LANCASTER. RCES MEREDITH stared hard at the binding of ‘er books and slowly realized that she was dis- wusted with her attitude Istence. Ten years ago a passionate love had swept through her life, leaving it bar- ren and desolate, In the first bitter sense of humilia- tion she flung out impatiently against the man whose thoughtful words had made her see {t all; the grave glanc; and graver smile that had plerced inflated bombast. And to-day he wus coming to call! “Don't move!" raid a voice from the door. "You look supremely comfort- able lying back in that big chair with your hands behind your head. Ah, now, why couldn't I have wheeled up that chalr? I know you have been hard at work all day. Do you never have any mercy on yourself?" Merces was leaning back with a sug- gestion of a smile about her Hps and did not meet his glance. Finally, in despair, he came to a stand. “Miss Meredith, you once told me you looked on life as a disaster! Don't you think it i in our power to over- come the disaster?" Yes, indeed," she assented, lazily. ve never had any great admiration for Job and his ash-heaps; seems to me that he would have been a much more sensible man if he had taken Sarsaparilla, or something, to cure his bolls, and have gone on about his busi- ness before his wife was driven to ad- vine such extreme measures.

Dear Mrs. Ayer A few days ago a married sister of mine, her husband and myself went into a west-side restaurant. After being there a short time I noticed a gentieman whom I am well acquainted with, I was very anxious to have him pass the table so I could introduce him to my folks; but he fated to do so. When 1 met him again and reasoned with him concerning this he told me it was my place to send for him and give him the introduction, Which was right? DOUBTFUL. F you wished to speak to this young | gentleman you should have sent for him. He had no right to suppose that you wished him to stop at your tab! I should say his behavior was respectful and proper. People are not supposed to make acquaintances In restaurants. There would have been no impropriety in an acquaintance so formed, but the young man was correct in not taking {t for granted that his soclety was desirable wntil you made it obvious that such was the case. —a NEW ‘BISMARCK MAXIMS.
