Did you ever notice that the popular girl, whom | every fellow rushes after and likes to | be seen with is not the first to catch | the desirable eligible husband?” me what are you trying to insinuate.” “That Reggie is only amusing him- | captivated his heart's desire,” an- | swered Edward. | “There's not the shadow of & doubt | about it.” | “You must be mistaken,” answered | Hilda, hoping that he was. | “A lot of us fellows were discussing | became offended at the flippant tone | some of the fellows took,” replied Ed- | ward earnestly, “He told of some girl whose plc- ture he carried in his watch—what she meant to him. We kidded him, but he declined to show the picture until he showed us the girl some day. 1 explained differently at the first op- portunity.” “That must be Shirley who he's al- ways quoting,” said lHilda. “Be sensible, Sis, don’t listen to his | soft words, Give him the shake,” as- o | serted Hilda’s brother. “Regeie,” said Milda that night when he started to tell her how much sweeter than ever she looked “I'm weary ol your protuse praise and < laudations. It only inspires in me & contempt for your insincerity and <1 hypoeritical actions, You doubtless | shower compliments on every girl you 1} meet, only varying them according to s her size, the coloring of her hair, and « | eyes.” &' “But I am honest when I say that & | your eyes are like the stars in the & | heavens above,” he contended. “Only ¢ | bluer than the sky, and as the stars & | are sure to shine don't ever hesitate ?‘ or distrust my love for you, or that 1 5107010 H0HIHOTOIOIUEOHOIOE 0F0IOFOLOFOLOHOIAIGIGIGH0Y | fall o appreciate your many alluring attractions. For some caprice you pay little attention to anything I say. I even wrote to Shirley today.” “Shirley, who's Shirley?” interrupt- ed Hilda In a strained volce, “It practice makes perfection may- be she is responsible for your adept way in making one think with your cajoling and soft words that she is your ideal when the reality is an en- tirely different person.” “Your pretty ears are the only ones that hear those words,” persisted Reggle, ‘Who’s Shirley?” repeated Hilda, “It's always Shirley, this and that, Possibly she will not be so delighted to learn that others have been the recipic it of some of the same sweet | phrases that she is accustomed to re- ceive,” “The compliments you pay your | favorite sister-in-law are vastly differ | ent from those tributes you give the girl whom you hope to marry.” “Don’t think for a moment,” said | Hilda, “that I am anxious for your soe ciety if you contemplate marrying ane other girl. Neither do I care to be conspicuous by your devoting your time to me. The girl whose photo is in your watch will appreciate your lover-like attitude vastly more.” “Will she?” said Reggie as he open. ed his watch. “It's about time. Be- hold her picture.” Curiously Hilda took the wateh, | | “Why, it's my likeness,” she ejacue | lated. | “Naturally,” assented Reggie. “Your | brother must have told you about the | girl whose picture I carried.” | Hilda nodded her head, | “He insinuated something, but if 1 heeded 'his advice, dear, I mnever would have realized how much we loved each other.” “I took it for granted that you | knew Shirley was my elder brother’s | wite. “It was a great blow to my parents | when my brother married her, as she was only a governess minus a for- | tune. They have become reconciled, however, and simply adore her. Na need to be jealous of her, for she's nearly old enough to be your mother.” | “Thank heavens for that,” said Hil “ da. “If I'qd only known sooner.” “She was my governess,” continued | Reggle, “and is everlasting thankful ! to me for writing to my brother about | her beauty and loveliness, so that he was prepared to lose his heart.” Just then Edward sauntered in, and | saw by his eister’s blushirz counte- “Stop your philosophizing.and tell | self in your soclety while another Illl; | girls the other evening when Reggle !

There are often times in a small | household when an extra bowl is need- ed, and is not to be found, and an im- provised one such as we illustrate comes in handy. Our sketch illustrates the way in which one of the ordinary common [little white pudding basins may be prettily decorated and made into a | bowl that few people would suspect | ! had for a foundation one of those | rather unsightly little objects, In the first place 2 ring of cardboard s cut | out, tnto which the basin is fitted in | the manner shown in the right-hand illustration, Soft tissue paper crum- pled up is packed above and below the ring, then over this construction a cover of soft silk or crinkled paper is arranged, gathered into a tiny frill at the top and again underneath, and tied round the neck of the basin with a fine silk cord at the base of the |'upper frill, and this is repeated below. |at the top of the lower frill. The ends of the silk cord in both cases may be | knotted and frayed out into small tas- sels. Vouched For. Here's a conversation we actuaully overheard: “Hello, Jim! How are you? Fine.
