Jones or both, shonld arise and pnt this
question. It is a tin de siccle question. I
The first instance of shaving originated
from the necessities of war. In the late
autumn uf the y»*ar 800 B. C., the Mace* I
dunians got their crops in early, ami
after the celebration of tbc harvest home
things got pretty uninteresting in Mace
donia. It waa too cold to fish and too
warm to skate, and the prospect for the
Macedonian on pleasure brat wtren he .
fired up the be*eburner and reflected
that skate* hadn’t been invented yet was
not a happy one.
Things con tinned to dreg on until
Thanksgiving time. 800 B. C., when the
Mnredoninne gut together, sailed down
on the Greeks and did them bottle. The
Greeks got the worst of It. and fur nn
ether rreeno than that they sported lung,
fie sing heonh. The anarandlaf Mace
donians grabbed there Grecian eraa-

that pmiknbly gave rtre to the
Yorker’s dress was not only an art, but
a science—nn art because he had an eye
to harmony; n science because he had a
comprehensive knowledge of means to
ends. ’
Any one knows enough not to wear a
rod cravat and a bottle green coat; bat
how many men know how to have their
coats cut or their shoes shaped? They
leave It to their tailors, and most tailors
cut a coot the same for a stripling of
twenty as they would for an alderman.

2,000 feet he suddenly recollected that
his parachute was a braud new one uud

sack of sand (ballast) to the parachute

“See there. Sophie! Just took at your

how I con id paint that! sad tho— pink

looked Into his dork face, which waa
lit up with the glow of an almobt poetic

“And, you know,” he went on,
“something tells me that I shall paint
you better than I SPef painted any

a loosely-fitting lilac—very soft lilac-

which will peep through your curls like
a white dove in a golden cage. And
you must hold a spray of lilacs in your
hand nnd be reclining under a lilac
bush, and I'll call you tho Lilac Witch.
Didn’t you ever hear of the legend of
the Lilac Witch? Grandma used to love
to tell mo about her; she was a very
beautiful fairy and men came around
to catch a smile from her red lips, and
the man she smiled on was made bold
to do high deeds; but If his heart was
drawn away to another woman, in a
moment she spoiled all he had done,
and made a beggarly wretch of him.
Besides, yon know, the' lilac will go so

Why, of o. renie; to had only fa luted It

llenn looked away from the picture,
with a dull ache at kia heart. Some
how, life with Sophie, whan tto “Lilac
Witch’’ was gone, did not seem ao
sweet os It used to la tho old days
when they had the first sittings. Then
the picture only meant to him tto por
trait of his dear Sophie. Now, when
he was gazing into that fair, arch face
on tto canvas, so triumphant and yet
ao pitying and tender, be never thought
of its being Sophie's face at all Ua

He shook his head resolutely, and
