THE INFLUENCE OF KATHARINE.
Her CaIlousk Coincidence Finally Re-
 ceived a Severe Shock.

 Youths Companion.
 AS the door closed behind Kathar- ines trim, graceful figure, Mrs. Winter turned away with troubled eyes. II had not occurred to her that Kathar- inc would not stay at home for Bettys birthday party-Betty was so disap- pointed. Yet certainly Katharine was doing splendid work with those girls down at the club. and 1t was true that if she was absent a single evening she might lose some valuable opportunity
 Mrs. Winter sighed in perplexity; she must be very old fashioned. she confessed to herself. In her day daughters first duty had been to the home; now 1t seemed almost as if the home had no claim at all. Of course it was beautiful to help other girls and yet-was not Betty a girl too?
 But Katharine, walking briskly tc the clubrooms, was troubled by nc doubts. She was thinking of the girls and her influence over them-every- body told her that her influence was wonderful. She had toned down" Toinette Crovo till now her pompadour was no longer rated" up six inches high, her dresses were shyly copying Katharine's and the slang was disap- bearing from her gay chatter.

 This is a utilitarian age. We ask does swearing pay?
 Men tell me that they don't mean anything by their profanity. When people are awake and doing things without meaning to do them they give visible signs of insanity."-New York American
