The Silver-Hess wedding, the absent-
mindedness of Mrs. Graves and the un-
precedented November blizzard work-
ed together for the good «f Roland
Baxter.
The Silver-Hess wedding was sched-
uled for Denver. The absentminded
Mrs. Graves and the relentless bliz-
zard met In Chicago.
Polly Hess had recently moved to
Chicago, and when her brother's fian-
cee wrote that the wedding would oc-
cur directly before Thanksgiving day
and would she please have a ducky
frock of leaf green chiffon cloth to
wear as maid of honor Polly instantly
decided that Chicago was a very big
city and one in which a new dress-
maker must be sought with discretion.
Upon her musings entered Mrs.
Graves, whose faculty for switching
from one topic of conversation to an-
other with lightning rapidity was as
amusing to her friends as it was be-
wildering to new acquaintances. Said
Mrs. Graves:
“Of course I can help you out. My
friend, Mrs. Baxter—you never did see
such clothes. By the way, didn't Mrs.
Daly look like a frump at the club
meeting Thursday? Now, Mrs. Baxter,
my dear—did you ever hear worse
violin music than we had on that pro-
gram? Her address—oh, yes—G72 Bou-
levard. Dear child, however did you
train your lashes to curl lil:e that?”
An hour later Roland Baxter, look-
ing into the wonderful violet eyes be-
neath those same curling lashes, im-
mediately decided that eyes, lashes
and the owner thereof had dropped
straight from heaven.
The Baxter maid was standing in
the private hallway of the Baxter
apartment explaining to Polly Hess
that Mrs. Baxter was not yet up.
Would Miss Hess call later in the
day? Mrs. Baxter expected to be home
all afternoon.
And at this instant the eldest scion
of the house of Baxter added earnest-
Iy: “You'll surely find her here about 4.
Do come back, She would be sorry
to miss you.”
Then by exerting all his will power
he managed to stand perfectly still
and watch the violet eyed angel take
her departure.
Polly Hess walked through the
sharp November air, feeling oddly be-
wildered.
“It must have been the place, and
her name is Baxter, but I'm afraid
her prices are way beyond me. She
must be dreadfully smart, and 1 sup-
pose she has to go out late to thea-
ters and things to see the styles, but
she ought to be up by 10 o'clock.
Maybe she has a good forewoman.
Anyhow, I am coming back. Dear
me, it must be lovely to be able to
buy frocks without figuring on the
rent the dressmaker makes you help
to pay.”
At 3:50 Roland Baxter strolled into
his mother’s drawing room. The tea
things were arranged on a convenient
table, but the afternoon lowered, and
guests would probably be few. Mrs.
Baxter closed her magazine.
“Anything wrong at the office, Ro-
land?” she inquired.
“No. Just thought I'd knock off.
It's a hideous afternoon downtown,
and pretty women around a tea table
can make you forget the worst weath-
er.”
His astute mother was for once non-
plused. Roland a willing sacrifice on
the altar of her afternoon tea table!
And then the maid announced Miss
Hess.
“Oh, dear!” mourned Mrs. Baxter as
she laid down her magazine. “I won-
der what charity she represents.”
Polly Hess paused, bewildered, In
the doorway. Then, with a laugh
tinged with dismay and just a little
hysteria, she cried:
“Oh, now I know there is some-
thing wrong. Please, please forgive
me. I've made such a dreadful mis-
take.”
Mrs. Baxter stood midway between
her chair and her flushed guest.
“Perhaps if you would explain”—
“Yes, do let me explain. I was
looking for a dressmaker, and Mrs.
Graves"—
“Mrs. Graves! Do not say another
word. I can say it for you. Mrs.
Graves admired a new frock 1 was
showing her yesterday. She asked me
for the address of my dressmaker.
You asked her abeut a dressmaker,
caught the rumble of masculine laugh-
ter and realized that Roland had risen

They had mutual friends in Denver,
and Polly's great-grandfather and Mrs,
Baxter's great-uncle had fought in the
same regiment during the war of 1812,
So it happened that Roland Baxter
was just wondering whether the am-
brosia of the gods and strawberry
jam sandwiches were Interchangeable
terms when somewhere far off a soft
chime struck five times,
With the exquisite flush which was
one of her best points Polly sprang to
her feet.
“You've been so perfectly charming,
Mrs. Baxter, that I've lost all track of
time, and now it must be quite dark.”
Mrs. Baxter was bending her head
in listening attitude.
“Roland, that sounds like sleet. It
must be storming.”
Young Baxter hastened to the win-
dow and uttered an exclamation of
dismay.
“The worst ever, You can't think
of going out in it, Miss Hess.”
“Oh, but I must! Please telephone
for a cab. Mother will be so anxious.”
Baxter rang up the nearest cab sta-
tion. .
“What's that? You wouldn't send a
horse out in this storm? Are you run-
ning an animal society or a transpor-
tation line?”
Brief silence, then a prolonged whis-
tle, and the receiver was hung up
with decision.
“No venturing out for you, Miss
Hess,” he remarked, with unconcealed
satisfaction. “It's a blizzard, the sort
we usually get in February, and it's
been tying up the town while we've
been drinking tea.”
“Oh, but I must. Mother will worry.
Whatever shall I do?
Polly's cheeks were pale now, and
her dimples had faded.
“Do, my dear? Why, we will tele.
phone your mother before the wires
are down,” interrupted Mrs. Baxter.
“I trust your grocer and butcher beat
the blizzard, and if you will be my
gnest until the storm is over”—
Impulsive Polly sprang forward and
clasped the hand of her hostess.
“You are =o splendid. I wish I could
say what 1 feel”— And then, catching
the light of a pair of hazel eyes watch:
ing her above the telephone book, she
sald “Ch!” very suddenly and turned
her face the other way.
#® * @ * ® “ *
It was 11. The couple from the floo:
below who had come up for a game of
whist had taken their departure. Mrs.
Baxter was making the rounds of her
apartment to be sure that all was fast
against the storm, which still raged
furiously. Polly and Roland stood in
the round bay window looking down
the storm blocked boulevard.
“What a cruel thing a big storm fis!"
said Polly.
“Not this storm. I think it is the
finest old blizzard that ever blizzed.”
He tried hard to look into her eyes.
“If I could just tell you what this
blizzard means to me"—
He had been drawing her toward
him with his glance, but now she drew
back and summoned all her dimples.
“Please, please, not now, not here.
It is your house, you see, and I'd have
to be polite.”
“Don’t you want to be polite?’ urged
Roland Baxter significantly.
“I don't know. Oh, you are not play
ing fair. It's so soon"—
“Nothing of the sort.” interrupted
Roland recklessly. “It happened at 1C
o'clock this morning. I remember the
chimes ringing just as I looked intc
your eyes for the first time.”
And again Polly Hess said “Oh!”
which, oddly enough, seemed to satisfy
her companion, for he dropped the
heavy curtains, blotting out all sight
of the raging clements, and drew her
back into the circle of crimson shaded
lamplight.
Cannibal Cows.
“Now, children,” said the pretty
teacher, “I want you all to write 2
composition on the cow. You know
what a cow Is. You know that a cow
gives us all the milk we drink. Now,
write me something original about the
cow as you know her, nothing com:
monplace.” It would take several pages
to print the resuits, but there is room
for at least one composition by a gir:
of seven:
“A cow is a quadruped having fom
legs and four feet. She gives milk and
sometimes has horns, but not always.
The cow's baby is called a calf and
scmetimes bossy. When a cow talks
she lows. A cow with horns can hook,
nibal if you let her alone, for she wili
eat her own kind.”
The horrified teacher exclaimed: “Sal
lie May, where on earth did you get the
idea, the ridiculous idea, that a cow
carnivorous and a cannibal? Yo~
t to say that a cow is herbivorous
graminivorous.”
“No, teacher, I read it in the Holy

What Generosity Means.
“Many people get the credit of being
generous who never felt 2 single gen
erous impulse in their lives,” says a
close student of human nature.
“Their generosity, so called, has con
sisted simply in formal, cold, grudging
almsgiving, carried out at the call of
duty and unaccompanied by any spon
taneous burst of feeling or-sympathy.
“The highest generosity is full of
strong, unhesituting self effacement anc
always inspires, except in debased na:
tures, feelings of gratitude and affec
tion. Almsgiving Is one of the least
of its attributes. It more often takes
the form of helpfulness, sympathy and
understanding. It gives forth compas
sfon and encouragement of a kind
which is far beyond money value.
“The secret of generosity Is unselfish
ness, and the way to acquire it Is tc
cultivate un'versal love and sympathy.”

How the Culprit Was Detected.
Of a certain Harrow master whom
Mr. Tollemache in his reminiscences
refers to as Mr. YX, the following story
is told. Dr. Vaughan was master of
Harrow at the time:
“Mr. Y.~I am sorry, Dr. Vaughan,
to have to report to you two of your
monitors for drinking. Dr. V.—This is
a very serious charge. When and
where did it happen? Mr. Y.—This
afternoon in a public house In Pinner
Dr. V.—~Did you catch them flagran:c
delicto? Mr. Y.—No, Dr. Vaughan, I
was in my study. Dr. V.—But surely
you cannot possibly have seen from
your study to Pinner? Mr. Y.—I have
a strong telescope, Dr. Vaughan. Dr.
V.—But how can you tell that it was
not water they were drinking? Mr. Y.
~It was gin and water. I noticed a
sediment of sugar at the bottom of
thelr glasses.
