aim feel how utterly helpless man is in
joiilliet Willi the irresistible.
"l!y Jove " he was saying, "this sort
Sf thing is sinii!y intolerable!"
"What sort of thing?" she inquired,
with n-.linii-.ihle poise.
"Why, I have just lind to pay n mes
Fenurr 40 cents to deliver a note tip
town for me, uml in? was gone less thim
half an hour. It would be cheaper to
have hived i e::b und horse and driver,
Mid still cheaper to liavn sent it by
mail under a s rcial delivery stamp."
"What was the note?" she asked.
Womanlike, before sho though.
"A response to an invitation to din
ner. "
"Forty cents is cheap for ti good din
ner," she smiled.
"Eut 1 couldn't fin," ho wailed. "It
was n declination, and tho 40 cents on
top of that. Itcally, though, this mes
n nger service is n rank imposition iwid
theuld not he tolerated. Twenty-live
cents an hour is ample, with short dis
tances at If) or 15 cents. Tho conven
ience is euily worth that, but moro
than that is plain extortion uud the
greed of monopolies."
"Yon have my sympathy. You ure
tho moro entitled to it because you
don't seem to know uuy better. Now,
why aren't you us bright ns a man I
know, who hadn't nny moro money
than you huvc? When ho has a note or
n book to send to a girl, he doesn't
wasto 40 cents on a grinding monopoly
oh, that's what it is, " she laughed,
ns ho noted his look of surprise, "we
havu u cull in cur l i -use, uud I am com
pelled to use it : tn:.i t but he does

the flowers, und there you uro. See?
Only 10 cents out, and think how much
in for girls do lovo flowers, even 60
cents' worth."
The young man begun gasping fur
air.
"Or," sho went right on, "if it is
the season when (lowers are more ex
pensive than messenger service, just
substitute cnudy for flowers. You can
get something perfectly lovely for 60
cents, uud to udd a book or pleasant
uoto to it makes it well worth the girl's
kindest thought und your 20 cents ex
tra. Now, is tho plan clear to your stu
pid brain?"
Whether it wan or not tho young
woman that very afternoon received a
delightful note of thanks for valuable
infm nuition, accompanied by a GO cent
bunch of violets from a well known
florist. Washington Star.
PrecloiM Mnlt,
Almost any dish which had to recom
mend it rarity, costliness, indigestibil
ity, and, to our way of thinking, Hasti
ness, was sure to tako with the Roman
epicure. And if he wero unable to make
it costly any other way he would add
powdered precious stones or gold dust
Nero dined on one occasion from a
peacock which was sprinkled with dia
mond dust, and specimens of that bird
dressed with gold or with crushed pearls
wero by no means a rarity at the tri
clinia of tho moneyed Rom an s. A dish
of pairots' tongues was a great delica
cy. But a dish of parrots' tongues which
had been capable, when in their proper
place, of framing words, wus of almost
incalculable value, which increased in
a direct ratio with tho vocabularies of
tho defunct parrots.
Another bird for which the Roman
epicure was in the habit of paying fab
ulous prices wus the pheuccoptrix,
which is believed to have been the ptar
miguu. It had its homo in tho most
northerly parts of Scotland and Norway,
and as this made it hard to get at the
Romans appreciated it all tho more and
put it in the sume rank with ostriches,
buzzards and peacocks. Tho tongues of
these birds were specially prepared, to
gether with tho brains, nud took the
place which a hors d'eeuvre would now
lake. New York Post.
Her Point of View.
They were discussing the construction
of a new gowu.
"From a hygienic point of view and
merely as a mutter of health," suggest
ed the a dressmaker, "I think it should
be made"
The haughty beauty stopped her by a
gesture.
"Hygieuio point of view!" she ex-'
claimed. "Matter of health 1 Wlmt lias
that to do with it? When I want houlth,
I will go to a doctor. When I want
style, I come to you. We will now elim
inate ull absurdities and discuss this
purely from a common sense standpoint.
