Why, who would want to marry an old fogy like me? "Some might," retorted Miss John-Botossing her head, and for the firt time the professor wondered why Miss Johnson, with her strong, capable hands and warm heart had never married. Miss Johnson came every day to attend to the professors needs. He was instructor In Latin at the college. Miss Elizabeth Johnson was the daughter of a fellow professor who had died impoverished. She was not pretty, but she was a universal favorite, and she was treated as a social equal by everybody in spite of the menial work she did. Miss Johnson might have been thirty-five- . If ever 1 got married, mused the professor, as he wandered In the direction of the town. I should want a wife with light brown hair, blue eyes, a pleasant but not necessarily beautiful face, and of a stature five feet four or five feet six. She should be a good cook and fond of children, alwayu and why, bless me. He blushed as he hurried along the street, for It had suddenly occurred to him that he was describing Mjsi Johnson.

(Copyright. TIGER 1H by W. O. Chapman.) FAILED HIS IN PART Youthful Hypnotiat Might Have ceeded, but Savage Brute Refuted Suc- to Lend Aid. Jack the Lion Tamer, a boy who got the notion that he could subdue the wildest of wild beasts by looking them in the eye, had a narrow escape irom serious injury In the Central park menagerie at New York when he tried to hypnotize Dick, the savage .Siberian tiger. Dick was lying near the iron bars of the outer cage when the young lion tamer came along. The boy had been caught pulling a lions tail several times this summer and had been warned of the danger. He got inside the railing, approaching the tiger's cage, and put a hand and arm between the bars. Then he called to Dick as he would to a dog, while looking him In the eyes. The big tiger hasnt lost any of his savage nature since arriving at tbe park, and when he saw the arm la his cage his muscles stiffened for action. His ears went back and his lips curled. A group of men stood near, but no one warned the boy of his peril. The lad thought he had the beast subdued and was bringing his hand closer and closer. Keeper George Slcbert happened to go outside and, seeing the situation, grabbed the boy by the collar and pulled him back just as the tiger leaped toward the boys hand. One of Dicks claws tore the boys Index finger. The keeper gave him a lecture and expelled him from the menagerie. d Isnt His. the professor started In surprise, to see that he was looking Into the face of a comely young woman who carried a baby. "1 assure you no barm has been done, she said. So If you will kindly hold my little girl while I look for it, everything will come out all right." And she thrust a blinking bundle into his arms. Professor Barry had never held a baby in his life and would have indignantly declined, but his arms went out instinctively, and a moment later he found himself holding the bundle, while the mother disappeared Into the midst of the shopping crowd and was lost to view almost immediately. Now I wonder what it was that I did, suggested the professor to himself, but there was no answer coming. It must have been something dreadful to have merited this penalty. The bundle was becoming ly heavy, and, what was worse, the little face suddenly screwed up and a wail of extraordinary intensity came from it. Hush, hush, baby, Implored the professor, dandling the infant Go to sleep like a good boy I mean girl. Mother will come by and by. Apparently this prospect did not act as a soothing Incentive for the baby began to howl louder than ever.

In the smartest shops and at the leading costumers one may order mourning in eithtr black or white Crepe, which is the rtcognized insignia of mourning, has been used with wonderful effectiveness, especially in millinery. Black crape hats and veils, for first mourning, have been duplicated exactly in white crape. This is an exquisite fabric and since the designers began using it they have achieved some new and wonderfully beautiful effects not possible in other materials. It is not merely a whim of fashion that has brought about the adoption of the neiv white mourning" It is a change of sentiment with regard to the meaning of mourning apparel. One need not thiuk very long to conclude that white mourning is meeting a demand for something more, than merely "the trappings and the suits of woe. It is less oppressive than black; in fact it is not at ail somber. Those wlio are in mourning will not be obliged in the future to confine themselves to black or to white or evep to combinations of these; for mourning fabrics are woven in gray and in certain lavender shades. But crape is most effective in black or white. Tailored suits of white serge made up with exquisite neatness and faultlessly cut are favorites for mourning. with either black or white hats and veils they cannot be excelled for elegance.

Then press firmly the under chin with the thumbs while at the same time make the lower chin move back and forth against tbe thumbs.

This will strengthen all the muscles and at the same time it will eliminate the fatty ceils. The soap aids in this by cutting the fat from the skin. The exercise can be endured and even enjoyed if you have a grapho-pbon-e and take the exercise by the music.
