cious offerings. the most charming ana pre-
cIous Of all her gifts was 1consd73 hersey-
A first presented to u sne L pc

lOveliness and purity. But a. man leii, until
he reached the barbarlsm Of the DARK ages.
he dragged his tenderer companion down Inc
rugged pathway Of his own rOugher nature
until he came 70 treat her not a. the equal
whom God had given him 70 love ana AonoI,
but as the subordinate whose only province Il
was 70 obey him.
5iraduallv. however. as centuries have
rolled around. that angelic being who nils
every place in our hearts with tender thoughts
OF mother sister and wife, Is ascending the
ladder Of progress and recognition until IL
does not seem afar of when she Will again

sinks a. We contemplate how very SLOW 4 the
