simply to go into society, and the
feather boa is the token that you are
there for amusement and recreation
in evening g-dress, in fact and not
simply out to fetch beer or parafin oil,

The stern child ended her anecdote
with certain dramatic force that
seemed to dismiss Lilith.
''It seems 1 can be of no use to you" :"
she said, rising

real friendly pity. Wash that paynt

Lilith was on her way to the door.
The mournful sinner followed her, in
cidentally throwing the mouse through
the window as she passed.

The child's surprised, mild face
silenced her. She seemed SO utterly
unconscious of having given cause for
anger. AS she stood moment on the
threshold, the idea just occurred to her
that the child might have reason on
her side, but temper reasserted itself,
and she flung out of the room, stale
cakes and all.-Pall Mall Budget.
