She was so different from the wom- en of his own family. His mother was a gracious gentlewoman, pensing her bounty, her time, unsel- fishly to others. From her he had drawn his ideal of the perfect woman.

She said she wanted me to know because my son was to marry Felicia, and she thought he ought to ! hear.” In the darkness Sinclair was tense. l“Well?" he demanded. “This woman knows a young girl | who used to go to school with Felicia. Her name s Mary. She is very poor, | 'and this winter she has bad the shab- biest clothes. And one day she met | Felicia in a downtown shop and Fe- (licla insisted that they should have hot chocolate together and over the cups they talked. The girl had such an awful cold, and now and then she shivered. Felicia spoke of it several times, and when at last they came out of the store, she sald, “Oh, you're not ' warm enough, take my muff—please,’ and she tlirust it into her hands. She Insisted on putting little Mary on the car, and just as she was bidding her 80odby, Felicia slipped off her beauti- tul fur collar and laid it around Mary’s neck. Then she ran away laughing, and little Mary had a note from her the next morning, saying that she was to keep the furs.” “But why,” Sinclair was on his feet, “why shouldn't she tell me?” “Ask her,” said his mother prompt- | ly, “Just as soon as dinner is over you must go to her.” “The dear,” said Sinclair. He sald to his sweetheart that night, “Could anyone but you have done such a lovely thing, Felicia?” “Oh,” she hid her face in her hands, “I was afrald to tell you.” “Afraid?” “I thought you'd think me—silly.” He looked down at her gravely. “Why should you think that?” “Because I know you don't like to have me extravagant—but—I—I couldn’t let little Mary go cold, Sin- clair.” The tears were streaming down her cheeks, and suddenly she was sobbing In his arms. “Why, Felicla, darling,” he said, “it was a beautiful thing to do—and I love you for it.” | ! “You Look Lovely in Your Red Fox Furs, Felicla.” shall buy furs! Sinclair, there are the lovellest ones—with long tafls and & big muft—and with my new blue suit—and my hat with the plume— you'll be proud of me.” “I'm proud of you now. It doesn't take fine feathers to make you a beautiful bird, Felicia.” But in his heart he was saying, “Why should she spend all that for furs?” He really thought she looked well enough in the old set of mink. And he wondered again what she would do, as his wife. But he forgot his forebodings for a time as she chatted of her trip. A week later, as they walked home from church together, he spld, “You look lovely in your red fox furs, Fe- Nela.” “Aren’t they dandy!” she de manded. As she walked by his side in all ber beauty, there were glances cast at her of which she was perfectly con- scious. “Isn’t it nice,” she said, glee- fully, “to have people think I leck well in my red fox?" “Yes, it's nice,” said Sinclair ab- sent-mindedly. He was thinking of the future. Would she be happy when there were no lovely things for to admire? He spoke to his mother about it that night. “I'm afraid I can't give |y, her the things she will want, mum- sle.” Nervy Miss Blank, The two girls just in front were dis- cussing, quite audibly, Miss Blank. Miss Blank, they said, found a valua- ble diamond ring at » reception last ‘winter, and never so much as put an advertisement in the papers about it. “She wears it all the time,” said one girl. “Ishouldn't think she'd have the nerve, would you?" “Mercy no!" answesed the other. “But, then, do anything. I found & pear! ring once, but, of course, I nev- er wore it." “Oh, did you really find one?" ex- claimed the first. “What was it like? ‘What did you do with: it? The other girl merely put her hand o her throat, where a pearl set as a pin held her dainty collar. “That's it,” she sald. And then they went on talking of how shockingly nervy Miss Blank is.

Just before the column reached the rallway station where they were to entrain the noisy cheer- ing of the crowd in the street caused a big bay mare ridden by a weather beaten sergeant to grow very restive and troublesome. She reared and plunged so that her rider was over beard to remark as he held her firm Iy with one hand and patted her neck with the other: “Be done, Lucy! Be done! A little more of this and you sha'n’t go with us at all. I'l leave you at home, I will.” As a Reault. “Progressive light is breaking in en China after all these centuries.” “Yes; as far as politics is concern- ed, the Sun is rising there.” Causes of Unhappiness. The worst kinds of unhappiness, as well as the greatest amount of it, come from our conduct to each other. If our conduct, therefore, were under the control of kindness, it would be nearly the opposite of what it is, and 80 the state of the world would be almost reversed. We are for the most part unhappy, because the world is an unkind world. But the world is only unkind for the lack of kindness in us units who compose it.—Frederick Wil lam Faber. “gate of a hundred sorrows," or ac- company Dante and Beatrice throngh the spheres of Paradise. — Henry Dwight Sedgwick in the Atlantic. Somnolent Egyptians. Egyptians can lie down and go to sleep anywhere. They look around until they find a particularly busy place in the street where there is ll patch of shade, wrap a dusty cloth I around their faces, curl up and peace- fully glide off into a dreamless sleep. In walking along the street one has to be careful of every splotch of shad- ow that he comes to for fear of step- ping on a native’s face. Even when, you do step on this usually sensitive ; part of the anatomy, they merely sit | up, yawn thankfully that you are a, medium-sized man and lazily turn over , on the other side. But these are the people that the papers are quoting as | | being in bloody revolt. The only dan- 1 ger of revolt Would be if some coun- try should comé along and pass a law prohibiting the use of all shady spots trom one till three. Then there would be trouble—the amount of bloodshed ' makes even the most uninterested shudder.—Homer Croy in Leslie's Weekly. ) ! i Tuberculosis Death Rate Lower. l The whole tuberculosis crusade, in which children are so largely the bene- ! ficiaries, would have been impossible without the use of rabbits and guinea pigs.
