why you should encourage and aid this
charity? Last summer nearly twenty
thousand babies were saved by the free
doctors maintained by this fund. Last
week-the fires week Of the present sum-

ailing children, some of them suffering
for food. and all were given the neces-

this hearty charity are self-empha-

HIS RAINBOW GODDESS.
The Singular Story of British M P's Infat-
uafiOn.

The general impression among Jim
Percivals friends was that he might
have done a good deal better for him
self than he did in his matrimonial
venture.
An M. p, with a safe seat and decid-
ed abilities; young. good-looking, we'll
connected; but having only limited
income, he was just the man who
should have married money, and this
is exactly what he had not done. He
met his wife In Paris during a holiday
trip She was a pretty. vivacious Irish
woman. lady-like and attractive; but
she had no fortune, and was Of no par
ticular family. The NJ. P.'s friends
shook their heads over the match, and
all felt convinced that before long he
would find out what a mistake he had
made.
There could be no doubt that under
the circumstances, his marriage was an
imprudent one. With his 1900 year,
Percivai had subsisted comfortably
enough as a bachelor. but as a married
NJ. p. he found that this income went
simply no way at all. To cut himself OFT
from society. and to live with his wife
In economical seclusion, was. OF course,
out of the question. 1t would have made
him unpopular with his constituents, as
we'll as with certain influential friends In
town, to whose good offices he looked
for securing some post In the Govern
ment when his party came back to
power. And as he had no profession. but
had launched himself for good or III
upon a parliamentary career. 1t would
have been madness in him TO prejudice
his chances Of political preferment.
The natural consequence followed. Per-
e.val got into debt. He consoled him
self. first of all. for outrunning the
constable by the consideration that his
party must soon return to power. and
that then he should be able to recoup

the looked FOR general election came no
nearer; and Perc.val began to feel very
lugubrious indeed. He already owed
nearly l,OOo-a crushing liability to a
man with small income and no capi-
tai; indeed. he did not attempt to dis
gu!se from himself that, unless some
thing very unexpected turned up. he
must soon be hopelessly insolvent. His
wife had long been urging immediate
and rigid retrenchment; but each time
she mentioned It, Perc.val shook his
head.
