When Mothers Are Busy.

The hours of the children in the kinder
gar.en are from 8 to II. This is the time
when the mothers are most busy about
their household affairs, and when the chill
dren can best be spared away from their
homes.
If the Hooper kindergarten shool should
be forced to close the first Of the year, as
may happen unless charitable friends pre-
vent. there will be many little heart sore
and the mothers will sigh for some place,
some haven of refuge, to which to send
their children, as they have been in the
habit of doing to this. Sunday school is
only once a week. and continues for a COM
paratively short time only. The kindergar-
ten is in session every day, and it's record
in Southwest Washington, as we'll as every
where it is known. is a remarkable one
With such a record it would hardly seem
POSSIBLE that those who can afford to do so
would allow 1t to be discontinued. If
mothers prayers and the uneXpressed
wishes Of little ones. who have few pleas
ures in this life and but little to amuse
them, count for anything. 1t seems certain
that the school will not be closed.

John Smith still makes the Sunday
night visits as regularly as in the olden
time. If he should miss one Sunday
nipht it would be understood at once
that he was i'll, or that some other good
and sufficient cause had prevented him
from being there on time. His hair is
gray, and there are wrinkles in his
face. The girl he expected to claim
as his bride is an old maid now, and
her once bright eyes are beginning to
lose the lustre of youth, but she is still
.Tm in her determination to remain
with her mother as long as her mother
lives. The engagement has never been
broken. The young man said he would
wait until her task at home was over,
and he has waited. The years seem
