So Considerate
11 was a fussily Important aoclety man,
and he had no ua tor women of college
education. But on on occasion h Invited
a young college graduate, the daughter of
an old friend, to his hou, to take after
noon tea. It waa a windy day, and th
girl arrived at hi suburban home with her
skirts blown about and her hair tumbling
over lier eara, a state of affairs of which
she felt guiltily conscious for th whoi
of her visit. Tha lady of th house, Mrs.
Society, poured tea and discoursed of girls
in general.
"I agree with (dear James," sh said.
"that a college education la not tb beat
preparation for th futur Ufa of a young
woman." She peered Into tb cup to ae
If th maid had left them In good order,
and glanced at her gueet, who cowered In
her seat, feeling Intensely her disheveled
condition, and dimly wondering If It were
due to her college education.
Mr. Society, seeing that th offending
maid had left dust In the cup, frowned
"I think a college education usually unfits
young women for tha finer dutlea of do
mestic life." h said, and blew first In on
cup, and then In th other, to remove the
dust.
At that the college girl felt her spirit
rise to the skies. "Kor," as she explained
afterward, In telling the story, "we did
sometime blow the dust out of th oups,
when we gave tea parties, but w usually
did It before th guests got there."
Liver Seat of Hunger
Is your liver hungry?
Itecent scientific Investigation Indicate
that hunger appetite doe not start from
the stomach, as all believe, and aa w all
feel when hungered, but th call for food
really come from the fleshes of the hoi
body, mostly from th liver. This la held
to be proven by the fact that people who
have had to have their stomach taken
entirely from their body still have the ab

It la silly to deny that a goad many people
often drink not because they ar thirsty,
but for th sara reason that they too often
eat when they are not hungry, because
th food and beverage are o palatable
There are occasion, of course, when It 1

Amours of Amethyst Jones'
When Amethyst Jones' eye narrow down
to almost nothing, and then open very
wide, quite filled with a droamy, opal
escent light which la like the light that
lies In a woman' eyes when she watches
her sleeping babe, we know that he will
toll us of ft love that made a deep impres
sion on his soul, He is living again some
wet experience which Time has mel
lowed, which years have made beautiful.
"I shall tell you," said Amethya "ot
one of the dearest and altogether tb most
surprising love episode of my young man
hood. I say surprising, because she waa
a Boston girl. Boston girls are popularly
supposed to be distant and frigid. Allow
me to say, that If one can get th Better
of distance, one may dispel frigidity. The
result Is as charming as the discovery of
rare jewels, shimmering half bid, let us
say. In ft fairy drift of Immaculate snow.
"I first met sweet Mary Dean In ft
library In Boston. I saw, first of all her
lender and dainty and Irreproachable feet,
aa she stood on a little step ladder placed
beside shelves ot books. Mary was like an
angel, as she reached tor a book. It was
too high for her to grasp easily, and she
had but seised the coveted volume when
It tell from her hand and, but for me,
would have atruck the floor with ft dull,
sickening thud. I chanced to be so olose
to Mary that I dexterously caught the
volume at the precise Instant, and restored
It to the lady as sh stepped lightly down,
her wonderful cheek suffused with grati
tude and blushes. And I knew why. My
yes bad caught the UU of th book:
" 'Love In Library,'
by
Bepilmlus Oaroon.
"I say th lady blushed. The blush of
a demur Boston girl i fairer, mor dell
cate than crimson, more radiant than lilies
in the sunlight. The most glorious colors
of the universe soft scarlet and matchless
white.
"As I handed back th book I slipped my
card between Its pages. In those youth
ful, halcyon days I .was apt, Inventlv.
quick to conceive, rapid In execution. She
placed the book securely undvr her arm,
her lovely eye looked Into inln. Their
violet glory caused me to believe that until
that moment I had lived In vain. 'Thank
you,' she said.
"Her voice was soft as the murmur of a
woodland brook. In those two simple
words there was rousla sweeter than I
had ever heard. 'You ar welcome,' I
answered Intensely.
- "W hesitated, each of us. Th New
England temperament la judicial, deliber
ative, and always as calm as possible un
der the circumstances. The eye of New
England see. 8h had seen my card.
" 'Mr. Jones," said sh, 'Mis Mary Dean
would be pleased to have you call upon
her at 171 Summit avenue at 4 tomorrow
afternoon, If you ar at ail bookish, I may
add that Miss Dean and myself ar Iden
tical.' 'I bowed. Never had I bowed mor per
fectly. Tbe native grata and dignity ot
Miss Dean waa an inspiration. Tha next
afternoon I called upon her. Ther was
no eaat wind In the abode ef Mary Dean.
8he had been graduated from Wellesley
the year befor. and knew bow to keep
out east wind.
"We talked, not so much of books that
aftarnoon aa of th pretty chance that
had made us acquainted. I well recall
that when It grew dark w began altting
on th sofa. Wbn It becente quite dark
tier head was upon my shoulder. Neither
of ua bad ever loved before like that. It
was sweet, entrancing, wonderful! Speak

was but a cruel chance that took me for a
little time away from Boston, and Mary."
Amethyst Jone' eyes ' grew dim. H
sighed deeply. At last he overreached
himself. He Introduced Mr. Garcon to
Mary Dean. Of the result he' said:
"Now, you know, the chlofest thing In
the New England character Is a keen, un
dying, undeniable sense of Justice. When
iMary Dean met Septlmlua Uajcon,' tb
author ot 'Love In a Library,' she was
o overwhelmed with thi thought that he
was Indebted to him for having been the
primal cause ot the great love that that
she. decided at last that It was her duty
to marry Septlmius Garcon. Which i
may add, was accomplished without re
sistance on the part of Mr, Garcon.'
"But Amethyst Jones possesses, to this
day, a farewell letter from Mary Dean
which Is so sweet, so noble,, so just, that
his eyes sometimes grow wot when .be
read. The memory of Mary Dean is like
a faded rose clasped between the leaves
of a precious book. We all hav such, ft
book."
