"Old maids are a nuisance and old

Forest Lske were busy nt work at
their benches preparing lettuce slips

cipline and studying school gcrden'ng

"reveille" they arose each morning
and worked, studied and recreated at
stated periods. Every night when
the Bad echoes of "taps" reverberated i
om the surrounding hilltops, all
ghs we e out, the camp was still.
and Morpt "is reigned supreme.
"Oh, the t iium attached to spinster-
hood," laughingly interposed Miss
Gordon, one of the summer school In
structors and matrons of the dormi
tory, suddenly appearing in the door
way. "What horrible creatures old
maids are. Why does not Oler ad

form to these useless creatures and 1
consign them to sweet oblivion? Olrls,

sad .stffte of single blessedness; but
If Fate should unkindly relegate you
to sip your cup of tea In a lonely cor-
or when you r.e old and gray, reject
the Odious title of 'old maid' and adopt
the modern term of 'bachelor girl.' "
The girls stood a&haBt at this unex
pected speech from their beloved
Mrhcr. She was a woman In middle
re. Intellectual, refined and sympa-
letle, the idol of nor girls because
of her scholarly attainments and her
terling qualities. In youth she had
cen fair as a goddess. Her Grecian
wd, crowned with a glory of silver
srny hair waved over a smooth, broad
forehead; grayish blue eyes, patrician
oso and firm mouth bespoke honors-
ancestry and gentle breeding.
The years had dealt kindly with her;
afire had not robbed her of many of
her youthful charms, for she proved a
kind mother to her ardent devotees.
Marie felt that she must redeem
eiself in her favorite's estimation,

creation assemble."
"Undoubtedly It Is," said Miss Gor-
Inn, "although I say so tentatively, as
have not had the opportunities af-
orded me to settle that question be
yond the shadow of a doubt. But.
looting aside, girls, I have come to
auk you to honor me with your pres
ence at a farewell chafing dish and
marshniallow party to-morrow even-
sg at the 'Bungalow.' The board of
administration has allowed us the use
of the building until the first call of
taps.' Will you come, my friends?"
Of course we will," chimed all the
girls, surrounding their "summer
mother, dancing and singing a song
composed in her honor by one of
heir number.
The next evening the "Bungalow"
resented a scene from fairyland. A
og Ore was burning In the open fire
place, lighted Japanese lanterns
nwung galy to and fro.and the girls In
their airy muslin gowns gave the final
touch of fresh, vivacious, bubbling,
mirthful life. Miss Gordon presided
at the chafing dlBh, assisted by her
dnnclng butterflies. Marshmallows
galore were toasted on batplns before
the open fire. Finally, the repast of
fr.dge, sandwiches and fancy cakes
vns spread upon the floor, and all
eat In a circle around the fireplace.
A story, a story from Miss Gor-
d3n," shouted athletic Alice Burs-
hardt when Interest in eating began
j wane. Miss Gordon bowed gracl
'i?!y, saying, "I will tell you a true
'tiry of 'A Girl That I Have Known.
"Some years ago In New York 1
new a young woman of 19 who was
preparing to be a teacher. She was
of an Intense nature, strong In her
rites and dislikes. The mediocre nev-
t ratlsfled ber; she was seeking the
ideal In life. Her friends said she
would never marry because the para
gon she sought did not exist In hu
n form. Yet they were wrong in
tle!r conclusion.
When her training was over she
elected to work In the East Bide, In
that congested district where the
stunted flowers In the Lord's garden
do not enjoy their rightful heritage of
fresh air, sunshine and cleanliness.
Here she met a young physician, an
other enthusiast, aiming to be a lead
er In his profession. His specialty
waa the study of the 'Great White
Plague,' Its csuse. treatment and era'
dicatlon. These Iwo Idealists became
engaged, but their hopes of marriage
were never realised, aa he died a vic
tim of typhoid. She still labors in
her chosen sphere, teaching the beau
ties of God's creation to the children
of the Ghetto. Her labor mar not
bear fruit In this generation, but it
cannot fail to reap results In the
next."
Just then Miss Gordon arose to
sound the first call of "taps."- The
glrla remained motionless, awed by
the subdued voice of the narrator and
the dull flashes of light reflected on
the rafters from the dying embers.
"It Is the story of her own life,
whispered Alice to the wondering
group.
"A toast, a toast to Miss Gordon,'
cried the irrepressible Mirle Court
lelgh. "All stand ai d lift your glasses
blgu in her ht.Tior." As each girl was
about to drtilu the cup of sparkllcg

never supplied it, however, a.id as I

"Would you mind, sir, not calling me

"Not at all," I replied, as blandly bs

"It is Hezeklan, sir, but most peo

"For short, I presume?"
"No, sir," he replied. "I bollevc
there's a god by that name, sir, who

The evening was rather a nlnv
one. and In consequence the dining
room was comparaUvely empty. The
waiter, therefore, had little to do but

I'm of a very sentimental nature, sir.
Yes," I replied, with as straight a
face as-I could muster, "It seems as
thought I have heard of Cupid." And
from the table I rccei ved a remonstra

I've figured In many a matrimon

sir?"
"I should be glad to," t replied, and
the waiter, warmed to his subject hy
our recepUve atUtude, went on: "You
see those little numbered dining
rooms on the balcony above? Well,
one night when I waa working up
there. In comes an unhnppy-lookms
couple that quite evidently wants to

funny things at times, but those two
couples was amazing. , They squab

understand, neither knowing of the
other's presence, and from soup to
nuts, sir, not .one of them really ate
enough to fill a dicky bird.
" 'You had no business to take me
up so quick,' says the girl In 25; 'sun
pose I did ask you to take me out to
dinner, that's no reason why you
should bave done so.'
'Now, see here,' says the man.
this Is no picnic for me, either. You're
a charming girl, and all that,' he says.
"but I can Imagine at least as pleasant
a companion as you are proving to
be,' he says. 'Confound the little

tone, 'God bless her,' be adds quickly.

some other girl. .
'And that odious Jack, says the
girl. 'If he hadn't been so stupid, I'd
now be with him Instead of you.' Auc
so it went on, each mad that they
wasn't with someone else. And tn
the next room It was Just as bad.
They weren't so outspoken, but I
could see that a more miserable cou

take me long to put two and two to

with the girls. They hsd formally

much that I knew all their names, so
finally I hit on a scheme that 1
thought might clear the atmosphere.
'I goes Into 25 .and, begging his
pardon, asked If this wasn't Mr. At

wanted at the telephone In the man

up there with the numbers on? Well.
it waa an easy matter for me to do
this, and when the men got back each
goes into the other man's place. I
was taking some chances, but it cer
tainly worked fine.
"Of course it bsd to come out right
away what I bad done, and such hap

'Cupid.' There's one thing about It,
though, that I never could quite make

"And what was that?" asked my
wife and 1 In unlton. '
"Well, you see," said the waiter,
"Mr. Brown's check was for $5 and
Mr. Atkins' was for $7. Now, eac'i
man paid the other man's check trith
a $10 bill, and both or them told me
to keep the change. Which one do y v.
