as Mr. Dye is not extremely stalwart
and liable to chip out of the game 'at
any time. As was intimated there if
nothing surprisingly beautiful about
Jfe. Dyer She does not impress one
as being possessed of sufficient attract-
iveness to beguile more than two men
into matrimony yet before the inter-
view was ended she exhibited seven
marriage licenses and two ceritficates
vrhich serve much the same purpose as
Jo abstracts of title where real estate
is transferred preserving tho lady's
identity The presence of the two cer-
tificates she explained by informing
i... .nllr that she had married two of
the deceased in Pennsylvania in which
state no license is required. In the
conversation the young m?n was given

in the lower part of the city are hxed

"Lunch should be a small cooling
miiet meal. It should not be hea

light enough to stay the craving until
the heavier meal in the evening.
"In this weather lunch should be
a cold meal. Nothing is better than
a of eoM sr.rins lamb with mint
sauce and salad dressed in the French
stvle. A leg cr a wing of a cold gray
goose or a bit of broiled goslin is
dainty and palatable. The Leavy
mtata such as beef and veal ought to
be avoided. They oveiburdtn the
stomach and render a man practic-
ally unfit for the afternoon work.
If any hot dish is eaten for lunch
it should be at tLe most a slice of
