HAD THE TIME OF HER LIFE

Woman in Sanitarium for Alcoholics Found Herself the Pet of All the Inmates.

"No woman knows what it means to be truly popular until she has dined at an alcoholic cure institute,” a woman said. “I acknowledge that that is about the last place on earth to go to seek popularity, but a colorless woman, who unfortunately has been denied popularity elsewhere is bound to find it at the institute. I did. I was not sent up as an alcoholic. 1 had a relative who had been persuaded to take the cure. As I was the only person on earth who had stuck to him through thick and thin, he urged me to see him through the institute ordeal. "I went I ate there with him. There were 14 other patients at the table, all men. The first two days the ordeal of eating three meals a day with 15 ‘dips' Bitting to the right, to the left, and tn front of mo nearly drove me crazy, but for the sake of my relative I stuck it out "Then I began to bo popular. I woo

the first woman who had dined at that table. The men braced up in my honor. They couldn’t do enough for me. At the end of the first week I was having the time of my life, socially considered. Imagine what it means for a woman whp has never been pestered by the attentions of men suddenly to find 15 men, well bred, well educated, most of them, striving to outdo each other in entertaining her, and not another woman In the limelight It was simply great."

Armenian.

The commemoration of the fiftieth centenary of the Armenian alphabet will remind those wbo know their "Romany Rye” of Belle’s remark, when the author tried to teach her Armenian, that it sounded more like the language of horses than of Imman beings. Armenian piles up the consonants terribly; thus, the word for “to kindle" is “prrigthsnel." An' Indeterminate vowel sound helps such aocumulations out; but even so Armenian is not a beautiful language. Few, as Sir Charles EMot tv, win think it pretty to call a girl “aghchlg," or one's parents "dottoghkh." <
