AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEDICAL STUDENT. INCE Felix’s mauvais pas at Felicia’s carpet-dance Felicia had shown a frivolous spirit about their engagement. In a less well-bred. girl one might have called it indis- criminate flirtation, and with any one but Felix. One day about a forinight after New- year’s the latter discovered that she purposed spending the next Saturday afternoon without him, despite the age- honored custom of lovers to lunch and matinge on that day together. To add to his enjoyment of the situation, he drew from her that she was to pass the afternoon with another man. “That's rather hard on a fellow, sweetheart,” he ob- jected. “Please don’t go with him. I don't like it at all, you know.” Felicia’s under-lip signi- fied that even the most en- gaged young women got an occasional afternoon off. Then Felix dropped pleadin; “Now, look here, Felici A es NOT ALWAYS THE DOG OF BAD REPUTE. Westerner —"* Thet thar man has killed mor’n fifty people, he has. TenveRrroot—" Gracious! what terrible fellows these western desperadoes are.” Westerner —"* He ain't no westerner, pard. He's a Brooklyn motorman, out here for his health.” ind went extensively into bribery. Felicia interjected an entirely irrelevant and flippant comment that, since a mirror was directly in her present range of vision, she was bet- ter employed. “Laying aside the question of your duty toward me—now don’t pucker up your lips that way or I shall have to—just one more, darling— well, as [was saying; you know you don’t care anything about going around with that fellow, and you have heard Calvé anyway. would have a far better time of it with me. You T'll order bon-bons and violets galore and we'll have 1 delightful afternoon together.’ “What shall we do?” asked Felicia in a business-like tone which showed she appreciated to the full the financial aspect of the situation. “What have you to offer me as en tertainment if I give up the opera and a most entertaining young man?" “ Myself,” responded her lover, promptly, staving off comment by adding hastily, “and — er —er— well "—a brilliant idea struck him—“and besides that, I'ltell you what,” he continued cheerfull about, up at 199 JUDGMENTS. W HO loves suffers. A word in time saves nine. An ill or a sore that dies young leaves no scar. Duns and sympathizers oftenest find shut doors. An old woman or a young man for true love. Blessed are they who can let well enough alone. In a married Iife of even average happiness one or the other must dominate. is much that id benevolence, which is only sweet stomach. The battle of life is half won for him who has struck a bargain with necessity. An outburst of rage, no matter how violent, is an evi- dence of weakness, physical or mental. Iv is as difficult to be in- terested without being med- dlesome as it is to be kindly without being patronizing. MADELINE ORV. THOUGHT HE WAS AN OSTRICIL.
