 "Of course, ma," he answered, ten- derly, thinking it was some new pat ent medicine dear to the heart of wom- an. fI'll tell the clerk to give you what money you want, as l shall be out"
 Imagine his surprise to find his wife had drawn s70. If he had not been in good and regular standing" he might have uttered some strong words. As it was, he spoke in a tone of voice that would have frightened a sneak thief: Ma, what could you mean by taking S70?"
 "That was enough for today" she said. calmly, though it will take more when the making of my dress is paid for. I got my cloak at a bargain, and a new dress, and bonnet and shoes. You said to get what I needed. Haven't l earned that much, dear%
 "Of course, ma," he said, softening. "Dut you never cared before for look ing we'll"

enough to do it." then, not being very "new woman," she put her head down, and sobbed aloud. Those tears led to a long talk that put matters on a different footing with the hus- band and wife, and this much of the conversation came to the girls as they went through the hall: ''I can't help thinking, dear, you are to blame for the girls being so selfish and lazy" But the father got this back, for later he overheard this interesting remark: ''It's mas sweet disposition that has made pa so selfish and neglectful. Think of ma dismissing Lizzie and get ting girl who can cook! am going to turn over a new leaf myself. 1 wonder ma has not sunk under such work and care"
 Of course the new leaf got crumpled sometimes. The children clamored for their devoted slave, and the girls grumbled because they had to take their part in the household care, and

family of the pleasure of taking care of you and showing their gratitude!
 Mrs. Mason was used to her friend s plain speaking, but this time it sank deep into her heart. When she reached her own home she felt for a moment that the boisterous welcome of the children compensated for the work and care they constantly occa- stoned. MT. Mason came in, and his wife turned patient, smiling face to- wards him.
 Ma, can't you watch the gas more closely? It was 50 cents more this month. What, girls, did you get your new waists made out? Your grand mother used to do all the sewing, and did not have some one to do her work either. Ma, I brought oysters. Can't you cook them? We like your soup better than Lizzie's."
 Mrs. Mason was glad to put down the two heavy children who were sit ting on her lap and escape to the

kitchen before she was tempted to re- mind him that his mother had not so much as seen a waist such as his daughtersconsiderednecessary. Yes" she thought, with a smile, as she watched the soup, ''there will be d new leaf turned over that will make a new book for some of us."
 Mrs. Mason ate her supper in a thoughtful mood, hardly noticing her husbands remarks about Tommy. Mir. Mason was a devoted father, and one way in which he expressed his affec- ton was by having his wife put in half of her time pouring out medi- cine for the children. It was always some kind of a tea or plaster, or day from school, for the children, and the good man never dreamed that he might as we'll have risked the children without constant nursing as taken the chances in his wife of heart failure from exhaustion. Tommy was slight ly affected with cold in his head, so the fond father began:
 "Ma, you must soak Tommy's feet, and tie up his throat, and make him some onion sirup, and put poultice on his chest. You've let him take cold"-not noticing how much health

always gives the tickets to the rest of us"
 Lizzie, you'll have to arrange to look after the children an hour each afternoon, for I shall lie down then, Mrs. Mason said to her maid the next day.
 .'I can't be bothered with young uns," was the answer.
 "Very well" was said in such firm tone that the young girl relented.
 They all noticed that the mother oc- casionally read in the daytime thing Mir. Mason had not been brought up to in his New England home, but which was common enough in Mrs. Mason's early days.
 The fourth day MT. Mason could not contain himself: q can't see but you are looking better than usual, ma, though you don't act as if you were well. I had thought to send up the doctor to-day. Is it a tonic you needs"

and Carrie to help Lizzie," was the answer that sent her husband to the front.
 Imagine the surprise of the family when the mother came in, and they sat down to breakfast, in her com pany wrapper, with bright smile on her face.
 fIs your headache betters We didn't mean to get up for breakfast, !" said Carrie.
 Mrs Mason smiled little roguishly as she answered.: 'I may not always be up after this, so shall depend on you to help Lizzie, and on Mary to dress the children"
 MT. Mason looked at his wife to see if she were out of her mind, but she looked very much composed.
 There's a concert tonight I want to attend, John," she said, sweetly, after sitting by the fire so long that the girls decided, if the house were cleaned up, they would have to do it.
 "But the money'-began tho hus-. band.
 "Oh, I have it from the meat money" was the smiling reply. "I need music just now more than meat"
 "Take her, pa" cried Mary. "She

The Christmas Atmosphere.

Getting ready for Christmas makes these weeks in December full of pleas ant labors and anticipations. The ma iority of people are not millionaires. They do not have full purses with which they can go to the shops and buy their Christmas presents without regard to cost. They have a little money, and it requires good deal of planning, of invention and loving thought, to make it go around. Often times the money is only enough to buy the raw materials from which patient and skillful fingers will fash ion the gifts. If we could look into many home we should see the chil- dren planning some surprise on Christ mas morning for fathers and mothers, and the parents in turn consulting how to manage to give the boys and girls what they want. It is this mu- tual thoughtfulness for others that imparts to these December days pe- culiar atmosphere. It will soften the heart of the crustiest old bachelor to go into the Christmas shops and over hear the consultations among pur- chasers as to what they shall get. Even as you walk along the streets you ob- serve a peculiar light in the eyes of the women shoppers. They do not have it at any other season of the year, except perchance when they are ready for wedding.-Boston Watchman.

the father sometimes insinuated he would be bankrupted because of the expensive girl; but the little woman trusted God to help her at her best, and everyone rejoiced in the bright, happy mother who was the inspiration of the home.
 The next New Years eve, when Mrs. Mason was in her friends little home, she pitied her loneliness, and said: 'I wish you would marry, Kate"
 T wouldn't object if I had such a good husband as your John" was the laughing answer. ''Being good to your self has helped even him, has it notp

fer his offspring seemed than his wife.
 'I wonder if it is my fault that he always thinks of the children frsty Mrs. Mason thought, as she cut the cake her own hands had made, be cause it was special kind her husband enjoyed.
 That evening the girls noticed that theIr mother did not wait on them as much as usual, though she looked with pride on her sweet blossoms of 10 and IS as they left for a happy eveE- ing. MT. Mason went down town be- fore watch meeting, Tommy and Katie were bundled into bed without cere- mony or medical treatment, and Mrs. Mason sat down before the fire to think of the coming year.
