Nor TO being builied out OF their
rights by children's nurses. Celeste,
leave the room. You have lied'to me. ="
This startling interruption came from
John Lorimer himself He had opened
the door softly, fearful of distnrbing his
wife, whom Celeste. five minutes be
fore, had represented as abed with no
decrease Of the neuralgia attack which
had rendered her invisible to all the
household, excepting herself, for two
days now.
"Liedi MONSIEUR
Eyes, lied"
"By madame's orders, monsieur"
with a shrug more insolent than any
worJis-
"What lie has she told you?" Nora
asked, laying down the pen she had
held suspended while listening b
Celeste.
She folded her hands and leaned back
YEARLY In her chair. II he must have
a scene, as well then as at any other
time.
"She told me you were abed-that
you were suffering"
Il have suffered acutely, in the last

'No, l don't think ever laid that
charge at your door"
He had seated himself in a chair ON
the other side Of the table from her. He
had wanted to take her In his arms at
the moment Celeste's abominable face
had disappeared She had repulsed him
gently, but Enthusiastically. He extended
one Of his long brown hands now and
laid 1t over hers, as it lay stretched out
upon the pile of papers before her
Without any petulant haste, she quietly
withdrew hers and locked it's fingers in
the gtrdle of her loose wrapper.
John looked bafhed and distressed
None of the Lorimer boys were adroit

concerted smile:

the same. Can't you think of anything

Smart :or Which had you
Rather be?

Recently a writer interviewed five
literary women, none of them dis
tinguished for their good looks, on
a subject of vital Importance. Each
woman il her own peculiar line has
a national reputation and could af-
ford to answer truly the question
put to her. The question was this:
(Which would you rather be, smart
or beautiful" Said No. l: "Beauti-
tul-because by the mere lifting of
the eyes beautiful woman can Or
der the world to her feet" Said
No. 2: "Beautiful-because beauty's
mantle is larger than charity's. 1t
covers social gaucheries,: ignorance
and any amount of stupidity" Said
No. 4: observation-disclosures fame,
fortune, adulation, lovely gifts, social
prominence, all come, to the woman
who is fair of face" Said No. 5:
beautiful. Beauty is gold to a
woman. A smart woman's fame
may not come to her until she is
dead, but beauty gets its tribute
now, even laureled heads turn away
from the smart woman to do rever-
ence to the one who is beautiful"
I'VE would lay wager that every
one OF these women were ugly. 1t is
the tendency of human nature to
crave that we have not got.-ED.l

A uafersnt Asa Better Asshsd-
liz is never wise TO bribe ehild 10

beth Robinson Seoyil In an article
on 1.-The Rewarding OF Children IN
che October Ladies' Home Journal.
There are many motives TO be ap
pealed To and We should be cautious
how we substitute lower for =
higher one. When bedtime comes
it is often struggle for the small
people TO 60 of pleasantly and
promptly. When we elders have TO
do things not at all more disagree
able 20 US, we indulge In some muir
murs-audible or otherwise-and a
good deal of self-pi,y. II is not to
be expected that our juniors will
take up their burdens with more
eheerfuln-ss than We do ourselves.
Yet as soon rs they are old enough
to understand anything they may be
greatly helped, or hindered, In do

of duty so there will be moments
when Charlie feels that his desire to
SIT up longer entirely overpOwers his
wish to obey, and he refuses. What
is to be done in this easel His
mother can probably induce him to
go to bed by means of a piece of
candy, or a promised pleasure, but
the next time the question arises he
will be less able to do right unaided
than he was at first. His mind will
naturally revert to the bride and he
will want another. A quiet talk,
gentle argument and persuasion.
impressing upon him that every one
has to do disagreeable things some
times. because they are right, will
usually prove effectual; if not it be-
comes a matter of obedience that
must be enforced even at the cost of
pain. If we can "nlist the will on
the side of right-doings, so that the
child shall conquer himself and yield
a willing obedience, we have accom-
plished much. Let US teach them
by every effort in our power that
virtue is its own reward.
