Thn he sdJed. r-.edita-rviy, "Women tane strnge freaks." ' And some women dm t take strange freaks." the Hopeiul H u.ew f interrupted. They prefer to n arry the me.i tr.ey love If you'd ever stuuied as I have t.'.e sort of young nan that frequents t.ie summer resorts to which society g.rls are convened every year you'd be attomsned that more of them don't take the bit In their teeth and marry the chef, the chauffeur, the gardener of any other honest younj man that works for a living." "la that the tfceurv urn which you ac cepted my hand and heart?' inquired tte Commuter miscnievouely. "Now, you Itno' tii.it s sli;y" exchaimed hla wife. "I'm considering th.s matter seri ously. A girl at a U.iior.able resort has to choose her husband, if she takes Mm la her own set. from the id. sons of rich men or from the foreign and domestic fortune hunters, who are frankly after money. If she has any. and who ignore her il she hasn t. No other tyre of men ran afford to stay there all summer and the man with a two weeks' or a month s vacation would rather spend It in the internal regions than in a fashionable hotel The normal girl. If she It not warped by the self-interest and snobbishness of those around her. admires a man for what he la himself and what be accomplishes himself," "So endeth the first lesson." Interrupted the Commuter good naturedly. "No I'm not through yet." she continued impatiently. "How many men in that girl's particular set could earn their own living driving an outomobile, handling a plough, or oven a pick? I respect and admire any woman who has the singleness of heart and purpose to know what she wants of Ufa and to take It, no matter how much of a howl she creates." "I'm rather glad to hear you express such sentiments," ventured the Commuter. "I had the Idea a woman was too snob-,-r.ifh to atand up for another who took a social cropper. But. of course, you know your argument isn't sound. Tou assume tnat the only difference between the mil lionaire and tne gardener Is one of money. Now. there are all sorts of other differ ence of point of view of taste of man ners why," he added banterlngly, "the bridegroom might even eat green peas with a spoon or pie with his thumb! Do you suppose If he did the courts would call it fuel and Inhuman treatment T " Tou see. you won't be serious!" the Hopeful Housewife exclaimed, reproach fully. "Tou Insist on the unimportant things! It a man haa any trivial faults Told by the Troubled Tourist "Should you see a man suddenly side step or duck a you approach him the day.'' remarked the Troubled Tourist, "don't think he regard you a a highway man or that he haa been vaccinated. "JuM take a took at hi boiled, lobater face and you will m that he haa recently acquired a lovely case of sunburn that no summer around her teems to be absolutely complete without. "That painful sidestep and look of ex- tram apprehension are merely mute ap peal to keep off. for he's probably lust been clapped on the back by soma cheerful tdlot at the laat corner. He feels as though somebody had scraped his shoulder blades with a sheet of sandpaper, and he Is thoroughly enjoying himself. He can't atretch either arm out straight, and he Is certain he must be a red-hot proposition. Of course he had to go and wear that atheltlc looking costume suit with nothing but straps over the shoulder and the reat of It as shrinking as a violet. "Also, he would spend ten minute in the water and three hours on the sand, where he could be properly admired. For that reason he get no sympathy from you. especially as he tried to cool hit rapidly M istering skin wtth th sea water, which mad it burn ten times more, k But he bad a good time.

He doe not. "And to insure his being perfectly corh fortabl and enjoying the seaside souvenir th laundry man has put an extra dash of starch into his negligee shirt sleeves so that h la gently rasped every time he moves. Whenever he see a professional handshaker, th kind that grab your elbow with one hand and pumps away at your forearm with tne other, he runs and bide.

"Humph!" interrupted the Commuter dryly- "More light on the system! Tou ought to get up a complete treatise on the art of husband taming for the benefit of young bride! Maybe the gardener s bride might like a copy and after she's read It. go after a record. For It'll be a record If she 'Uves happily ever afterward.' All similar elopements have turned out badly the social differences are too Si-eat!" "The social differences are nil," contra dicted the Hopeful Housewife firmly. "No family can rise higher than Its source and what are the sources of our plutocratic families? They're the first to want to for get them! What do you suppose George Washington and Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson would say if they could read in some of the newspaper that Miss Jones w'.j enter the ranks of American aristocracy, by her marriage?' " "Ob, they'd see the humor of it," the Commuter answered eaaily. "Our preten sions don't last long enough to be taken seriously.

The mind of Christ is rather the summation of all that he Is: It Includes everything that gres to make up the Christ men know. This is never understood until one ap preciates ChrUt's impressions as his eye sweepe the world, and his purposes, his plans and his efforts growing out of hit Impressions as he notes the world's many races and cults, its divisions and discords.

Two or three days ago the School Mirm descended the gangplank of an ecean steamer, to the delight and relief of her anxious family 6he had taken a flying trip to Morocco. Summer is not an ideal time to vlait that tropic corner of th world, but it was the enly season in which she cou.d go. So the went. Her family had warned her against bri gands and cholera and other Moroccan probabilities. Tbey had pleaded with her. threatened her and almost tried physical force, all to no avail. She went. And during the five weeks of her absence they had worried and waited. Here she was, however, safe and sound, stepping again on her her native shore. So they forgave her. took her to their arms and carried her off to the mountains for "a real rant." a thy called it, before she started In for school again. The School Marm feel that her course was Justified. At any rate, as ah aits back In her hammock and talk of Africa a she caw it her listener are charmed. "Well, what wa it like, really?" asked her Aunt Emma. Aunt Emma never ha any experiences of her own. but she wants to know tho of everybody els. Th School Marm considered th ques tion for a moment.

Aunt Emma looked incredulous. "It s a delicious mixture of many tropic thingseplees and mint, incense, pepper, saffron, the breath of the sea and cameis. Even those are only a few of It many component parts. It's the very breath of the orient!" "Then 11 must be unwholesome." said Aunt Emma decidedly. The School Marm never argue with Aunt Err ma. She knows better now. "After the smells come the sounds." went on the School Marm. "All day long the blackbirds make tbeir music. At night one listens to the bulbuls." "What are they?" aaked Aunt Emma, "Are they a sort of African gaisha?" "Bulbul is the oriental name for night ingale." taid tha School Marm. "They sing all night In the cypresses. There are other sounds, vague and Indeterminate. In a bamboo grove, for instance, you hear faint sounds as if the trees wer sighing and groaning. "Then th street noises are fascinating.
