OpOM wa» wont to declare that hi*
jP environment bad eradicated every
** vestige of sentiment that he bad
originally possessed.
"How can a fellow retain any feel
ing of saeredness in regard to proposal
or an engagement after hearing such
things canvassed by the girls as I
have?” he would say, pathetically, "It's
my firm belief that most women have
no more sentiment than oyster. If ever
I propose It will be In such a way that
the girl can't make fun of It afterward
among the other girls.”
Tom was an only »on. He had seven
sister* and «numerable girl cousins.
Tom was thoroughly conversant with
the love affairs of all of them.
There was good ground for his belief
that he knew more of the Inside facts
as to how men propose than any other
man living. Ills presence had never in
terrupted or postponed any account of
a girlish adventure, a flirtation or a
proposal.
"It’s only Tom,” the girls would say.
Aud Tom rather enjoyed the revela
tion*.
From the height of bis sujierior
knowledge. Torn occasionally advised
hl* comrades, w ho were les* blessed
with sisters and cousins.
“It's no use, Billy,” he said to Billy
Baxter, who had suggested a proposal
by letter as an easy way; “I It's no use
trying to dodge the inevitable. If there
is any particular 'she' In your ease,
don't try writing, for even If she In
tends to refuse you she will write ask
ing you to call, and you must go over
the whole thing by word of mouth, be
fore she drops you Into the depths with
• 'no.'
"Besides, It gives the girls an awful
chance at a fellow.” be continued. "I'm
not calling any name«, but less than a
week ago I heard a letter proposal read
by the recipient, and a dozen girls as
sisted In composing a suitable reply. I
furnished the stamps and posted the
letter. The poor devil Is In Germany.
I also cabled my condolences. 1 now
they will be appreciated when that let
ter reaches him.”
Billy groaned dismally.
"I Infer you've already sent your let
ter.” said Tom, cheerfully.
Billy groaned again In reply.
"Now, I like the 'Barkis is w illin' ’
plan,” went on Tom. "You know Bob

Satn Weller calls 'the gift of gab very

"I suppose the regulation thing* hap

to «how of bow little avail are great

"But such abruptness might displease
some girls." suggested Billy.
"So It might." admitted Billy; "for

Packing of Gohl Leaf.

artists' materials as he held out a tiny
booklet for the latter's inspection. “1
bought this Issik of English gold leaf
of you a few days ago, and on turning
the slats of paper between the leaves
I discovered that they contained por
tions of the Scripture, and seemed to
have Is-eu cut from various parts of the
Bible.”
"So they were." answered the dealer,
"but there Is nothing extraordinary
about that fact when you understand
it. All English gold leaf, as a regular
matter of business. Is packed In little
books made up of pages of Bible cut to
the requisite size and stitched to

"No desecration Is Intended, but the
practice of packing tbe material In this
way is a well established custom. The

more evenly set and the printing finer

books.
"Printed paper has always lieen In
