Thoy had Just conio to a mutual understanding, und ho had measured her finger for tho engagoment ring, and thoy wero In tho first throes of tender reminis cence "You do not remember," lie said, in a trembling voice, "you do not re member when you first saw mo?" "Yes, I do." "Did any thrill or throb tell your heart this happy moment would come? No; that could not bo ex pected." "Yes, something did seem to whis per that wo might become man and wife." "My darling." And ho kissed her fondly. "Yos; I remember I saw you from tho window leaving tho house, and I thought you were bandy-legged, and I thought how awful It would bo to marry a bandy-legged man, but It was only tho glass in tho window that wua uneven and made you look so."

Mo Night's Rest for a Year and Limit of Hits Endurance Seemed Near Owes Recovery to Cutlcura. "Aly son Clyde was almost com pletely covered with eczema. Physi cians trcatod him for nearly a year without helping him any. His head, face, and neck were covered with largo scabs which he would rub until thoy fell off. Then blood and matter -would run out and that would bo worse. Friends coming to see him said that if ho got well ho would bo disfigured for life. When it seemed as if ho could possibly stand it no longer, I used some Cutlcura Soap, Cuticura Oint mont, and Cutlcura Resolvent. That was the first night for nearly a year that ho slept. In tho morning there was a great change for tho better, in about six weeks ho was perfectly well. Our leading physician recommends Cutlcura for eczema. Mrs. Algy Cockburn, Shlloh, O., Juno 11, 1907." LOVE'S SACRIFICE. W- "I often think," sighed Mrs. Berk eley Dexter, "how perfectly good I could be if there were no other wom en lh tho world." She leaned back In her chair and gazed thoughtfully into space. I had my doubts as to the efilcncy of solitude, and I expressed thorn. "If I remember rightly," I added, "thero was only one woman in the Garden of Eden, and even she, poor, dear lady" Mrs. Dexter Interrupted with char acteristic disregard for any one's feel ings but her own. "Don't be silly," sho said, pleasantly. "I was really thinking or Lady Passay. Sho's such a dreadfully interfering old thing." "Old?" Her ladyship's coiffure ever defied Inspection, and my curiosity had always' been almost feminine. "I wonder. Her figure is youthful, and her cheek is childlike, still, ono never knows. And, after all, youth Is mere ly comparative." "Do you know Johnny Weeks?" Mrs. Dexter demanded, suddenly. "Hardly," I ventured to interpose. Mrs. Dexter was uncompromising In her candor as to tho sum of hor friend's years. "Ho Is 42," sho do clared. impassively: 'but I was tho youngest of a very largo family Johnny was an affectionate soul, and made lovo to us all In turn, as wo grew big enough; It was his way, and we expected It. Hut he was engaged to my sistera to ono of them at least." I sighed I believe from envy. "To lovo one of you," I observed, "is a lib oral education to lovo the wholo fam ily " I paused lost In my pursuit of adequate expression. Mrs. Dexter said: "Yos, of course,' In an absent sort of way. "Ho is to be congratulated on his cntorprlse,"I went. on. "Did he did he so to speak, pursue tho samo tac tics with you all, or did he allow for "Wat's do matter, Reginald, havo youso sworn off smokln?" "Yes. You see, I'm engagod now, and my fiancee objects to a dlsagreo able breath." Tho extraordinary popularity of flna whlto goods this summer makes tho choice of Starch a matter of groat im portance. Defiance Starch, being freo from all Injurious chemicals, is tho only ono which is safe to use on flno fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen er makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with tho result of perfect finish, equal to that when tho goods were new. Appearances. Little Margaret and her mother, whllo out walking, approached a par ticularly filthy and bearded organ grinder with his monkey, and her mother gave her a penny to bestow on the unfortunate animal.

Mrs. Dexter mado a variant effort to retain her dignity. "I beg your par don," she said, coldly, "on my part, at any rate, qulto properly Improper." "And, of course, you told Berkoloy all ahout It?" She turned on mo with a counter question.- "Why don't you get mar ried yourself?" she asked, "or, at least, engaged ?" "With peoplo like you and Lady Pas say about?" I ejaculated, "heaven for bid!"

"It's very sordid," I remarked, as I held out my hand, "but, after all, tho lady is to bo congratulated on her escape. She would have been wretched." "You don't really think so?" "I'm convinced of it. And what are you going to do now?" "I'm not quite sure," hesitated Mrs Dexter, "there aro just tho usual things going on, and I'm really rather popular as a hostess, with always a spare place for an old friend. Why not consider an early weok-ond? Berkeley would be delighted." "And Johnny?" "Oh, Johnny." Mrs. Doxtor's touo consigued Johnny to everlasting obliv ion.

"To bo absolutely correct, it was I who saved him, though, or course, Lady Passny lays claim to all tho credit. All sho did was to bully I never bully." "All things to all men,' I said, vaguely, and trusted the remark might fit in somehow.
