SHERLOCK HOLMES'S DAUGHTER.
Daisy Sherlock Holmes at twenty has already somewhat of her father's brilliant deductive quality. Thus she is enabled to offer many delightful surprises to her friends, though she did cause some disturhance the night she announced the pruniatnre engagement of the curate. "Why. Gladys." said Daisy the other morning: "I heard you were sick." "I was," laughed Gladys, tossing the hair nut of her eye.s; "I had to go to Aunty's faxm for three weeks. But Tin all right now." "Gladys!" Daisy retorted severely, "I never dreamed you could be such a fraud, Your fingers have become slighth r spatulatp. You can't quite shake off thai back-twitch from the waist up. You have still a newly-acquired dittle trick of screwing in your right eye. You'-ve been golfing hard. And you never even told mc you played golf!" "There was Cousin Ted," said Gladys lamely. •'I knew there -was Cousin Somebody," snapped Daisy. "You've begun to take care of yourself, for one thing. Your hair is softer than it was, and you've heaps more of it. That's not Love—it's iLvkuski. Your skin is velvety ajid clean for the first time. That's not convalescence—it's Valaze.
