"If it's only her clothes you needn't worry." remarked the bosom friend. "You don't have tr wear 'era." "It's not only her clotbes!" shrieked Nannette. "It's her notions! They arc sinipi appalling!" 'For i. -tance?" suggested the bo.om frit. ;l. taking a look at her buck hnir In the mirror with the help of a hand glass. "For one thing, she objects to my name," explained Nannette Indignant ly. "The very first thing she did aftrr taking a comprehensive view of the family was to stare at me iv.rrmgh her spectacles steel rim med ones at that and ask: 'It this one Nancy, my Godchild T' "Did, who Is as proud as he can be of his enormous family, looked a lit Lie sheepish at ft at. " 'Y-y-yes.' he stuttered. 'We had her chribtened Nancy, of course, but she has takeu a fancy to be called er Ncnnetu.' "'llun-.ph:' said Aunt Nancy." "Haven't I always heard you speak of jour Aunt Nancy as a paragon V deu.anuea the hosom friend. "Haven't you told me time and time again that jour father looks upon her as the sp.it of tiie earth?"

The Idea! "Of course when the bell rang at the acustoji-ed hour that horrid Tom bad to bellow out, 'It's Nan's Tues day night beau. Aunt Nancy. Parlor's cte-ewMtd for the evening.' "You si oj!d hbve seen her stare. " 'Am I to understand, Maria,' she a-:kf.d, fixing poor mother with her eye, 'that this child has visitors from wLose Company her parents and her brothers and sisters are barred? " 'Times have changed. Nancy,' oiid dad. looking silly." "And Aunt Nancy," prompted the dosopi friend. " 'In my time,' said Aunt Nancy, tt xa& our greatest pleasure to have our parents and all the family enter Into ttic enoyjmenta and help in the ea tcrtainmcnt of our friends. Hospital ity meant something then, and 1 be lieve our guests enjoyed themselves. It teems to me anything but dignified for parents to be excluded or for any room in their house to be shut away from them.' " "Well, I declare!" said the bosom friend. ' "Now do you wonder that I was frightened lit the Idea ot Charles meting ber?" asked Nannette. "But I haven't told you the worst," with gloomy emphasis. "I slipped away while she was holding forth, hoping tharhe would forget all about it. But I couldn't shake off my forebod ings and the conversation flagged." "Nothing unusual In that, is there?" wickedly interposed the bosom friend. "Charles actually began to look bored." continued Nannette. "and then we both had such a shock! If you will believe me, who should coma marching Into the room but " "Aunt Naucy!" breathlessly inter rupted the boiom friend. "Aunt Naucy," repeated Nannette. "Wasnt" it awful? I bad been so afraid of something of the kind.- She planted herself in the only straight. backed chair In the room and sluing bo'.t upright gave me my orders: " 'Now, Nancy, Introduce to ma your friend.' "Charles had been lounging in his chair, and I assure you, Isabel, that the way abe looked him over through ber spectacles made him straighten up in short order. "I felt as if 1 should sink through th3 floor when she came In wearing her plain blac dress and white col lar and cubs, her hair parted la the middle and plastered down on each side, looking for all the world as If It had jcen varnished, she had brush- id it so smooth. You know how ityiish and exclusive Charles's people are? "Well, before I knew it, they were talking together in the most animat ed manner. I don t know when I have seen Charles so Interested. It waa Etrange talk to me, too; for, as dad cays, I have neglected to cultivate my mind. "They talked about literature, art. politics and even science, and I had to sit there like a dummy and listen to them. Even while he was holding my band to say good night he was locking at and talking to Aunt Nancy. "Now, what do you think of that?' "I think you're lucky that your Aunt Nancy Is too old for Charles to marry." card the bosom friend. Addition for a Lady.

Of two boys born In a country town in Iowa, one went to Chicago end be came very rich and the other stayed at home, and when he was sixty was very poor. The stay-at-ho.r e hnd heard of the success of his boyhood friend and he went up to Chicago to see him one day, thinking to obtain a loan to tide him over the winter. He went to the rich one's offlce, found htm installed In a magnificent suite and waa held up by an office-boy In livery. "Just tell my old friend that Bill, the friend of his boyhood days, is out side and wants to talk over old times with him." Presently the visitor wss admitted. Howdy. BUI." 'said the millionaire, "I am glad to see you." Tbey talked for a time and then the visitor remarked: "I hear yon are worth millions." Yes, I'm pretty rich; and how has the world treated you?" Oh, I've bad a terrible time. I bad a business, but I lost that a while ago. You see. my wife's father died, and her mother, and then we lost oitr daughter. Right on the heels of that my mother died and, soon after, my father. It was tough." The millionaire too' out a handker chief and wiped his eyea. "It certain ly waa," be commented. Yes," continued the visitor, "and that wasn't the worst of It. Early tbe next spring my ' boy, ' on wnom I hud et so many hopes, he died, too; ana then, with all that expense, I lost my business paying doctors' bills. Then, to close It all up. It wasn't six months before my faithful wife died, and I was left all alone." The millionaire was sobbing by this time. He leaned over and touched a button on his desk, and a big porter came in. Jim," said the millionaire, "throw this man out He's breaking my heart." EASILY SETTLED. Mrs. Justwed The new cook has burned the bacon, dear; she Is so young and Inexperienced.

"Here, you," said the conductor an grily, "you rang up a fare. Do that again and I'll put you off." The small man standing In the mid dle of the crowded car promptly rang np another fare.. Thereupon the con ductor projected , him through the crowd and to the edge of the plat form. Thanks," said the little man. "I did not see any other way to get out Here's your dime." . TALE OF A TELEPHONE BOOTH. Day Waa Hot and the Genial Citizen Was Hotter. At twenty minutes to nine the gen ial citlten, resplendent In fresh linen, sailed Into the telephone booth. It was a hot day. At fifteen minutes to nine the some what teas genial citizen, in somewhat less fresh linen, finally managed to attract tbe attention of the sweet voiced hello girl. It waa yon will re call a hot day. At ten minutes to nine a grouchy citizen in white linen got his party on the wire. It was hot At five minutes to nine the wreck In question discovered that he bad aa entire stranger on the line. The day grew warmer. At nine o'clock the hello girl In formed the driveling wreck that be must not use the telephone aa a play thing. At a little after nine there issued from the booth a dilapidated remnant. who drew sora bis pocket a dollar bill, and, Bret squeezing from it the moisture it hsd collected, laid it on the druggist's counter. "What's this?" Inquired the haugh ty drug clerk. "One Turkish bath one dollar." said tbe wreck. "I pay for what I get." Ob, the Joys of modern civllliation' Horrible Inflictions.

DOCTOR MADE A NEW THUMB. Whittled It from Patient's Leg Bom and Covered It with 8Vln. Dr. K. Koesake has described In a German medical publication some re markable results In plastic surgery. "In one of his cases, which, as fnr SB r Is aware. Is unique In p irplt-nl literature." snys the Intel national Journal of Surgery, "he replaced a thumb which bad been enttte'.y lost In an accident, by a section of the tlh'a (leg bone) with Its attnrhed periosteum and by skin taken from the chest. The transplanted parts united without undergoing subsequent contraction and degeneration. "The case is of special Interest be caune hitherto transplanted bore has aiwaya been Interposed between healthy sections of bone, while In this Instance the piece nt tibia was dlieit ly Implanted Into a funnel-shaped ex cavation In the head ot the first me tacarpal. "An excellent substitute for a nor mal thumb.

There has also beer. ? gradual establishment of tbe sense o' touch. Later, the author Intends to transplant the nail, with matrix and surrounding soft parts, from one cf tbe toes to the new member. The Art of Life. It was remarked In a recent article upon woman's dress in our column that when a Frenchwoman plans s costume she plana It as a whole, ani that every part has to bear Its prore: relation to the whole; whereas ur- Englishwoman at the dressmaker'.' 't apt to aay: "That will do," ani tc choose each particular Item of hoi dress Just because she takes a 'inry to It and without considering Ita rela tion to other items. In fact, the Frenchwoman puts more funds-rental bralnwork into her choice. She nlnn" ihd foresees, and considers nit on'y the fashion but ber own peculiarities with the result that her dress ai3 che.racter and seems all of a pl?-e. The French have this superiority In many things besides dress. They have It, Indeed, In nearly all the mln or arts of life, which they take fnr more seriously than we do. Perlin; that Is the reason why we are apt lo think of them as a frivolous cation. London Times. His Proper Field. A colored man was broi'.pht before a police Judge charged with sU a!:r.g chickens.

It asserts that the soul la the vital principle and only cause of life. and that the functions ot plant em! animal life depend upon this princi ple of vitality, and not mere mechanl cal and chemical action.
