What Can You Glxe2

It Is estimated that the gifts and be-
quests made by Americans in 1904 for re-
ligious, charitable, educational and philan-
thropic purposes were from ST, 600, 900 to
$1O0, 900 900.
So reckoned this IS a great sum COM
posed Of great sums. But what of that
real true giving which is not puffed UP
and lets not its right hand know what
the left doeth? Who are not to be Judged
by and are seldom to be found in the
lists of rich men and women
The little unrecorded gifts; the giving
as small as: it is, Is felt by the giver and
is an act Of self-sacrifice on his part.
This also is pleasing to God and is a
power for good In the world in scattering
sunshine.

That Marjorie Traylor led was no
surprise. The guess was central that
Katherine could keep up the pace.
AS to Miss Hayward, some were I'M

was on these three. 1t seemed plain
no one else would be in the race at
