An UnrcBTftful Dissolution.
When you played at bridge with me,
When I saw you lightly make.
As my smiling viv-a-vis.
Every possible mistake,
I forgave you, though I paid
Dearly for the slips you made.
When you played at love with me,
Ah, what science then, what skill
Drew me to your feet, to be
Now discarded at your will;
Shall I still forgive you? Yes!
Nothing ever grieved me less.
Selected.
"W
r HAT'S THAT? Tape? Rib-.
bon?" asked Mr. Jarr, see-1
lnc something In the shape
of a small ribbon of about a quarter
Inch in width trailing after Mrs. Jarr.
"What is it?" he repeated. "Why,
It was trailing after you for several
yards. And it's silk." i
"Well, if you must be so inquisi
tive," said Mrs. Jarr, "it's a corset
string."
"Nonsense!" paid Mr. Jarr. "I
know a corset string when I see
one. They are round like a sandle
wick or an old fashioned shoe lace,
and they have little brass tips that
are round, and they are made of cot
ton, I used to go to the store and
buy them for my mother when I was
a boy. Ten cents." j
"I dare say," replied Mrs. Jarr, as
"If she desired to change the subject.
"What did that one cost?" asked
Mi. Jarr, "a quarter?"
"A quarter!" st.id Mrs. Jarr in fine
Bcorn. "That shows how much you
men know what it costs to keep a
woman half decently dressed. It
cost a dollar."
"What's it so long for? How long
Is it?" he asked.
"It's-five yards long, and some of
them are ten yard3 long!" snapped
Mrs. Jarr. "There! I hope that satis
fies you, Mr. Nosey!"
"I asked you why they were so
long?" said Mr. Jarr, grinning, for
he saw he was on the point of having
revealed to him one of the mysteries
of the goddess of feminine frills.
Mrs. Jarr sat down and gave him
a searching g'.anc-j. If Mr. Jarr
would walk into the trap, let him.
"Corset strings are made that
long so women can lace themselves,"
Bhe said. "If a woman has a maid
the maid can get the long ends
around her wrists and pull like all
possessed. If she hasn't a maid the
woman who Is lacing herself will
get the long ends around a bedpost
and get a good what-you-may-call-It
on it."
"A leverage?" suggested Mr. Jarr.
"Yes, a leverage," said Mrs. Jarr.
"And they are fiat because the
round strings cut, and they are silk
because, after all, good silk is the
strongest, nicest and wears the
best."
"Thanks. That'll be about all. I
hope you don't do the bedpost act."
"If you mean do I lace, I do not.
I don't have to," said Mrs. Jarr.
(No woman will admit she does.)
"Hut that isn't about all. Since you
are so nosey and while we aro dis
cussing the matter, I might as well
tell you that I must have a Classl
que." "A what?" asked Mr. Jarr, in
alarm.
"A Classlque; that's the new shape
that Is worn with the dlrectolre
gowns. If I got a dlroctoire gown;
and I should have one."
"But you have a dlrectolre gown,"
faltered Mr. Jarr.
"I have not!" said Mrs. Jarr sharp
ly. "That Is only a two piece suit a
walking suit of modified dlrectolre.
So, now that you are interested yau
can get mo a bralsealre Classlque.
And the cheapest are ten dollar.
Hut I can got a very uloe one a
beautiful one for olghteon. You
can't ait down In them when you are
wearing them, you know!"
Mrs. Jarr said this last as if It were
tho finality of easo and comfort de
scribed. "Why, I see corsets advertised for
three dollars," stammered Mr. Jarr.

"Yes, and I see men's suits adver
tised for five dollars, but I notice you
don't wear that kind."
"It's an awful lot of money for a
corset," repeated Mr. Jarr.
"Nonsense!" said Mrs. Jarr. "Mrs
Stryver gets hers made to order ir
brocaded satin. She never pays less
than seventy-five dollars. And it's
little enough for you to give me the
price of an eighteen dollar one since
you are so interested In the subject."
"Oh, Lord, how long?" exclaimed
Mr. Jarr, seeing the pit Into which
he had fallen.
"Five yards, and often ten, I said,
if you are still so nosey," replied
Mrs. Jarr.
But you bet he'll never be nosey
again.
Most of the club meetings and
usual regular social events in Marsh
field and North Bend have been
abandoned for the holidays as every
one is busy getting ready for Christ
mas, but there will be plenty of spe
cial events to make the holiday?
lively.
There will be a number of family
dinners and small parties for Christ
mas and several large social events.
The Milllcoma Club will entertain;

numbers by some of the best talent

and the club rooms will be decorated
with Oregon grape and flowers. The
club members expect to make this
one of the most pleasing of the en

You get what you cry for when
you are young, and cry for what you
get when you are old.
One of the Important holiday so
cial affairs will as usual this year be
the dance to be given by the Volun
