Delightful Evening.
20, wad some power the giftie gle us
To see oursels as ithers see U.S."
So wished Burns. but just suppose
others saw us as we really are. What
unlimited hot water we should be in
then. to be sure. Imagine some mis-
c~hief-loving spirit being enabled to
drag out the cold and naked truth from
under the wordy draperies with which
we seek to envelope and disguise her
angular proportions. In such a case
you would receive a little Christmas
gift, accompanied by a prettily worded
note Of friendly devotion, and between
the lines you would read these blood
curdling words: II suppose have got
to send o something; l only paid so
cents for this but you don't know but
what it cost g." Or Mrs. Smith sends
you a graceful little note begging you
to come over informally tomorrow

friends. and beneath it you read this
cold-bloOded message, "Mr. Brown has
disappointed me at the last minute,
n l have got to get somebody to
make up the set. You are the only onA
l can think of who plays"
This idea Of the face being the mir,
ror OF the SOUL" is. in point of fact,
more literal than poetic; but It is a mir
ror that reflects other mems souls rath>
er than our own. We give to our faces
the expression we think is most desir,
ed by those who are looking, a most
unselfsh and painstakaing effort, sure
ly, but suppose this same spirit remov-
ing the coating of conventional quick
silver from the mirror, and allowing
the true t~nwardness" of our thoughts
to be revealed. A young man comes to
take leave Of his hostess at the close Of
a reception, and makes the familiar re-
marks, 80 sorry to tear myself away;
have had a delightful time with such
charming people," while his truth-as-
sorting face says to her. Thank heav-
en-, l can go at last! 1 have been, bored
to death! Such a lot of homely girls /
never saw! Or the hostess herself,
though she smilingly says all sorts OF
pretty things about the pleasure Of hav-
ing see them. yet her countenance
makes the awful statement: well I
am thankful it Is over with! am tired
to death standing here and trying to
think OF thiags to say to everybody,
and all the time keep smilin9!" Then
think OF the amount Of martyr-like en-
durance and heroism that would thus
be rendered unavailable. The girl who
goes to the opera wearing a pair of
new shoes, and though suffering In
quisitorial torture from them all the
evening, still. increasingly bestows up
on her escort beaming smiles and en-
tertaining remarks. and at the parting
sweetly assures him that the evening
has been one Of most Intense and un-
alleged delight.
