WHEN YOU ARE A GUEST.

Ruth Ashmore, In Ladies' Home Journal.
II your visit is to be one OF sew
eral days or weeks you must make
your hostess, if she has not been
wise enough to state it in her invita-
tion, understand in your answer not
only exactly what time You will
arrive, but exactly the day and hour
when you will leave, and you VIII
show great wisdom IL, no matter
how much you are enjoying yourself,
you refuse to prolong your visit.
During your stay you must lind
everything pleasant that your hos
tess arranges for you. Ask no spec-
ial service Of q servant. You must
neither expect nor ask that your
laundry be done In the house, and
you must take great care not TIC
leave the dainty toilet-table or the
pretty room in disorder. After yor
return to your home you should
write a letter to the lady you have
been visiting, thanking her for al
the kindness she has shown you, and
sending your regards to the member
of her household.

We rave already had for study the
past two weeks, in revised order, the
account OF the birth OF John and Jesus.
We trust that all our readers will care
fully read and study the connecting
links in all these lessons so rs to make
as exhaustive study OF this book OF Luke
as possible from the iragmentary texts
given in our lessons.
We left Joseph and Mary and the
infant Jesus in Bethlehem at the man
ger birth place. The peasant shepherds
had gone back to their flocks, "glorify-
ing and praising Goo for all the things
they had heard and seem" The people
al Bethlehem wondered at the things
sold them by the shepherds" "but Mary
kept all these things and pondered them
10 her beart.' Luke then tells US Of the
circumcision and naming OF the child at
The end Of eight days, OF his presentation
t the temple, when the days Of Mary's
Qualification we're accomplished, and OF
the interview with Simeon and Anna.
After that he makes no further mention
OF the holy family till their return to
Eazarth. We learn from Matthew OF the
visit Of the Nlagi, the flight 10 Egg pit,
and the slaughter OF the innocents by
He! cd. Why Luke does not mention
these important events in the face OF his
Introductory misunderstanding had a
perfect understanding of these things

THE NEW COUPLE,

PROM THR ST. LOUIS DRY GOODS REpoErRE.
She was new and was constructed on the
latest modern plan,
But she lost her heart, like others, and, OF
course, twas lost to man;
30 at last the two were married, and they
started married life,
Az they thought, equipped and ready, well
prepared for any strife.
She was posted on his business quite as
thoroughly as he;
She had studied all the details, and. as any
one could see,
She could run his shop or office; and It also
seemed quite clear
She could act as his bookkeeper or could
serve as his cashier.
She could sell goods on commission. or could
buy on thirty days;
She was sharper than most merchants in al
proper business ways;
She could take" from his dictatlon, an !
dictate to others, too
There was nothing round the Office that she
really couldn't do.
So they thought they were well armored for
a life OF great success.
But the outcome OF their trial was a failure
more or less;
They are doomed to boarding houses, and
regretfully they roam,
Ror while they both run the office, neither
one can make q home.
