"Ubat do you mean?' asked her
bosom friend.
"Well," hesltrted Nannette. "of
rour.-e tlit as neat aa can bo. but
fcer cloinec look as IC they were made
for Mrs. Methueelah."
"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?"
"lie does," acknowledged Nannette.
And eo do I at a distance. But be-
c.iute El.a Is dad's favorite sister why
must I follow her c'.d fogy notionsT"
'Why, shi! was perfecUy scandal-
teed ;.t the idea of my entertaining
Chanes ail the evening without the
a.s;-Utaiice of the other members of
the family! 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.

THE HEART BOWED DOWN
Only One Thing Could Save the Sym
pathetic Magnate.
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."

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

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.

Primitive PMIosophy.
Animism is the m.me of a theory
originally propounded by Stabl, about
1707. It asserts that the soul la the
