On w shelf there is a pewter caster with hal-cocked cruets, that looked aus if they didn't intend to %o home until morning; battered candlesticks that tried to look like truly brass and failed, and one cream jug of old-timey bronze luster with a wreath of pink roses around lts potty waist and a utifully glazed hundle—cracked. Its tag, saffron with age, told the world that it was mark. ed down t s only"— of worth $3 this irt—unles: of some past. To the woman who was looking at it from the pavement, came a memory of another long-ago bronze-luster jug that stood on a big silver t the head of a table nlong with ' that came m England when this country call her mother.

The ancient man lumbered to his feet with the slowness that comes from misery in the jints; then, with most affable courtesy, removed his hat and pointed to a vessel at a whart end: “That pungy you see this side of thy tother one, just got up this mawnin' at sun-up loaded with oysh- tera fum St. Patrick's Bay, suh— p'vided you ain't scared to eat oysh- ters in Apil.” The man from Baltimore, humor- ously interested in the protest, chuckled with the friendly heartiness that betokens the old Marylander for his colored brother, who used to be his “uncle” in days forever gone. “My soul and bedy, man, don't you know you can eat oysters in all months with an R in them—an there's an R In April, you know." The anclent one, garrulously pleased, and still holding hat in hand, respond- ed to the challenge “Yes, suh, I knows theys an ah in | Apil, but it means Ah no, for me— | the wevver's too warm, an’ makes a | | oyshter too sof'-like an' squashy— | Thanky, sub, I was jes' waiting heah | for my sonny law to gimme the| | makins' for my pipe, suh." “Good son-in-law, have you?" | “Best agoln’, suh—Edgvcated at | Howard Unyvuaity an’ got a fine job | with a fish fum down here—I lives with him an' he brings me down an’ takes me back so's I can shake a foot | doin’ little odds an' ends—He eats oyshters in Apil, but I's afeared to.” “Well, I'm sorry I can't take your advice, but I've got to have another mess of oysters—and if you will come along and fix me up with that pungy, | there will be a little something in it | for you." So the ancient one shook {a foot, and the deal was made. Not much to tell about. of course but the Baltimore visitor got such an honest chuckle out of his discovery of “a man for whom April had no R,” that it is passed on because—oh, be- cause there wouldn't be much doing for most of us, if it wasn't for the small things of life. . . Southern Market Studied. Under the direction of the Domes The National Board announces that the 1926 biennial convention of the Young Women's Christlan Associa tions of the United States will be held in Milwaukee. This city has been chosen not alone for its accommoda- tions, but as the geographical center of the American Y. W. C. A. member- ship.
