Reticence, in any sense of the word, had never been Grace's long suit. In fact, if there was a principal part to be taken in a con- versation, and Grace didn't take it, the failure was merely because she wasn't any- where around. From the time that she was an infant, and took the part of Cin- derella, while all the other fairies, to the time she led the' grand march with the most sought young man, and was leading lady in the class play, Grace had never known from a near view what the background looked like. And when she came back from her vacation and began to fulfill her social duties her friends sat back in amazement, for something had as- suredly happened to Grace, The whole set had begun to grow rather impatient for Grace to open up the season with her usual party. No one dreamed of taking from her the glory of the first function, for heretofore she had been go prompt, but time was flying and there had not been the ghost of an announcement. It grew so bad that finally one of the girls decided that she'd give a small luncheon and invite Grace and a few of Grace's most intimate friends and try to find the trouble. Grace arrived at the luncheon, and, after quietly greeting the girls, set- tled back in a chair in complete si- lence. “My, isn't it late in the season!” exclaimed Frances, adding with won- derful originality: *“How time does fly!” Then she went on: “Nearly two months have passed and nothing exciting has happened yet!" She paused and glanced covertly at Grace, But Grace made no reply, though she had leaned forward attentively as Frances spoke. “We ought to begin things pretty soon,” declared Viola, daringly, speak- ing almost directly to Grace, who thereupon turned' her whole attention to Viola, with so eager an expression that that young woman relapsed into silence in sheer astonishment. To have Grace listen to you in that in- tense way was disconcerting, to say , the least, and Viola was naturally a piece of the background, and much preferred its safe obscurity. Several others offered their conver- sational contributions to the general cause. But it was difficult to talk at Grace—to hint gently—when Grace herself sat with her eyes fastened un- blinkingly on the speaker, as thoughl her very soul thirsted for every spoken ward. “Don't you think” began Bessie, glancing around in a general sort of | way until her gaze fell on hmcesi rapt countenance, turned full upon | her. Then the carefully thought up . . sentence flew from her mind and she stopped. For some seconds every one sat still, each waiting for some one else to speak and all glancing wondering- ly at Grace. “Finally Grace spoke: “Do tell us about your vacation!” she urged Viola. Viola colored and stammered. Then she laughted. “What on earth is the matter?” she demanded of Grace. “You know I didn't go away at all —and if I had gone away it would be rather late to inquire so solicitously about a summer vacation two months after it was over.” “I should say so!” exclaimed \, chil.¢| won't talk at all! dren were mere | | preparation of | lands or worn single. There is no end Frances, gaining courage from the ordinarily timid Viola. | “Tell us what on earth is the mat. ter.” | Gygce swallowed hard. “—I—" she | began. __"Oh,_ please_let t me alone!" ' | 2000000t 00rtorItaos0000000 | she finished désperately it somewhat | rudely. “Are you going to give the flrstl party, or can 1?” inquired Bessie, with a show of impatience. Her impatience passed into amaze- ment as Grace )esumed her smile of interest and replied: “‘Oh, Bessie, you give such charming luncheons! Do give the first one, won't you?”’ Then it was that Sally rose to the occasion. ‘“For goodness’ sake!” she exclaimed, and standing before Grace, “I implore you to deliver us from this mystery. What on earth has hap- pened?”’ Grace wilted. “Oh, girls,” she said from the depths of her handkerchief, “you've got to help me. I—I didn't know I was so dreadful. But it's per- fect agony—and you make it so much harder. I've got to overcome myself —TI've got to forget myself—to be in- terested in every one else, and not to talk a bit around me. And here you When I want to follow, you all stand still for me to ‘lead. “You see, I'm—I'm—going to marry a minister, and you know how minis- ters’ wives have to be—and I'm learn- ing how. It'll be wonderful, the re- sult, he says—but oh, it's awful!” She wiped her eyes sheepishly and turned to_ Sally. “Sally, dear,” she begged tr'{m']\to smile, “won't you tell us—tel\*~w about that cunning nephew of yours?” LECTURE CHARTS AND LANTERN SLIDES Extenslion Department of Harvester Company Soon to Distribute Educa- tional Materlal on Agricultural Subjects for Use of Lecturers— Nominal Charge to Cover Cost of Shipment Will Be Made.

Lack of Sympathy. “Of course you sald that you would | leave public office poorer than when you entered it."” “Yes.
