Various circumstances made it pok- sible for Edward McCoy to have the day to himself, and he took his bride of the previous month to visit his own family in the suburbs of the same town. That family consisted of fath ef, mother and sister Mary besides himself. Ned McCoy and his sister, Molly had been the closest of chums until his marriage took place. His bride was well known to them all, and valuable as a friend, but though Lena Baldwin was a cherished friend, she not of their communion, and were devoted Catholics. Mr. and . McCoy loved Ned too well to re- fuse a welcome to his chosen wife, and soon adjusted themselves to the new condition of things, however deeply they might feel about it for Lena was evidently disposed to be a dutiful daughter to them, and a wor- thy helpmeet for their dear boy. But they were married by her own pastor, and to Mollie this was too grievous an offence to be condoned by any memo- ry of previous friendship or sisterly affection. Ned had always been proudly fond of his sister, and he felt the estrangement with more than or- dinary keenness. s Moilie was just the type of Irish beauty which we all admire, with clear complexion, black hair and blue eves shaded by long curling black lashes.| Her roguish glance had subdued more hearts than one, but still she seemed fonder of Ned than of all her beaux. They often said there was no chance for them while Ned remained single, secretly rejoiced when Ned suc- mbed to the charms of Lena Bald- win, Protestant though she were. She had been employed in the office of the store where Ned was a clerk, and had won his love and returned it. Lena must a siight strain _of Swedish in her veins. Her ralzht hair and rosy checks indicated though her family had have had blood light it, been in the States for more than one generation. The McCoys' father and mother were born in Ireland, and still bore a strong affection for the old country. So on this day Ned Carried with him pot of flourishing shamrock to cheer his mother’s heart and let her know he had not forgotten her love for St. Patrick’s day. lLena was a skillful k, and took a fine cake for her co tion to the day's feast. But Mol s not to be appeased by any such and soon left them for the day, septing the invitation of one of her many admirers to spend the holiday elsewhere. Saddened though they were by Mol- e's condu the day was happi- 1y spent at the old home. Ned's sad- \ was mingled with vexation at ie's actions, and he openly de- unced her foolishness as he called I-SENDAY MORNING TALK | THE RAW MATERIAL OF HAPPI- NESS. i Former President Ellot tells the story of a poor woman who, in her | last sickness, was visited by her min- The good man desiring to bring houghts to a religious focus, be- by asking what chief blessings she could recall during her long and not too easy life.

In all such family quarrels, there is some one between the two disaf- fected parties, on whom the sorrow falls heaviest, some one who is dear to both sides, and who loves both fondly For the sake of such, those who disagree may well overlook their grievances and strive for peace and friendship. Not that Lena was in fault, for she was ready to make all overtures possible, for Ned's sake, and really loved Molly as much as ever, but Mollie was not willing to meet her even half-way She never came to their home, though repeatedly invited, nor recognized them in any way, till at last they accepted her decision as final, and let her severely alone. After a time news came to Ned and his wife of Mollie's marriage, and a fine wedding they had, but notwith- standing the entreaties of her parents, the brother and his wife were not in- vited to join the wedding guests, in fact were requested not to be pres- ent. “T did not go to their wedding, and they need not come to mine,” an- nounced Mollie. “It's heard-hearted yvou are” re proved her mother, “and some d yowll be sorry for it. See if vou're not, the sooner the better, say 1.” To Lena and Ned came the joy of children, one boy and one girl. Grand- father and Grandmother MecCoy could not sufficiently show their Tove for the children who were named for them, and already returned the affection be- stowed on them. But no word came from Moille. They knew she lived not far from them, and that she seem- ed happy and well-content, but that was all, Then came news of Mollie's mother- hood, and of days in the vear, it was on Bt Patrick's day. Here parents were delighted at the coincidence, and rejoiced with their daughter, and in- sisted that the new little granddaugh- ter should be called Patricia in mem- ory of the day. Soon afterward the story came for the third time to Ned's home. An anxious time followed for Ned and his parents. Lena's life was dispaired of, but at Jast she began to recover her former health and strength. The ba- by was called Mollie, in remembrance of old times. She was a frail little mortal, not the bouncing child that her brother and slster had each proven themselves to be One day when Ned returned home from his work, to surprise, who should be there but sister Molile. She greeted him with the old-time loving smile, and roguish glance. “You, Mollle," he exclaimed, “What brought you here? “The babies haye brought me,” was Mollie's reply. “I'm a mother now myself, and it has made me feel differently towards other mothers.

AN IDLER LETTERS TO THE EDITOR When Women Bicker. Mr. Editor: I did not go to the town hall on Monday night to hear the stl- ver-tongued orators, being too pieas- antly (2nd, as I think, too profitably) engaged at home with my new jimmy pipe and the latest Scientific American. As a mere man, with an amused toi- eration for the idiosyncrasies of all womenkind, however, I was amused at the indignation displaved by “Justice” in the letter in yesterday’s Bulletin re- garding the little boys who were ped- dling anti literature in the courthouse lobby after the lecture was over. Seems to me, only a few weeks ago. there was considerable criticism over the fact that a small, half frozen, thoroughly ashamed looking urchin was kept parading up and down before | the store where an anti-sffrage food | sale ‘was In progress. This boy car- | ried on his back a sandwich board bearing that antiquated suffrage slo- gan about “woman’s sphere,” etc., and minute. Why, then, tiis suffrage hue and cry when the antis retaliated a trifle? It certainly less harmful to one's health to hand out pamphlets in a warm, heated lobby than to walk the streets in the snow and rain, like & miniature sandwich man. Come, now!
