SALLYS STORY
BY MILDRED WHITE.

They were all upon the hotel YER
anda. the men whom Sally had gayly
named to her sister. Sally had fond
ness for bestowing upon those who
gained her interest distinctive and
amusing titles.
The tall young man, leaning idly
against large white pillar, was. In
Sally's phrasing, 'the gloomy man."
while one clad in white hannels near
him was "the conceited man."
In her heart Sally knew that her
lovely sister found secret amusement
In her chatter. The wise man himself
spoke little to other guests, avoiding
all except Sally and her sister. and
spending much time In lonely places
upon the sands.
Sally was not flattered by bis atten.
lions. Experience had taught her that
friendship with herself, where the
masculine sex was concerned, was us-
ually means to the end-of acquain-
lance with Cicely-Cicely, the elusive
and reserved.
During the week which followed It
was "the gloomy man." In Sally's
phraseology, who beat the conceited
one to it." 1.-THE wise man, questioned
by Sally, could not guess as to which
| of the two might win.
"Your sister," he suggested, SHOULD
be the one to give that information"
"Cicely." Sally answered. disguised

Baapipe Music at Wedding.

There was bagpipe playing Mt the
wedding Of Roswell Miller and Miss
Margaret Carnegie in New York the
other day. The Highland airs might
have seemed out of place mt the mar
riage Of most American girls. but in
the Carnegie home nothing could have
been more appropriate.
The brides father is n true son Of
the Highlands, his birthplace and home
of his childhood. After having made
his fortune in the American steel in
dustry he returned to Scotland and
bought the beautiful estate Of Skibo
castle. There the Carnegie family
spent their summers frdm the earliest
recollection of Andrew Carnegie's only
child, the bride of few days ago.
Guests at the wedding were impressed
by the wedding march played on the
great organ in the Carnegie mansion
of Fifth avenue, and there was a fine
orchestra which also played, but to
the old Scotsman and perhaps to the
bride, neither approached the music Of
the pipers from Skibo castle, an ex-
change remarks.

Words that have undergone q re-
markable change Of meaning with the
passage Of the centuries are pretty"
and mice" Both these words meant
originally almost exactly the reverse
Of their present definitions. "Pretty"
comes from the old French word
proud or "prud." In old saxon the
word became SUPERINTENDENT,
splendid, vain, insolent. From this
came ''prit'r' or "pritte," meaning al
most the same; till at length It came
10 signify. handsome, bold or hne;
finally, after many gradations, reach
ing ITS present usual sense as a per-
sonal adjective Of girlish and effeini'
nate significance. "Niee'--which comes
from French source--at first meant
foolish, absurd, ridiculous; then In
course Of time II came to signify
wanton, whimsical, fantastic; then
delicate and subtle, till finally 1t was
used 10 denote any specially pleasant
quality.

Burglars Were Hpngry.

Sometime Sunday night the grocery store of C. H. Ponder was entered by burglars. The miscreants gained en- trance by squeezing thru side win dow, which was reached by using a roll of wire taken from the Watkins company's yard, as ladder. Judging from the size of the opening in the window, the one who entered was a juvenile or mighty slim adult. MT. Ponder reports that the only things missing from his stock are box of candy and some canned meats, cvi- aeses that tt'iis burglars were hungry.
