Strikes you kind of funny, don't it,

"A professional matinee!" cried the
cook. "What's that?"
"Are they right downstairs?" asked
the waitress.

looked out for these details when she

Little Vices That Masquerade as Virtues
FltAVKXKSS.
By Hillic Burke.
"Mercy, but you are looking old,"
exclaims your frank friend with an
air of greatest virtue.
You try to smile and give your sag
ging features an upward slant, but
your friend catches you before you
have succeeded and again exercises
her diabolical frankness.
"Now, don't feel hurt," she admon
ishes, "you know you can't make
people think you are a spring chicken,
no matter how much you like to" do
so. Other people may flatter you with
the idea, but I always say what 1
think."
' Mentally you tell yourself that if
you said what you thought you would
certainly tell your frank friend that
her thoughts must always be very dis
agreeable ones, as you seldom have
heard her express herself pleasantly
about anybody or anything.
Just how the vice of frankness got
over into the virtue column is hard

The two city detectives and the one
police matron were waiting silently in
Rosalie Re Grange's room. As the in
spector entered, a change came over
them. None rose or shifted position,
but their bodies took on an appear
ance of alert stiffness, their faces a
look of attention. Salutes, square
shoulders, all the frills and decora
tions of military etiquette, were un
necessary among these four to prove
the strictness of the inspector's com
mand. McGee locked the door behind
him. Rcsalie closed the transom.
"Is this place safe for talk, now?"
"Perfect." said Rosalie. "Ive tried
it. Rut talk low, to be sure."

AS TOLD BY AUNT GUUTIJ:.
Chapter II.
They drove right up to a king's pal
ace! The carriage they were in wast so
beautiful and the horses were so well
groomed that the king believed the
three old soldiers to be king's sons
from a neighboring province He
greeted them with open arms and
made them acquainted right away,
with his beautiful daughter!
Now, this daughter was very clever
and cunning. One day while ,the sec
ond soldier was walking with the
princess in the garden she noticed
the purse he carried. S"he asked him
about it. He foolishly told her the
story of the red jacket dwarf and the
three gifts. Immediately the princess
decided she would have the cloak and
the purse and the horn. She set to
work and made another purse just
like the soldier's. Then she exchang-

tue in saying disagreeable things to
others and that is where your frank
friends shine, no matter mow much
they are hated for doing it.
I have made it a practice in the
last few years to cut all distressingly
frank people off my list of acquaint
ances. I don't want to be told I am
growing old; that gown 1 must wear
another year is entirely out of fash
ion, that the girl my brother is going
to marry is much older than he; that
it is strange my husband married a
dark woman, he always seemed so
devoted to blonds. Ignorance or these
things is bliss for me, consequently I
fight shy of all those people who think
it a virtue to tell me the fauks and
foibles of myself and my family.
Then there are the people who are
so arrogantly frank about themselves,
who seem to think that what happens
to themselves is of the utmost import
ance to the world at large. While
these people do leave so many heart
burnings behind them they are the
worst of bores.
Utter frankness about one's self or
about others is not only ' a small
vice, but it is very bad taste. Lincoln
said that a disagreeable handling of
the truth was more apt to spread dis
aster than an out-and-out lie."
ed them when he was not looking.
The next day the soldiers went
home. They needed money. The sec
ond soldier got out his purse, took out
the money in it, but found, to his dis
may, that no more came in. Then he
guessed the princess had played a
trick on him and he confessed to hav
ing told her their secret about the
dwarf and the gifts.
"Don't worry," said the first old
soldier. "I will fix that." He put on
his cloak and wished himself In the
princess' sitting room. Sure enough,
there he found-her counting her tfold.
Then he stood looking at her. But he
stood too long, for she turned and saw
him. shouting with all her might,
"Thieves. Thieves." The servants
and the whole court. In fact, came
rushing to see what was the matter!
He was very much frightened and de
cided to get away. Forgetting that
he could "wish himself away, he ran to
an open window and jumped. Un
luckily his cloak caught on a snag.
The princess saw it and Joyfully
snatched it, for she knew Its worth.
The poor old soldier went back to
his friends to tell them his sad
plight.
"Never mind." said the third old
soldier. "I will call 8.1d." So he put
the horn in his mouth and sent forth
a great blast of sound. Immediately
armed horsemen appeared ail around
the old soldiers. And together they
set out to make "war on the king
whose daughter had possessed herself
of the magic cloak and purse.
The king did not know what to do,
so went to his daughter for advice.
"Lea.ve it to me." she said, reassur
ingly. "I think I can find a way to
drive these men out of our country."
What do you think she did? She
managed to fteal the horn out of the
third old soldier's tent when he was
not looking.
Then the three old fellows w.?re
completely, stranded. They decided to
part, and one of them went away by
