"Now, then. 624i" shouted the Au-
ditorium attendant "Six hundred and
twenty-fourl" he repeated as there
flashed up to the curb splendid span
of black horses attached to carriage
having the monogram &c. R. s. in
gilt letters on the panel of the door.
Two girls stepped out Of the crowd

entered and taken her seat, and the at
tendant was still holding the door open
for the younger. who stood hesitating
lon the curb.

bang peculiar to well made carriages Of
this sort. and in o few moments the
coachman was speeding the horses rap

head toward her sister.
"Oh, giving those violets to that boyi
He looked as If he needed a good hot
supper more than q bunch Of violeta
It's q wonder you didn't invite him
home with US l shouldn't have been
surprised if you had You are always
doing such queer things Felicia
would 1t be queer to Invite boy
like that to come to the house and get
a hot support" Felicia asked the ques-
ton softly and almost as II she were
alone.
"Queer isn't just the word. Of
course. replied Rose indifferently. ut

decidedly. Therefore you will please
not invite him or others like him to hot
suppers because l suggested it Oh.

She yawned. and Felicia silently
looked out Of the window in the door.

tie4tly.
"Iliked tho music. answered Felicia
quietly.
"You like anything. never ssw a
girl with so little critical taste"
Felicia colored slightly. but would

Felicia turned her face toward her
sister. Her great brown eyes were very
expressive and not altogether free from
a sparkle Of luminous heat
"And yet we never weep over the
real thing on tho actual stage Of life
What are tho shadows Of London on the
stage to the shadows Of London or Chi

to blame for the poverty and misery.
There have always been rich and poor,
and there always will be- We ought to
be thankful we're rich.
Suppose Christ had gone on that
principle. replied Felicia, with un-
usual persistence "Do you remember
