An Evening World reader tells of a census who, when informed that a young woman was by profession a tician, hesitated and then wrote “operator,” remarking tha Bi easier to write and didn’t matter. other cases enumerators were content to get their information § to individuals and families from other tenants in the same building, saving themselves the trouble of a return call.

The clamor from the street below came through the open windows, Mr. Jarr was smoking at his ease, the lace curtains (noted absorbents of tobacco smoke, as all good housewives know) being down for the summer. No sound broke the internal calm in the Jarr domicile save the occa- sional crash from the kitchen, far re- m the servant, broke another dish for supper. Mr. Jarr seemed to be enjoying himself. Mrs. Jarr regarded him closely. He was smoking contem- platively, hence she concluded it was his cigar and not her presence that was contributing to his happiness, “Edward,” ehe said sharply, “did it ever occur to you that you must waste a good deal of money smok- ing’ “It isn't. wasted,” calmly. “But I say ft is,” said Mrs, Jarr. “When it is burned down to a stump {t is gone and so is the money you paid for it.” \ “And when a meal's eaten it's gone, too, And so is the money that paid for it,” quietly remarked Mr. Jarr. “Well,” rejoined his wife, “you can lve without smoking, but you can’t live without eating.” “Yes, I o: live without smokin, said Mr, Jarr, slowly, “but life isn't worth the living,” “You won't smoke the cigars I buy you,” gaid Mrs. Jarr, “Cigars are a matter of personal taste,” remarked Mr. Jarr, “I would rather have one of the kind I like than a whole box that you pay 98 cents for.” “What do you pay for your elgars?” asked Mrs. Jarr. “Five cents anlece,” said Mr, Jarr ®lidly. He said it glibly because it wesn't true, When he emoked a cigar it was a ten-center, “Five cents apiece!” cried Mrs, Jarr, “and I can get a whole box—I did get a whole box of fifty—for ninety- eight cents! If you smoke four a day that’s twenty cents, $1.40 a week and and a whole lot of money a year!" (For mental arithmetic wasn't Mrs. Jarr’s strongest point.) “I'm going to take a pencil and add it up,” contin- ued ehe, “I feel sure that it would be enough in a year to buy a new rug for the dining room or make the pay- ments on the piano or get a new set of dinner dishes.” said Mr. Jarr The Jarr Family McCardell Copyright, 1915, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World).

Did you get a rug with it or @ new set of dishes or pay anything on the piano with that forty-two dol- lars and fifty cents, specifically?” “I don't know that I did,” faltered Mrs, Jarr. “Then say no moge. How can we save when we don't save?” said Mr. Jarr, “Because we didn't save—that's the answer,” replied Mrs, Jarr, “We spent the money on something else.

If I were a man and wanted to kiss a woman, I should at least pay her the compliment of telling her that I loved her, whether I did or not—just in order to get the real flavor of the kiss, Why should a husband and wife be bored in these days, when they can always begin by quarrelling as to who etarted the war, and finish by quar- relling as to who started the quarrel?

'E name “hay fever” is slightly misleading, for though it may happen that hay fever victims are uncomfortable in June the suf- fering 1s much more acute later in the year—through August and Sep- tember. Hay fever seoms to be a peculiar individual and personal disorder, lim- ited to definite and distinct periods of Septem- ‘ber, and is caused by the irritating ‘ect on the over sensitive nerves of passage of some persons, of the pollen from any one of half a dozen summer plants, such as meadow grass, ragweed, golden rod and some of the wild aster family. ‘The irritating principle is without doubt in the pollen, though examina- tion of hay fever victims often dis- closes certain nasal abnormalities which require attention. However, ome peculiar inborn oversensibility to some external influences is the underlying fact in hay fever.

My Wife’s Husband By Dale Drummond Copyright, 1915, by The Press Publishing Oo, (The New York Brening World), CHAPTER LXVII. 'S the days passed I tried to get nearer to Jane, but al- ways there was that impen- etrable wall of reserve through which I could not ‘break. I took her out more often, ac- cepted many invitations so that I might be with her; planned short automobile trips, &c., but I gained nothing. It was too late, I had had my chance for happiness and had al- lowed it to slip away from me, Jane at this time often appeared distrait, ill at ease. She would start nervously if I spoke suddenly to her, showing plainly that her mind was on something in which I had no share; her thoughts far from me. Miss Reese's mother had been taken suddenly ill, and she had been nt for, That, perhaps uncon- sciously, added to my wretched con- dition. I had always hated detail, and now I had all the little daily an- noyances of the office, When Jane and John left for the lake I had fully determined to go with them. In fact, I intended to spend most of the summer with Jane. But Miss Reese's absence, a serious operation upon @ very wealthy and prominent man, who absolutely re- fused to trust a surgeon I recom- mended, kept me in the city.

Here- after, when I could not ignore the man, I would try to speak of him as I would of any other acquaintance, Perhaps Jane would recognize my effort, and it might soften her. ‘When I reached the lake I was so exhausted I could scarcely move. It had been very hot, the operation a trying one. Miss Reese had re- mained away much longer than I had expected. All I wanted to do was to sit on the balcony and rest.

He and his cap- tain talked together in low, anxioue tones. Finally, as the boat careened badly, he gave us all life belts, and assisted in fastening them on his guests, His face was very pale, and I heard him say to Jane as he helped her fasten the belt: “Does the doctor swim?” “No,” she answered in a quiet voice. “If anything happe: don't be afraid. I'll take care of you, dar- ling.” The last word was very low, but I heard it distinctly. Turning to me, h@ continued: “You and John keep together, doc- tor.
