A Wedding Eve
Quarrel
By R. S. PHILLIPS
"If you do go"—Anne pouted, and
Anne's style of pout was almost as de-
liciously distracting as her smile—
"you can just consider everything,.
everything"—emphatically, and the
stamp of a small foot added weight to
the assertion—"at an end between
us!"
"But, honey, don't he unreasonable.
It's become almost a time-honored cus-
tom."
"Bachelor dinners on_ the eve of your
wedding may be the custom, but if you
really loved me as you say you do,
you would spend our last unmarried
evening with me—with me only."
There was a suspicion of tears in
Anne's clear eyes.
"Anne! It's quite time this nonsense
stopped." Having tried cajolery, har-
assed Robert Warren vainly supposed
that a bit of sternness in his attitude
might prove an antidote to his capri-
cious love's unreason.
The pretty nose assumed a greater
altitude, and a little slipper began to
beat a devil's tattoo upon the soft rug.
After deep contemplation, Anne said
t/Jt two words—"Oh! Indeed!"
Often had just these two words re-
duced that stalwart man to abject sub-
mission. Now, however, the abject
element was altogether lacking.
"Very well!" springing to her feet
and drawing her five feet nothing to
the fullest height, which allowed a
little more than normal measurement
on account of Louis XIV. heels. "Go
to your bachelor dinner, and tell your
precious ushers that it heralds your re-
entrance into single blessedness! I'm
glad! Glad! Glad! Robert Warren,"
tempestuously, "that I've found you
out before to-morrow!"
And, with a tragic gesture that
Duse would not have scorned, Anne
swept her chiffons out of the room.
The tragic pose changed quickly, how-
ever, to something rather patheticaPy
human, and Anne subsided in a miser-
able heap among the cushions of the
wide window seat.
Warren, left alone, mused wrathfully
upon the inconstancy of woman in
general and one in particular. He ar-
gued bitterly to himself that he had
never dreamed his hitherto "darling
Anne" could be so vixenish. Such a
ridiculous matter to create a teapot
tempest—as if all eligible bachelors
didn't give their particular chums a
dinner chance to wish them godspeed
upon the troubled sea of matrimony.
"I didn't kick a bit about her brides-
maids' luncheon," he muttered, resent-
fully, kicking spitefully at a fat has-
sock, "and I'm sure I wanted to see
her this afternoon, too!" \
Then he stopped and tried to ima-
gine a life with Anne left out of it-
dainty, dimpling Anne, who was sun-
shine most always, with just enough
prettily cloudy weather for effective
contrast. Yes, life without Anne was
utterly out of the question. He won-
dered miserably if she would "make
up." Well, poor unfortunate man
could only fail in such a venture. He
hastened into the hall in search of an
obliging maid, to whom to intrust his
mission. There he encountered the
miserable, sobbing heap on the wide
window seat.
"I won't do it, Anne!"—gathering
the fascinating bunch of misery into
his strong arms.
"Really, really, Bob!"
"Really, Anne!"
"Then you can—and must. I only
wantea to be sure, dearest, that you
would give it up for my sake."
Which last sentence only made Bob
Warren ponder all the more deeply
upon the inconstancy of woman in
general and one in particular. How-
ever, he didn't argue the matter, but
kissed Anne instead.
Matches
Three- millions of matches, accord-
ing to the statisticians, are turned
out every minute of the 24 hours of
the day by the civilized natives of tlie
earth. This is a consumption of sev-
en billions a year, and it is said that
half of them are burned in the United
States. Matches are cheap and very
insignificant compared with some oth-
er articles of wood, but the manufac-
turers complain that they are begin-
ning to find the raw material for their
product scarce. Only the choicest por-
tions of the best trees are suitable.
Sapwood, knotty or cross grained tim-
ber will not do. Instead of being a
by-product of other articles of manu-
facture, the little match is turned out
at hundreds of mills over the country
where the by-products are bulky ob-
jects like doors, sash, shingles, siding,
posts and cord wood. The pines, lin-
den, aspen, white cedar, poplar, birch
and willow are the most suitable
match timbers.
No Need for Anxiety.
Facetious Amateur Fisherman-—I
suppose the next thing, the flsh will
all be muzzled. <

bo need to worry. They won't bite.
