THE LITTLE SISTERS.
thoughtful Delicacy of These Noble
Women.

Women.
Who have not seen the Little Sisters
of the Poor? But how many have Wis
tied their home and know aught of
their happy family of old people?
| One of the most touching incidents
was witnessed not long ago in which
two of these Sisters were principals.
AT certain factory here in town
, where stockings are made the Sisters
have been granted permission to come
and select odd or defective pairs of
hose that could not be used for the
regular trade, and in this way many of
the old people have been supplied with
warm hosiery for the cold winter
months.
One day last winter they We're en-
gagged in making their selections but
the manager noticed that they took
only those of one color or those, at
least. that We're almost of the same
| shade. AS heretofore they had showed
no discrimination against any one color,
the manager grew so interested that he
finally asked them why they did not
take all the stockings. rs usual.
Well" exclaimed one of the Sisters,
with sweet solicitudc, you know many
of our people are but children grown
old. aud they have tho likes and dis
| likes of childhood. Last time VIZ
brought homo the stockings one old.
lady got Il red pair and one a blnck
pair, aud they haven't vet decided
which received the hest pair. In fact,
even vet | think each ono thinks the
other has the nicer pair. and YOU know
we do not want 10 cause them any I'M
necessary unhappincss.
Their lives for the most part have
not been ovcrcrowded With many pleas
llrS. and we want their remaining
years to be us free from strife and
clouds as much as possible"
Surely in this commercial age such
words seem like bit of lavender
pressed in between the leaves of some
old-fashoncd book. To-day there is an
inccssant demand for practical charity,
which too often means great deal Of
investigation. a very little help and no
kindness worth mentioning.

President Roosevelt that all things were
ready. His response was quick. and in a
Jew seconds came the answering touch
