"In my search for bits Of life which

word" said Caster. gently rotating

avidity on one that came = me In a
letter from a relative In a distant town.
/ may say by the way that don't APP

The town Is the one was born In:
and, set In a waste OF family affairs
like an oasis, the letter told about the
death OF a woman whom | remember.
I never made her acquaintance. No
one ever made her acquaintance. She
was a widow and lived with her
splnster daughter. and believe the
first man to enter their house was the
doctor who attended her in her last
illness. They kept a big and savage
dog for protection, and they rarely left
the little yard which surrounded the
house. All the work on the premises
they did themselves. even to cutting
the grass In summer.
They kept no servants, and yet they
we're not poor. The postman rarely
called. It was isolation complete and
apparently desired.
Il was informed by the letter that
the widow died last week. and Il seems
that she left instructions for a funeral.
One OF the local ministers was asked
to read the burial service. and my COR
respondent tells me that the daughter
was the only other attendant. except
the pallbearers Had she relatives at
all or friends anywhere do not
know.
THE pallbearers were her trades
men-ihe butcher. the baker. the
grocer and the coal dealer who had
supplied her wants.
Her tradesmen we're the pallbear-
ers." repeated Caster softly. and then
asked curiously: Would not BalEac
have handled that Well?"

I,or, r,s.arlrhrr of Love.

Paris, which is always doing some
thing extraordinary has devised the
ivory eye as love token. The em-
blem OF the engagement ring as a
pledge OF the union OF hearts Is sinking
into oblivion In the exchange Of eyes.
The engagement eye must be an exact
reproduction Of the Individual eye.
Every model must give his or her ar
tist at least three s.u.ugs to get the
right shade and the perfect expression.
Then the lover carries his swecthearts
eye around with him as a watchful
guard against evil.

Renew to God your thanks for the
church and its worship. And as you
recognize it's benefits and blessings see
to it that as a citizen and a Christian
you give it devotion and service.
If you ask me which Is the best
church I answer I cannot tell. If you
ask me which is the best system OF

answer the best system is the system
that cures. So 1 judge churches by
their fruits. Any church that minis

that inspires you to holy living, cult
waiting in your soul reverence for God
and love for man, is a true church OF
