LATE THAN NEVER.

I%wouldn't marry the best man that
ever lived!" And she meant it, or,
what answers the same purpose. she
thought she meant it. After all, how
Jew OF us even really know what we
mean?
Il engaged myself once, when u girl,
and the simpleton thought he owned
me-. soon took that conceit out OF
him, and sent him away about his
business" The voice was now a little
sharp. What wonder, with so CALLING
a memory? sNoman shallevertyran-
nize owe me-never! What the mis-
chief do yousupposeisth the matter with
this sewing machine?"
SAnnoyed at you logic, most like
ly," said my friend, a bright young
matron as she threaded her needle.
''My husband is not a tyrant, Miss
Kent"
1t was quite evident, by the express
sion of the dressmaker's face that she
had formed her own opinion about my
trends husband, and was quite COM
petent to form and express al opinion
on any subject. Miss Kent was n lit
tie woman, fair as girl, and plumpasa
robin. She wasn't ashamed to own
that she was forty years old and an
old maid. She had earned her own
living most of her life and was proud
of it. Laziness was the one sin Miss
Kent could not forgive. She was a
good nurse. a faithfsl friend, and a
Jolly companion; but stroke her the
wrong way and you'd wish you hadn't
in much shorter time than it takes
me to write it. Her views on all sub
iects were strikingly original, and not
to be combatted.
"What are you going to do when
you arc old?" persisted the mistresso of
the establishment.
"What other folks do, l suppose"
"But you can't work forever"
