(Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press) “We must do all we can to prevent their falling in love,” said Agatha Downing to her husband. Tom Downing smiled understand- ingly. “I might hint to bim that Rosa- mond is extravagant. Of course she isn’t, but if Peter Howard thought we were framing up a conspiracy for him to meet a certain girl—object matri- mony—he'd turn gruffy at once and €0 home."” “So would Rosamond—if she sus- pected anything of the sort. She has always said she never would marry. She is devoted to her profession, you know.” “I belleve the witch knows that her she can wear,” declared Rosamond’s cousin, “Of course she does, Tom! I do think a nurse's dress is the sweetest thing—those white gowns are most | becoming to Rosamond. [ couldn't ar them, I'm so yellow,” sighed rs, Downing, looking at b gallantly. “You e for pink and white beauties, myself—but it 1 should be | taken sick and you were not able to attend upon me please remember that my t wish was that my cot Resamond is to don ¢ i gown and administer the do. “By that time [ hope she w given up nursing and be married to Peter Howard.” “Am [ sensibly married?” inquired Tom innocently, “You are happily married,” smiled pretty p and have sensibly “If T am happily married—I beg par- why not have poor Peter happily mar- “You Are Happily Married.” ried instead of just ried?” he asked. “Why, don't you see, dear, if he's bappily married he's sensibly mar- ried too!" cried Agatha trlumphantly. “Granted that—Ilet's get down to the horrible details of the conspiracy. They will both arrive on the same train. You will meet Rosamond and I will meet Peter. On the way home, in our respective taxis, you will pro- ceed to hint apologetically to Rosa- mond that we are entertaining an old college friend of mine—a furry old grind, who detests women who take up any vocation and thinks the only place for the fair sex is in the bosom of a family. For my part, I'll let Peter understand that Rosamond is frothy minded and extravagant, and the last girl any sensible man would want for a wife. That ought to fix things!” “It will. They will fall in love at once, men are 50 contrary minded,” sighed Agatha. Tom rose and comnsulted the | table. “Come along, Agatha, | will be due in thirty minutes, § we've got to find a taxi.” “Queer, isn't it, about their choosing the same train?” ! Agatha as she put on her bat. “Begins to look as if fate were going to step in and quash our com- spiracy—eh?” “You can laugh, Tom Downing, but it is singular. Two perfect strangers, | such as they are—both invited to | spend a week here in another city, where there is a conspiracy afoot to { have them fall in love with each | other—and both innocently choosing | the same train to come down to | their—" “Horrible fate,” he finished. At the train the Downings had two | taxicabs in waiting; obne was to con- | vey Mrs. Downing and Tom’s cousin | and the other was to Bold Tom and | Peter Howard. | When Mrs. Downing first caught sight of Rosamond Ferrin’s tall, grace- | ful form, she was stepping side by side with Peter Howard, although they , appeared to have been so situated by | the jostling of the crowd rather than | by design. | “Rosmand, you darling!” cried | Agatha, pouncing on Rosamond and | hurrying her toward the waiting cab. “Did vou have a horrid trip down?” ! asked Agatha, when they were bowl- ing uptown. | i sensibly mar- time train and both mused “Not at all—it was lovely.

The conspirators glanced at each other and blushed. “Hah!" cried Peter with sudden en: lightenment. “Matchmaking, eh? An old game, my children!” “I didn't believe a word of it, any- way,” declared Rosamond, as she slipped her hand in ber husband’s. “Nelther did I,” confessed Agatha. DELICATE BIRDS' NEST SOUP Some Interesting Facts About This Favorite Dish of the Chinese Epicure. Uni-itiated people are apt to think of birds' nest soup as a most disgust- |ing st-w of twigs, feathers ani what not. As a matter of fact the nest used by the Chinese is a r cate, semi-transparent, gelatino.s sub- ln!lnre_ built by the swallow-like birds known as the salauganc. The nests are found in the islands about Siam and the Malay Archipelago. and the harvest in the year 190% was 18- 000 pounds, valued at over $100.600. { It used to be thought that the nest was formed of insplssated ealiva = creted by the highly developed zlands {of the bird.
