Birdie; what la it all 190S, Tut, tut, about? Big George Sampson sat down on the lounge where he had found his wee bit of a wife crying in the sofa pillows and gently lifted her to htin. Isnt the house party a success? he asked, gently, "or has the cook gone wrong again? obWill Cummings Is a stinate brute, and I hate him, remarked the young wife, lrrevalontly, And as for Carrie Hepburn, I will never speuk to her after this party Is over. And she stamped her pretty foot spitefully on the rug anil jabbed the teiws from her eyes viciously. Will Cummings Carrie Hepburn, repeated Sampson. Why what ? and Ills voice died away In how hopeless bewilderment. They are perfectly hateful," replied his wife, Dont you see, you great goose. I got up tills party ami went to all the troubie and have endured a whole week with a hmiaa full of people when I might have had you all to myself and why? Bless me If I know, replied Sampson, running Ids hand through his But what has Cummings and hair. It Why, It was all to get Will and Carrie together and make a match dont you see? Oh, ah, um, replied Sampson, more or loss lucidly, a light beginning to duwn cn his befogged Intellect. They were born for each other and I happen to know that they were much struck with each .other when they first met, pursued Mrs. Sampson. And Carrie was my old chum and I know she was half In love with Will and Will showed every symptom of having a great admiration for her. And they met but seldom, living In different towns. And I thought what jolly good fun It would be to get them together for a week or ten days under the same roof and make a match of It." "Oh, you conspirator!" laughed Sampson, Indulgently, Well, I am bo happy myself," replied the little woman blushing, and like my own married life so much (hat I thought I would help things along for Carrlo and Will. Her husband bent and kissed her. Youre a darling, he whispered, holding her tight. Well, whats gone wrong? Everything, she replied, the tears again ula.ilug to her eyes. "That hateful Will Cummings will not even look at Carrie, He flirts with all the other girls and goes fishing with the men, hut I cant get him Into the same room with Carrie, excepting at meals, and then he changes seats with somebody or talks to somebody on the other side or across the table. And the worst of It U when by the most patient and deep-laidiplomacy I do get them together as 1 have done several times then Carrie, the mean thing, spoils It all and freezes up and drives him awsy or goes away herself. Its too hateful for anything and I cannot understand It at all, Terhaps they were not so much struck with each other as you thought, remarked Sampson, thoughtfully. "You hateful thing dont you think I know a pair of lovers when I see Mrs. them? exclaimed Sampson, wrenching herself loose and flashing an indignant glance at her spouse. Then she fell Into his arms with true womanly Inconsistency and cried pitifully, Oh, George, that Is Just tho trouble. Ive made a fool of myself and Ill never forgive them never, . never! "Come, rome, said Sampson, now thoroughly master of himself and the situation. Dont take It so hard. What of It, anyway. Weve had a jolly week and what docs It matter to you If Cummings and Miss Hepburn dont happen to fancy each other as you supposed. The whole confounded lot of em are not worth the tears you have shed Tull yourself together and lets go down to dinner. This Is the last evening, you know. The parly breaks up touuorrow. Mrs. Sampson went Into her room to go through those motions by which women Irradlcate the evldenres of worry and (rouble and wear and tear. Fresently she emerged looking as fresh and serene as though there was no house party, no Will Cummings, no Carrie Hepburn, no upset match making plana nothing hut happiness and sunshine and content. llor big husband looked at her with mingled wonder and admiration, and together they went down to greet their friends. At the table Sampson noted for the first time during the week that Miss Hepburn and Cummings were seated next each other. Now that he noticed It, he remembered that they had been so seated since the party convened. Presently ( ummlngs began a scries of light passages with Miss Gray, the big blonde daughter of the Chleago banker, and presently, In a manner half bantering, half gallant, proposed to young Mr. Carson, bo of tho budding mustaehu and lilac perfume, who sat next to her. that they chance seats, for which Mr. Car-ureplied with the dignity b vomlng bis youth that he was well satisfied with his seat and hts neighbors. Sampson glanced nt Miss Hepburn. She was absorbed In n discussion with professor llodley, the spertarled specialist on her left, as to the probable ultimate result of the gradual cooling of the interior of the earth. Cum to-da- u on his right Katheryn Wells-Prestoand plunged into active discussion on womans rights. Sampson glanced at his wife and This Is one time smiled Indulgently. Birdie was fooled, be said to himself. "Cummings and Carrie dont care a tinker's malediction for themselves." After dinner Sampson suggested to his wife that they go for a stroll. The evening was perfect and the moon lit lawn with Its velvet shadows brought back to them all the splendid romance of their courtship. After a lover-likwalk, during which Sampson in his big, strong way lured his wife away from her humiliation and disappoint, ment about Cummings and Miss they returned to the house, where the guests were making merry as became the last night of a most jolly house party. Just without the edge of the circle of light thrown from the glowing windows, In the shadow of a great park, they ran light Into another couple. The ruins arms were around the girl's slender waist, and he strained her to him with passionate strength. Her arms were tight about his neck and her moist lips, lifted to his, were drinking In his irissos. Sampson and his wife started back in confusion. The ether couple broke apart with reddened faces and turned to their host and hostess, There was a cry of surprise from Mrs. Sampson apoplectic symptoms on the part ol Sampson. The other couple were Will Cum mlngs and Carrie Hepburn. The girl recovered herself first. she exCaught red handed! claimed, laughing through her blushes. Well, we might as well fess up.' Will and I have been engaged for a month, but I didnt want to go through this week as a newly engaged girl with everybody's eyes on everything 1 did. So I made Will agree not to tell anybody and not to pay any particular attention to me. Now, that the party is over, we don't care. In fact, we had planned to have you announce It tonight. It has been an awful strain but I think we carried It off pretty well, dont you? Well, I should think you did, replied Sampson. "George Sampson," whispered, a soft voice in his ear that night, If you ever so much as remember that I didnt know all the time that Will and Carrie were engaged, I'll go back tc mamma and get a divorce. e Hey-bum- THE FOE OF GRAND OPERA Throat and Nasal Affections Prevents Development of American Singers. Catarrh has prevented America from developing male grand opera singers. Enrlce Caruso, Arturo Vlgna, and Julian Storey have said so and II must be true, says the Chicago Tribune. "America has developed no great men singers, remarked Vlgna, be cause the American man has not the masque. He does not sing from hi face. He Insists on singing from hi lungs and that is because there is nc school for singing. "What Is The masque? " was asked. "It Is this: The carrying pewer ot the voice is not made up of the tones thrown out from chest notes. It comes from the high and strong and clear tones which are given from the throat and the mouth. American men are so much given to catarrhal troubles that they are generally barred from that form of vocal expression. When they do achieve It the sound Is apt to ba nasal and shrill." What do you mean by saying that we have no school of music In America? "Why, America has the ragtime school, said Mr. Storey. That Is purely American. More American, do you think, than coon songs or the old plantation melodies? As much as both classes of tuiies you speak of are In vogue, it does not form a school," said Mr. Vlgna. It does not make national music. America Is absolutely devoid of national music, although there are a great many competent and capable writer of music In America. AS COLLEGE RAFFLES. DIZZY th Or.

Miss Wilson Posed as Freshman at Smith and Chummed with Girl Students. Northampton, Mass. Miss Gilmore Wilson, who has posed as a young woman of wealthy parentage and a member of the Smith college freshman class, is under arrest on the charge of larceny. Miss Wilson's arrest followed a long series of thefts In various college houses. The police have made tremendous efforts to keep the mattei quiet and refuse to discuss the case further than to admit the arrest of Miss Wilson, who Is a strikingly handsome young woman of 19 or 20 years and who dresses In the height of fashion.

If loose the chances are that they may fall out, hence good pearl hunters search the stream bed and even dig up the dirt.
