Albert looked at him n moment,

q Nice PAGES first impression
HN of Frank Mason did not do
RSa6sSSd him Justice. She thought him
S2s&9 II big, good naturcd, polite
boy, rather conscious that he was like
ly to be sought after and disposed to
sullk if he wasn't. His plea for SYM
pathy OH the score that his life of idle
ness was Il bore, which he made the
day they went slelghing, only provoked
her derlsion, and rs she was disposed
to judge all men by the standard of
her self reliant brother, he came near
awakening contempt OH her part. 1t
was not until the last evening Of his
visit that she discovered her mistake
II realized that he had more depth
of character than she had thought. 1t
is likely the keen enjoyment which he
seemed to feel when she sang for him
had weight, for we are prone to like
those who like us, and it was natural
also that she should feel a little graft
tude for what he had done for her
brother.
Her life, hidden rs she was In q by
way corner OF n country town and
seeing no one all the week except her
small band of pupils, gave her plenty
of time for thought. Once n week,
usually on Saturday, she received Il
letter from her brother, and that, to-
gethcr with the mild excitement OF
Sunday ch%urchgoing, was all that
broke the monotony Of her life.
A week after the Christmas visit she
received n package containing Il new
book, three Of the latest popular songs
and n box Of candy, and pinned 20 the
candy Frank Nason's card, on the back
Of which WAS written, "Ior the girl
wlio wanted to kiss her teacher"
She wrote Il polite note of thanks. 1t
was midwintCr and two weeks after
her brother wrote that Frank had be-
gun studying law In his Office when she
received n letter from that young man
that surprised her. He wrote:
My Dear Miss Page-I trust you will
pardon me for intruding myself upon you,
but j wish you to know that IL few point
ed words spoken by you while / was en-
toying your hospitality have not been for
gotten and have influenced mo to mako

% 1ANDGATE was just budding
forth in Il new suit Of green,
R1sS%SSd the meadows dotted with
te@%s44sSy daisies, ana here and there q
bunch of tiger lilies waved I'm the
breeze when one Friday afternoon the
teacher ut the north district school
heard n knock.
The class in reading, then in evi-
dencc, were halted in their singsong
Of concert uttcrancc, and Alice Page
opened the door TO find two stalwart
young men standing there. With n
quick impulse of propricty she stepped
out and closed the door behind her,
only to find herself clasped in n big
brothers arms and to receive n smack
that WAS heard by every pupil in the
little s%clloolroom. With n very red
face she freed herself and then pre-
scntcd Il small hand to the other young
man with the remark:
Il hin you arc both just as mean
as You can be TO surprise me In this
way!.'
When explanations were duly made,
the two visitors were invited inside and
given seats. The class In reading was
hen dismissed and that in spelling
called to what was now seemingly to
them an unexpected misery. a bomb
shell or Il ghost at the window would
not have produced any more consterna-
ton than those two strange visitors.
This class, that one by one filed up in
front of the teachers desk and ranged
themselves In line, stood trembling, and
the boy ut the head, to whom was put
the first word, was unable to utter a
sound. The next one spelled II wrong,
and ii was tried by two others and
finally spelled right by n girl who could
hardly do better than whisper it. She
was told TO 80 TO the head, and after
that the rest did better. The search for
knowledge in that school had received Il
setback, however, for that day, and
Alice decided to do the wiscSt thing and
dismiss her band of pupils without de-
lay. When tho oom was cleared OF
them she turned to her two callers and
said with mock seriousness, The first
class in department will now define
propriCty."

dard says, is that the chief glory of a
woman is her hair, and, naturally she
devotes much time TO its care. It is
one Of the chief vanities and there
fore she should not display it in church.
The edict Of the rector has caused
considerable comment among the fem
inine members of the congregation. His
position is criticised as illogical. It is
admitted that the beauty Of some wo
mems hair detraet the attention Of
impassioned men from the sermon, but
it is pointed out, that the beauty Of
some hats worn in church, have the
same effect upon most women, as
woman's beautiful hair would have
upon some men. Easter bonnets were
not in use in st. Pauk's time and his
objection to bareheaded women, there
fore, antiquated.

| Of tho American men toward Women7' y
is asked 50 often by elderly men and
women, when they see every seat in
the crowded cars Of the New York ele-
yated and surface cars occupied by
men, while the women frantieally hang
to the straps. Is it really true, that
the men Of today are less ehivalrOus
than those Of thirty or forty years agoi
There seems little doubt that such is
the case. The causes Of that fact have
been the subject Of much speculation
and great deal has been written
about 1t in newspapers, magazines and
even books. Philosophical observers
and careful students Of existing eco
nomieal conditions areinclined to be
lieve that the women Of the present
period are themselves responsible for
the vane Of ehivairy among the pres.
ent period arethemselves responsible
for the vane Of chivalry among men.
For thousands Of years women have oe.
eupied the position which nature and
the prevailing degree Of civilization
had assigned TO them. They were held
10 respect and treated, at least by the
educated men, with Difference and
chiyalry. When The women, however,
chose to leave their sphere, when they
ceased TO be wUmanly and openly com
peted with men in the pursuits which |
for several thousand years had been the
recognized sphere Of mans activity,
they placed themselves upon the same
level upon which tho men stand. The
women descended from their pedestal
and became mere units Of the army Of
workers, just like any man. One can.
not expect tho average man to look
up 70 women who run saloons and
barber shops, keep books, go on the road
as travelling saleswomen, smoke cigar.
cites, drink cocktails and other strong
drinks; play baseball and football, az.
feet mannish dress and do other things
which to "mere man" seem unwo.
