4 silent Rebuke,

A curly-haired small boy sat in q Fourteenth street car just nt the time of the day when the cars are most crowded on Thursday afternoon. A worn-looking woman, evidently his mother, sat beside him. At Fifteenth street a particularly buxom woman of middle age crowded into the car. There was no seat for her and she stood glar- ing at the boy. Later her dispeasure vented itself into words. and she ex- pressed herself freely to the woman who stood next her about woren who let their children occupy seats while ladies are standing. The worn woman flushed, but made no move to have the boy surrender his seat. The buxom woman still glared. and still expressed herself with extreme frankness. The boy sat still. At N street the mother rang the bell. As the car stopped she put her arms around the boy and lifted him to his feet, half carrying him to the door.
 Wont you take this seat?" she said to the buxom woman. 'l am just talk ing him home from the hospital" And as the ear rolled on the biixom woman looked even warmer than the weather warranted. Washington Post.
