Today we are sitting around in the Nv

And that reminds the woman who is
Knitting lace to say this: Il am demo-

kindly feeling towards Mrs. Mckinley. You
know she is an invalid, and yet her peaull-
full white hands are never idle. They are

OF those who ind the path in life dlfhcult
And then, TOO, I have heard from 1r-end
of her great kindness and consideration
10 young woman who was SO crippled
that She only moved about in a chair All
life was viewed in this way, but this brave
soul was always cheerful. No matter now

gr-r I'll her grievOus state, forget that she
had a kind friend and a comfortable home
to come to If ever the world grew too hard
or her work as an artist became impossl-

II happened 10 be in washington one
rtri1a ,, fa for
a extremely happy; she had done picture
4 Of Maj Mckinley in pastels which salts
i fed her and she was going to send II 10
4 Mrs. Mckinley for a Christmas gift. In
answer TO il there came letter which
a made the invalid heart very happy, and
later on something else arrived that made
her life a bit easier, though TO be quite
honest She had never thought of any pay
men- for the picture. She simply longed
90 show IN the best way possible her
gratitude to a woman who had been more
than kind to her for she made her feel
that she always had a good friend. The
invalid artist? She win never paint an
DINER picture. A few months ago her
eyes We're closed forever, and the poor
81 little body has been given TO that earth
from which it came, but I am sure that
Whatever YOU may think your future will
De hers is free from pain and she is
happy"
After this I threaded five needles that
4 weren't needed, and everybody worked

mas our hearts have been touched. Then

near that those hOrrid white stockings
are coming into fashion again. For my
a part they never make me think of any
talng else but the pictures in the old
numbers of 'Punch'-low black slippers
without heels and having silk ties crossed
on the lnstep were worn. There is a
a eowdy look about a white stocking. A
