Aunt Annabel assented with a little
sigh, for her hands were already full
of Christmas errands for the family
Juanita did not notice the-sigh. Her
laughing eyes were filled with the
vision of the boy whom she knew to
be waiting just around the corner,
ready to carry those skates and buckle
up the straps. But her girl companion,
less absorbed. did notice it.

"Oh, Aunt Annabel is always busy

words and the little wrinkles on her
forehead deepened with pain. "An old

Jacks uncle2 Annabel felt bewil-

that Juanita was mistaken and that it
was only book agent making a most
untimely visit. Who else ever called
upon her?
The caller stood by the parlor door

Wealth and Ignorance.

was recently talking with a bust
ness man who is in the midst of the
great activities of New York, dresses
well. and lives well. but who, every
Time he opens his mouth, condemns
himself, betrays his shocking ig-
norance of almost everything outside
OF his own little speciality. He knows
almost nothing about the great me2
and women who figure prominently in
current history. He could not even
tell the names of the candidates for
the presidency and vice presidency
Just before the last election. He said
such things did not interest him. 1t
is painful, says writer in Success
Magazine, to try to carry ON a con-
versation with such a man. Think
OF the splendid opportunities for edu-
cation. enjoyment and culture which
that man, with thousands of others.
is throwing away, 1t does not seem
possible that man could do business
in New York city and be so ignorant OF
everything outside of his own little
groove. One would think that some
OF the millionaires who try to make
show in the world would feel cha
grined when they contrast their cheap,
shoddy education, their narrow, linn
tied intelligence, and their rutty
minds, their stingy. shriveled souls,
with their mocking wealth and their
display of the art works of the mas
ters and the books of great writers
in their libraries which they cannot
read intelligently. How this ostcn-
tatious show of the material mocks the
mental poverty, the brain penury! 1t
is pitiable, as well as 1udicrous, to sea
men who are rolling in wealth ig-
norant of the great world they live
in. of the significance of all the prin-
ciples and conditions which amel:o-
rate and elevate mankind; men VINO
know nothing of art or of science or
literature, and whose mental penury is
deplorable. They seem to think tha-
a palatial residence, gorgeous fur-
nishings, and fine carriages can be
substitutes for that which makes
real man or a real woman.
