The Mantle Of Charity.

IL is the one garment the fashion Of
which never changes, writes Ruth Ash
more in Ladies' Homo Journal. The
years may so and come, aud yet she who
cloaks herself in this mantle is at once
happy herself and the giver of happi-
ness. In cut it never changes. II is al
ways large and full, so that il can en-
yolop those who are unhappy and give
them warmth and comfort. Like tho
cloak worn by the prince in the fairy
tale, IL Is invisible to all but those whose
eyes are made clear by faith. IL is the
garment that would like nay girls to
wear. II is true that much patience aud
much self denial are required before
this cloak is put ON, as it should be, for
all time, but once assumed the amount
Of JOY to be got from it and the happy
heartboats TO the wearers of it cannot
possibly be overestimated.
