ant at Sunday school, and had lis
tened earnestly when plans for a
coming Christian Endeavor conyen-
tion were discussed. her interest in
creasing TO enthusiasm over the mys-
terious affair when she learned that
her auntie was to attend as a dele
gate
Coming into the library one day,
auntie saw the little maid busily en-
gagged in writing a letter to her
cousin with whom she kept up a
juvenile correspondence. She
scrawled industriously for a moment,
then stopped. There was puzzled
expression on her fat ink-stained
face, as she dangled her short legs
and wriggled uncomfortably on her
high perch.
"Auntie," she said, "how do you
spell 'devil?'"
"Oh, Elsie" said her auntie, Il am
shocked! Why are you using such
a word as that in your letter? Nice
little girls never say such thingsl"
"Why, auntie," she cried, "I'm only
telling her about the Christian and
devil conventionl"-Harper's Maga-

how absurd st. seems

white-washed beams.
And far away from worldly cares had
proud, ambitious dreams.
Oh there Is much that I have learned
about the world since then.
And much I've seen that serves TO wake
the wOnderment Of men:
The world Is far more splendid than I
dreamed that il could be
As lying meath the rough-hewn beams
fair visions came TO me
But one great glory Of the world has

Or, when the fires low. kneel down while

From a Costume Picture Taken In 1888.

"A very sweeping inquiry, you see;
hence this necessary comparison with
shop, factory and Office work. As to
the other professions, taking. for in
stance, law or medicine. preparations
for practice must be very costly. A girl
puts her family to a great strain to pay
her college expenses, or If some family
friend advances funds, when she finally
passes all the dreaded examinations,
and has the legal right to hang out her
shingle, she starts in the race Of life
handicapped with crushing debts.
THE theater is, think, the only
place where a salary is paid TO students
during all the time they are learning
their profession; surely a great. won
derful advantage over other profess
sions TO be self-Sustaining from the
first.
Then the arts, but ah! life is short
and art, dear Lord, art Is long almost

they come, are apt to be somewhat un-

swift as lightning. sweet as nectar,
while you are young enough to enjoy
and to make still greater efforts to
