The mart OF old did not suffer more
than some people we have all known for
the sake Of Appearances. A large family.
poor and proud, living in q good house
and fashionable neighborhood. had their
reception days, and all through the cold
winter never had q fire in the furnace
excepting on those days. At other times
the family crowded into a small sitting
room on the second floor for warmth and
comfort, IL they were not in the gay
world. The paterfamilias of this estab-
ment had his chamber in the fourth
story Of the house, to whieh he always
retired after the 6 O'Clock dinner and
there worked till midnight. He once
said that he had earned 800, 600 in his
