Oct. 29 Much ontrovrrjr ha brfii aroutcd by public dtdaraiion by Rv. G. Maur ice Elliott tint he ha srro an.l walked and talked with angrM. Mr. Elliott ii rector of the Lincoln khire parish of Snilterby. lit hat given a circunutantial account of nVeetlng with an angrl at a time when liin wife was seriously ill and medical opinion was divided on the queition of performing an operation on her, "My wife and I prayed that an angel mtttht be ent to tell ui distinct ly whether an opentinn wat re quired?" aaya Mr. Klliott. "The angel rame to us. e both hw htm. lit was of the male ex, bright and shining in appearance, and dressed in white. He said: 'In answer to your prayer the Lord has scut me to tell you that the specialist who advises an operation it wrong in his diagnosis, and that such operation would be fatal." "1 laid to this guardian angel: 'Will you now lead me to jome medi cal man or surgeon who will prove to mo scientifically that you are right?" The angel replied "Yea," and told me to take my wife to Brigh ton. "We went to Brighton and the angel led us to a certain hotel and told us to take rooms there, and said that seated next to us at table would he a leading London surgeon, and that after dinner he would go up into the drawing room alone, and that 1 was to follow him and engage him in conversation until I extracted the promise from him that he would examine my wife that pight. "All this actually happened. The surgeon, who was a Harlcy street man, examined my wife that night and assured me that no operation was needed and that everything would come out all right. "I then told him that I was told to speak to him by a guardian angel, to which he replied: "I am not in the least surprised, because before I left London to come here for a few weeks' rest by the sea I knelt down and asked God to lead me to some one to whom my knowledge and skill could be of real help.' We grasped hands and gloried in the fact that there was such a thing as a lively faith." Mr. Klliott holds firmly to his be lief that a person s guardian angel is always with him. "There are many men and women with peculiar psych ic gifts, and in the presence of such persons angels are able to material ize." Beauty Sues for Gems V y.v - . - 4 Jack and Jill -v He Vied to walk into the little dining room nonchalantly, but Jack's notion of nonchalance must have been gained from his observations of the manner of nonchalance of movie heroes, for he gave his Jill girl a hint of a conspiracy. "What is it?" she asked mildly, glancing up from the side table. . . "What is it?" he repeated in feign ed surprise. 'What's what?" "Well, I don't know?" she dim pled. "But it's something." "Gosh, Jill, you're the limit," he exclaimed. "Talk about intuition." And he trotted back into the hall to presently re-appear with a long card board box. Jill opened it and there were a dozen beautiful red roses. "'Aren't they just beautiful?" Then she threw him an odd look, v "Whom are they for, dear?" "Why, they're for you, of course,'' said Jack carelessly. "Whom should thc-y be for?" "But Jack" for she had noticed the name of the fashionable florist on the box "they must have cost " ..."It isn't polite for-a lady to ask what flowers cost when a gentle man sends them." She ran her fingers through the damp blossoms and breathed in their perfume gratefully. "Butwhy?". "Why what?" "Whv did vou tret them?" "Goodness" sake, honey," he cried, almost impatiently, "you talk as jf I never brought you any roses be fore.' : "You haven't for a long time." "Well, I'm so busy at the office these days I just forget about em. But his Jill-girl was not satis fied. This was too trite, too trans parent. 'But what made you think of them today?" . "Nothing. I just happened to think you'd like to have them so I stopped in on my way home, and bought them. Now, that's all there is to it. Of course, if you don't like them" "But of course I like them, dear. And it was awfully sweet of you to think of them." And she kissed him. "How much are roses these days?" she enquired ldlv, after a pause. "Oh, from $5 to $10 a dozen," he replied airily. "Were these $5 or $10?" Jill, you're positively incorrig ible." he cried. "And I'm never go ing to tell you how much they cost." And so there -was no more talk about it But the mystery rankled in Jill's mind. She woke up that night and thought of it But three days later the mystery was explained. On Saturday when she spread out his office suit to be sent over to the little tailor shop on the corner for the weekly pressing she found a tiny erumaled clipping from a newspaper. It was only a frag ment which had evidently been clipped from the editorial page. And it was in a single sentence which read: ' "How long has it been since you sent your wife a dozen roses like you used to before yon married her?" And Jill smiled tenderly as she tucked the clipping back in her Jack's vest pocket Copyright, 111. Tbompsoa Tivr Lydia Lipkowska, Russian prima donna, who has fiWl suit against Samuel Schepps, Inc., of New York, for jewels and furs valued at $127,000. The jewels and furs were given to her by the late Czar of Russia, it is said. Mme. Lipkowska says Schepps gained possession of the articles by misrepresenting himself as a broker. Day of Lunch Box Passes Even Stenos Wont Be Seen With Noon Meal Under Arm The lunch dox has "passed." Do you remember a few years ago how every stenographer and clerk, and many business men came down town every morning with their lunches wrapped up in newspapers? Some of them used to carry their "snack" in tin boxes which folded up when empty. But now you seldom see anyone carrying lunch. It isn't being done. Why, do you suppose for one minute that trim Mabel, the stenographer, in her French heels, silk dress and furs would be seen carrying her lunch I Not so you can notice it. Cafe Business 3ooms. And with the passing of the lunch box has grown the eating house in dustry in downtown Omaha. No less than 10 new restaurants have been opened in downtown Omaha in the last year. And it is estimated that 70,000 meals are served in these eat ing houses every week day, of which 40,000, a little more than half, are noon-day meals. Instead of opening her lunch in the office and eating stale sand wiches, hard-boiled egg and apple as she used to do, Mabel now trips out to an "eat" place where she pays all the way from IS cents to $1 for her meal. Lunch Box Out of Date. The thrifty eat in the little, one arm places a cup o' coffee and doughnuts or piece of pie, perhaps. From that it runs by degrees up to places like the new Brandcis tea room, Burgcss-Nash tea room or one of the clubs. But the man or woman who car ries the lunch from home and eats it in office or store is decidedly out of date. Ark Made of Cypress. The wood of which. the ark was built has been identified by many scientists as cypress. Nowsstands in Paris Carry Ads Of iMate Seekers "Matrimonial Notice Board" Used by Both Sexee Crowd Cheer or Jeer At Cards. Faris, Oct, 39. For more than a year there ha appeared in France a Journal dc Marriages, wincn prints long lists of "marriageable men an, women." This sheet has big sub. tcrintion list. It ii to be thought, however, that its columns are not big enough to contain all the names and qualifications of "marriageable per sons." for ouite recently newsstands along the principal boulevards have reserved notice boards tor matrr monial advertisements." They contain such fascinating for mulas as: Tiquant brunette seeks husband. "Affectionate blonde wants to mar ry."

There is the "blonde Dutchman who wants to build ud a happy home with a prct ty French girl." There is the "only son of rich and aged parents who seeks demoiselle cf good morals." Crowds gather round such boards and cheer, or jeer as the cards are displayed. . Stenographers Click In Timelo One-Step London. Oct. 29. Dozens of ttin erant street bands, mostly brass, but occasionally of' the string varie ty, are the latest additions to tne attractions of London. The average number of performers is six, and, in addition, there are generally two collectors. These bands spring out at one from every corner of the city. One may be turning a supposedly peace ful corner when the blanrant note of a furious cornet causes a war worn veteran to jump in the air. And barely has he recovered before jingling collecting box, pushed into his face, gives him still a further shock. The bands are having their effect on the life of London. I he ma chines of a roomful of stenographers may be heard clicking in time to a one-step.

So say the local marriage license bureau The reasoning sounds reasonable, too. Archibald has been keeping cortv pany with Agnes all througn tne good, old summer time. They've been going to Krug park dances and to the Rialto and Strand and Sun and over to Manawa and he's been calling at her house with boxes of candy and all that. But now the parks are cold and nature is chill and, upon the imagina tion of Archibald dawns the charm of a home, a home of his own with red-shaded lamp, and big easy chairs and a talking machine. Ah, and who shall be queen of this little paradise? Who but Agnes? she s just made for the part. Archi bald suddenly realizes this when the weather grows chill.
