Hen- ! dricks is an old bachelor in the for- ties and a successful lawyer who | barks at a jury and is used to seeing it wilt before his eyes, so he has rather got into the habit of expecting #verybody else to jump like the juries. “What attracted me to him was the fact that he seemed to know instantly shat he wanted, whether it was the *hoice of an ear of corn or an oar, and tecause he positively snorted in wrath when Libby Knox started to coo over him, Libby is a young woman of un- certain age who coos over every un- attached man she sces.

Thai is, some women?' ‘A makeshift of nature to fill up vacant space,’ I told him, promptly. ‘I got that figured out a long time ago!’ “After that we were great friends. And oue day I went salling with him tn a little catboat that he had rented. 1 red W or shock and Chryssie said the idea of any man over twenty going sailing was pitiful. But I've decided that the best way to have a good time in this world is to| take things the minute they present themselves—and 1 bribed the waiter at the hotel to put up some sandwich- es and other things for me and took along a book and a bottle of ginger ale “An hour later, when I produced my little hamper and began unpacking things Hendricks said: ‘You're the most sensible woman I ever met! I was just hating the idea of having to go back to the hotgl for lunch on a day liko this with a breeze just right. Any other woman would have thought of frills instead of sandwiches!’ “*H'm!

Crisfield’'s Importance. The collector of the port of Crisfield, Md., asserts that that place is the first port in the United States in the number of vessels regis- tered. These vessels, however, in- clude a large number of craft desig- nated as “bugeyes, pungies, cunners and bateaus,” so that the port's ton- nage is not large. Crisfleld is also deseribed as the greatest hard and soft shell crab market in the world, and as the center of the Chesapeake bay oyster industry, Where She Went.

Philanthropic Penology. “What is that open-air structure you have inclosed with mosquito netting?” “That,” replied Farmer Corntoassel, “is our village jail.” “Dut you want iron bars for a jail?" “Not here.
