TIO'II«NETTE
He not only preaches the gospel of
simplicity, but to a very great extent,
he practices It—that Is, his luxuries
are only In tho line of useful or
healthful things.
His own dress is unostentatious,
and his family all dress with a mark
edly quiet elegance and with a nota
ble absence of jewels.
But surely there must he a lapse
somewhere Into what might be term
ed a foolish extravagance.
The two women were talking about
it as they went down the street that
afternoon, and saw tho familiar au
tomobile.
"O yes, I had forgotten,” said one.
"There is always that cluster of Am-!
erlean beauties In the motor. Such
superb ones must cost a fortune, and
to have them fresh every day—why It
Is something stupendous. You see
there is a fluanolal weakness after i
i all."
They went closer to the car, al
i most close enough to enjoy the fra'-
1 grance of the flowers, and then —and
: then they found that the roses were
! artificial.
The woman who haa found that it
does not always pay to be polite had
, a little experience, the other day.
that confirms her more unmoveably
than ever in her opinion.
A woman whom she know rather
j formally was just ahead of her on the
street and the back of her dress was
unfastened to a conspicuous extent.
| Our friend, upon charitable thoughts
| Intent, hurried up.
"Pardon me." she said, “but your
i plsckquet hole is open. Allow me to
| fasten it for you."
The other turned around with a
jerk, and snapped out:
"No I thank you. 1 prefer it that
way."
Generally It is an American who
is rightly credited with having an
eye open to the main chance, but the
latest story along this line has for
its hero an Englishman rich in a
Y'ankee shrewdness.
It seems that Rudyard Kipling, an
noyed by the injury done a valuable
tree on his place by the careless driv
ing of a bus-owner wrote a vigorous
letter of complaint to the driver of
the injury-dealing vehicle.
The recipient of tA letter, who
was also the landlord of an inn, laid
the letter before the select company
in the bar parlor, who advised calm
Indifference.
A Croesus among thtem offered ten
shillings in cash for the valuable au
tograph letter of the distinguished
author. Both advise and cash were
accepted.
Then followed a stronger letter,
and this also found a purchaser, this
time at one pound, in recognition of
the markedly Increased violence of
the vigorous English used by the
master of this kind of English.
Again Mr. Kipling received no re
ply.
The next day Mr. Kipling determin
ed to inquire in person why his fet
ters of complaint had not been an
swered. Naturally, he used strong
er language than ever, only this time
it was not written.
The landlord was ready for him.
"Why didn’t I answer your letters,
sir? Why, I was hoping you’d send
me a fresh one every day. They pay
a deal better than bus-driving.”
Which story was reminded someone
else to tell of the astuteness of a
grandson of Queen Victoria.
The boy was away at school, and
like all boys found his allowance too
small for his youthful extravagances.
His grandmother wrote remonstrat
ing with him for so needlessly spend
ing as much money as he did, and he
happened to show the letter to a
friend, who immediately begged the
privilege of buying the Queen's au
thgraph for a generous sum. After
that, the young prince wrote a let
ter every week to his distinguished
grandparent, a letter that invariably
contained something the conscienti
ous Queen would feel that she must
answer personally. All the auto-
