Above the manufacturing class
comes the aristocracy 10 which Miss
Lydia Sampson belonged. The class

Every morning these favored creatures
arise with a zest for living. You hear
them singing before breakfast. at the

And the moment the eager, simple mind
turns to its fellows, sick or well, the
field OF interest widens to the skyline
OF souls. To sorrow in the sorrows OF
Tom and Dick and Harry and their
wives, to rejoice in their 1oys-what is
better than that. And then. all ones

we who work hard at philanthropy or
art or responsibility to manufacture our

such sl1y-blue natures. Certainly there
were persons In Old Chester who envied

'.Fhe Pine Grove House" by Ruth
Hail. is a story Of no particular force or
attractiveness, though il is cleverly
written The action takes place at a
rheap summer hotel. and an entirely dis

ani how great was her humiliation al
