Grace, turning dizzy and faint,

Was she to hear the story of Freds
disgrace here, before the entire fam
lily? Wildly she thought of flight; then
taking a fresh grip on her napkin,
which by this time resembled snow

felt such a ridiculous desire to cry in

dashed upstairs to his room, he was
met in the dim entry by his sister.

Chicago Tribune. 1t Is not so now.
Country life now has certain awkward
and cxasperating disadvantages. Isola-
ton and the want of good means Of
communication lie at the root of the
difficulty. Farming is no doubt one Of
the most normal and healthful of occu-
patiOns. At the same time 1t is to a
certain degree narrowing and deaden-
Ing. If 20 the pleasurable and prOfita-
BILE features of the country there could
be added some Of the pleasurable and
profitable features Of the city, a great
good would have been accomplished. IL.
besides fresh air. good food and excel
lent health, the farmer could have the
libraries. telephones and free deliver
les before mentioned. as well as the
concerts. the lectures. the theaters, the
museums and the constant and easy in
tercOurse which are possible In urban
communities. the change in the tone Of
rural life would bring with 1t impOr-
iant and farreaching consequences.
