In the old times we did not call it the "ly-lac" but the "lay-lock" and In Merrle England ij was called the pipe tree, Diue pipe ana pipe privet. In the woody stems of the lilac bush is a pith which Is easily bored out, leav ing the stem a "pipe," and perhaps on some occasions these may have been used as u stem for a tobacco pipe. The lilac is of the genus called "syrlnga" and that is a Greek word meaning pipe or tube.

Alice in the Subway By JANE OSBORN (3, 1U, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. He was the kind of man who seemed to be holding a continual competillon for the "prettiest girl" or "the most beautiful girl." In this competition he was sole judge and the contestants were girls he chanced to meet or to see anywhere. When he went into a restaurant where women served he cast his eyes about to find the girl who, In his opinion, was the prettiest. Then he took a seat at a table that seemed to be in her zone. After a glance he could tell you which of the girls 'was the prettiest, which the most beautiful. In the office of a friend he would look about in search of the best-looking stenographer. It seemed to be a game that interested him Immensely and that made even a ride In a crowded subway car some thing of an adventure. Thus he was engaged one afternoon when the offices of the business sec tion had Just poured forth their thou sands of young women to make their way homeward. This time the laurels were awarded without delay. The girl who stood opposite him in the vesti bule of the subway car was so fresh of face, so gracefully proportioned, so brown of eye and golden of hair that she won with flying colors. In fact she was probably the prettiest girl he had ever seen In a subway train. In fact she was perhaps the prettiest girl he Then the surprising thing happened. The pretty girl, with quick color com ing to her cheeks, stepped over to him with hand outstretched. "You're John Laurence, aren't you?" she said with perfect conviction. "I haven't seen you for ten years, I'm sure. Yet I knew you In a flash." It was surprising, because the girl didn't look at all like the girl who would respond so quickly to his look of searching Interest. "You bet I am. John Laurence's my name, all right." "You don't remember me?" she asked with a little disappointment. "I remember your face couldn't forget that," he assured. "But for the minute the name has slipped me. "Alice," she reminded. "I used to sit in front of you in school. You used to walk home after school, too, and carry my books. And I used to call you Johnny to tease you, and you used to put the end of my braid In your Ink well." "So I did, so I did. You look just the same. Let's see, how many years ago was that?" 'Ten, wasn't It?" she figured. "We were fifteen then and we're twenty- five now. .That's ten, isn't It?" Enormous satisfaction swept over the man. He was thirty-two and a girl who didn't look more than twenty thought he was her own age. "I guess I look a whole lot older than you," he flushed. "Well, maybe, but then I suppose you have worked pretty hard. I heard you had graduated from Harvard and had gone in business with your uncle, she said, and again the man swelled with pride. So he looked like a Har vard man, did he? "Weren t we fool lsh?" she went on. "You and I used to be such good pals, John, and then we quarreled over some trifle." We were more than pals, weren't we?" said the man, making a success- ful effort not to overdo the matter. yet t)ager to know what role he was entitled to play. "Oh, you used to make calf love, John, but that doesn't count. We'll forget all that. But I'd really like to see you again and tnlk over school days." She put her hand out. "Come and see me some time. I live exactly where I did ten years ago. The neigh' borhood hasn't changed. I am getting out here tonight to see a friend." And there the man stood glued to the side of the car. Why he didn't follow the girl out of the car he could not tell. When he came to his senses and tried to follow, the subway door slammed in his face. That night he took note of the facts on hand. Though he had no thought at first that the girl was just getting an excuse to talk to him he was as sured, as her face and manner had assured him that she was not the kind of girl to do that sort of thing. He was sure of her story. She had simply mistaken him for some one else. All he knew of her was that she lived where she had ten years ago, that her first name was Alice, and that she had gone to school ten years ago with a man named John Laurence, now twenty-five, who had graduated from Harvard, and bore a striking re semblance to him, Jim Kelly. After all, the clues were not bad. As the man thought It over, he believed that the girl realized her mistake before she left. Much as he admired his own personal appearance he could not be-. lleve that she could have looked at him as closely as she did and not realize that he was more than twenty- five. Jim Kelly took time the next day to drop In at the Harvard club In town and find from there something of one John Laurence. He found that he lived and operated, with his uncle, a factory, some sixty miles out of the city. The next day was Saturday and Jim had promised to take Kats Hick ion, to whom he was then engaged to the theater, but he made his ex cuses and took 2 o'clock train to the home of the Laurences. He found John Laurence, and was not flattered at having to consider himself his double. To be sure, they were of the same build and coloring. Their features were similar, though John Laurence looked his junior by ten years. But while Jim Kelly was the mirror, of fashion, with affected sprightllness of manner, John Laurence seemed indifferent of his appearance was digging around some apple trees in his orchard in a pair of otd army trousers when Jim called. "I've come on a rather curious er rand," he began In a grandiose man ner. "You see, I happened to meet a little girl a chance meeting, but we got rather well acquainted. The lit tle girl seemed to take a fancy to me asked me to call. She gave me lfer address written on a card and some how I lost It Now, I didn't want to disappoint her. Being a man of re sources I tried to work on what clues bad. She spoke of having gone, to school with a John Laurence said that she thought we might be cousins because of a slight family resemblance. So I happened to be out here today and thought I'd drop around and get you to give me the little girl's address. can't remember her last name, but her first name Is Alice. She said she lived exactly where she did when she knew you. She said she hadn't thought bf you once for ten years until some thing In my face reminded her dis tinctly of you." Something in the last remark brought, the color rising to John Lau rence's face. "You lie," were words very near his lips. He, John Lau rence, had thought of Alice ninny, many times and he could not believe that his little childhood sweetheart had never once thought of him. "I thought you'd give me the ad dress. I have other ways of getting it, but I want to get in touch with her now so as not to disappoint her." "You 11 have to use your other sources then," said John Laurence. And I wish you good afternoon." Jim Kelly did not feel entirely thwarted by this rebuff, and two days later when he chanced to see the charming Alice In the subway one evening he felt that he had been pe culiarly blessed by fortune. She was even more charming and radiant than she had been the first time he saw her. "This time I'm going to get your ad dress, little lady," he said. "I must apologize for forgetting to ask you for it the last time." Then he noticed the circle of dia monds on her left hand. Perhaps she had drawn her glove off on purpose. "Does that ring mean anything?" asked Jim awkwardly. "It has the most wonderful meaning In the world. It is all such a won derful coincidence. You know the time saw you first I thought you were John Laurence, and I guess I didn't give you a chance to say you weren't. The very next day the real John Lau rence came to see me. He was a very old and very good friend of mine and now now we're engaged. Don't you think that was a wonderful coinci dence?" , "Oh, I don't see anything very re markable about that," said Jim Kelly. The subway train had stopped and he suddenly decided it was time for him to get off. "Who'd have thought," he said to himself with a, smile, "that old Jim Kelly would play cupid in spite of himself!"

"When I get that stenography learned I can go right out and get to be private secretary to some big man," she said. . The principal, knowing the girl, asked: "How about instruction in English? Do they give any courses in spoken or written English at your bust ness school?" "Sure," the girl assorted. "They learn you to talk and write correct" New York Evening Post. Still Doing Business.

(Copyright by Will M. Maupln;) O Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER BEND OF THE ROAD "IXZHETHER in the work-a-day " world, In the lecture room, or in some chosen field of diversion where honor Is at stake, you may sometimes become depressed at your slow prog ress In attaining your heart's fondest wishes. Your friends seem to go sailing on favorable tides, while you are beset by adverse currents and opposing gales. Or you may be doggedly climb ing steep hills while they are striding merrily on a level road with the wind at their back, the sunshine playing hide-and-seek among the gleaming leaves, while the birds redouble their songs to give encouragement and make the Journey pleasant. Ferret-faced men and bobbed- haired, spectacled girls are making their mark, while you with your good- looking features, your stout and healthy body, of which you are admit tedly vain, seem all th while to be flirting with open failure, unable to dodge It, in spite of your desire to do so. Or again, In your frequent moods of dejection, you may fancy that Fate has a grudge against you, and Is fully determined to hold you in bondage until the final farthing has been paid, all of which, If you will soberly re flect, Is but an absurd phantasm of the mind. If you have good sense without van ity, a penetrating mind and a dlsposl tion to "live and let others live" with a fair amount of energy, there Is no reason at all why you should com plain. To deal honestly with yourself In such matters, compare your tempera ment, manners, industry and dress with those upon whom you incline to look with scowling eyes and envious heart. After such an examination, If you should find a deficiency bunlsh It, sum mon ail your resolution and press for ward on the right road. Let no im pediment oppress you. To overcome obstacles you must climb over them or seek another course. Do this per sistently, faithfully and without falter ing, for there Is a bend in the road Just beyond, where the signboard tells you, as it has been told thousands of others, which way you should go. Those whom you have been envying, those plain persons whose presence you shun, have within them a line no bility of soul, which you might with profit to yourself imitate and acquire If you go about it In the right spirit and possibly in the end beat them to the goal.
