OF the sea, when we
struck the berg. instead Of running
up on It safe"
After that Captain Noah and Mr..
Jonah held a consultation as to
what was the best thing to do un-
der the circumstances.
@Of course, some OF the animals,
like the polar bears and the seals.
will enjoy q vacation on the ice.
The penguIns, too, will be glad to
have . little change. We can let
them out and the rest OF the Arc
tic passengers. But how to keep
the rest Of the animals warm puz-
zles me. We haven't coal enough
to keep the furnaces going for very
long"
Mr.. Jonah stroked his chin re-
hectively. I'VE might dig a chan
mel from the Ark to the edge of
the berg, and then float the Ark
he said, After q pause.
That's q pretty good scheme"
said Captain Noah Wen get to
work at once. Here. you boys, get
the pickaxes and come with me-"
By evening the canal was fin
ished. Now, when the tide rises"
said Captain Noah, resting on the
handle OF his pickaxe, perhaps
the old tub will float"
It was now quite dark, so all
hands returned to the Ark. The
animals which had been allowed to
play on the ice had all returned,
except the two polar bears, who
had begged Captain Noah to let
them stay out all night, as they
wished to see the Northern Lights
from the top OF the iceberg
1t was q very tired family that
gathered around the supper table
that evening. But after the meal
was over, Mrs. Noah asked Puss
Junior to tell them a story. So
PUss related how he had once taken
4 ride with the great Sun God in
his golden chariot across the high
heavens, starting early in the morn
ing from the doorways Of the pur-
pie east and ending his journey,
with a great splash, in the waters
Of the golden west. "And IL it
hadn't been for Mr.. Neptune" said
Puss with a grin, "who suddenly
came by in his seashell boat drawn
by his foAming sea horses, / guess
I wouldn't be here to tell the tale"
'Goodness me, but you've been a
traveller" said Captain Noah. "I
thought I was something OF a SAIL
or, but you certainly have been
some sky sailor, eh?'
And just then the weathercock
began to sing:
TITS time for bed. and all the Ark
Should soon be snoring in the dark.
The elephant and the kangaroo,
So good night Cock-a-doodIe-do
Have gone to bed. and so should
you. -
So god night! cock-a-doodIe-dor'
And in the next story you shall

Jack, unless one OF the friends feels
repentant and says so. Perhaps you
were a little autocratic in your at

you are IN love with. In that case,
why not tell her so, since you want
to be friends again? or course, you
are entirely right in thinking you
are too young to go to theaters to-
