the BUFFALO EVENING NEWS: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1905. 8 EVENING NEWS. Buffalo, Thursday, Feb. 2, 1905. A Bowling Belle.

She doesn't seem to get the range, Her score is never high; And all the men unite to 2 The trouble's with her eye. But when "bowled over," right and left, A score of victims lies, Again the men unite to say The trouble's with her eyes. -Browning' a Magazine, "Times" Revenge George was quite ready to argue the point. He sat down and lit a cigarette. "Now then, let's be calm," he sald.

"I'm quite calm," said the girl. "Very well, then, why won't you marry me? What's wrong with me?" dear George," said Violet, "I am not like other girls. For any other girl you would make, I am sure, husband. the man I manscellent volce grew more be a hero, a man out of the common, a man whose name is in everybody's mouth." She looked at the photograph of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain that stood on her desk.

"My dear girl!" said George. Violet gazed earnestly like you, George," she said, at last. "When you are famous I will marry you." Geoge shifted awkwardly in his seat. "Look here, Vi," he said; "if you want me to go about making speeches all over the place, I'll do it, of course. At the same time-" "I certainly don't want you to go about making speeches all over the place, as you describe Violet interrupted; "there are other ways of befamous." ing, say, what do you call famous? I my "One sign of fame is the frequent appearance of one's name in the papers." "Saturday Sportsman," said George, promptly.

"Every week, and again on Mondays. 'Back, G. "I don't refer to sporting papers," said Violet, chillingly, "Arthur Clinton has had some signed verses in the morning Press." "All right," said George; "I'll take to poetry if you like." "My dear George," said Violet, "don't be so absurd! I only instanced Mr. Clinton as an example. you understand that I want to be the wife of some one? I want to be able to take up the Times each morning and read my husband's name in it.

I don't want him to be a nonentity. If I married you, no one would wonder if I was the wife of the George "Hang it all, no other George Hopper has played for the South" "I don't happen to be interested in football, you see. Now, George, dear, I do like you, and if you'll show me that you really want to be, and will try to be, some one, I'll -I'll think over what you asked me." She smiled prettily at him. "I do want to be some one," said George; "I want to be the husband of the Miss Thurston." Violet smiled gravely, Flattery never had any effect on her. "George," she said, "when your name appears In the Times then come and ask me again." She added, in reply to a question of George's, that the advertisement and sporting pages didn't count.

Pressed further she disqualified also the Agony Column. He left with no certain idea as to what step he should take, and discussed the matter with her. Next a day he called on Ruth Clifford Ruth and he had been friends since childhood. George poured out his woes. "Yes," said Ruth; "it's very interesting.

I suppose you realize that she isn't in the least suited to you" "Of course!" said George. "That's why I fell in love with her." "I know, as a fact, that she paints," murmured Ruth, inconsequently. "H'shs! No confidences." "Dear boy, I want you to marry somebody nice." do That's why I want your help. Now, what would you suggest? Do you think I might write a letter to the Times? I could write on the decadence, or something, of Rugby football. Only they'd probably shove it on the sporting page." "It's ridiculous," said Ruth, "the whole idea.

She wouldn't marry you just because you had your name in the Times." "She said she would, and she happens to be one of the few women who aren't of opinion that only men are supposed to keep their word." "Thanks!" said Ruth, angrily. "And I might reply that, anyhow, it isn't very honorable to get a girl by a trick like that. What she meant was something quite different." "It isn't a trick," said George. "She really is fond of me, and this is simply a test to see 1f I would take any trouble please her." "Oh, go away!" said Ruth. "I say, what are you angry about? Hang it all, why -you're not crying? What's the matter?" "Nothing at all," said Ruth quickly.

George left in some concern. He felt that he had put his foot into it somehow. After considering the matter in all its bearings he gave it up, began instead to think of Violet and the "Times." When he saw Ruth again he had a really immense idea. "You see." he said, "it's well known that the Times reports all law cases with great fullness." "Well George hesitated. "You see.

the idea was, I might easily get chucked out of the Alhambra tomorrow night." "George!" "The fine wouldn't be more than shillings, and, say half-a-sov. to the Alhambra man to do it gently. You see, knowing him from last 'varsity match makes it so easy. And then the Times reporting all law cases so fully-" "Stop it, George!" "Of course, the pater might see it and stop my allowance, and the matter would be upset-" "I should think so!" "Only one must take risks of some sort. What do you think?" Ruth picked up a ivory paper knife from the table and went over to his chair.

"Now," she said, waving it threateningly over his head, "look me in the eyes, George." He did so admiringly. She had never looked so pretty. "Oh!" cried Ruth. "Now then, promIse me faithfully, on your word of honor. that you'll never do anything so, "But.

absolutely Ruth, dear-' idiotic." "Promise!" she said, holding the point of the paper knife at his heart. "Yes, yes. I promise." Ruth sank back on the sofa. "There!" she said. "'Thank heaven we've knocked that out of his silly old head! Now let's us talk about something else.

Who won on Saturday? Oh. but I know! Congratulations." A week later and the Times was still worrying along without George's name. He had written one letter to that paper, pointing out what the government should have done in a certain crisis, but It had not been printed. Ruth and he had talked the matter over at great length and on many afternoons. "If the worst comes to the worst." he said on one occasion.

"I can always figure in the death column." "I am afraid it would be too late then." "True," said George, thoughtfully. "I saw her in the park with Mr. Clin. ton yesterday," said Ruth. "Why not?" said George, coldly.

About a fortnight after this he met MY LADY'S MIRROR. STUNNING VISITING COSTUME. Much has been said and written of the popularity of velvet and its combination with cloth, and in no way is it more striking than as above sketched. Here the skirt is of perfectly plain violet The Louis VI. coat is purple velvet with a surplice vest of plaited violet taffeta.

A strapped collar extends over the shoulders in sharp points and down the front on each side to bust line, where there is a jabot of fine lace. Six large fancy buttons decorate the front. Violet Thurston suddenly at the corner of Piccadilly. "Well, how are you?" she said, giving him your hand. "Oh, very well, thanks." "I read the every day," she said, meaningly.

"Indeed?" he said, politely. "Do you get it under the new system for three pounds, or did you always take it in?" She looked at him in astonishment. He laughed nervously. "Oh, a joke of mine," he said, hurriedly. "I thought-I thought I'd take you in, don't you know.

As a matter fact. I may say that before the end of the week- He stopped and nodded mysteriously. It seemed the best way out of it. "Really?" "Yes." "How clever of you." "Well," he said, modestly, "it isn't all my idea. Miss Clifford and I have been putting our heads togetherMiss Thurston had been admiring a hat in the window.

She turned back to him. what?" she said, absently. "Have been- He broke off. Miss Thurston had turned to the window. The full meaning of his words came to him suddenly.

He tried not to laugh, and made strange noises within. The joke, he thought, would appeal to Ruthlet finished her inspection of the hat. "Wake up, George!" she said. He came to himself with a start. "I'm going to Surrey tomorrow," Violet went on; "so, if there is anything in the Times you must send it on.

I'll give you the address. I shall expect it, George was now fairly caught, "I think it will be Friday," he said. "Good-by." "Now what on earth am I to do?" he thought, as he walked along Piccadilly. "I couldn't get anything in the Times by Friday If I wanted to. Hanged if I hadn't forgotten all about the arrangement, meeting her suddenly like that!" He looked at the address she had given him.

"Good Lord!" he said. It worried him for 20 yards, and then he returned to the, thoughts that Violet had interrupted before. Opposite the Green Park he spotted Ruth Clifford across the road. He went quickly over; as he did so, the great plan came to him. "Hello and hooray!" he said.

the matter?" said Ruth. "Everything. You're the one person I wanted to see. I've got the most glorious idea." "Still thinking of the silly old Times?" "Wait, oh, wait! Let's find a shady corner in the park and I'll tell you. Bless you, dear, you do look ripping today.

And it's such a lovely plan!" On Friday evening Violet Thurston recelved a copy of the Times, addressed George's handwriting. She opened it eagerly and blue pencil marks caught her eye. She read: "A marriage has been arranged and will shortly take place between George Hopper, youngest son of Gen. Sir Arthur Hopper, K. C.

and Ruth Emily Clifford, only daughter of the late James Clifford." -London Sketch. MARION Household HARLAND'S TALKS From a Woman's Point of View. The Question of Cremation. Question--Is the process of cremation against any Christian belief -for example; the Roman Catholic? If sO, why? Answer--The Roman Catholic Church strictly forbids cremation. Cremation was a pagan rite practiced by those who denied the resurrection of the body.

The Jews, under the old law, and the Christians, under the new, buried their dead. The Catholic desires to be buried as his Lord and Saviour was buried, and also to rise at the last day as that Saviour rose. The Catholic bishop blesses the cemetery for the reception of the Catholic dead. The Catholic Church adapts herself to time and place when there is no question of faith or morals. So, if pestilence or by any rendering cremation necessary for like evil should overtake us, therethe sake of the living, the Church would suspend her rules for the time being.

Why doesn't she go home?" Now, why should she go home- -the girl who has just come to conquer the city? The women who are at the heads of their professions did not go home, and they are not going to keep places always. Who will take their places if that army of eager, confident young women at the boarding-house tables of New York should suddenly go home? There came a girl to New York, three years ago, who went to see one of the successful women in her profession.

"My dear young friend," said the successful woman, "go home. I have an average of 10 girls a day who come to me as you have come. I know girls of refinement-college-bred and clever -who cannot earn $5 a week in this town. Go home and stay there." "But you didn't go home," suggested the girl. "That was because I didn't know what I was daring," replied the successful woman.

The girl did not go home, however. She stayed, and now is earning a salary almost equal to that of the successful woman--for New York is indeed a fairy city if one knows a little magic oneself. To every girl who has come here to make her way I should like to say two things: First, know yourself; that bit of advice has never yet been equaled. Second, if it is not your pride, nor your desire, nor your discontent at home, but your sober judgment of your own ability and perseverance that leads you to belleve honestly that you can win--then stay. Given health, and with no pressing call of duty at home, any girl who understands her own personality, and who stays in the belief I have just mentioned, holds her future in her own hands.

her own hands! There, is the rub; for upon the way she juggles the future with her own clever hands everything depends, far more than on the intervention of Success. 00000000000000000000000000 Mme.
