On the opposite side sat a neatly at

furtively at him from beneath her

the brow seemed trying to recall where
she had met him.

tives that had laid their hearts at her
feet at Monterey, she concluded to
end his misery by recognizing him. So,
turning with little start of recog-
milton, their eyes met, and she bowed

He seemed delighted, and changing
hisseat TO her side, he said: You are
very kind to remember me-"

She glanced at the card, a wave of

sncongruous as a faun on the avenue or

Mere denunciations against extrava-
gance do no good. From the time OF
isaiah there has been an uninterrupted
catana of denunciattoys. But the great
fact remains that wherever wealth is in
excess OF culture. there also there will
be silly and selfish extravaganza In
dress and living. Only when the men,
tai and moral qualities OF the rich are
In excess Of their money do they spend
wisely. Then they build colleges and
homes, and libraries: then they do
something to make the dreams OF all
well-wishers of humanity come true.
In this glorious capability lies all the
poetry OF wealth. all its great and gra-
cions power. all Its uncaicuiated bless
ings. As an evidence OF this fact, take
the one great idea that has permeated
the religious worid--Jew ana Christian
for 1000 years, the restoration OF the
Jews to Palestine. When this fact is
accomplished we are led TO hope for A
brighter day for all. and the accom-
p,ishzfent is quite within the power OF
company OF rich men. A clever
writer on this subject long ago pointed
out that any ordinary Immigration
agent would take a contract to trans
port all Hounsditch to Joppa. that
pssopcr companies could cover the bare
hills OF Judea with terraces OF olives
ana vines, as - done now at the RIVE
ra; that a proper architect could re-
store the temple OF Zion. and that thus.
