Why It Is the Day of All Days In ml aUe-te-e-- FUN. l.uvol.'k Youth's Attempt at a Joke Tnmcd AfccSnst III in. Every man has to take his own lessons in acquiring the art of . understanding the ways of women. Kipling's poem, in which he w inds up several verses explaining some adventure w ith a woman with the linens, "I learned abuut women from her," conveys the idea thai women ore widely eliifcrent in their ways, and the experience of many men liss led them to indorse Mr. Kipling's views in this matter. The last recruit to this Kipling cult is a somewhat bashful young man who has jiut returaid from his vacation, passed at the scshore, and who receives a letter daily und writes one daily but that is the story that is to be explained. This young man is attractive in a way, but his natural ability is screened behind a sense of modesty, and, he ,i9 diffident. He went on his Vacation with the idea a rest and indulging in urf baths. When he arrived ut the hotel at the seaside resort he found he was abou the only eligible young mat) ip the place, and there was a large and attractive array of young women yearning for masculine company. Under this benign condition of affairs his diffidence wore off to a certain extent, aud he played the part cf jjallaat most aercpfblj. Of all the girls in the hotel, howeve r, his fancy settled on one and his attentions to her were most noticeable. The girl was charming in every way, and hud that dangerous virtue of being sympathetic- Where wistful eyes, classic features and superb form have failed very often a sympathetic air and a pretty interest have accomplished the overthrow of the masculine equilibrium. After a week the young man was in love; in ten days he was wildly in love, and at the end of two weeks he was in the superlative condition of love, however that may be expressed. Tho only trouble was that with thi feeling all the old diffidence esme back, and he could not pull himself together sufficiently to make an avowal. The last day of his stay he invited tbi sympathetic maiden to take a drive, so that he could pro)erly say good-b- y and! go over a thousand and one things that her sympathetic nature would understand and approve. The drive was a delightful one and lasted longer than originally planned. Conversation lagged after a time, and both fell into a fit of deep thinking. Finally the couple caught up to a farm wagon which bad been carrying proeluce into the village. The horse was driven by a sharp-facefarmer lad, and at his aide on the seat the Christian Calcadaf. lUXLSICLY THE HAD FARMER n centuries bave passed since there fell upon the ear of a very youthful Jewish mother the most gladsome sound ever conies to d: cr siresmed a .'! mortal the first A beautiful Christwail of her firstAnd the walls gleamed mas evening of She born child.
