who has sympathy, who is honestly in
terested in other people, and who has
dainty ways and looks however plain the
Lord may have made her face. will please
those who meet her. and make those who
know her love her; and she is surely a

IA VOICE FROM ME CHIiRCH-

A lovely woman is q woman who, with
out artifice wins the love of those who
know her best the woman who has
strength and symmetry of personal char
acter; who follows d true and lofty ideal
with a firm will, and who adjusts herself
with grace to the sphere which becomes
her. She may be required to do what we
call outside work for her living and for
the support of those dependant upon her
but the womanly quality is so manifest
in all her movement and spirit that the de-
mands of business and society never mar
the gentleness, the hrmness, the purity
which are always associated in the mind
of wise men with the true ideal of woman

Mr.. Scot ID Not Abducted His
Wife, But She Had Voluntarily
Left Boston With Him, and is
Now Happy in the Prospect Of
Again Living With Him - The
Writ Dismissed.

New York, October Mrs. Lloyd
Mifiin Scott appeared in the Supreme
Court to-day on the arm of her husband
to answer to the writ of habeas corpus
secured by George A. Smythe, a Boston
lawyer, who charged that Scott and his
father, John c. Scott, a wealthy Phila-
delphia coal dealer, had abducted her
in Boston and was depriving her of her
liberty.
The couple were married in Glasgow,
Scotland. when young Scott was sent
abroad to study at Heidelberg Univer-
sity, but the husband secured a divorce
in Dakota, which, it developed to-day,
had since been set aside.
The return to the writ showed that
young Scott had found his wife in Bos-
ton; that there they had a complete
reconciliation and that the young wo-
man had freely accompanied her hus-
band to this city and was then in court.
He asked that the writ be dismissed
with costs, which was done by Judge
Beach.
