The Honorable James Stoddard scarcely knew himself what impulse had taken him back to the old church. It was 15 years since he had left the city—it was 20 since he had been in- side the Second Presbyterian church. If in the interval he had thought of the low, flat, gray building it had been somewhat vaguely as the place where he had been married, and therefore, as the beginning of his material pros- perity. For the Honorable James had married a wealthy wife, and money be- + | gets money. It was almost an accident that he found himself stsanded in the little home city over Sunday. It was the fault of an unavoidable break in his ftinerary, not any desire to return to the scenes of his boyhocd. And when Judge Bennington, the local Demo- cratic leader, had discovered him at his hotel and invited Mm to Sunday evening dinner, the senator was ex- asperated. “Why can’t they let me alone?” he sald savagely to his wife. “Afraid I'd be lonely! There’s nothing I would like better than to be lonely, if I had the ' chance.” It was a surprise when Angela sug- gested the old church that morning. The, were Episcopalians now; the children had been baptized in that church. Stoddard himself rather liked the pomp and ostentation of the serv- ice, the perfection of the music, the | decorous luxury of the congregation; ' the softened lights soothed his nerves. ! He remembered the old church as where things spiritual were unembel- lished, where there was «only the aus- . tere beauty of long straight lines, of dull woodwork blending into the faded frescoes on the walls, as a place of battered hymn books and lop-sided foot cushions. Here had been no organ in his day—there was one now, he re- membered. Angela had sent them a ! check one year toward the fund. Thev drove to the church, and for fear of being ostentatiously late were as much too early. There was no usher, and after standing uncertainly in the aisle Stoddard led the way to lar features arrogant and unsmiling.

At Fredericksburg and Chancellors- ville the Army of the Potomac had been defeated with sickening loss; General Grant was before Vicksburg; Lee under cover of strategy, was mov- ing his army north through the Shen- andoah valley. “The president called for a hundred | » and twenty thousand more men—those who could be spared had gone before; there were left the fathers of families, the sons of widows. That morning the people had been awakened with the blast of bugles and the clanging of the church bells. Some of the men who sat in these pews were stained with clay from the earthworks where they had labored all night. And stand- | ing here”—the old man's voice shook —*“with the eyes of women and chil- dren on me, I read the president’s call for more men, and asked for volun- teers to follow me to the fleld.

And a small corsage | flower is one of the best means of | xivllng colar to a dark street frock or | suit. | There are bunches of tiny flowers | in brilliant red that are very good. There are bouquets comsisting of a rosebud, a few forget-me-nots and a] sprig or two of green that are good. Then therg are zinnias, nasturtiums, poppies and many other flowers in their own natural, rich coloring. The placing of the flower is rather important. It can be placed on the left shoulder with good effect. It looks well at the closing of a ruff or a close collar of velvet and fur. Ot course, the flower on an evening frock is usually part of the frock. That is to say, it is placed in position when the frock is made. However, a frock that needs a little refreshing can be brightened up with a new flower, and one of the newest places to put it is about half way down the back. ~— —— SPOPOPOFOPQSOPOASOIOP P OL | 2 » A Properly Fitted Shoe is One of the Joys of Life Come ts see us when in doubt.
