manifold things which a trust company

MR. AND MRS. LEE BLACKBURN
CUPID'S ARROW FOILS
GIRLS' "A. N. D." PINS
As a Result Miss Mary K.
Egan Is Now Mrs. Lee
s
Blackburn.
The girlies nf the A. X. D. iioio
grudtlnplu congratulate
(The while a deep and soggy gloom
their hearts and minds doth
saturate),
That rrstichllc member ol their clan
who met a man and man led him,
H7ieii, had she loved the A. X, D., she'd
certainly have parried him.
Alas, the lassie was entrapped by
Cupid, Hymen and the man.
She Is no more a fellow of the lassies
who have banned the man.
"She's a lovely girl!" "She's a cat!"
"She's tho last ono of us I would have
suspected!"
Above tho din of 11 girls, all talklns
at once, today, these definite sentiments
dominated. It wns n meeting of tho sur
ilvlng membeis of tho "A. N. D." circle.
Thero were orlglnnlly 13, who vowed to
ench other not to wed, but, of course, at
that lime could not foresee that ono of
them was to be struck by an automobile.
If thcy could, they would have inserted
a by-law piohlbltlng members from going
nnywhcie near the haunts of autos.
But thcy didn't, nnd ho when Miss Mary
K. Kgan was knocked down by Leo Blnct
burn's car on Atlantic avenue, Atlantic
City, last June, and was rushed to the
hospital by Mr. Blackburn, nnd opened
her black-fringed cea to see Mr. Black
burn's anxious face bending over her
hospital cot, and opened the door later
nt her homo to see Mr. Blackburn on
the threshold, why, of course, tho In
human edict of tho "A. N. D." was for
gotten. Those threo letters meant "Ao
solutely Nothing Doing" when It enmo to
receiving proposals of manloge.
"A-N-D and! Why, the very Initials
spell tiouble," commented Mrs. Black
burn (the former Miss Mary ISgan), today,
seated In her rolling chair on the board
anllc. n counle of blocks from the very
place where Blackburn's nuto providen
tially had struck tho young woman that
day last summer. "How could they ex
pect all to keep single when each one was
wearing thoso letters on n gold pin on her
shirtwaist?"
"Of course, I hope she'll be happy,
but "
Thus the faithful Eleven were chorus
ing nt about this time. Thcy were not
rolling along tho sunny boardwalk. Thoy
were grimly congratulating tho former
Miss Egnn In colorless letters, and ex
pelling her from tho "A. N. D." clrclo
with Just a shade of vindictive Joy.
Miss Egan lived at 15S Noith G2d street,
r. Blackburn, nn automobllo salesman,
lives nt 2010 North Marvlne street. They
wcro married last night nnd ninny mem
beis of tho "circle" attended n suppe?
nt the Adelphlu. Miss Anna Dovereaux,
of 633 Thayer street, n member of tho
circle, was, bridesmaid nnd tho best mail
was James B. Bradley.
According to Miss Mnry Musky, of 2:3"
Emerald street, all the members, except
Mrs. Blackburn, havo refused all their
many proposals of marriago.

A Scries of
Eye Talks
No. 51
By Joseph C. Ferguson, Jr.
VE trouble isn't
necessarily just
eye trouble and
nothing more.
Often it is
merely an indication of
serious ailments of an
apparently foreign na
ture. Kidney trouble,
for instance, affects the
eyes.
So you see how Important
It Is that you consult an
oculist, a physician, whose
training and knowledge en
able him to And tho cqujo
of your trouble.
Unless glasses will correct
your defective vision, or help
to do so, your oculist will not
order them for you.
But If glasses are found
necessary, then It is decid
edly to your advantage to
take the prescription to an
Optician whose skill and
reputation assure you that
your physician's Instructions
will be carried out Intelli
gently and accurately.

Madam,
Don't Buy
Your Boy
an Old Man's
Suit of Clothes
You don't have to!
This Mother brought us
her son on Monday? a
strapping young fellow
still in the knee-bloomers
of boyhood.
She told our salesman
that she had gone the
rounds last week seeking
him a Suit that would re
tain the truth of his four
teen or fifteen years, while
giving him long trousers.
"And it just sickened
me," she said, "to see the
dowdy-looking things they
tried to sell me"
We gave the boy a
"Junior Special" Suit that
made a young man of him,
yet kept the atmosphere of
boyhood which his Mother
was loath to lose. . It was
