After losing three rubbers sometimes,

you are apt to feel slightly wearied and

how the score can add up, even at very

could not go on wearing that old green
dress any more, so I decided to give her
my old blue and Agnes said she'd give her
her old pink.
When we, told Kitty about It she was up j

Agnes and I both remarked about it. My

perhaps a new waist lining and belt, and

don t see how she bad the nerve to offer
It to any one. Kitty looked at them and

Since the movement began to have all
the British Marys unite In giving a corona
tion present to Queen Mnfy the number
of women, children aoJ,'men bearing that
name Is proving to be astonishing. Already
it Is being predicted that 000.000 Marys will
ccntrlbute. i.
Those who Know declare that there must
be at least 1:000.000 women whe bear that
name or Its variants In England, Scotland
and Ireland. And there are few among
them, according to the London Queen, who
will not give their penny or their pound to
tho offering to be made to Queen Mary at
the time of the coronation.
It is only by careful reckoning that one
can realize the number of Marys. There
are several In the royal family. First
comes Princess Mary of Wales, Princess
Victoria and Queen Maud of Norway are
both Marys, and Princess Henry of Bat-
tenberg is a Marie. And two cousins of
the king have the name of Marie. These
are the crown princess of Rumania and
Princess Marie Louise of Schleswlg-Hol-steln.
Then several of the duchesses can be
come contributors. The duchess of Nor
folk and the duchess of Bedford are both
Mary, the duchess of Newcastle Is May,
the IUiohess of Rutland Marlon and the
dowager duchess of Grafton Marie. in

Marys
Scotland the reigning duchess of Hamilton
and her predecessor, the former duchess,
are both Marys, and the duchess of Rox
burghe is May. The duchess of Abercoin
makes another Mary, and she represents
Ireland.
Mary Is a name that, of course, stands
high Is favoT with Roman Catholics. Most
of their women bear It; Indeed. It la even
given to a few of their men, as In the case
of the late lord Arundel, the duke of Nor
folk's son by his first marriage, who had
fhe names of Philip Joseph Mary. It is of
1 !Sl
' ;..iV
Interest to note that the name of Mary was J Jonn T, Russell, 1732 South Seventeenth St ,
rare In western Europe until the time ofl.. o oin .
the crusades. After that, however. It cams
much Into favor, and every Christian coun
try has now its roll call of celebrated
Marys and Maries
By the way, when this welcome scheme
was announced several variants of Mary
were Included; but one wishes that a place
could be given to the Irish Maureen, to the
French Mariette and to the Spanish Mar
iana, and also to. the old name of Miriam,
which first appears In Bible history.
Remember This.

omnibus happen to Dr. Jenks?"

Oh, You
"1 never know whether you are serious
or In earnest," he said in a tone of dis
tinct annoyance.
"No 7" she responded with almost a sneer
at his confessed inability to analyze her.
"No," be replied, sullenly, as he threw
his cigarette Into a Scvrea vase so darkly,
deeply blue that It mltjht have been of
royal blood.
"Why not, pray?" sho asked with pro
voking persistence.
"Because you are never the same."
"Indeed?"
"Quite indeed."
"And why am I never the same?"
"because you art so different."
She rose and went to the window, where
she stood looking out upon the gay throngs
on the street.
"Really, Mr. Sholmondely," she said, ' I
do not understand."
"I said. Miss Thomeycroft," he replied
slowly and Incisively, "that you were so
different."
"But why, pray?"
"Because you were never the same, ' he
explained with preclalon'Anythlng that Is
not the same Is different, Isn't It?"
She came awsy from the window and
stood over him threateningly.
Keeping Tab on Ties
J
To tell the ordinary person that railroads
are now adopting a system for keeping a
close record on every tie along the line
would most likely bring an incredulous
smile. Tet one railroad, the Lehigh Valley,
has already adopted the plan, which will
enable the company to determine with
mathematical accuracy the relative effi
ciency of the different woods and the value
of the creosote preservation treatment.
It Is done In this way: First, dating nails
ar manufactured; with the proper num
erals on the heads, indicating the year;
for example, "11" meaning the year 1911.
Then one of these nails Is driven Into each
new tie as It Is laid on the track. Thus In
the future the maintenance of way sxperta
will be able upon the replacement of a tie
to know Just how long It baa lasted.
