A hall bedroom and tea and crackers are a poor substitute for a home and husband. Finally the young couple are shown a year later with the plump, laughing baby which seems to play a star part in many pictures of this class, and with it they demonstrate to the once doubting friends and relatives that their experiment has not been a fail- ure. This “picture” ended the show, and with the others Jim and Marjory filed slowly out of the close room into the brisk alr of a November night. Thanksgiving was not far off, and already the horrors of & holiday rush were looming up before Marjory, whe earned her extremely scanty living in a department store. That picture hac brought a lump into her throat, and made her hate her lonely life more than ever before. “Let's have a soda,” Jim suggested, and the two filed into a drug store, both bashful because of their display of feeling, and trying not to chow it As they sat opposite (v eéacn ower NG TELAGR.AM, LAR ELAN! ———————— have any home any more.” ), FLA., NOV. 19, 1912. e T — o 7 B | AI ¥ vone could have feizned suc! . cinctions, she said eagerly: «1 Lonestly believe it was, Jim.

Well, we will then, and we won't care, will we, if we don’t have much at first?” “If T can just have you and ry own home, honest, Jim, I'd cook over a gas iot in a tin cup and think we were rich,” and the light in her eyes showed Jim that love was possible in a two- room flat just as much as though the Lome were to be in a mansion. “Then, Marje, we'll do it.

Bucking, it appears, began by writing to a famous Paris jeweler un- der the name of “Mrs. Marchmont,” mentioning another wealthy lady cus- tomer, and asking for a quantity of ex- pensive jewelry to be sent to London on approval. The request was im- mediately complied with, and $1,350 worth was chosen and paid for with a check. Three months later “Mrs. Marchmont” ordered $6,000 worth, and also paid by means of a bill on a Lon- don bank. Shortly after there came an order tor pearl necklaces to the value of over $25,000 to be sent in order that the customer might choose one of $5,000, and following this the jeweler received another request in the name of an al- leged friend of “Mrs. Marchmont” for necklaces, rings, and brilliants, also to the value of over $25,000, all of which were confidingly sent to London. This time, however, no payment followed, and, the jeweler placing the matter in the hands of the police, the pseudo “Mrs Marchmont” was arrested in the person of a German named DPucking. ————————- Growing Old Gracefully. 1t is impossible to escape the voke of time, but there is a becoming as well as an unbecowing way of don- ning and wearing it.
