illness OF the other, as, without seeming
to notice this, she chatted OF the Var-
GUS attractions OF Lakeside, with the
hone that Helen would enjoy them all.
"Did you have pleasant walkT' asked
Helen's roommate, on her return,
was sorry you had to go alone"
1T would have been pleasanter II ! had
gone alone" answered Helen, as she
looked in the glass, and decided that her
white veil gave quite an effect to her hat
"An oldish girl overlook me, and stuck
to me, till made an errand into a store
to get away from her" -,
"You didn't knCy wh@,Bhe was, thenF

would see us together and think we were

But what are you laughing at? For
Laura had thrown herself back on the
lounge and was laughing till the room
fairly rang with the peals.
ooh. Helen COne!" exclaimed Laura,
as soon as she could speak 1T Is too
funny! l saw her going down the walk
lust behind you. Why, that was AVIS
Reed, the head Of the senior class, the
finest scholar and the most popular girl
in the whole seminary"
1T cant be possible" protested Helen.
"The girl mean was almost shabbily
dressed"
"Avis doesn't care much for dress, but
she is a charming girl, and her family is
one Of the first in her town. And 10
think" continued Laura, last year,
when she was a junior, we sOphomores
used to feel honOred with her notice, but
now she is a senior, a freshman cuts
her" and Laura laughed again, Till the
tears ran down her cheeks
But Helen did not join the laugh. A
flush OF shame and modification red
dened her face. Such a dreadful blum
der! how could she have made 1t, and
would it ever be possible to undo 1t?
And with these inward questions there
came to her mind what her mother had
more than once repeated to her. ITO
Judge any one by personal appearance

There was poor old man
Who aAt and listened 10 the raging seq
And heard II thunder, lunging at the cliRg
AS like 20 tear them down. He Lay at night,
And Lord have mercy on the lads, said he.
"That aailed at noon, though they be none Of
mine,
Bor when the gale gets up and when the wind
Blings at the window, when IL beats the roof
And lulls and stops and rouses up again
And cuts the crest clean OF the plunging wave
And scatterS it like feathers up the Aeld,
Why, then think OF my two lada-ny lads
That would have worked and never lSs ma
want
And never let me tallB the paFish pay.
No, none OF mine. Ny lads were drowned al
sea-
Ny two-before the most Of these were born.
] know how sharp that cuts, since my poor
wife
Walked up and down and still walked up and
down,
Aud walked after, and one could not hear
A word the other said for wind and sea
That ragged and beat and thundered In the
night,
The Rwfulest, the longest, lghtest nighb
That ever parents had to spend-a moon
That shoue like daylight on the breaking wave
All. me, and other men have lost their lads
And other women wiped their poor dead
mouths
And got them home and dried them IN thu

And seen tho driftwood lie along the coast
That was o tidy boat but one day back
And seen next tides the neighbOTs gather II

Judglne from Appearance.

MIA ThOmaS, In Forward.
Helen Cone drew on her gray kid
gloves as she slowly walked down the
long and shaded walk that led from
Lakeside Seminary to the street.
It was the beginning of school year
at Lakeside, and Helen was one Of the
new pupils who had arrived that week.
This was also her first departure from
home; and what with her dresses An
inch longer than they had ever been
before, q new trunk containing more
new dresses than she had ever possessed
at one time, and her name entered ON
the seminary roll, she was inclined to
view herself as young person OF de-
cided Importance.
If Helen was affected by her own 'eX-
ternals, she was apt to be influenced In
no. small degree by the externals of
others as we'll. Her opinion Of her new
roommate rose several degrees when
she found that Laura had four new hats,
and had brought three silk couch pill
lows and mandolin to add to what she
called "the air" of their room, And
among the nearly two hundred inmates
Of Lakeside, not q quarter of whom she
yet knew by name or face, her eye was
all the time taking note Of those most
stylish or striking in dress and man"
ners as the ones she would especially
like for friends.
Mrs. Cone, Helen's mother, had seen
this trait In her young daughter, and had
more than once tried to correct 1t. But
Helen was just at the age when she was
very sure Of the correctness Of her own
conclusions; and, disregarding what her
mother had said on this subject, her
great desire at present was to include the
richest and best dressed girls in the SEM
mary ON her list Of friends.
Her room-mate could not accompany
Helen on her errand that afternoon into
the town, and Of the few she had yet
had become acquainted with in the three
days she had been at Lakeside, none were
at liberty, so she was taking her walk
alone.
CHANGING to glance back when partly
down the walk, she saw some one else
coming down the steps, and as she also
saw that 1t was young woman most
plainly dressed, she did not loiter 10 be
overtaken, as she might otherwise have
done.
She had, however, hardly reached the
street when quick steps sounded behind
her, and pleasant voice was speaking
at her side. Zone Of our new Lakeside
girls, Is 1t not? / think / saw your face
In chapel this morning. AS we seem to
be both going the same way, 1t will be
pleasant to go in company"
Viewed more closely, Helen saw that
her companion was plain Of feature and
manner, and more than that, that her
hat was last years fashion, and her
dress, under the well-worn cape, had a
hang which she at once set down as
homemade. Some poor girl, very pOs-
sibly working her way through, she de-
cided; certainly not one whom she, Helen
Cone, would care to know, In c0nge'
Quence, her tone OF brief and chilly civil
lty was In marked contrast to the friend
