However, I'll go out and find the girl I'm to be almost hated by.” And he found her. It was an icy winter's day. out to do a bit of shopping and call on the astrologist. Every shoe store car- !

I called to ask—" “Thé bundle grew feet and walked off down the hall after one awful glance, and the mother replied that the house was not for sale, and that that was her busy day. “But the astrologist sald I was to marry the girl with the teeth of gold,” said Mr. Ward to himself as he walked away, “and I'll have to wait and let Providence help me out.” A month passed. Then one day Mr. Ward rode out into the suburbs to in- spect a plece of real estate that had been marked down in price to him ow- ing to the fact that it abutted on a graveyard, and folks didn't fancy the scenery. Of a sudden there were screams. Biss Blythie was riding out that way with the girl-owner of a run- about, and the vehicle was skidding from side to side of the road and look- ing longingly at a stone wall. There was no chance to play the hero before Miss Blythe jumped. It cannot be sald that she landed on her ear, but still she landed and brought up against a fence with a bang. Mr. Ward was on the spot with words of hope and condolence, but he hadn't uttered ten of them when Miss Blythe was on her feet and sdying: “You wretch, but you have crossed my path again!” | “On, I don't know,” replied the young man. “I came out here to lock at & graveyard, and had no thought that you would follow me.” “But it must stop, sten!” \ “Yes, three falls is enough!”’ sir—it must RAM LAK ELAND, FLA., MARCRH .

Girdles are either plain, of striped broche, or a combination of ribbons. Velvet brocades have entire velvet figures, or satin flowers out- lined with velvet. Velvet stripes ap- pear in dark, rich roman ribbons. Many rich ribbons are very dark, such shades as dark brown, navy, pur- ple, mahogany, russian and stem greens, etc., and are blended with hair lines of black, yellow, scarlet, pale blue and green satin, or one wide one of black satin. Girdles and sashes of brocade have a rich effect with a plain colored gown. For evening or dancing gowns rich satin girdles are worn, and fancy stripes set off a simple serge or cotton dress. Soft finished ribbons are used for crush girdles. Tinsel ribbons heavy with gold or silver scrolls or flowers are very hand- some and are used for girdles or for collar, vest or cuffs. Ribbon tassels of black ribbon are fur tipped and used as a coquettish finish on some of the close turbans worn tipped sharply { on the side. Nursery Laundry Bag. A laundry bag for the nursery is made of cretonne or linen, gay in | color, or with Mother Goose designs. Two yards of material make a com- fortable big bag. It is gathered at the top on an oblong shaped sewing hoop. Then sew a pretty ribbon at the top, attach at either end with a bow, and it is ready. It will prove an easy thing to hang up in the child’s closet. | New Muffs Are Large. | The new muffs are immense.

Miss Blythe had never thought of hers. She went slid- ing and slipping, and just as a young man was passing her down she came like a ripe apple. It was a kerchug of a drop. It was a drop on ice, and her hat was bounced off. She also felt hooks and eyes give way. But it was a graceful fall. alr nor scramble nor turn a hand- spring. It was a nice graceful fall, one that caused the young man who helped her up to say: “I don’t belleve that one woman in & thousand can beat it!” i “How dare you, sir!"” was hissed at \him. ; “But you didn't want to sit thereall . the afternoon, did you?” ! Yes, there was the light-haired, blue- eyed young man! Yes, there was the girl with the gold-filled teeth! The astrologist had hit the mark right in the center, and no precious time had been wasted. Mr. Fred picked up Miss Biyth's hat and banded it to her. Had he known how he would have pinned it on her bead. “1 don't thank you, sir!” “Oh, there's no need!™ And thus they met and thus they parted. The astrologist had said that she would be dreadfully embarrassed. Hadn't she been? The woman of the stars bad said that the girl would al- most hate the blue-eyed man at first sight. Gee, but didn’t she want to claw his smiling face! To most young ladies 1t is utterly impossible to get up from a fall and walk away with proper dig- nity, but Miss Blythe made a very good attempt. Mr. Ward was in the real estate business. He passed on to attend to his bargain sales, but as he headed for his office he said to himself: “Yes, 1 thought I loved another, but 1 was wrong. It's the girl with the golden tooth I love and am going to marry.” Mr. Ward did not lack cheek. No real estate man does. If he hasn't got it he makes a flat farlure. Therefore, he didn’t let 24 hours elapse before calling on Miss Blythe. For the small sum of ten cents a small boy had fol- lowed her home and marked down etreet and number.

I won't!” exclaimed the girl as she walked off. { “Ill bet she has!” whispered Mr. { Ward to himself, “and that's what she | is mad about. She may fight me off | i for a time, but the stars are working for me day and night.” During the next month Mr. Ward ' : did not catch sight of the girl with the ' golden teeth, but he was calm and content. Not for & moment did he| doubt that the stars would bring | everything out all right. Then the day came that a grocer's horse was | given an extra handful of oats and | got frisky over it and ran away. Did he run over Miss Blythe? Not a bit of it. Mr. Ward was there to grab him by the nose and twist him into a lamp- post and see that his neck was prop- erly broken. Of course, the girl stum- | bled and fell backwards, but she was | at once assisted to rise, and before she could shed a tear the real estate | man was walking home with her and saying: “You can't beat the stars, my dear. | They say we are to occupy a vine-clad | cottage. after. marriage, and we might | a8 well o 100KIhg droind after the | vines!"” i | Happlest couple on the street!

The most recent discov- eries are more remarkable than any that have yet been made. ' Luxurious baths with arrangements and decorations confirming the de- . scriptions contained in anclent Abys- ! sinian records have been found. These | baths were fed by water which first passing through a series of aqueducts, finally flowed down cascades between numerous sculptured lions, oxen and other animals. The walls are ornamented with rows of colored tiles with relief patterns and medallions, all still remaining in thelr original positions, while around the large tank are statues of musi- clans and other figures, not to men- tion a number of broken statues lying about. Twelve steps lead down to, the tank. 1 Succeeds Husband as Assessor. Mrs. Elizabeth Harden Spitser, widow of Lewis A.
