That was when Benjamin Taussig, the

poor little cottage, and 1 was scared
when the door opened.
A young woman whom 1 knew to be
Tillie Schultz, looked at me sullenly.
Tillie was not pretty to look at. She
was short and dumpy of figure. her
skin was rough and her hair carroty.
Her pompadour was the awfullest I
ever saw.
We stared at each other for awhile
and then I went in without being in
vited. inquired how Mrs. Schultz was
getting along and Title said she
seemed little better and was now
asleep. I tried to talk to Title. but it
was not easy.

eNUR club never had an Easter meet
~ ing before and 1 suppose I would
not have had one last year il Mrs. Ed
wardin had not been on theprogramme
committee. Mrs. Edwardin is q good
church woman and it was she who pro-
posed the Easter meeting. She also
arranged the programme, SO it was
bound to be good.
The first thing after the transaction
Of business was song by Mary Groves,
HE is Risen, Indeed" She sang as if
inspired and it made thrills of exalta-
ton sweep all over me. Then Mrs AL
lison read a paper on Easter, telling
about its origin and history and how it
is celebrated by different peoples and
so on
The second paper was on the resur-
rection in art and was by Mrs. Lyall.
It was good paper, too, but deep, and
l don't know much about art. l could
not help thinking. in spots, about my
new suit, and wondering if that lace
would be the right thing. 1 was afraid
it might be little too yellow.
After Mrs. Lyall finished, the presi-
dent gave us what she called an Easter
sermon. 1t wasn't religious sermon,
she said she would not anticipate next
Sunday, but she thought Easter repre-
sented something in practical, every
day way that we ought to consider. She
said that to her Easter meant new life,
new hope and, more than ALL another
chance. We might have been doing
badly and making failures and mis-
takes, but Easter meant that we were
To nd 1fo ri he
said the ability to put old things be-
hind us and honestly and truly begin
over again and keep on beginning no
matter how many times, is one of the
best qualities anybody can have.
Mary Groves sang again and the
president asked If there were any 9TH
er matters that should come before
the club previous to it's adjournment.
There never is at that hour, but that
day there was. Mrs. Colloton rose and
said she had imbibed the Easter spirit
from the programme, and she wanted
the club to follow the prevalent Easter
custom ofsgiving Easter gifts. She said

for other members of the club, an hon

to give up her place to go home and
take care of her mother. The family
income was thus entirely cut off. There
was younger child besides the daugh-
ter mentioned. Mrs. Colloton under
stood there was plenty of money in
the club treasury and she moved that
the club appropriate SO as an Easter
present for Mrs. Schultz.
A club doesn't do such things usual
ly, but the members had been touched
by the programme and 1 guess they
were all filled with the Easter spirit
Anyway there was not one vote against
the appropriation. Mrs. Colloton didn't
waste any time, but got the check
from the treasurer just as soon as the
club adjourned.
Mrs. Colloton and l started home to-
gether, as we generally do. We went
around town to get the check cashed
at one of the stores, and Mrs. Co1lotor

inform me. The thought of the poor
hard-worked mother with this belig-
gerent daughter on her hands, was pit
eous. But l couldn't think of any way
to change the situation just then, and
meekly handed Til1ie the bill. THE
Women's club heard your mother was
SICK" said land sent her this little
Easter present. 1t is for her to buy
anything she needs, and we hope she
will soon be better
Tillie took the money stolidly, with
out one word.
The lace on my Easter dress was all
right. The yellow looks better than
white would. But Easter was fright
fully cold and l had to wear all my
winter things There were just four
new hats in our church, and they
looked most unsuitable. The service
was fine, and the flowers! We've new
er had them so beautiful.
But on the way home, what do you
think happened? Just as l crossed
Broad street l met a short, dumpy girl,
who smiled at me as if l were her best
friend. l did not recognize her at first
glance, but at second glance that awful
pompadour identified itself, though the
expression of the face under it was
very different from that l was familiar
with. 1t was Tillie-Tillie, in a light
tan spring coat, a huge hat of lavendar
straw trimmed with pink roses, and
white kid gloves; all these shiningly,
assertively new.
Tillie bewildered me, and in a few
moments, when my mind grasped pat
ent facts, Til1ie appalled, me- l could
not help putting two and two together.
Both she and her mother are out of
work and the Schultz treasury must
naturally be low. TiIlie is intrusted
with money for her mother Tillie
appears in brand-new Easter outfit,
whose cost would be just about the sum
of which Tillie had been made custo-
dian. Could she, oh, could she, have
appropriated the money and not given
1t to her poor mother at all?
Easter week was a bad week for me

to tell some one or burst, and we de-
cided we would keep the secret from

was.
Mrs. Schultz got better after a week
| or two and came back to work at Mrs
Colloton's. She spoke of the money
right away and she was so grateful
She said Tillie had been so blue and
| cross because she didn't have money
and couldn't have new Easter things
like the other girls. She was bound
TO go to the city to work and there was
a man trying to induce her to go. q
man who Mrs. Schultz said emphati
cally was no good. Mrs. Schultz knew
the city was no place for a green CIR
like Title, but she could no nothfne
with her until the club donation came
Then she offered the money and Title
listened to reason. -
She's back at Mrs. Stolrs now. and
a respectable young German is com
i ing to see her. So Easter and the
! Wemen's club gave Tillie another
chance, and / don't believe the zclui
ever did anything better. ~
But I've often wondered what tn.
members would have thought IL the,
