You are Cordially Invited. .
THEIR ENGAGEMENT.
Ho Told Hor She Would Return t?
Him, and She Did.
She entered the room hastily.
\ He was awaiting her.
“I was afrai.l you would be thinking
I had forgotten.” she said.
“No,” lie responded calmly, in the
tone of one wh > is master <:f .Himself.
“An engagement is an engagement
with me.”
She was a beautiful girl. A wealth
of chestnut hair rippled below the
wide brim of her bonnet. Her close
fitting tailored gown yielded to every
movement of her supple form.
He was a bit above the average
height, a clean cut, square chinned
chap, whose every expression bespoke
self reliance. As he looked at her his
glance was deferential, yet not timid.
“It lias been a long while since we
saw each other,” ho remarked.
“Yes, nearly a year,” she replied.
“But do s'ou remember when 1 left
that time you said I would have to
come back?”
“Yes. You should have come sooner
than this.”
“But I have been so busy—going and
coming, dances, dinners, the theater
and all.”
“I know. And you were married
too?
His voice did not tremble ns ho ask
ed this, yet across her face there flash
ed a quick tinge of humiliation.
“I—l would rather not speak of
that,” she observed, almost coldly.
“That is all over. We—.we— It was
to be expected. The truth is we were
not meant for each other. So I—l got
a divorce.”
“It was better so, no doubt,” he re
sponded gently. “Won’t you sit down?”
She took the chair he indicated, and
as he looked down at her she flashed
him a sudden smile.
“I was afraid of you the last time,”
she said merrily.
“But you are not afraid now?”
His voice seemed to give her assur
ance. She smiled again.
“No. indeed!”
He put his fingers beneath her dim
pled chin and tilted her bonny head
back, then gazed at her earnestly.
Her limpid eyes looked up at him
trustingly. The rose pink of her
cheeks came and went fitfully. The
white of her throat throbbed with
each breath. He bent nearer to her,
still with that fixed gaze. Her Ups
were parted.
He raised his head, and she looked
out of the window silently.
There was a pause. At last she
spoke.
“What are j'ou studying about?
What have you decided?”
“I think I’ll have to fill two of your
teeth,” he said quietlj - . “The rest are
all right. You have taken better care
of them than most women <lo.”—Life.

Grand, Gloomy and Peculiar.
There wais a marked contrast be
tween Lincoln’s manner, which was
always pleasant and even genial, mid
that of Stanton. • The latter’s stern,
spectacled visage commanded instant
respect and in many cases inspired
fear. In receiving visitors, and tliey
were legion, Stanton seldom or never
sot down, hut stood before a high
desk as the crowd passed before him
and one by one presented their re
quests or complaints, which were rap
idly disposed of. He was haughty,
severe, domineering and often rude.
When I think of him in the daily rou
tine of ids public audiences tin* char
acterization of Napoleon by Charles
Phillips, the Irish orator, comes to
mind, “grand, gloomy and peculiar.”—
From "Lincoln in the Telegraph Of
fice.” '
Eugenie’s American Ancsstry.
The Empress Eugenie was the grand
daughter of Mr. Fitzpatrick. American
consul at Malaga during the early
years of the nineteenth century. Mr.
Fitzpatrick's wife was of Scotch de
scent and claimed to- he connected in
some remote way with the Stuarts.
They had one daughter, a very beauti
ful and accomplished girl, who made a
brilliant marriage with the Marquis De
Monti.jo. Comte I>e Teba. lie died aft
er a few years of married life, leaving
her with two young daughters, one of
whom subsequently married the Duke
of Alba. The other, Eugenie, became
empress of the French. From the
Memoirs of M. Claude.
Birds of a Feather.
Frederick Leveson-Gower in his
reminiscences relates tiiat when lie
visited Moscow in 1850 for the corona
tion of Alexander 11. “opposite our
house during the procession was
drawn up a regiment called Daulovski,
formed by the Emperor Paul, all the
men having turned up noses and
therefore resembling him. It seems
it was the fashion to compose regi
ments of men all having the same fea
tures. The late emperor had recruits
sent to him and told them off accord
ing to their looks. There is one regi
ment of men all marked with the
smallpox.”
The Ambulant Barber.
Taris, like Peking, has its ambulant
barber. Armed with a little box. con
taining the necessary apparatus, razor,
badger brush, soap, scissors and servi
ette. he exercises liis, calling on the
banks of the Seine. All the bargees,
navvies and quay laborers are bis cli
ents. “Figaro” seats his patient on
the pavement, covers his knees with a
newspaper and for a sou shaves, cuts
his hair and gives a human appear
ance to the tramps and others who
intrust themselves to his care.

LUCKY SWISS HOUSEWIFE.
She Lets the Rain Be All the Family
Washing For Her.
Swiss methods of laundering are orig
inal. practical and labor saving. The
women there have learned well how to
make the best use of their opportuni
ties with the least exertion. How they
use the tourists every one who lias
traveled in the country of the Alps
knows. They also kne w how to make
nature do their housework.
In most of the towns everything that
is washed or cleaned is washed or
cleaned in one of the big watering
troughs that stand at regular intervals
along the main thoroughfares. Into it
goes everything from potatoes to liu
man beings, and the only sanitary
regulation existent is that it must be
cleaned out with a large broom made
of bush or twigs after the potatoes
have had their bath. But when it
rains then everything else gives way
to the family wash, no matter if it is
Thursday or Sunday or Saturday or
Wednesday, for in Switzerland they
seek the rainy days for wash days, in
stead of deploring a cloudy Monday.
The steady downpour provides run
ning water in the village washtub
Into the sweeping current the family
linen goes, and there it is whirled and
twirled about until every speck of dirt
is thoroughly rinsed away. The scrub
bing board is not put into commission
at all. Occasionally the good housewife,
protected under the family umbrella
held over her head by one of her
youngsters, who is allowed to enjoy
the drips from that same umbrella,
takes a look at her wash and encour
ages it with a gentle poke with her
husband’s bast cane. But the rest of
the day she enjoys to the fufl in her
snug chalet, while the elements do her
work. In fact, with her conscience at
rest that her day’s tasks will be done.
6he can spend her time gossiping with
her neighbor, whose conscience is also
at peace.
On the next day the wash goes
through a process of bluing and starch
ing—all in that same basin—and fin
ally. when the sun shines, it is laid
out on the wonderful green grass of
the Swiss matten and is there bleach
ed to a .snowy whiteness. If the gla
ciers and the landslides were to ac
commodate her by rolling down over
her wash and ironing it out without
soiling the Swiss housewife would not
be at all surprised. In fact, it is not
to be doubted that she now regards as
an oversight the failure of Dame Na
ture to provide an ironing board.—New
York Post.

Little Bob (just started in school)—
Uncle Harry, what is the bird with the
biggest bill? Uncle Harry (who is still
thinking of the night before)—A quail,
my hoy; a quail—on toast.—Judge.
