Anything less than a fizt repudiation binding all party representatives in the Senate will carry a measure of hope. The real attitude of the parties must be judged as much by the candidate as by the platform, Nomination of a “bitter-ender” would compro- mise either party. Election of a “‘bitter-ender” would be worse than flat repudiation. ‘ ; We should have no League support from a fifty. fifty Government. There could be no more destructive “reserva. tion” than a hostile President. Is IT TAUGHT?

Lady Mildred Eldridge was an ec- centric and rich widow with one baby ' datighter, Beatrice, Beatrice was her mother’s sole heiress, and was destined to vast | wealth and high social position. Her mother feared these prospects might spoil the child's nature, And she . sought for a way to prevent it. ¢ The problem found a queer solu- tion when Beatrice was barely two years Old. At that time Lady Mildreg adopted another little girl, the #1 age ae her own daug! The adopted child was Polly Monu- ment, daughter of former servant’ of Lady Mildred’s. : The eccentric widow brought be? the, two girls as sisters, not tell ther of them which one was ice, the id which one was Polly, the rvant’s child, She called them “Violet and “Vai- entine,” and treated them just alike,’ giving each of them all possible ed- vantages. And thus the two grew into beautiful young woman! " - Meantime Lady Mildred had edu- cated Polly’s brother, Claude, and had enabled him to become a la The young man was not ashame his humble origin, but continued to live with his numerous family of day~ workers, brothers and sisters. ‘When the two girls were twenty years old, Lady Mildred took both to call on Polly's family in Oy , humble and crowded home they, af .! occupied, Violet shrank with horror from meeting the family. She troubled lest she herself should happen to be “the sister of those di ful people,” as she called them. ‘ But Valentine took quite another view of the matter. If she were, Polly then her place was with her own family. She said so to Lady, Mildred. And she asked leave to live with them for a while. Lady Mildred consented. And Val- entine took up her in the, crowded home, so different front her own lifelong surroundings. She set about making the family happy comfortable and sharing their work and adapting herself to their life. In this way she and Claude were thrown much into each others ciety. And they grew to appreciate each other's splendid qualities. Then Valentine stumbled upon evi-, dence which proved she was not Polly, but Beatrice. Yet she stayed on for months longer with Polly’ family, still helping them and seeing more and more of Claude. In course of time she and Claude fell overwhelmingly in love with each other. And, with Lady Mildred’ final consent, they were married. The heiress and the man of fhe. people were ideally happy in their, wedded life, both being wise enough, to realize that mere rank and wealth; 3 . s were no obstacles against such ve Srertes : as theirs. “UNCOMMON SENSE Ten-Minute Studies|| of New York City’s FROM EVENING WORLD READERS | What kind. of letter do you find most readable?
