HIS CHOICE.
"A sensible woman" he said "is so
rare
That I'd 1e delighter to wed one-
Some woman wiho thinks that to
wear her own hair
Won't make her appear as a dead
one.
I've got an Ideal I look for a irl
Who doesn't apply 'her complexion
Or think that to drift in society's
whirl
Is only the proper direction.
"I don't want a girl who giggles and
smiles
And talks in a way that is silly
Who thinks albout nothing but dif-
ferent styles.
And always looks fussy and frilly.
No sr! I am going to pick out a
wife
With good common sense in her
makeup
When choosing someone who must
6hare all your life
You've got to look out whom you
take up."
Miss Pruldence iMagoogle aged thirty-five
slim
Who dressed very simply and plain-
ly At first seemed to perfectly fasci-
nate him;
She never talked idly nor vainly.
They chatted of souls and historical
facts
They often 'read poems together
He helped her to write all her suf
fragette tracts
And sometimes they talked of the
weather
Miss Imogene Twitter a pretty
young thing
Who wore a full bushel of switches
Whope father was known as the
Wienerwurst king.
And was always piling up riches.
Once met oun cold hero who acted
the brute
And toid her when she walked she
wobbled
She tittered and said 'he knew It
was euto
To wear a tight skirt that was hobbled.
With Miss Lorena Cruce.
The cl:iss of 1911 of the Ardmore
public schools wore entertained on
Saturday evening with a watch par
ty by Miss Lorena Cruce at her home
in Hargrove Heights.
On entering the name of some
noted person was pinned on the back
of each guest and they had to guess
who they were from the eonversa
tlon of theiir. fellow guects. Much
merriment ensued while they estab
lished their identity.
Games were played in the early
part ot the evening and later the
irgiriia Keel wa3 danced.
Two of the guests became so hi
larious in the progliess of t lie dance
that it was finally stoivped because
of their merriment. The guests in
question are entirely too serious
minded and dignified to get their
names mixed up with the Society
columns hut the class of 1011 know
who they are all ritfit.
The new year was heralded with
all the enthusiasm it merits and
they rave a hearty Hah! Rah! liah!
for theprinclpal event of the year-
to-be the gradual ion exercises of
the public schools.
Epwcrth League Social.
very merry and very informal
Alack and alas for our solemn young
man
Who'd said when and whom he
would marry!
He had to revise his remarkable
plan
At Imogene's house he would tarry.
But don't be misled for they never
were wed
She captured a duke with a wobble
And Trudence ftfagoogle one day
lost her head
And now wears a skirt with a hob-

Their itinerary is a long one In
eluding seventeen stops.
J. E. Wirkler a graduate of the
college Is manager and director of

losition for the past six years.
The pianist F. S. Kenyon has
only to he requested and he plays
scores from all the big operas wii'h
entire ease.
"The tunes they like at the lward
ng house" as he cails them were
especially appreciated.
The Glee Club's voices are tuned
n perfect unison and the joy of
their music will linger with all who
he.ird t'hem yesterday afternoon and
evening. They sang witn a delicacy
f erprossion that charms their an-ience.
In the college songs thev are es
peclally fine giving them with a
vim and vigor that makes you feel
in the mood for "railing" yourself.
And they don't mind giving en-
cores either.
The Blue Mouse.
"The Blue Mouse at the Robison
opera house on Friday evening lias
excited some curiosity because of
its name. Womankind of course
feels especial interest in any sort
of a mousebut a blue mouse is
quite lieyond feminine comprehen-
sion. Paulleite Divine a "Salome" danc-
er who is known as the "Blue
Mouse." consents to pose as the
wife of Augustus Rollett the sec-
retary lo Lewellyn president of the
Interstate railroad. Lewellyn is over
fond of innocent flirtations for
which no one Iblames him when they
see his fat and blustering wife and
mis same weakness is seized upon
by Rollett and the "Blue Mouse.
As the real Mrs. Rollett the dancer
calls at the office of the president
and flirts with him with the re
sult that uion her request Rollett
is promoted from an obscure po-
sition to that of division superin
tendent. Naturally Mrs. Lewellyn is
drawn into the plot as well as her
out-of-town father. The situations fol
low one another so fast that there
is little time for breathing.

save for the single electric light
on the corner. The rain had been
almost a deluge. I thought of my
warm and pleasant nooni in the qui
et hoarding house on Washington
street and quickened my pace a
little. As I did so a carriage swung
aiound the? corner of Fifth and Ma-
ple the driver lashing his horses
into a gallop and I was almost
run down. I was directly under the
electric light and I caught a con-
fused glimpse of a slender man
straight and dark lie leaned out
of the window and signalled with
one eager hand to the driver.
"There lias been a mistake!" he
called out hurriedly. I noticed a
faint foreign accent in his voice.
"The train is already in. Fifty dol-
lars if you get me there in time:"
The hand touching the carriage
window was a slender womanish
one. There was a coat sleeve of
grayish tweed a snowy cuff and a
button that attracted niy eyes at
once a spider in grayish fretted
gold with eys of emerald. The next
instant the window came down with

EALTII CLUB has the createst
leavening force the greatest

is the most economical you can buy because
you need use only half as much.
Health Club is prepared of the purest
ingredients by the most skilled chemists.
Our formulas are the most exacting-
each ingredient is measured and rigidly
tested for quality so you can depend on the
uniformity of Health Club which practi-
cally insures uniformity of your bakings.
Every ounce of Health Club receives the
oven test before it is marketed. Enough
for one average baking is selected at ran-
dom from 100 pounds or more and given a
test in baking.
If you want the lightest flakiest bis-
cuits cake or pastries use Health Club.
Next to your own ability it will be the big-
gest factor in your baking successes. We
could charge more for Health Club and get
it but one cent an ounce is the right price.
It's extravagance to pay more.

I laid the letter aside In disgust.
It was like Darby to sent me on a
wild-goose chase such as this prom
ised to be without even allowing me
ime to report fully on my last case.
I looked at my watch and then
onsiilied a nrap upon the wall.

uzled me a little. It way address

is about as follows:

lost entire command of himself.
