Mrs Peppersqueezer heartily approved
OF this suggestion. she said that the
greatest danger to young girls, in IA city
place, arose from their social instincts.
This danger was specially great in the
case Of those who were engaged in domes-
tic employment and who We're, from the
very nature Of their duties more or less
Isolated. There was always great
temptation for such girls to make
acquaintance on the street Any plan
that would enable them to meet together
make one another's acquaintance, and
have some common interest would do a
work whose good results could not fail to
be far reaching.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
It matters little if dark and fair
Whole souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where heart fires
glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like the song OF
birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence glrds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is honest, brave and true,
Moment by moment the long day
through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro,
Down lowliest ways, if God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of ho1nely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may
guess.
