] NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-The sum- mer of 1887 has moved quietly on 1 the bourne from which no summer ever returns, and since the mem ory of man is sometimes short, it might be well to say at once that, far from being dull in New York, this summer produced in headline entertainment

Dried Apple Pies

I loathe, abhor, detest, despise,
Abominate dried-apple pies.
I like good bread, I like good
meat.
Or anything that's fit to eat;
But of all poor grub beneath
the skies,
The poorest is dried apple pies.
Give me the toothache, or sore
eyes,
But don't give me dried apple
pies.
The farmer takes his gnarliest
fruit,
IT'S wormy, bitter, and hard, to
boot;
He leaves the hulls to make us
cough,
And don't take half the peeling
off.
Then on a dirty cord tits strung,
And in a garnet window hung,
And there is serves as roost for
Until it's made up into pies.
Tread on my cornS, or tell me
lies,
But don't pass me dried-apple
pies. UNKNOWN.

some treatment for my skin to cure the
blemiShes and blackheads.
It is a shock to me to find I am so
unattractive, but for years thought very
little of my personal appearance but con.

I have never played any games, neither
have ever worn makeup, or cared much
about clothes. never had time to learn
to dance and really have never made
any girl or boys friends, as I thought
they were a waste of time. Now I wish
had done less work and more frivolous
things. as some of the girls who have
good engagements spend very little time
on their work but seem to get along.
What shall I do?
I am 10, S feet inches, weigh 1856. and

Dear Mrs. Brown:

Death Is a Door

Death is only an old door
Set in a garden wall;
On gentle hinges it gives at dusk,
When the thrushes call.
Along the Intel are green leaves,
Beyond the light lies still;
Very willing and weary feet
Go over that sill.
There is nothing to trouble any
heart;
Nothing to hurt at all.
Death is only a quiet door
In an old wall.

This brings us round to the

The English movie star, who
seems to be the latest in British
beauties, doesn't think much of
husbands. She confessed to hav-

dropped him, and now it's case
of 'never again"
But marriage isn't going out OF

We're beginning to know
much more about marriage than
we did even a generation ago,
