The Sleeping Car Angel.

There's a good deal of chivalry
colonel meditatively, IF you can only
get at it, ! admit it is not ALWAYS
easy to do so, but one scene / wit.
messed rises to my mind whenever
conversation turns on this point.
1T was in the South, on a through
exoress to Washington, and the por,
ter had just started in TO make up the
beds for the night. He had begun
with the rear end OF the car; and at
ter making II or two beds he had
desistcd for some reason or other
so that all the other passengers ex.
ceot the occupants of these seats still
retained their places reading or idly
waiting for their turn. The car was
crowded-not a place vacant.
"One of those whose beds had beer
made was a pretty young girl, .
charming picture of innocence, with
red cheeks and soft, appealing eyes

Indeed as events proved she imagined
passengers were required TO disrobC
in the dressing-room at the end of the
car and then proceed in their night
robes to their resting places.
when disturbed by the porter, she
had taken her little traveling-bag anc
disappeared into the woman's dress
iug-room at the front end OF the car
Ten minutes passed, when suddenly
a white figure appeared in the aisle
facing US, and paused, while a pail
of frightened yes were raised &c
our astounded faces. 1t was Lucy
clad in her nightgown. Her hair wa:
braided in two long, thick plaits that
reached below her waist. Amid &
silence unbroken save by the rumble
of the wheels. she began the journey
toward the berth at the rear end OF
the car, her little bare feet flashing If
and out beneath her night-dress, like
two tiny rabbits.
"For a moment we gazed at hel

colonel at the close of the story
without thinking of that scene anC
of the spontaneous tribute offered tC

In the performance of her many
household duties, or when working in
the garden, nothing can take the
place of a good work apron. The
one here illustrated is quite simple
in construction, and is very easily
slipped on. 1t is shaped by curved
side seams and two pockets add to
its usefulness. The materials best
suited for the aprons of this kind are
bingham, linen, and Holland. The
medium size will require 3B yards
of 60 inch material.

II like to see q batsman stand right
over the rock and await the pitchers
onset like a soldier. 1t depends upon
a batsmAn's eye and his physical abll-
ity as to whether he'd better just meet
the ball with his bat or take a full
power swing at 1t. l nearly always

strike out pretty often trying to put
them away back deep, but wasn't
made to just tap them, and I've got to
hit the way / was made TO hit. Some
batsmen. however. go so wide of the
mark when they put their full force
into their swings that it's best for
them just to meet the ball and thereby
improve their chances Of finding it.
THE full force hitter is bound to
decrease his chance of mailing 1t by
the momentum Of his swing, and some
naturally fine batsmen can't hit a bal
loon when they put all OF their power
into the swing.
willie Keller is one OF the batsmen
who have just to meet 1t. He used to
try to soak 1t when he first began to
play ball, but he never got by that
way. His scheme now is to grab the
club by the middle and Just tap the
sphere on the nose with a sort of half
arm swing when he sees the one com
ing that he likes, and his batting aver
age tells the story Of how he gets away
with the kind of hitting that he Is best
suited for.
while don't like to see a batsman
make a mark of himself by falling
for everything the pitcher has a mind
to shoot at him, still have good rea-
sons to hate to see batsman wait too
long for the kind he wants or thinks be
wants.
81 like to see a batsman take a clout
at every good one. irrespective Of how
