MERRIwID 1 D KINNFTT~ I-S 0 ~JvR MELISSA WOULD RATHER EM-'c PLOY HER OWN FACULTIES. Mrs Merriwid paused in front of t the mirror that panelled a section of i the wall space from floor to ceiling- i a satisfactory mirror in a good light. F She was attired in a crimson morning i gown and her hair was still in its 1 braid. "Quite gay and girlish!" she mur- i mured. t "Who is?" demanded her maternal maiden aunt Jane. I "You are, dearie," replied Mrs Mer- t riwid, turning herself half around to get the effect of the back. "You know perfectly well you weren't thinking of me." said Aunt Jane, severely "You were thinking of yourself." "Do you know how my thoughts could be better employed?" demand h ed Mrs. Merriwid, with a brilliant smile. "Of course I might have been thinking of Mr. Eighmee," she contin ued "You will have to be giving him a little consideration pretty soon." re plied Aunt Jane. "He's a most remarkable man," said Mrs. Merriwid. reflectively. "Not an ordinary man, by any means." "He impresses one," assented Aunt Jane. "Like a boot heel on a pet corn." said her niece. "Put I've learned more about him during the short pe riod that he has been calling than I would about most men in a lifetime I even know that he wears medicated flannel next to his skin, winter and summer." "Melissa!" exclaimed Aunt Jane, in horror-stricken tones. "I couldn't help it, dearie," protest ed Mrs. Merriwid. "I didn't ask him for the information. He thought it would interest me so he naturally and simply told me." "I don't see how he could possibly consider it a matter of interest-toi 7' I I i U 111 i1 I + II 9>l ir 1,, "Quite' G a G i 1She Mu m "Quite Gay and Girlish!" She Murmured. say nothing of the impropriety," said Aunt Jane. "'It's a matter intimately concerning him. isn't it?" said Mrs. Merriwid "Very well, then. It ought to interest anybody. I'm surprised! I suppose when I tell you that he has had two of his back teeth filled, you will fall to realize the significance and Im-I portance of it. Keeping one's teeth in proper condition is necessary for the proper mastication and subsequent assimilation of food. If there is any derangement of Mr. Eighmee's diges tive apparatus, it affects his energy and his mental faculties and the world is a loser by just so much." "I should imagine that something had affected his mental faculties." said Aunt Jane. rubbing her nose "Say not so, dearie." begged Mrs Merriwid. "Mr. Eighmee is particu larly sane. He prides himself above all things on his sanity He is a modest man. but that is one thing he insists on. The trouble with most people is that they allow their views become distorted by prejudices of one sort or another Mr Eighmee has no prejudices. Convictions he has firm and unalterable convictions, but no prejudices." "That's very nice, i'm sure," re marked Aunt Jane "Isn't it?" said Mrs. Merrtwid. "To -ontinue this interesting subject. Mr Elghmee rises punctually at half-past eix o'clock in the winter and at five pLooking Ahead. Little Nora (aged eight, to Edith, aged ten)-What! A big girl like you playing with a Teddy bear? Edith-Yea, haven't you got one? Nora--Mine is locked up in the cup board, where it shall stop until I am married, when I may bring it out for my children to play with. Edith-What if you don't have any children? Nora-Well, thn,. in that case it will do for my 'andehildre. I- 'o'clock in the summer. He believes in regularity-in system. He takes a cold bath. He hasn't missed taking ýf his cold bath once in ten years. He f finds it stimulating and he attributes - his immunity from colds and his gen t. eral good condition to this and the g few simple gymnastic exercises that .s he takes after the bath. Then he ' takes a light breakfast and arrives at r his office clear-headed and fit and able to cope successfully with any of the Il difficult problems that invariably arise. iHe is not capricious in his r tastes. He likes his roast beef rare .o and prefers a good full-cream Amer• ican cheese to the decayed and germ ýu infested importations from abroad. it He's a plain man and makes no pre ig tensions." "Mercy!" exclaimed Aunt Jane. ts "tie has several relatives but he d- doesn't like them and makes no bones it of saying so," Mrs. Merriwid pro ,n ceeded. disregarding the interruption n- "le doesn't see why the accident of relationship should give one person a any special claim on another. A man e- is what he Is. He ought to be able to stand on his own merits. Mr. Elgh mee stands on his own merit and he's ,t got a fairly firm footing, if you ask him. His favorite color is red-some at thing about the shade of this dress. I think. He used to be subject to rheumatism. He likes the country >d once in a while as a change from ,e- town, but he wouldn't care to live I there. He has the social instincts and .e. likes to feel himself a force among his ?d fellow men. What he wants and id what he intends is to go into politics and rattle up some of these dry bones in that have been fattening on the life blood of the nation. He isn't opposed 3t- to trusts, but he would control them m in such a manner that would prevent it the accumulation of colossal wealth id to the individual. That is his idea." "Is there any more?" inquired A"nt ly , Jane. to "Lots, honey," Mrs. Merriwid an d 'swered. "He la a little quick-tem pered, but not a man to sulk or bear tg a grudge. He is rather inclined to d be reckless about spending money st and a little foolish about lending it to 5e people who never pay him back; still, +o he makes a point of living well with .11 in his income. He uses Brissels' a- shaving soap and thinks Vesta Tilly a th really remarkable actress. Finally, ar and most important of all, he likes at brunettes-not the blue-black raven's iy wing variety, but the softer and less s- decided type to which I belong" t "I infer that you have arrived at Id a decision in his case," said Aunt Jane '. "The surest thing you know, sweet heart," said Mrs. Merriwid, returning to the mirror and smiling at her own reflection. "You know I'm quite a u- little interested in myself, and admit Se ting that Mr Eighmee is interested a in me, too. he is so much more inter ested in Mr. Eighmee. Another thing no woman wants a lot of accurate and reliable knowledge about her in of tendd that she hasn't found out bi her little lonesome " u "ut they always tell abo'it them selvws.
