Women Cling to Home.


A visitor met an old lady who had known
better days. I'm on my way home, miss. f"
she said. PLEASE show me the way to the
gate. Father promised to send the carriage
1or me and thought he would meet me at
the house; but I'm sure he's waiting for me
at the gate. Father wouldn't forget" Ham

women OF the same class would keen some
Sefnblance OF home on very small means

OF their women folk and unaccustomed to
wait on themselves, often cease to struggle
when reduced to poverty and so pass to the
almshouse, Some time ago two aged women
OF tne cultured class were discovered living
ABOVE the shop of Jew in a poor little
street. The elder was too feeble to work
but the younger took work from the second
nand clothing shops of the neighborhood
In very hard times they lived on flour and
water. Their great dread was that a time
might come when the provider would be un-
abie to buy either fuel or flour and the aims

seek to do. He said that where, as in
ancient Greece, the people as mass
made the laws, the case was different;

carry them to Pueblo, aud from there by the
same method they expected to go to ItuerianO
