y7-!PmyPwy;'w'''fJB" THE REPUBLIC: SUNDAY, JULY 26. 190b'. X s lj " Did ycu know that a ee'taln young D;n- edlck. who lately mid n rather "o'p KiTi of marriage, who Is a very attraet've man personallv. though l.a lias not what might be te.rme.1 "staving qualities." once paid numerous aril Iolr.lc0 attentions o a jircttj Cnbanne girl., v.'ho has been In an other city for the lat sis months She Is plump as well n pretty s.nd has the finest pair of houlder that an) body m'ght vvlsh for en a summer's day. The man used to t-ll her that she was a perfect dream I think that was his word -In a decollete sown, fo when he railed, wnlch was about seven nights a week, n Invariably put on a kov.ii that would d! jilaj the pearly .shoulder-. One night It wa" midwinter the girl's parents decSSeJ that om- thins inu-l be lone. The taarcd that the man would lure their pretty daughtei o-u to Clnvton .T.3 inarrj htr offhand. In iev. of the man's mbsetiunt hlstoij they tire Uite rignt nut that 1 neither hero ior there. They leeided. as 1 .iid, tliat s.rciiuous msa-iure must be adopted. The slrl'.s father Is the o'Jl of Sou'h'rn jiolilcnes-. and he somehow did hate to as-t-!st the chap out of doors with a forceful paunt leather Then he aIo hated to tell him even t.ic: fullj that his calls were about -oven times too numerous each wetk. lie and nn.nini held a council of war and deelqej that tney were up against it. a" Go rge Ade In-, s-aid ulio other people. They linallv agr.jd en strategy. Mamma remembered her daughter's fond-r.e-s for low-necKed govvi.s when the jojng man was eapected So mamma suggested that evening, as daughter a togplng up In her bw-t. that -he wear a certain t.ii.i black !aee dres that had no lining in the waist, arid vvj" moreover. Cist low jdu it the throat, with short sleeves that only covered tlie upper p.iit of the arms, witn lace full of big holes In the pattern. Daugh ter fell right in with the idea. Daughter unt downstairs that n'ght looking s0 swett and dimply and Jt'n gcther lovable that both mother's and fa ther's heart sank wllh remorse as :h-y (razed on her. But they buoyed each other with the thought that it was for her bet. and so they smothered their feelings and rcsoli.u to act What did they do? Oh. just turned oft the heat In the fur nace. Cards have reached this city announcing the marriape of Mr. Ieon V Heuser to Hiss Jfancy Maj Scott, at Farnissus. Pa. Mr. Heuser has many friends in St Louis, who will he gristed to learn that he v. Ill In the future reside in Pennsvlvanij. Soeietv Is indulging in considerable specu lation concerning the matrimonial Intention- wf a West Helle place girl who last spring quietly told her Intimate friends that she expected to marry a medical man ixom Kari'ai CIt The engagement had no Xormal announcement, I believe, though her aunt did gi've a sweet-pea luncheon In her honcr. B.'t the news had already been told fcefore the function. At all oei.ts this summer a certain good looking juung banker has ben courting the lady moi-t industriously, and the Kans.n City doctor's chances are lessening day b daj. Indeed. I louM if he has a show at ah. for I pre the banker and the girl to Kethr cver.vuhtie. and they wear an air of unmistakable devotion that Is as far fnjn anj thing platonlc as this tcrrestial sphere Is from the Borelll comet. I should net ha in the least surprised to see some re-atly engraved wedding cards, relative to this affair, by Sptemhr 21. The Karsas City medical gentleman's name will not be therein, of that jou may be sure. While on this interesting topic o' cngnce ments I am reminded of anothc- afialr du coeur. which has not .-o far progressed smoothly. That is the lady and gentleman nre all right in their knowledge of and mu tual trust In each uthci. but thcr." Ii tho old. but ncverth.-less unpleasant, parental objection. The girl Is a petite ind very pretty South Side miss, thoush not Teutonic .in her ancestry. Tho man also live? on the South Side, and they have -o far ben obliged lo conduct their courtship unur very difficult circumstances tir papa and mamma, the girl's parent, are. to be sangy. "deid set agalnt" their daughter marrying any rtil a wealthy m-n. The man In question Is In modest, but by no means Impoveilshed. circumstance-, and will be able by fall to lit un .1 s.vali fiat ery cozlly, and keep the refrigerator full, besides. I don't predict an elopement, for they nre both far loo sensible for that. 1 rather hink that papa and mamma will be won over by October Let us hope so. Miss Elizabeth Young's engagement was rather a surprise to Si. Louis friends last week and shared honors with that of Mr. Houston T. Force and Ml-s TIchennr. which was not. however, altogether unex pected. Mls Young has not been here since her sister. Mrs. Knight, ami brothcr-In-law. Captain Knight, were at the barracks. Tiien there were trolley parties galore and In formal hop. I rememljer an especially jolly one that Will J. Thornton gave one sum mer evening, when the guests rode down Jefferson Harracks way in a rtrlvatc car. ate largely of all orts of dainties en route and after reaching the barracks danced merrily till almost sunup or wouldn't I better say, reellle? Elizabeth Young was then at Bishop Itobeflson Hall and did not actively indulge In these jollifications Her next older sis ter. Marjory, who has since married a Phil adelphia doctor, was the bairacks belle, that year and plaxed hanc with the hearts of a St. Iu1k newspaper mnn. a St. Louis lawyer, a bachelor deioted to the Unhersily Club, where he spends all of his time that Is not ghen over to 'golf, and a cultured German doctor not the one from Philadel phia. Then she calmly gave lliem all the mitten and went to New York to live a la bachelor girl with three other "army girls," Your Opportunity Monday in St. Louis I have set aside thl dav to nsr form sekntlflc painless operations for correcting imperfect and de formed features and removing ail unsightly blemishes on the face or body.
