“My dear, don't l>e any more foolish

“You don’t know Arthur.”
“I know men, and I don’t mind sa y ­

“And you think he won’t be hurt?”
"I khow be won’t.”
“But I’m uot sure!”
“Oh, well, wear the hat, then. It’s
the only alternative.”
Edith shuddered.

“W hat,^deceive him? H ow can I?
And yet better deceive him than hurt
him. How can I tell him I despised

Mrs. Glenn's testim ony ttiat Mrs. Av­
ery kad not ever tried it on, he con

that the difference in price w as not re­

the condition and Joyously carried, off

"Thank goodness that’s over!” cried

guiltily brought In the box.
“It’a over, but I’ve deceived him.
and I’m m iserable,” bewailed Edith.
“Tell him all about it, then!"
“Never! I must suffer in sNencei”
Thnt night upon Arthur’s return
Edltb flung her nrtus about him and
with her nice burled In bis coat collar,
thanked him alm ost tearfully for the
loveliest hat she had ever had.
“The v e ry ’One I chose!" she gasped.

Wffh trem bling hands she drew from
the box a hnt o f moderate proportions
and graceful arrangem eut — a very
symphony in blue aud w hite—and set
it upon her golden locks. The effect
was magical.

“But—but'ZL,stammered Arthur, “It’s

herself w ith the hatp in s.«- *

“Oh, Arthur, I want this one! 1 must
keep it! You see yourself"—
"But It Isn’t worth $25.”
“Twenty-five dollars! Dear, did you
pay all that? n o w extravagant, but

“I ’ll go tomorrow morning”—
“N opno! L e a v e '1t to me. Men al­

“Very well, but they m ust refund the

they hit Upon th#~hat you liked, but
the other w as so much handsomer."
"This Is Ideal,” said Edith, but her
voice trembled.
"I. must get the $10 out o f my Hav­

what a f.ingle o f deceit! H e’ll find It
nil out and never love me again!”
The next d a y was Good Friday, and
Edith went to church, but she came
home with a headnehe. On Saturday
morning she could not get up. He
was seriously troubled about her.
"I’ll send up Dr. Moore, dear,” he
said. “You must get well and wear
thnt Easter hat tomorrow. I’ve set my
heart on It.”
Upon that, to the poor mun's utter
amazement, she burst Into a torrent of
tears aud sobs.
“I'll never, never wear It!” she cried.
“Oh, I'm a wicked, wicked wom an!”
“Edith, my love! For heaven's sake!

Dead
Som ething like 2,000,000 letters an*
uually fall of delivery In the United
8tates ow ing to Insufficient postage or
Incorrect addresses. The dead letter
office at W ashington em ploys a lurge
force o f clerks to haudle these. The
packages that have been received nt
the dead letter office have contained
false teeth, glass eyes, brass keys and
tbeugauds of ot|/er things that one
would never exffect to ffnd In the
mails.
It would be interesting to kuow bow
many engagem ents huve been broken,
how many friends huve been estraug-
ed, how many fond ht'arts have not
been reunited, bow uiuny ileuls huve
fallen through, how much moucy has
been lost and bow many quarrels have
l»eeu prevented by letters thut never
came.
A pretty romance w as revealed at
the dead letter office the «other day
when a young wotnuu called there to
see If a wrongfully addressed letter
had b*“en received. It had, and she
was greatly relieved. “1 heard thut
Jack w as untrue,” she said, “and
wrote him breaking our engagem ent.
The day after I wrote I found out thut
I w as wroug. My heart w as almost
broken, but Jack kept right on com ing
to see me and never mentioned the let­
ter. I began to think I must have
m isdirected It and find that I did. It
must have b«*en fate. Now he will
hever know."—Bt. Paul Ploueer Press.
ALL THE WAY ROUND.
An Odd Sort of Dinner and th s Rea­

Lord Polkem m et, a Scottish lord of
session, usually retired to his country
residence during the part o f tbe year
when the court does qo business
John Ilagart, the Scottish advocate,
equally Idle fr A i a sim ilar cause,
went to shoot, and, happening to pass
Ixtrd r .’s property, he met his lord-
ship, who politely Invited John to take,
or, as he said, to tak’, a fam ily dinner
w ith him self, hla w ife and daughter.
John accepted the Invitation, and
they all assem bled nt the hour o f din­
ner. There w as n Joint of roasted veal

middle, calf's bend on one side o f the
soup and veal cutlets on $be other,
c a lf s foot Jelly between the soup and
roast veal and c alf’s brains between
the stew ed veal and the soup.
“Noo,” said his lordship In h » own
blunt way, “Mr. Ilagart, you may very
likely think this an o«M sort o f dinner,
but y e ’ll no wonder when you hear the
cause o f It. W e keep nae company,
Mr. Hngnrt, and my daughter hers ca­
