conditional, though publicly acknowl-
edged partnership in the prominent
legal firm of Gaunett, Stryker g. La
than, a place he had conquered by
sheer merit. While his financial goins
from it were not as yet much better
than the salary he formerly received
MS the: managing clerk of Messrs.
Gaunett s. Strayer, the partnership
was far more advantageous than the
cl%erkshiP, since 1T gave him standing
and certainty of ultimate fortune.
a very considerable portion of the
business of the firm was the exhaus-
tive investigation Of properties and
enterprises, OF any and every kind,
in which their rich clients contem-
plnted investments. For this class of
work clenI: headed, wide awake, thor
ough and conscientious John Latham
had come to be regarded as a manSof
remarkable value. One of the notable
triumphs of the firm was his first
achievement in that line, and, by the
way, the manner in which the oppor-
tunity therefor fell to him seemed at
the time to be sheer accident. "A
couple of clients, who were about
making a joint Investment Of half a
million dollars in a western railroad
scheme, at the last moment bfthought
them that it would at least be a pru-

Older women of this day, especially
those belonging to what is termed
good society, seem to have thrown
down the gauntlet to the grim de-
stroyer Time and TO keep up a
plucky, albeit necessarily unequal,
fight with him to the very death. 1t
is really wonderful to see the spirit
these frail beings display against such
mighty odds, maintaining 10 the last
n courage that is worthy of a better
cause. There is q point at which 1t is
far morc dignified and in better taste
to retire than to keep up a fight that
must in the end be ghastly. Still,
while it is possible it is good to be
young, and IL our modern grandmoth-
ers chose to bicycle, play golf and ride
in the summer and rejoice in Partisan
clothes and the social pleasures of
dinners and balls in the winter, who
would begrndge 1t? The French have
a graceful saying that n woman never

But harder and finer when old in

Yes. the grandmothers should Ger

the greatgrandmothers? Would it not
be well for these wonderful! new cen

able, content to have gained a genera
tion of their predecessors?

claimed with incredulity, he asserted

ter both having married very young,
but it certainly sounded homogeneous.

When his destiny had thus been

stinct for self-preservation had re-
strained him from a positive pledge to
