MAIDEN MEDITATIONS.
Some girls are so fond of being
waited on that they will stand by a
revolving door until some man conies
and gives it the necessary impetus. !
When a girl with wmtfu! blue eyes I
tells a man she is af;aid of him he'd!
better be afraid for himself.
When an Idle rumo.* gains currency
make sure that It was not idle in tar
rying by the wf.vside
The man who takes a woman's ad
vice is either a fool who won't profit
by it or a strong man who does not
need it.
(ih. Love may laugh nt locksmiths—
So goes the ancient rumor—
But it takes itself too seriously
To have a sense of humor.
Some Women —Can hit what they!
aim at when it comes to throwing'
bouquets at themselves.
Some Women—Find that the more
they have the more they want. Sol
they borrow a little trouble!
Some Women —Call any man a I
"sceptic" or "cynic" if he fails to
share the good opinion they have of!
themselves.
Some Women—Feel that they don't
know how to take a man. even before
he offers himself.

101 N.Y.PICKPOCKETS
TURN HONEST MEN
Unable to Earn Living by Crime
They Seek and Find
Work
• By Associated Press
New York, Dec. 4. —More than 100
pickpockets, unable to make a living
by following their vocation, have
turned temporarily honest within tlie
past two months and have sought
work, according to records made pub
lic to-day bv the Department of Cor
rection.
"Old-time pickpockets tell us," said
Deputy Commissioner Lewis, "that by
rilling fifty or sixty pockets a day
they can make only sls or so a week.
They used to be able to retire for a
month after picking hialf a dozen
pickets. Folks haven't been carrying
I money in their clothes recently.
"Some of the pickpockets have
turned gunmen. This may account
in part for the so-called crime wave.
If the situation continues all the pick
pockets in the city probably will go
out of business."
Wishes Woe to Her
"No matter what his actions may
be, my feelings toward Dr. Blake re
main absolutely unchanged. As for
his bride, the former Mrs. Clarence
Mackay, I can only wish her all the
unhappiness which is her just due."
The foregoing statement was made by
Mrs. Catherine K. Blake, who divorced
Dr. Joseph Blake, the noted surgeon,
on last Friday. Mrs. Blake collapsed
when she heard that her former hus
band had on Saturday married Mrs. ,
Clarence Mackay in Paris.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have known a certain young la v

in love with this girl and have every
desire in the world to make her my
wife. However, I could hardly sup
port her In the way she is accustomed.
I am afraid if I do not soon propose
she will be lost to me.
Will you please advise me as to
what I should do. LEO M.
If you feel that you could support a
[wife within the next year or two you
might state your case to the girl.
But don't let yourown love make you
so seltish as to ask her to wait
though long years for you "to make
good."

heavier, is seen in many attractve costumes at afternoon functions. Black

in tlie I'nited States, with its basque effect and collar and cuffs of white or
gandy, is well adapted for this material.. The lower skirt is of accordion
pleated pussy willow taffeta, which combines beautifully with the velvet.

A CHRISTMAS VISION.
By John Kendrick Bangs.
In the Christmas (Pecember) Scribner
On Christmas Eve 'mid all the joy
ous glee
That in my plenteousness surrounded
me,
I happened by some chance to turn
mine eye
Out through a window-wreath that
hung near by.
And as I glanced through it into the
night
I seemed to see, lit by some holy
light,
A childish face with wistful," smiling
lips
That thrilled me to my very finger
tips.
Two eager hands stretched forth call
ed. as In stress.
To me to carry help to Helplessness,
And in the sad eyes of that child I
saw
In all its loveliness the Christmas
Law—
Not a command, no everlasting must
Upon Reluctance for its teaching
thrust,
But just a pleading hint to him who
runs
That all who suffer are God's Little
Ones!
Ane then the picture in the wreath
was gone.
And in its place the Eastern Star
'jeams shone—
The same that nineteen centuries ago
Led on the Wisemen with their
heavenly glow;
And e'en as they I wandered through
the drifts
And into lowly places carried gifts
To cheer, and give release, and pay
my due
Unto my Lord thro' them that suffer
rue.
AN EVENING THOUGHT
If a man will not know his sins,
his sins will know him; the eyes
which presumption shuts, com
monly despair opens.—Thomas
Adams.
