Tichacek, late of St. Louis, relied upon the same power when she selected her maid servants with a view to marrying her sons. Her faith In propinquity was extremely well p'aced. Four of her boys wedded girls trained In housekeeping. Propinquity means local nearness or proximity, and Mrs.

Tichacek had no patent on her system. For generations watchful mammas have calculated "what precise degree of propinquity was safe or seasonable for their daughters," as a famous novelist puts It. Mrs Tichacek mely applied this fajnous principle to fier sons' well-keing. Parents have invented wonderful every smart set of every large city, although they do not avow It. Ambitious mothers send wee 'pretty daughters to exclusive dancing schools with the very young sons of millionaires, hoping devoutly that childish friendship may develop Into debutante love, and ripen Into marriage, when the babes grow up.

Match-making Is an ancient Industry and it is still the most Important business of mothers, but those who make the best deals in the marriage market are those who have a system. The dstails oi the St. Louis system may not suit all mothers, but that subtle prinoiple is one which every modern efficiency expert In match-making approves. Real estate transactions ats under beneficent ruling and change of location, effected through a Want Ad, will bring happiness and prosperity.

"It seems to me that the Slavs are all mixed up In this way, that they are on both sides," said Joe.

"That is true in a measure," said I'nele Harry, "although I think It is a fair statement that the great majority of Slavs are, and have been, against Germany and Auslra-Hungary, and that even the great number of Slavlo people in Austria-Hungary hope some day to be free from Austrian rule. "But this is a very big subject, folks, and it Is impossible or me to tell you "Bt glad to," answered L'ncle Harry.
