ArbOr Day Exercises.

Pursuant to the call of the State
Superintendent of PublicIns!ruction
Arbor Day was hefttingly cele-
brated on the goth inst. by pupils of
the Public School. A prearranged
program, consisting of songs, recita-
tions and addresses was well render
ed, rejecting much credit upon the
teachers as well as the pupils. The
stage in the auditorium was deco
rated with autumn leaves and
flowers. AS background for this
setting were the trustees, speakers,
and teachers. The youug ladies
and girls from Mrs. Miller's room
marched up the stairs in double
line, bearing chrysanthemum ropes
on their shoulders and stood within
the entrance, forming a passage
down which the remaining
pupils marched in single file. The
recitations of Miss Mary Reynolds,
little Mabel Warren and Noess
Smith were heartily applauded.
The song "Arbor Day" displayed
originality in composition and en-
thusiasm in rendition. The exercises
were opened v 18th scripture reading
and prayer by Rev. NJ. E. Dodd,

The next morning after Mr.. Ward
Ward said to Barbara: "You remem-
her Mr.. Morton is coming to lunch
with us to-day. Would you ike to
sit at the table with us?''
The color rusheu into Barbara's
face, and she did not answer at once.
Then she said slowly: "No, Mrs.
Ward. 1 to4u you when came, if you
remember, that I never expected to
sit with the family at meal-time. Ny
place as a servant is to wait on the
family then"

not like the other girls who have
worked for US. 1 have no doubt you
could be perfectly at your ease with
Mr.. Morton or anyone else in So
ciety." Mrs. Ward spoke with some
womanly curiosity, for Barbara had
not yet taken her into full confidence,
and there was much in the girls pur-
pose and character that Mrs. Ward
did not know.
II suppose I could, probably" Bar
bara answered, demurely.
''Of course, you shut yourself out
of the society of people in your own
rank of life by choosing to be a serv-
ant" Mrs. Ward went on abruptly.
"You know that as we'll as I do"
eyes," replied Barbara, gravely.
"You know well enough that if I
had introduced you yesterday to all
the people in Marble Square church,
proba bly, not one of them would ever
have invited you to come and see
them or even enter into any part of
the church life"
II suppose So" Barbara replied,
flushing deeply. And then she said:
"But understand we'll enough that
such conditions exist because in the
majority of cases the girls who go
out to service in Crawford would not
care to be invited to the homes of the
people in Marble Square church, and
would feel very miserable and ill at
ease if they should be invited into
any such homes"
THAT is what I have often said.
The servant gir4s are in q distinct
class by themselves. They are the
least educated, tho most Indifferent

spoke and looked as any gentleman
might have spoken and looked at any
young woman who was his equal in
society.

plained to Barbara, as they walked

They had reached the door and
Mrs Vane tapped Mrs. Ward on the
shoulder
Mrs. Ward, you see that Miss
Clark comes to see me. want long
talk with her. Don't be afraid, my
dear. don't want to know any more

Tn interested in you, and perhaps I
'aan do something to help"
She hurried out, leaving Barbara in
-some uncertainty as to what kind of
help she meant. Would this woman
tof wealth and social position help
her in her plans for solving the serv-
<ant-girl problem?
The Wards were still standing near
the door, and Carl was pulling Bar
soara's dress and crying to her to
hurry home for dinner, when the
young minister came up and shook
hands heartily with Mrs. Ward. At
the close of the service he had come
down from the pulpit and had gone
through one of the side doors lead
ing into the church vestibule. He had
been talking with some of the people
out there. but tho minute Mr. Ward
appeared he came over and greeted
him.
Every glad to see you and hear you,
Morton, I'm sure" Mr.. Ward was say
ding as Barbara came into the vesti-
Fbule. "Been some time since you and
A1fred came in to see us together"

dragged Barbara out past Mrs. Ward
-"allow me to introduce Miss Clark,

,ly, and she continued, "who is working
for us at present."
Mr.. Morton bowed and shook hands
with Barbara, saying as he did so:
I'm very glad to meet you, Miss

about; and Barbara went on with her
work, conscious that the dragon was,
If anything, bigger and mercer in
some directions every day.
About noon the bell rang, and Bar
bara with a little frightening color
In her face went to the door.
Mr.. Morton greetet her as she
opened the door saying: Happy to
meet you again, Miss Clark. A little
pleasanter and not 80 hot as last
week."
Barbara returned his greeting by
saying: Eyes, sir" and took his hat,
while he walked Immediately into the
sitting-room like a familiar guest.
Mrs. Ward heard MIN from upstairs,
and came down at once. while Bar
bara went into the kitchen.
During the meal barbara could not
avoid hearing part of the converse
ton. She had always remembered
what her mother had often said
about servants telling everything
heard in the family talk and she had
tried since coming to the Wards to
train herself not to listen to what
was being said, especially at the table
when she was called in to stand and
wait at the beginning or during tho
different courses.
But to-day in spite of herself she
could not avoid hearing and knowing
part of the general conversation.
She heard Mr.. Ward good-naturedly
asking Mr.. Morton how long he ex-
pected to live in ho1el at Carlton.
"I'll warrant all the young ladies in
Carlton have given him at least a bar
rel of slippers already" Mr.. Ward
said, looking at his wife.
Twill you give me the highest mar

smile. Mr.. Ward was in the wholesale

made them both irritable and cross, and
although being good Christian people and
members Of the Marble Square church. the
4ourse of their domestic lives has been
ktrswn with many little tiff and quarrel.

has advertised for another. Barbara Clark

busy getting lunch for the rest.
Mrs. Ward offered to help with the
work; but Barbara saw that she
was very tired, and insisted on her
lying down.
I'll have everything ready very
soon," she said cheerfully; and, as
she went back into the kitchen, she
was humming one of the hymns sung
in the service.

ference"
"Of course" the other two women
assented. But, after all, what con-
stitutes the exact difference between
honest labor of the hands in a fac
tory or store and in home? If
they are both service that humanity
needs for it's comfort or it's progress,
ought they not both to be judged by
the standard of service, not by tn,
standard of place where the service
is rendered?
II think Mrs. Ward will find out her
mistake, and be ready to say SO in
little while. If she is going to
bring her girl to church with her, I
don't see where she can stop short
of taking her with her everywhere
else; and of course society will not
tolerate that" Mrs. Rice said after a
pause. -
''Of course not. The whole thing is
absurd The girls must keep their
places. All such eccentric women like
Mrs. Vane do more harm than good,''
Mrs. Burns declared with decision. Ii
