Americans IN this particular says that
If man cannot retire from his busi,I
ness or profession when 90 years old!
he had better not do it at all. After
that age it is hard to readjust ones
habits to a life Of leisure. There is;
something pathetic in an American of
GO or 10 years. whose whole life has
been spent in "bustling" In some sort
or other, retired and trying to ''enjoy
himself" He simply cant do it-and
generally dies in the vain experiment
A man like Russell Sage-now SO years
old--can no more retire from business,
so long as he is able to transact X,
than man can let go Of live electric
wires.

Castles in India.

A lady who has for many years been
a missionary in India makes some very
surprising statements about the castes.
Castles, as most of the boys and girls
know, are class distinctions Which
make barriers-as hard to pass as hib
walls-between one group of people
and another. The people of higher
caste do not touch food that has tee1
prepared by people of lower caste
SO you see some of the highest, ths
most arlstocratlc people have to be
cooks. In the hospitals there have to
be cooks belonging to the highest Of
Brahmin caste. At one time the low
est of the Hindus would decline food
from the foreigners, ever though they
were starving Now, however, the
caste lines are less rlgidly drawn, 50
that IF you decline TO put the food OF
aims down the beggar will relent ana
take 1t from you. 1t can be understooo
how two or three or half dozen castes
might be preserved, but this mission
ary lady said that there are forty
tastes among the BARRIERS alone! Anu
for a barber to marry carpenters
daughter would be quite impossloiel
1t can easily be seen how difficult IL

Macaulay's Mem ,rv

Archdeacon Farrar in a recent remi-

he heard Macaulay name every woman
who had been executed in England. He
was then asked If he could name all Of

piled, "any schoolboy could do that !"
The Archdeacon says that Macauley,s

his name is Vernon Pierce. Didn't
you meet Mr.. Pierce from Atlanta
over there at the springs"
Dolly knew her face was hot and
flushed. She hoped Bob wouldn't no
tice it. Eyes, l think so," she said,
trying to smile.
The other girl went on:
alice confessed that he was a great
fiirt. She must be going to be married
soon, or she would not announce her
engagement. My dear, you look sim
ply worn out. But you will get used
to these teas and dances and things
by the end of the winter" said the girl
with the social experience of two sea-
sons to her account. She smiled and
glanced up al Bob, and showed ali her
dimples again.

mer night on her face. They had been
dancing and now they could hear the
strains Of Forever and Forever" In
the light from a window some one
was standing before her. His voice
was low and he was singing the words
of waltz. "Oh, bid me hope to call
thee mine, forever and forever"
She could remember all that he said
that night at Greenbriar, and she re-
membered that she had laughed at
him. Yes, she had laughed, and now
she was glad. OF course he said the
same things to Alice the next week.
Alice went up there to the springs just
after Dolly came home.
The man at the door came over and
gave a handful of letters to Dolly.
These came in the afternoon mail"
he said.
"You can read those, Bob" she said
as she tossed her companion a pile of
small envelopes. She knew they were
regrets and such things. There was
one large letter, postmarked Atlanta,
and directed in a strong, masculine
hand. Bob was busy with the "re-
grets," SO she opened It.
Dear Miss Dolly" it ran, II wanted
to send this letter with the roses. but
did not care to risk it to the careless
ness of the florist. OF course, am in

not getting up to your coming out
But, If may-it depends entirely upon
your answer to .this-I shall come I'M
during the holidays. I don't know
whether Miss Avery has announced
the fact or not, but she is engaged to
my cousin. BY the way, we both have
the same name. They will be mar
ried the last Of December, and I am
to be the best man-if you will let me
come and say to you what l tried so
hard to make you understand last sum-

Bob reached up to straighten a can,
die in the sconce above them. Hha
shook his head at the face reflected IN
the mirror and murmured, Not in nv

but he knew that the light in her ewes
