the sleeves the thing. Many tricks OF
economy in their accomplishment are
possible, and here is one by which the
little lamp shade cape may be utilized.
Don't wear it, but cut off all the ruffies
and frills. II they are OF good color and
material, plan a house gown or go, or
reception dress and use these same ira
la-las for epaulette and umbrella tops to
the sleeves. This will give an idea to
the increase in the size OF sleeves; what
was enough to make the top or third

to make the necessary shoulder draping
for one sleeve. But out OF whole cape
there will be enough for pair.

Waiting For City friend With Three Jars
Of Isuttermiik.
Tho last passenger to leave the 4:30
train on tho Michigan Central railroad
after it drew to standstill one summer
afternoon was a little old woman in
black. A wisp of gray hair struggled
from under an old fashioned poke bon
net, AMI pair of kindly blne eyes
looked out from behind her steel trimmed
spectacles. lii one hand she carried
huge, shiny valise, the key Of which
was tied to the handle with strip OF
calico cloth. When she was part way up
the platform, she stopped. with trou-
bled look, and watched the baggagelnen
toll by with their loaded trucks. Pres
emily she dropped the valiso and opened
big black fan which was fastened to
her waist by velvet ribbon. After she
haG waited sotae time one Of the depot
uahors came along and asked If he could
be Of any service to her
why, thank you, / think not, =" she
answered. II am waiting for Dick Rob

Tho depot usher hurried on and paid
no moro attention to tho little cid wonl-
an. When ho camo back half hour
later, eho was still standing where be

with tho black fan. "IIas your fricno

No" sho answered. "His watch
must have boen slow"
ibid he expect you by this train?"
"Well. you 500, it's this way: Last

they were there they came over often to

Well, wo got friondly, and Sarah told
me lot of things about Chicago, and
that she couldn't by no manner OF

fore Dick went back be came around
and says Mrs. Bcggs, just tako run
up to Chicago next summer and visit
US. Let us know when you're coming,
and I'll meet you at the depot. And SC
I'm here, and I've got three Jars OF

Tho depot usher helped the little old
woman to seat in tho waiting room.

holp him much, because sho didn know

forget to let it go.

throng that crowded the stores that
night. But dainty Mrs Ca atherwood
found actual pleasure in mingling for
once with this good-natured strug-
Cling mass of unknown Christmas
shoppers.
1t was late before she reached her
home, and she was hastily opening her
various packages, and beginning to fl'
the little stocking-the first child's
stocking she had ever flled-when her
companion summoned her in alarm. The
child had been croupy all the evening,
she said, and was now rapidly grow
ing worse.
The labored breathing and little
flushed face frightened Mrs. Gather
wood, and, late as it was, she sent at
once for her physician. Almost i'm
mediately word was brought back to
her that the old doctor had gone away
to spend Christmas, and that DR.. Har.
mon was to fill 4is place in case of
need. But as DR.. Harmon lived quite
at the other end of the town, the mes
senger had returned to know if she
wished him summoned that night.
One look at the suffering child aud
herself was ended with the quick an
swer: yes; ask him to come at once. I"
And now at midnight she was anx-
iously awaiting the arrival of the man
she most dreaded and disliked
The young physician who stood so
high in his profession, was the one
who had been too honest and sincere
ever to fiatter her. He had resolutely
kept aloOf from her, even though she
had once stopped SO far as to try to
win attention from him.
But she had never forgotten the
quiet scorn of the condemnation he
had once uttered in her hearing of the
frivolous lives of Eociety women and
their ill-cOnsidered charities which so
often did more harm than good.
She had chosen to give personal
application to his words, and to ignore
him after that whenever they chanced
to meet: but nevertheless his words
had rankied in her, and had sown the
seeds of discOntentat her own unsatis-
flying life.
At last he was at her side. His quick
glance had instantly taken ia all the
details of the room; the suffering child,
the beautiful, anxious woman, the lit
tie cast-off garments, the new ones
still unfolded on chair, the tiny half
filled stocking, and scattered toys, and
it was not hard for his practised eye
to read the sweet and pathetic story
that they told.
Together they bent above the little
sufferer, and together they worked
over her, fighting for her life. 1t was
sharp hand-to-hand struggle with

course; but if she should not be-al-
though l love you-I could never coun-
tenance such a thing. You must
choose between the child md me-"
Her eyes were still fixed upon him,
seriously, ponderingly; then she
looked down at the child sleeping now
upon her breast. Il am afraid she
will be claimed" she said, very quiet
ly, but in any case, Mr.. Whitney, l
have made my choice. thank you for
the honor You have done me, but
gooi night"
The child soon wakened, and Mrs.
Catherwood, receiving ready sympathy
and help from her kind old companion
friend, fed her wee guest her supper,
and tried 10 learn her name. But the
little one only laughed and stretched
ont her chubby hands TO the blaze.
Baby" she said, and pity, pity"
as the soft coal fame fared bright.
Then Mrs. CatherwOod, with gentle
unaccustomeu hands, gave her a warm
refreshing bath before the fire, and
had just sung her to sleep and laid her
in her own soft bed, when word was
brought that some one was waiting be-
low to see her.
Descending with-a new and almost
nervous dread, Mrs. Catherwood found
an officer with a woman who had come
for the missing child. Not one of her
own, the woman explained, but the
child of young coRple-strangers in
the town, who had lived in the house
with her, and had died within few
days of one another the month before.
She had taken the child herself then,
because, poor little soul! there had
been no one else to care for her.
Let me keep her." said Mrs. Gather
wood, ''and / will bring her up as if
she were my own"
So il was settled. And then, with
new sweet feeling of tenderness in her
heart, Mrs. Catherwood left the sleep
ing little ogse in her companions care,
and went out, accompanied by her
maid, TO buy some little necessary gar
ments and toys for her Christmas
treasure.

But was he the man TO help her up
ward to the broader, nobler life for
which she yearned, and which she
found SO hard to reach? Alas, she
knew too well that all her higher as
pirations would soon wither in his
keeping; and yet-it was so sweet to
be loved, and She was so alone!
a wilder gust of wind came rushing
down upon her, and almost took her
of her feet. She caught low-hang-
ing branch to steady herself, and at
that moment she saw a tiny barehead-
ed child, hurrying, stumbling, actually
blowing toward her, a helpless thing
in the power of the boisterous blast.
Mrs. Catherwood put cut her arms,
as, frightened and exhausted, the little
one dropped at her very feet. In an in
slant Mrs. Catherwood was kneeling
over her. Unfastening her costly furs,
she wrapped them around the little
shivering form, and tied a handkcr.
chief over the wind-tossed curls.
That the child had strayed away and
was lost was as evident as that she
was perishing with cold, and without
an instant's hesitation, Mrs. Gather
wood lifted her up and hastcned upon
her way.
This piercing cold which her warm
furs had before kept from herunow
stunG her kneenly, and her arms ached
under their unaccustomed burden; but
the words: zone of these little ones
sin My name"-''ye have done il unto
Me"-seemed ringing in her ears, and
awakened a new warm throbbing in
her heart.
She hastily gained the town and
found her way TO the nearest chemists,
where the child was soon revived.
Then, having sent a description OF her
to the police, Mrs. Catherwood carried
the child away TO her home, where she
found her impatient suitor awaiting
her.
"At last"' he exclaimed. Then catch
ing sight of furry bundle in her
arms, he added: "In the name of COM
mon sense, what have you there?"
Mrs. Catherwoods lovely eyes were
very bright, and there was an unusual
flush upon her cheeks.
