""fll-Vhy'~ She Broke Her Engagement HAVIN G been put through the third degree by her friends, the girl who had attained the dignity of a real heroine by breaking her engage- .ment explained why she did it. “It was because Henry was eifemi- :nate," she said. “I could never love an redeminate man, and of course I cohld not marry without love."v . “Of course not," chorused the small audience npprovingiy. “But I never had thought Henry et~ 'femlnate," added the tall girl cautious- ] . y“I never had either until after we became engaged," sighed the former .Iiancee. “You see, before I promised 'to marry him I. never paid any atten- tion to 'the little'habits and manner- isms~=3that show what a man really is. .But afteriwe became engaged. I began -*to keep my eyes ope'n'for all those little... ~zdetails. One night at the restaurant we had a lovely. dinner, and I felt sure. I was going to ‘be the happiest girlin' "the world, butâ€"well, it is all over now. 'The shock came when Henry paid the 'bill." ' “What was the matter?" asked the .tall girl. “Didn’t he tip the waiter?" “Yes,” said the former fiancee, “he behaved all right about that, but he-â€"-. he carried his money in a little fish :scale purse. That struck me as being the limit. To my mind there is only one really manly way for a. man to car- ry money, and that is to throw it .around loose in his trousers pockets so that when he wants a nickel he has to dig up change by the handful to get it. For bills. of course, I can stand one of those flat leather pocketbooks. They have a businesslike aspect and do not detract from a men’s dignity; but to see a big, strapping fellow who has the appearance of a real live man draw a dainty little purse from his pocket and fish around for a dime is too mu'ch'for me. In fact, the man who does it :seems almost like a woman, and I «couldn’t marry him. Can you blame me?” The disengaged girl eyed her com- ;panions appealingly. “Indeed, We cannot," was the unani- mous reply. “Loose change in the trousers pockets for us.”â€"-New York Press.

'hy New ion-Id lucid-flight,“ Cflfidlil - Sufl’or in England. Canadian butter suffers to some extent by comparison with that from New 'Zealand. Mr. J. A. Ruddick, Chief of the Dairy Division, Otta- wa, says the comparison is reallv not a fair one, because New Zea.- land butter is all grass butter, and it. arrives fresh in Great Britain during our winter season, so that any Canadian butter which comes into direct competition with it must necessarily be winter made or held summer stock. New Zealand butter. however, has a reputation in Eng- land for keeping' quality, and it. will be of interest to Canadians to learn how that reputation has been ac- quired. ' In the first place having- no natur- al ice, the majority of the creamer- ies are equipped with mechanical re-. frigerating machines. Their cream- ery refrigerators are kept fairly cold, but they have no refrigerator cars Such as we have. The secret of their success is that butter is ship- ped from the creamerics twice n week to cold storage, where it is immediately placed in a chamber at. ten degrees and .held there until forwarded to Englarld. It must be at least {our full days in store be. fore it is shipped, to give time for- thorough freezingr to the centre of the package. Although the butter it sometimes carried several hundred miles to the London steamer, its temperature must be below the freezing point of water, otherwise it will be refused and sent to cold storage to be reâ€"frozen. The temper- ature in the chambers of the steam- er is about 10 degrees. It is placed in the steamer. with the frozen mut- ton, svhich must be kept at a low temperature; It. is easy to underâ€" stand that butter handled in such a manner, although it is two months old when it reaches the market, will have more life in it than some 01 our butter which has been held two or three weeks in a creamery at a temperature of 40 to 50 degrees. If our creamerv owners and patrons expect to compete with the Danes, who are so close to the market. and with the New Zealanders, who em- ploy such low temperatures almost; from the day their butter is made. it is time they were making a more serious effort to improve matters e._t their end.
