face, The small waists; how can they
stand 1t? How can they breathe"
Some day. when am gone" she used to
you'll bring another here to take my
And vow you never loved me, anyway;
And she'll be young and have pref

And all that I, alas! have helped you save,
, Will only be fer her enjoyment then;
And you will be her foolish, willing slave,

She used to kiss their little one and
sigh:
What grief will come to you when 1 am
gone
All but for you would not fear 10 diel
Poor little one, how can l leave you here
To be abused when am gone above
To hear your father call another Dear
And see him give another all his lover"
A little mound is green upon the hill,
And thrice the winters snow has drifted
there
Above one who is lying cold and still.
Dumb to the petty griefs that people
share.
Another has the key that open his door,
All that he earned another shares to-
day;
The child he worshipped misses him no
more,
And there is much the gossips have to
say.

The family had an unholy fancy for lin
burger cheese. Al least, says a writer in
the New York Times the visitors 10 the
house who were not fond of 1t said ii was
an unholy fondness, but the family felt
themselves complimented rather than
otherwise by these remarks, and Their
prediction grew stronger. So. when ii
CHANGED that the woman Of the family
was down town late one afternoon and in
the neighborhood where the best limbur-
ger cheese in town was sold IL occurred
to her that IL would be a delightful sur
prise to the folks at home If she should
get some and take IL home to them. She
knew the properties of the cheese, of
course, but in her pleasure at the idea OF
making her family happy she quite for
got them So she made her purchase nnd
boarded the car for home. 1t was not long
before the cheese warmed up 10 the work
of making ii unpleasant for those near
It's owner. Gradually, but surely, an ag-
gressive, pervasive. and thoroughly dis
agreeable ordor filled the air. 1t grew
more and more aggressive and more Pnd
more disagreeable as the car filled, for
it was closed car. The first inquiring
shifts from the passengers had developed
into half-articulate expressions Of annoy
ance. The woman could feel her face get
ting hotter and hotter. But, alas! In the
car was poor, shabbily dressed woman.
and against her public opinion turusd.
That ordor was too awful TO be anything
healthy, and dreadful thoughts OF small
pox, and perhaps bubonic plague, began
to creep into peoples minds Those I'M
pleasant diseases are associated with
poverty, and gradually the people edged
away from the woman who had aroused
their suspicious until she had a clear
space to herself. IL the cause of all the
unpleasantness had had a well-develored
bump of moral courage she would have
declared herself Immediately, but she
hadn't. BY that time she was suffering
agonies of modification She did not know
what to do. 1t was too far to walk home,
and she had not the courage TO take an
other car and live the experience over
again with probable chance of being
found out. But in time she was within
walking distance. and with. a heart filled
with untold thanlSfulness she alghted
She thinks of her victim often with feel
ings of deep contrition, but she is certain
no matter how bad the woman felt she
could not have suffered as much as she
did carrying not only the cheese, but an
accusing conscience.
The benefit of close companionship be-
tween a father and daughter can hardly
be overestimated. While 1t may be con-
ceded, says the Woman's Home Com
panion, that the mother has finer spiritual
and moral sensiblities, the girl can gain
from the masculine side of the house a
breadth of thought and healthiness of
mind which will serve as fine foil to her
more feminine qualities. She will acquire,
also, an appreciation of humor, which
will add to her attractiveness. "A girls
proper confidant is her father" says one
who has written much for girls. While
denying the superiority of the father over
the mother in this capacity, there is no
doubt that the daughter would benefit
greatly did she confide 10 him many mat
tiers which she now withholds. Men know
men, and look at them without the gla-
mour of romance or sentiment. The man
whom men trust WILL as a rule, be worthy
of womans confidence. Fewer mis-
takes will be made matrimonially when
the father comes to consider il his duty
not only to object TO undesirable ac-
quaintances when IL is too late, but also
to see that his daughter meets desirable
men.
when first came to New York" said
q well-born Southern woman, to a New
York Tribune writer THE continual talk
Of money among people l knew amazed
me, and quite shocked my ideas of what
was betting in good society. The con-
slant aliusion to the cost of everything,
from yard of ribbon to an elaborate
entertainment struck me as being incom-
prehensibly vulgar on the part of those
who, by reason of their birth, education
and position, should never allude to the
cost of their possessions or those of their
friends. With us such references would
be considered commercial and in the worst
possible taste.
