Siuitn ClniiB filled Dame Society's stockIng - Ing full to overflowing" with the goodies of life. If that young lady did not need bromo- Bcllzer every morning It was a marvel. Tlicro wcro Christmas dlnnera galore , luncheons , dances , cnrd parlies and every kind of an entertainment crowded Into the days and nlghU. The premier affair of the week was the CuilahyCowlnvcddliiR and UH concomitant eventH. The cotillion was elali- orate In every detail us was also the Christ inas dinner and the dance following at For est Hill. Morand's assembly was thu scene of several brilliant dancing parties. N'ext week'H chronicled events show a Blight lull In tfio festivities , though two elegant receptions and a brilliant ball nro promised. How should they know he was a married man ? I'lty it Is that men are not marked "engaged" by a sparkling solitaire or Homo other contrivance. It all came about this way. The Illustrated Iee ! displayed portraits traits of some of the most prominent young buolnora and professional men of the city In last Sunday's edition. Hl.s was among them. Hamlsomo clear-cut features that would appeal to most "disengaged" young women and particularly to Impressionable college girls. One of three little maids from school In the privacy of her own dainty boudoir gazed and gazed .again at this particularly fasci nating physiognomy. How shu admired a broad , low forehead and hair parted In the middle. That Greek nose and firm chin she Jalrly adored. And the eyes ! Oh , the eyes ! Now brother Harry must get acquainted with the "adorable , " and In the meantime the llttlo maid took her scissors ; clip , clip , a little fitting and the "adorable" was look ing out at her from the daintiest of gold chatelaines. Then came another gazing sea son which foreboded evil for the college man who sent her allcgrettls and took her to the proms. She gava a little start ns the time caught her eye. Half after three and she had prom ised to meet the other two little maids at one of their homes early in the afternoon. Ono long , tender gaze and she snapped the case and fastened the watch at ber belt. But the consciousness that he was with her and would bo forever made her little heart beat faster. Of course Uio girls must not know. She would bo careful not to open her watch. The three little- maids met with many klsacs and embraces. Their tongues kept pace with the flying time. As the shadows of evening drew on one little maid exclaimed : " 1 must go , girls ; I wonder what time " opening her watch and quickly closing It again. "I 0 why , It isn't going. What time Is U , dear ? " to another llltlo maid. "Oh , it Isn't late ; but why , I forgot to wind , mine this morning. Is your's running ? " to the third llttlo maid while the evening shadows concealed the suffused blushes. "Tho mainspring is broken , " said the third little maid lamely. "No , sis : I had It fixed for you yesterday , " said the big college brother from the li brary. "Oh , come , " said the other two little maids , with revived spirits. "There's a man in the case , " shouted one. "Let's HCO him , " cried the other. And then a foot ball scrap ensued and all the watches somehow came Into the hands of the big college brother. Then there were pleadings not to open them. There were tearful entreaties and bribes of cigars , confections , pillows any thing ! but to no avail. Kach watch was held up to view and each displayed the same masslvo brow ; the game adorable Greek nose ; the same altogether lovely hair and the same care-frco expression , "so unlike a married man , " as one little maid walled. llut the big college brother offered to Introduce the "adoralile's" wife to the lit tle maids if they doubted his statement. And now the big college brother Ins only to mention the subject of married men and three llttlo maids full pleadingly at his feet. The participants In a swell wedding last week have been whispering among them selves the question , Who Is It ? It happens MRS. ANDERSON'S BABY. You couldn't convince Mrs. Anderson tlint Cupid ever was as pretty as her little Rirl. Mrs , II. C. Anderson is veil known in South Uritnin , Conn. , where she lives. She is very enthusiastic about Dr. Pierce's I'avorite Prescription although no more to than thousands of other women who have been simi larly benefited. She writes : "I > n ring the fii-ft month uf the period , of KChtn- lion I coutd not keep anything on inv htomadi.

" Mothers who suffer undue twin prior to or succeeding the baby'i : birth are invited to consult Dr. K. V. Pierce , by letter , abso lutely without charge. The great success which has attended the careful methods pursued by Dr. Pierce , has caused imita tors to spring up , who make oilers of free advice , which they are not competent to give , not being physicians , when you are invited to "write to a woman , " ask the simple question , "Is this womana , physician ? " You will find that ahe is not , and does not , and dares not claim to be , a physician. To offer such advice is deceitful. To receive it is dangerous- . Prospective mothers should send for a free copy of Dr. Pierce's great 1,000 page book the ' 'Common Sense Medical Advisr.

He stood there mechanically receiving the white pasteboards , Just as ho would have done In taking tickets at a theater , without looking at the people who presented them. One unaccompanied woman came up without a card. "Cards , please ? " asked the accommodating young man. "I have no cnrd , " came the answer. "Xo otto Is permitted to go In except tlioso with cards. " "Well , 1 am a relative of the groom. " At that moment the card-taker elevated hla eye and recognized the mother cf ono of the necessary parties to the ceremony anil apologies naturally followed , Uut they arc still asking , Who Is It ?

HP also happened to stroll by an Itinerant photographer , who was just mean enough to snap-shot him as ho passed along. A handsomely mounted print from the negative found Its way Into big Christmas stocking , much to his sur prise , the figures appearing so distinctly that he could not mistake them. Nobody , of course , would know anything about this , were It not for an Inquisitive sister who wanted to know whose picture ho had , al though naturally enough her InqulBltlvcness has not yet been satisfied.
