he had thought Phyllis was marrying
George Spander. his brOther-in-law's

For about five minutes the place
would hardly hold him, and his anger
was such that he took no means to re-

However, by the time he had rOared

ity of his further opposition and resent

occasions tackled his daughter on the
subject, but she has always managed
most skillfully to evade the question.
and as she and her husband are the
happiest couple imaginable, and
George is not such a bad chap after
nll," Mr. Monrough has long since
ceased to inquire into it and has also.

CLICK, click, click,
And the shirt waist wavelets SHINE.
Quick-witted to catch the thought.
To correct each grammatical lapse
Not sentimentally taught
By Balzac; but better, pefhaps
Oick, click, click,
Al eager at work ~ 1t play.
Click, click, click,
The ahset rolls MP and away.
Els and SIS and Y's,

Picking them up with her tWinkling
eyes,
And rafting them OF ths keya
Write, write. write,
All womanly work elsvatsD;
Write, write, write,
Esteem on faithfulness waits.
Oh, women with brothers dear.
Oh, women with husbands and sonsl
Heed not their sneers
At your sisters and peers.
Nor the talk Of the morbid ones.
Right! right! right!
A just Independence to gain.
And right! righti righti
Be It yours to help her attain.
