income with which to keep the three in
comfort, but during the winter she is
the very busiest of the busy. She stays
an hour with Mrs. Glitter and quietly
corrects all grammatical mistakes that
she makes-mistakes that Mrs. Glitter
did not have time to think about when
she was working hard at the washtub
before Glitter made a fortune in oil.
Later in the day she shows Mrs. Snob
how to accept an invitation to a dinner
party and impresses upon her that she
must not sign note in the first per-
son, Mrs. Jacob Snob,' but that Cor
nelia Snob" represents her when she
does not appear in conjunction with
Mr. Jacob Snob, the Tammany politi-
clan. And so she goes on, first with this
one and then with that one, correcting
the mistaken speech and righting any
action of those who, as she politely puts
it, were too busy early in life to give
thought to the small courtesies." AS if
they weren't the great necessities. Miss
Tact is an important factor in life to-
day, and if she smiles a little sarcas-
tically when some of her customers
patroniZe her you cannot blame her, for
Miss Tact's people were gentlefolk
when her clientele were unknown.

she finds her own are a little lighter

she happens to be one OF the greatly
gifted by nature ones. There is an
eyebrow preparation used by the ladies
OF France that is very good. Its foun-

MISSIONARY
LIFE IN TAHITI.

|, up for two years in a Partisan con-
vent. It is no wonder the trip seems
terrible one to these two inexperienced
creatures. The mother superior is help
less amid all these bewildering foreign
sounds, and. to make matters worse,
the young sister, despite her Partisan
training, speaks but little French, for
she is an Irish girl, so that conversa-
ton between the two is out Of the
question.
I'VE have a great deal of work to do
in Tahiti" she says, but We are very
much hampered by lack of means. We
have to earn every penny ourselves.
There are IS sisters in the group and
more to come. while in the country dis
