In fact this little god OF love has
been working overtime in one par
ticular office building in the down
town section, and during one year
forty girls have sucumbed to his ar
rows.
Last Saturday afternoon Miss isabel
Duthie, a pretty little typist for the
London Guarantee & Accident Com
pany at No. 55 John Street, was given
a merry celebration and party by her
fellow workers in honor of being the
fortieth bride-to-be of that office.
Forty brides in one year means
almost an average Of one bride per
week, so l made my way to the John
Street address wondering just what
that edifice had about it which in
spired matrimony.
As I alighted from the elevator a
grafonola spinning out jazz met my
ears and beheld a number OF happy
young men and women dancing to the
future happiness of the fortieth bride.
Confetti, a large papier-mache we'd

wedding presents and a bowl OF punch
told the story at once.
Desks and typewriter stands had
been moved 20 one side, and l real
lied at a glance that romance no

Pansy stood still In ecstasy, clasp-

such lovely stable; and what beauti-
ful horses! and so many of them!
Pansy began counting them, but
could not come to an end.
Dame Dammydimmydoo tanned
three times with her stick on The
tiles. which rang like distant church
bells. Out Of the horses boxes, from
beneath their cribs or somewhere. a
dozen red-clad little dwarfs, or
rather imps, appeared suddenly.
They were tiny little boys, all
dressed in close-fitting red tights.
and on their heads they had pointed
little caps that fastened under their
chins. They were strangely alike and
had large round eyes ami wide grin
ming mouths. So rapid were their
movements that they scuttled about
like so many mice.
These are my stable boys" eE-
planned the Dame. Then she clapped
her hands once. twice, thrice-and all
the horses turned around at the same
moment and began leaving their
stalls, one after another, in a tidy
line, like well-trained soldiers.
But now came wonderful creature
led by two red-clad little imps, who
were holding 1t by two golden chains.

Dame Dammydimmydoo, "and no
one knows how old no is, nor where
he was born; he is the most beauti-
full horse in all the world, but no one
has ever been able to sit on his back"
When Sun God passed before Pansy
he stood up on his hind legs and
paved the air. He was 80 luminous
that Pansy had the sensation OF being
splashed with sunshine.
IT think you are wonderful" said
Pansy with deep sigh. How lucky
/ have been to find you!"
Look what is coming now" inter
r7Ipted the old lady.
Ten little ponies, all brown and
white like unripe chestnuts, came
trotting along. They too, had enorm-
ously broad necks, and their names
were cut 80 that they stood up like
stiff ruffles. making their necks still
broader. Their tails were 30 short

Yet only eighteen months ago
IgnAcs Jan Paderewsll was the idol
OF his fellow countrymen, the most
prominently mentioned candidate for
the Presidency Of Poland. He finally
accepted the Office OF Premier and
Foreign Minister. at the request OF
Gen. PilsudslIi-- the Same man with
whom he now disagrees so drastlcally
on matters of state policy that he has
determined on political retirement.
Than Paderewski no one has ever
offered a more complete proof of the
pIatitude about the ingratitude of re-
publics. His fortune Of at least
$1,000, 900. his health, his artistic
genius he has sacrificed on the altar

person who insured hts hands for
$4,000, a lucky dog who annually
sailed away from that dear America

Then she closed her eyes and pulled

A NEW VEGETABLE

The town garden and the city far
mer have been for time past the
butt of many jokes and the former
frequently a happy reality for the
neighbors, chickens and pigeons. But
the city farmer was very great
help, not only to himself, but to the
country, during war-garden activi-
ties then, has since helped in the
fight to win against the high cost of
living. The Albany (Ga.) Herald
says:
"It's great to have a garden, even
though it produces few vegetables.
It's great to have a place for out
door exercise-a place in which to
turn up the fragrant earth with a
spading fork, level it with a rake
and lay it off with a trench hoe.
Some folk say it's better exercise
than golf or tennis, though on that
question we do not presume to sit
in judgment. A man can work in his
garden before sunrise, when golf
links are too wet with the dew to be
used, and his garden is whole lot
nearer home than the golf club.
"And there is no reason why Mr..
Town-dwelier cannot have a garden
with real vegetables in it if he will
give little practical thought and
diligent application to it's prepara-
ton and care"

dening habit,-if it ever stops rain

town not far from Tar Heel NOUN /
tain.
1t was not an ordinary meeting, a
case of friends happening to come
together at the same corner on
Saturday afternoon, Tor ::ese three
young North Carolina men had net
seen one another for' two years
since the early autumn of 1917.
They had parted in doubt after
that former meeting. Two of them
had gone one way, and the third had
gone another the opposite way.
The Draft Law had enrolled the
young men of the North Carolina
town, and two of the three friends
had boarded a train for one of the
great new army cantonments in a
neighboring State. The third, who
by the records of the Draft Board
should also have been on that train,
had travelled a mountain road that
brought him at length among
strangers.
Before they had parted, he had
tried to convince his friends that the
mountain road was the better, for it
was in his nature that he did not
wish to go alone.
So, when the three met again last
autumn it was certain, even before
a word was spoken, that the choice
of roads was still open for argu-
ment.It happened that the two men
who had gone the one way together
had come back to starting place
with empty sleeves-they had but
one good pair of arms between them.
The man who had travelled alone had
come back sound. He had both arms
and confidence that was even
greater than his assurance of the
autumn of 1917. And true to his
nature he said:
81 told you So"
Within stones throw of the

IN long perspective. Somewhere in
one Of these filing-cases is an en-
velop bearing the name of the man
who said, 81 told you so." Before
very long that 81 sfansyeaop will be taken
out of the filing-case, and shortly
thereafter the man who said, 'T
