Real Love Stories
BACK TO VIRGINIA AND HER.

bACh TO NIN6ANlA AND HER.
Margaret Mine: Today I am lonely
and sad and i'll. my heart aches for
one little touch of your hand. They
say I must be patient. yet how can :?
/ dream of you when sleep. and
when awake your wistful eyes
haunt me from the little ivory min
iature. I hear your voice in golden
song and silver laughter, and in lit
tie caressing murmurs. o, Margaret.
miss you so!
often think Of our first meeting.
You were SC delicate and fragile. an
exquisite wind flower girl in your
anemone gown. You were a beauti-
full bridesmaid. my dear. And now,
this marvellous June day. the ami
versary Of Zalea's wedding. I must
lie here in this stupid hospital. the
most wretched and miserable man in
existence!
Forgive my crossness, dear. I'm in
q much better mood now. The nurse
came and took my writing materials
away. Think of It! My being
'bossed" by a nurse no larger than
you-though not half as sweet nor
lovely. After a nap. the doctor came
in and announced to me that in a
week I'll be discharged from here,
which means that I'm no longer in
pieces. am quite respectable looking.
and in three weeks I'll be with you
in the Virginia sunshine at Hearts
Content.
The little new moon shines blithely
In through my west windows, a
white gold promise of June dreams
and content. And so I say good-by.
dear. with all the love in my heart.

And the Show Went On.

Knowing there was a good show
at one of the theaters this week I
went to see 1t. Having found 4 seat
/ noticed a man in front of me that
looked as though he could not keep
his eyes open. Finally he fell into
a deep slumber and began to snore.
Everybody except young couple
sitting next to him thought 1t quite
amusing. The young man next to
him became disgusted and shook
him and told him to stay awake. He
was awake for about three minutes
then fell asleep again. snoring
louder this time than before. Finally
the young man, to the amusement
OF everybody. shook the sleeper
thoroughly and told him to wake up
and stay awake. as he had not paid
to come in to hear a man snore.-

A Ready Comeback.

l was one of seven passengers
touring from Washington to Harp
ers Ferry. The road in places is
too narrow for two vehicles to pass.
Driving along we saw an old horse
and buggy. In the buggy sat an
old man smoking his pipe and drfv-
ing along very slow. 1t was impos-
sible to pass him as he kept in the
center of the road. Finally we
reached a wide strip and passed him
and as we did one or our party
waved his hand at the old fellow
and said. Keep on going and some
day We will see you in Heaven"
The old man doffed his, hat ana
said. Alright Boss, Use gwine to
keep drivin' on and prayin.'"
We had only gone few miles
when We had two blowouts. While
we were fixing them up came the
old man. and stopping and dofing
his bat. gave up this salute: Say.
Boss. is this Heaven" Thereupon
the party treated the old fellow to
small change and lunch. = Miss

Morning,Jadge
By Rudolph Perkins.

Ruth Ransom. wife Of Bernard
Ransom. made no complaint what
ever about being chased UP Seventh
street in the dead OF night and
beaten by her hubby.
But. just the same, Bernard was
yanked into court on the charge
that he did this stunt.
Policemen Dankmeyer and Muir
ray said that they saw Bernard
chasing Ruth. The woman's screams
attracted their attention and they
broke up the party.
Bernard denied striking his wife.
but he did admit that he tried to
take her home. Both had been to
the same dance but had separate
dancing partners.
The court fined him SIS.
Albert Gust said that his wife,
Alice. nags him. Mrs. Gust said
that she has been mistreated for
nineteen years.
The other day the wife did some
preserving. She put up nine quart
jars OF peaches and put them on a
shelf to cool.
Albert got peeved at something
or other and dumped the contents
Of the jars into the sink. His wife
tried to interfere and got pushed.
That's a fine stunt" said the
court. The next time you want to
let on steam. Albert. take a walk
around tho block-don't upset your
wffe's preserves. Case dismissed"
Candida de Giuseppe claims that
her husband Tony won't work to
support her and their fve bam-
binos.
As result. she said. she took in
washing. and the children sold
newspapers and ran errands to heLp
her out. When she pleaded with
Tony to go to work, she told Judge
Hardisop. he would brandish a
butcher knife and make a motion
IKE he was going to stab her.
He did stab her. she said, several
months ago and forty-two stitches
were taken in her side. He still
uses the same knife to threaten her
with. she stated.
Judge Hardison placed Tonv on
probation and warned him that any
more knife brandishing meant ak

may be interested, as l was, to learn
something about Miss Bassett. AS
her novel should indicate, she is a
New Englander-lives, in fact, on
Beacon Hill Boston, in an Old-fash-
toned house full of Colonial furni-
ture. She is a near neighbor of Miss
Alice Brown, who is also a writer of
delightful tales of New England
country folk. I do not know wheth-
er Miss Bassett is still as ardently
anti-suffrage i'm her views as she
was a half dozen years ago, but that
is likely. as she has long precedent
behind her. Hcr family has lived
right there for 300 years She did
not set out in the first place as a
writer: she first studied design, and
afterward was a kindergarten teach
er. After long study. including lee
lures under various Harvard profess

she goes to Cape Cod for literary ma
