> Her Advice.
"Reginald." says the beauteous ob
Ject of his adoration. "I happened to
read in the paper that sugar has gone,
away up in price, and for that reason
candy is more expensive. I just think
you are extravagant to keep bringing
me a pound every time you rail."
"I am glad to do it. darling," avows
Reginald.
"I know you are but you must learn
to be economical. Papa told mamma
to buy sugar by the barrel and get it
cheaper, so maybe you would better
buy candy for me the same way."
Man's Preference.
Miss Lillian Hill, lecturing on eugencies
in Cleveland, said:
"It is a good thing for the human
race that beauty counts for more than
Intellect when it comes to love. Intellect
too often means nerves?insomnia?hypochondria.
"Yes. it is a good thing for the human
race that, as an old maid from
Vassar put it rather bitterly:
"'Men prefer a well formed girl to
n woll informed one.' "

Girl's Fiance Makes a CcnfessH
That Surprises More ThanH
One Friend. ^
By FRANK FILSON.
"Fanny, you've been lording it over
me for for the past month, ever since
your engagement to Edward Brooks.
But you can't do it any more," said
her friend Mildred Thomas, holding
out her left hand with a blush. Fanny
Upton seised it and dragged her
friend into the light. On Mildred's
third finger sparkled a diamond in a
platinum ring.
"Mildred!" excliamed Fanny, kissing
her. "Who is it?"
"I mustn't tell you." answerd Mildred.
"Now don't he angry, dear, because
you shall he the very tirst per-,
son to know. It's a sacred promise?
for certain reasons."
"Oh. I'm sure I don't want to know.
Mildred." said Fanny coldly, releasing
the hand she held.
"Oh yes you do. Fanny. Now don't
be cross. Listen! We're going to
have an engagement party on Saturday
night, and It will be announced
then. And you are to come and be
told first. See?"
Fanny was mollified a litttle. "Well,
if you thins it's worth making a secret
of to please your fiance, all right." she
said. "But you know very well he
has secrets he hasn't shared with
you."
"Fanny!" cried Mildred Thomas Indignantly.
"Of course he has. goose. Don't
you suppose he has been in love
dozens of times?rapturously in love,
jinn never ioui yon a word or it
Fanny," said her friend indignantly,
"l\e told tne that he has tie\er been
in love in his life before. He has
never kissed any girl but me."
~"l?ooh!" said Fanny mockingly.
I "Now Kriward knew 1 was too sensible
to fall for that sort of yarn and he
confessed. But he didn't tell me all.
No, sir. and I'm going to find out a
| whole lot more before 1 marry him."
j Mildred remained coldly silent.
I "Oh, Mildred, here's a joke." said
her versatile friend. "Now are you

game for it? Let's each write a letter
! to our fiances, saying, "I have found
out everything and shall expect you
to explain?if you can.' What a joke
that would be. Picture the poor
men's faces! Will you, Mildred?"
"It seems a shame," murmured Mililred.
"But 1 couldn't bear to think he
bad deceived me. Are you sure he
j has. Fanny?"
"Mv dearest girl, of course he has.

never kissed anyone but you? Mildred,
you certainly are simple. And now'a
the time to show him you aren't as
simple as he thinks, and he'll think
all-the more of you for it. Is it a bar
gain?"
It was. It was not without many
; misgivings that Mildred Thomas
' mailed her letter to George Howard.
but Fanny's hints were eating into
j her soul like vitriol. She must know,
j now. whether her lover ever had been
in love before. That would be dreadful.
Still she might i'orgive it. but
she could never forgive deceit. When
' the letter was mailed she wanted It
back, and all that day and the next
she listened in terror for the postman's
whistle. On the third day,
Friday, the answer came?a hasty, incoherent
letter, full of self-accusations
and reproaches. "I shall tell
you about what you refer to when I
call tomorrow evening." he wrote.
| "and 1 shall come half an hour before
the party, in the hope of gaining your
forgiveness before the guests arrive."
Mildred was looking her prettiest
when George Howard -arrived. He
looked so haggard and mournful that
she could hardly find words with
which to greet him. Bitterly now she
repented having been persuaded l>y
Fanny to play that foolish joke. Hut
she must play her part through. They
sat down very soberly side by side in
the empty reception room.
"I'm going to tell you everything.
Mildred." said George humbly. "I did
not wilfully deceive you, for it was
only because 1 had put the memory
of that mad summer, two years ago.
out of my mind and heart, and dared
not recall it. even to myself. She
was the only woman before you."
"Go on," murmured Mildred, and to
her consternation she discovered that
