HISTORY OF VISITING CARD

Bome authorities hold that the origin
of the visiting card lay in the circus*

d«ge to the heart of Aapada he sent
her a bouquet to which, tearful lee:
•he might not guess from, whom the
compliment proceeded, he caU'Med to
be attached a strip of wood wherein
his name was rut.
According to lJerturelli. who, airibug
other*. has been at much paint* to com
pile the history of the card. It is difli
cult to wiy whethw it was firm used
1b Greece or In China. However that
nay be, It seems to be an ascertained
fact that the visiting card did m
really obtain to any extent in Europe
until the time of Louis XIV. It
crossed tbo Pyrenees with Philip- of
Anjou when he was installed in the.
psJuce at Madrid, -and Louis himself'
was the cause of It* being introduced
Into the Netherlands.

Using Dogs in War.
Considering how obviously fitted
dogs are for polict work and cer
tain Btrvices in war it is curious that
more use h..a not been made of them
In modern times.
Of conr-e. now thnt hand to;hand
fighting is to nil inlonts anil purposes
extinct, dogs are uo longer formidable
In war, but for sentry duty or the
finding of wounded on the battlelield,
dogs—as wan shown during the Itus
•o-.lapacse war —can be of great
•en-ice.
The undents employed dogs ex
tensivt i> as eentrles So also did the
Bmpercr- Charles V and Philip, king
of Spain, while Napoleon urged Mar
mont to fast an dogs to stakes around
the walla of Alexandria to keep
guard
Dog penpes are very much more
•cute than thoso of human beings—
•specially the senses of scent and
hearing, which, of course, are Invalu
able for police work.

Enlightenment,
;{::Jnkil hovenr, occurred
in the form of
/r 7 J yy-rT, Cousin Lucy Stod
-1 \ / y dnrd, a vastly dlf
[/ ferent figure in
T/ [(f) her trim trap
pings, from Mar
cla in her neat work dress.
"A woman," said Lucy, in the com
placent way that always Irritated Mar
cla, "1B as old as she looks."
"I have always been too busy doing
useful and necessary work," acknowl
edged Marcla pointedly, "to bother (
much about my looks."
"But it Isn't necessary for you to do
so, Cousin Marcla; you might take life
as easy as 1 do, if you would. People
think it a pity that you have never !
married."
"I do not know why they should, es
pecially." Marcla's eyes flashed sud '
denly. "You have never married,
yourself, Lucy."
"But that Is because 1 have never
cared to do 80, dear. I have always* 1 *
had an abundance of suitors It has
been different with you, you know-
There did une to be talk that you and
Henry Howard would make a match of
It, but I never believed It. You are not
Henry's style."
"I never thought of such a thing au
marrying Hepry Howard—or anyone
else," denied Msrcia crisply.
"How fortunate lhat Is." Lucy spoke
with u malicious assumption of sym
pathy. "I may as well tell you," she
confessed, "that 1 have about decided
to accept Henry."
"To accept Henry?" Murcla set her
newly Iced cake perilously near tbe
edge of the table. "I did Hot know he
ever thought of you."
"No, I have never given him any en
couragement, but I have long known
what I could do If I would. It has not
been easy to decide among so many."
Marcla's sniff of disbelief paused un
noticed, "but the sight of Henry's lone
liness makes him seem worthy of the
sacrifice of my freedom. lam going to
send him a valentine as the most
graceful and romantic way of letting
him understand my nttltude."
A valentine! Marcla finished her
work as If in a dream.
Then, unexpectedly, she laughed out I
with unwonted gayety. "If one valen- 1
tine Is good, two ought to be better. I j
think I'll send Henry a vnlentlne my- I
self!"
Amazement filled the prosaic soul of '
Henry' Howard w hen he found the con* j
tents of the big envelope to be a val- ,
enllne As he considered It, his se- |
date, middle-aged heart bepan to warm
unaccountably.
"Now, that's real thoughtful of Lucy,
I'm sure. I haven't had a valentine in
so many years I'd forgotten how It
seenif d It is a line thing to keep one's
youth ns l.ucy has."
It was Into in the afternoon before |
he remembered to look at the other 1
letter he had received In the same \
mail After he hud read It. he sat for
a long time looking meditatively nt the
windows of the next house.
I believe I'll go over—she's never
asked me before to dine with her, and
Marcla Is a master cook. I —l believe
I'll tell her what I mean To do, too;
she's got a pretty sensible head, Mar- ;
cia lwis," _ J
If a woman Is no older than she
looks, Marcia had certainly lost a good
ten years of hor ape when she greeted
Henry Howard in hor Immaculate front
bull.
"Anil this," he said, "is what 1 have
been cheating myself out of for tho
last fifteen, years 1 find It rather lone
ly In my hip house, Marelir."
J.'Yes," answered Marcla demurely,
pouring the coffee
"I've been thinking lately that I
have been foolish to live alono so long.
Do you suppose anyone could bo In
duced to have an old fellow like me?"
"Oh. yes," Marcla smiled across tho
centerpiece.,
"Will you, Marcla?" He could hard
ly credit the fact that his ears heard
Henry, Howard asking any woman to
marry bini. -
The next instant he had gone round
the table and gathered her cold flngors
Into his warm, strong hands. "Why, I
love you, Marcia. I've wanted you all
the time and dtd not know it; would
you bfelieve a man could be so. foolish
and blind?"
"Yes." whispered Marcia, "I have
been, too, until today."
Upon this interesting tableau the
door opened unexpectedly, and Lucy
Stoddard stood transfixed. .
"Come in, I,ucy," called the man
heartily. "You shall be the first to con
gratulate me. It was your valentine
that set me thinking bow lonely I real
ly was. But I liked Marcia's valentine
best; painted hearts and printed
verses may be satisfactory to roman
tic young fellows, but nothing appeals
to us older fellows like a good din
ner!"
If ajiy look of chagrin clouded the
sprightly face in the doorway it waa
instantly concealed by an overwhelm
ing smile. "I knew all you needed waa
a little Jogging," she said, "te make
you the two happiest people In the
world."-'
