 observant neighbors had fully decided that he would no longer hesi. tate when the attractions of Edna were so perfectly obvious.

 Marvin finished his dinner hastily. He was well aware the observations were intended for him and that Mary was the wren in question. Its a fun ny thing friends cant leave one alone" he reflected. I'm marrying to please myself. not a pack of gossips."

He had friendly may of snuffling for sugar as he stood at the curb that brought in many dollar to the old cockney's purse. And the little red one that had been a lady's saddler in Old Virginia, and whose. gray wooded old driver had romance to tell of how he and the Cunnel had lived on the little red ones earnings after Old Mistiss died. The tips he received when he told that story were positively outrageous.
 There were years after the coming of the taxicab when the old barouches disappeared from the streets, along with the old hansoms. Once these lat ter craft brought close to $2,000 in the dealers window. Then they sold, harness and all, for $25 and the seller rubbed his hands. There are but one or two of them left, and somehow they mainly ply at night. But the ba- rouches are gaining ground again.

Indeed, he isn't !" the little old wom- an replied. "He takes things away from everyone who comes by and he will take everything away from you, tool"
 Don't you believe it!" Raggedy Ann laughed.
 "I'd just like to see him take any thing away from us!" Rasgedy Andy said.
 "Well, then, just you keep right on up this path and you will soon see the giants house, and you will soon find out that he will take everything away from you!' the little old woman said. So Raggedy Ann asked her to get in the house on wheels.
 Maybe we can get Gerald the Giant to return your magical charms!" Rag gedy Ann said as she sarted the house on wheels rolling towards the home of the giant.

anticipated her, but his eyes grew pug | zled as he noticed the type of reading that had engrossed Edna.
 Are we going anywhere, Marvin ? +Edna's voice called from the tiny bed room. T can slip into something pret ty if we are"
 Want to go somewhere to dance p
 "Oh, yes," sang back the delighted voice. Mother, come in here and helI me-"
 The small sigh of fatigue that es. capped the older woman did not go un. heard, but when Edna made her rather theatrical entry Marvin caught his breath with pleasure and forgot the former amazing appearance.
 Edna was an astonishing contrast to the dainty pinkrand-white Mary, who had a fragile appearance. Plump scarlet cheeks made the deeply shad- owed bleck ayes even more brilliant and the dangling jet earrings intensified the whiteness of the dimpled neck above the scant frock of black sequins. Marvin saw, with some surprise, that her arms were entirely bare, and he took the soft velvet cape from the older woman to cover the well-powdered shoulders that were covered by slender strips of black jet.
 Expect me when you see me" re- marked Edna airily; "now, on with the dance."
 At midnight Marvin suggested a re- turn. His billfold was much depleted and he had not enjoyed the night. Ed na had met a party of friends at the Blue Teapot, a place she had suggested, and she had dan nced a great deal with satin-headed ydungster who had made covert fun of the young country mer- chant.
 Marvin, dear" murmured Edna ca jolingly as they taxied back. "I'm go- ing to trust you with a secret" |,
 "Yes."
 You know, only make $25 a week cozily into his-"I ordered a fur coat $20 down and have to dig up thirty lend me a fifty? It's hard for a girl only enough income to keep up that poky flat without helping me any"
 Coldly, Marvin gave her the money, and still more coldly bade her good night, impervious to her hints of an- other meeting the next day.
 Mary makes only $20 and takes care of her mother" thought the man. Ma ry's home was well furnished and well kept, and they have enough to share with the old friends"
 Sunday morning found Marvin wait ing when Mary and her mother came downstairs, ready for church. Although neither of them wore frail silks or showl furs, they presented an appear ance of dainty fastidiousness that had been entirely lacking in the bizarre toi- let of Edna.
 "Tve bought a bungalow, Mary; that new one in Main street. It has south kitchen and-will you come home and see if it will do?'
 The sober little face beside him grew rosy. They had fingered in the vesti- bule of the building alone, but Mary had not asked him up. There had been new reserve in her manner that had worried the man, who had at last made his choice. "See if it will do?" she echoed as he stopped and ran his fingers nervously inside his collar.
 "Yes, when we're-hang 1t all-mar. ried. We always splanned to be mar. ried some day, didn't we?'
 Perhaps you did" smiled Mary, and seeing she had punished him enough put her tiny gloved hand into his out, stretched one.

We Women
A FOregOne Conclusion

nR. HENRY P. DONALDSON of
 Philadelphia in an address be-
 fore the American Neurological association, said:
 "As a group, large headed people ore cauable of more thorough work and clearer thinking because their brain cells are larger. The male is more brainy than the female. There IS a difference, on the average, of 1Z per cent in the weight of the brains of men and women. But high grade woman may have a lightweight brain"
 Can it be possible that the intellect of a man can be accurately gauged by the cubic contests of his skull! 1t seems to me that just exactly what size has to do with the action of the intel lect and it's relative effect is subject not fully decided. I believe water on the brain enlarges the head and it also causes idocy.
 We women have been made subjec-f tive for so long that it is only recently that we have been permitted to follow our own intellects. A little over a hundred years ago the highest court of Connecticut held that township could not be required to make good a contract made with woman to teach school because the court held that everyone knew a woman's didn't have enough intellectual ability to teach school. There are now more women teachers than men.

The brain of anant is one of the most marvellous bits of matter in the world. The wonderfully diversified instincts, mental powers, and affection of ants are notable. Yet their cerebral ganglia would hardly cover the quarter of a small pins head.

One Mother says:
 A scalloped edge that is not snagged in the laundry but that is effective and dainty, is made of tracing the bottom of the skirt, using a teacup to form the scallops. Have the scallops hemstitched twice, as close together as possible. Finish the scallops with a crocheted picot edge. This makes a substantial, durable and dainty finish.
