Last evening was talking
With doctor, aged an gray
Who told me OF q dream he had'

While snoozing in his office,
The vision came in V1eWS
For he saw angel enter.
Dressed in garments white and new.
Said the angel, arm from heaven.
The Lord Just sent me down,
TO bring you up to glory,
And put on your golden crown.
"You've been a friend to everyone,
AnC worked hard night and day,
You have doctored many thousands,
And from few received your pay.
so we want you up in glory.
For you have labOred hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, Just reward"
Then the angel and the doctor
Started up toward glory's gate,
But when passing close to hades,
The angel murmured, wait.
al have got place to show you;
It's the hottest place in hell,
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment always dwell"
And, behold, the doctor saw there
His Old patients by the score,
And Rra bling up chair and fan,
He wished tor nothing more;
But was bound to sit and watch them,
AS they ii sizzle, SINCE and burn,
And his eyes would rest on debtors
whichever way they ID turn.
Said the angel, Come on, doctor,
There's the pearly gates sea-"
But the doctor only mutter6d,
This is heaven enough for me-"

The way was long and weary
To her tired, aching feet.
And the days seemed often drearv,
Waiting her loved ones to meet;
But the wearisome journey is ended,
The difficult lessons learned,
And her tired spirit rejoices
In the rest for which she yearned.
We miss her, yes. we miss her,
And our hearts are sad and lone;
But how sweet to her was the summons:

possibilities of old silk waists the
sleeves OF which were worn or the yokes
discolored- Once given foundation, it
was simple enough; the disused article
lost its sleeves, the yoke was shipped
out, two yards of mousseline was laid
on in plaits and formed into sleeves.
Presto, and we have the desired article.
In the event the old bodice is not very
attractive, evening waists can be made
of painted bobbinet-an inexpensive
material on the market for the first
time. It is double width, sheer and
beautiful, costs but s1.50 yard and two

low, but is provided with long, unlined

and no trimming is needed. as the stuff
is decorative within itself and may be
