Aonly- don't prate to me about love
and devotion. I've proved the value of
both today. And, after all my struggles
to give you-the best of education, it's
hard, it's heartbreaking.
A sudden thought flashed across Mary
Hamilton's mind Of certain clerical
charities which had from the time of
her fathers death provided her mother
with the wherewithal of living, of the
great institution wherein she had re-
ceived her education free of cost to her
mother and because of the position in
life which her father had occupied, but
she said nothing she felt that it would
be useless.
$50 my dream ends" said Mrs.
Hamilton bitterly 1t says somewhere
in the Bible, Her children shall rise up
and call her blessed. It's fallacy,
nowadays at least; for veneration for
parents has gone cut of fashion.
Mary Hamilton sat back in her chair
wondering whether il would be best tc

and went blindly toward the door. ]
say blindly because she went stumbling
ly and CROPPED her way like a person
whose eyes were full of tears. There
were, however, no tears in her eyes,
but a strange sightlessness. as if she
had suddenly walked into heavy sea
fog. Then at the door she stumbled and
fell. not the sharp fall Of a person trip
ping by accident, but the huddled up
dropping to the ground of one unable
any longer to keep her feet.
Mary sprang from her seat with
cry. "Mother-mother-you are illi''
she burst out.
The answer came thick and indis-
tinct "Dying, dying You have-kill-
ed-mel"
The girl tried to lift the PROSTATE
woman, but found herself powerless
She sank upon her knees in an agony
of apprehension.

lady in a mauve silk who leaned upon
the arm of a tall young woman in
nurses uniform.
So the sacrifice was completedl To
Mary Hamilton, Mary Conway by then,
it passed like hideous dream, only
there was no awakening.
''My darling ehildl" cried her moth
er enthusiastically. 81 am SO happyl
My dear childl''
81 am glad, mother, Mary whisper
ed back and wondered the while if God
would ever forgive her for the false
vows she had plighted, the outrage she
had done to herself, for being the living
lie that she was.
And then began life which was an
hourly, daily torture and martyrdom.
The husband was quick to see that he
had made the gravest of all mistakes,
that he had bought the casket, but
could not possess himself of the jewel
within, to realize that his wife was
his. but that her heart was miles and
miles away and would never be his,
even though he were to live for thou
sand years. He was quick to learn that
he would never be the master to teach
this particular pupil to conjugate tho
verb to love, and the knowledge, coming
upon his passionate love and admiration
for her, was as oil poured upon fierce
flame.

CTo Be Continued.)
New Years In China.

In China it is considered obligatory
on all persons to settle every pecuniary
obligation before the first day cf the
new year, custom that might with
profit be initiated elsewhere. The Chi
nese have also the singular practice OF
dating all births on the first day of the
year on which they occur, so that as
far as the record shows every China
man has but one birthday, the first day
of January. The widest variance is OBJ
servable in the selection of the day
which should be considered the first OF
the year. Some nations have begun it
in the spring, others in the autumn,
some in midsummer, most in midwin-
ter; but, whatever the day, the usages
and rejofcings which characterized it
have not varied so greatly as might be
supposed, but have remained for ages
almost unchanged.

SILVER AND GILT.
TEA SERVICES AND OTHER THINGS
FOR A TASTEFUL TABLE.

Old English Shapes Are the Elegant
Mode-Queen Anne and Colonial.
Ten Caddy and Caddy spoon-Beau-
tifuI and Rich Colorings.
The styles of olden days are greatly
priced just now in silver tableware.
OF course they are usually revived
with a difference" that serves to dis
tinguish them from their prototypes
Antique English shapes are highly ia
vored. Quite new among these are tea
and coffee pots. sugar basins and cream
jugs with rounded bases supported by
four, or it may be only three, short
legs or carved feet. In some of the
latest sets hollow rim, base is adopt
ed. The cut shows one of the first Of
these styles, James /. afternoon tea
service, with ebony handle and knob
to the teapot.
This clever reproduction from the
antique is. however, quite departure
from standard popular styles, for in
these tl1e-Queen Anne and colonial still
retain their vogue.
Quaint little sets of teapot, creamer
and sugar basin show rather dull
silver finish, on which in raised work
and colored enamels are the long, PEN
dulous purple blossoms and green
leaves of the Chinese wistaria.

themum has that flower enameled in
characteristic colors = golden yellow
and rich maroon, with green leaves
fecked with yellow brown, as one has
often seen them growing in old fash
ioned gardens.
Old fashioned paneling is very con-
spicuous in tea sets and similar arti-
cles, some Of the pieces being five
sided, others six, and the octagon, on
the whole, the favorite form.
A tea service of true French dainti-
ness has its several slender pieces
shaped in many straight and narrow
panels or facets of plain silver, with
the characteristic garland of the en-
pire across the top of each.
1t may be said that the tall, graceful
fagon forms and the low, squat shapes,
plain smooth finish or heavily chased
and embossed ornament, are all equal
ly fashionable in silverware at present,
and one has wide choice among other
fanciful modes.
Silver tea caddies revive the pleasant
old time method of brewing the cup
that cheers. Some of them are of
plain, bright silver, and no added or
nament is allowed to infringe upon the
beauty of their admirable contour.
One of these is of oblong shape, with
the corners cut off, so to speak, max
ing it, strictly speaking, octagonal.
This is in plain bright silver, and the
cover lifts off by a top or handle.
Others, like the French style shown
in the cut, display an elaboration of
chased and repousse work. There are
tea caddy spoons galore, reproductions
Of odd, old English specimens and
modern models of equal merit.
Bright silver and gray in very many
shades are equally fashionable, with a
leaning perhaps to the latter.
Gilt has been largely introduced into
silverware of every kind within the
past year or two, either as the entire
finish of an article or only part of it.
Gilt is also greatly varied in tone.

Other hues are SO dark as to almost
mask the identity Of the metal, but
most pleasing is a new flamelike hue

richness of FURNISHED copper.

ino item of fable furnishings in silver.

DONE IN A MOMENT.
When Mary Hamilton found that her
mother had slipped into utter uncon-
scicusness, she ran to their nearest
neighbors and begged them to come in
and aid her. So her mother was with
no little difficulty lifted from the ground
and carried up to her bedroom, and a
doctor was quickly sent for. His fat

it would probably have proved fatal al

your mother will probably recover and
be quite or very nearly herself again. -
With carel Mary Hamilton's heart
went down to zero as she heard the two
little simple words which give hope to
some anxious watchers Of the sick, but
which open out endless possibilities of
unattainable needs to those who are
poorly placed in the world. In her case
it meant having an experienced person
to tend her mother by day and night

Just the same With the best intentions
in the world she could not be in two
places at once. Yet, how was she to af-

Mary Hamilton took off her black
straw hat as she spoke and pushed the
hair away from her forehead with a
weary gesture Mrs. Hamilton busted
herself with the simple tea table, assidu-
ously arranging plates, setting the tea
spoons straight in the saucers, laying
the butter knife at an exact angle and
smoothing away an infnitesimal crease
in the white cloth.
ssHe-he-he made a suggestion TO

"a suggestion Mary Hamilton sat
down and eyed her mother exrectantly.
"You don't mean that he proposed to

Something very like it, replied
Mrs. Hamilton still keeping herself
very busy with the table.
