respondent Of the London Telegraph
says that In the upper ranks of society
the vegetable grains are discarded and
their place supplied by paper confetti.

stamped in all colors. They are soft

upon the brides shoulders like the
gentle rain from heaven without wet

can do no harm either to hat, clothes

Tor v G when boys at the district
school, not n of them would play
with or in any way notice a girl. AS q
family, they were Industrious, econom-
ical and wel-to-do. Work. work, work
was the order of the day, and save,
save, save vas the keynote of their
lives. If there was one among them
more of a hustler than the others it
was the eldest son, Jack, and IL one
more than another of the sons was
ayerse to society, Ii was Jack.
II was on Thanksgiving morning
that our story opens, but we doubt IL
any of the Kingsleys had given a
Thought TO the day. In their busy, I'M
sentimental existence there had been
no account made of the days that
come like pleasant mile stones along
The way. There vas no Thanksgiving
cheer, or Christmas gifts; New Year
meant nothing to them but a change
OF date. and Easter was only Sunday,
the day OF rest, at this farm house.
In the East, long years before, Mr..
n Mrs. Kingsley had been church
members and doubtless still claimed
20 be, but for years they had only at
tended services when some neighbor
was buried. They had come West
when the country was new and the
children babies. There was no place
70 &c ut first, and by the time churches
and social privileges had come to
chem, they did not want them. The
boys never inclined to mix much with
other people, though plenty of nice
girls in the neighborhood would have
risked their chances Of happiness in
their keeping, for morally they were
without reproach.
III any n could be said to rise first
IN a family where all were up betimes,
1t was this same Jack, whose heavy
football oftimas Weakened the house.
On this Thanksgiving morning he was
out even earlier than usual, for il was
corn hussing time, and in one way
and another they had been hindered

Into he cold. early light, he was sur
prised TO run against a great willow
basket.

natured man: but 1t Is usually true
that in families where the little re-
hnements 9nd courtesies are omitted,

mp surly and irritable in manner, even
when. in reality, there is no anger In
their hearts.
With the half-formed thought In
mind that some neighbor had left it
after the family had retired, he lifted
che lid.
"Jupiter.w was the one word that
escaped his liDs. and then he simply
stared. But 1t was not Jupiter or any
other celestial body that lay there so
snugly in the basket, but a very lovely
terrestrial body--in other words, a
beautiful babe smiled up into his face.
