A MERE MATTER OF MONEY.
Two hundred dollars. please"

Two 1unQroQ QOlldTS, pl6dSS.
The New York drawing-room was
crowded with fashionable throng.
on the eve of departure. The hostess,
standing near the doorway, addressed
her remark to a quiet, innocent-look-
ing lady who was about to pass
through, and who now viewed her
with establishment.
'Two hundred dollars!" she ,ex-
claimed. What for?"
"That is your loss at bridge for the
evening"" said the hostess.
But" exclaimed her guest, | had
no idea that we were playing for
money. Why, / wouldn't do such a
thing. What can you mean?'
you don't suppose for an instant,
said the hostess haughtily, "that We
were playing for our health, DO you?
1t is the usual thing"
''But / haven't got the money with
me-
"Then you can send me a check
at once"
The guest, her sense of justice fully
aroused by the imposition practlced'
upon her, drew herself up proudly.
II am, as you know, not long res
ident here" she observed. 1T seems
to me nothing short of robbery Sup
pose I refuse to pay this money!
The hostess shrugged her shoulders
meaningly.
eff you do" she replied with fine,
cutting contempt, there is no hope
for you. From this time forward you
will cease to be an honored and re-
spected member of our sacred circle

@fO LOTTERS make pretty valentines
gu if artistically treated. As a
foundation cut a piece of blot
ting paper three inches by twelve.
Make several sheets of the same size
and cover the upper one with crepe
paper of q good tint. Over the crepe
paper lay heavier paper of con-
trasting tone from which has been
cut scroll design, through the open
ings of which the crepe paper will
show. Outline the edges and scrolls
with gilt and tie all together with a
small bow at one end. The heavier
paper may cover only one end of the
blotter leaving the crepe paper plain
beyond except for the design of gilt
which follows the edge.
A small memorandum tablet may be
made quite dainty enough for valen-
tine. Take a piece of heavy card
board and paste a small block of
leaves one side of the center. Punch
holes near the top on each side
through which to tie ribbon for hang

GRITTLE GEORGE wanted to send
~ some one a valentine, and when
his mother suggested that he
might mail one to his father he met
the suggestion with enthusiasm. She
went with him to the store where
they were sold and he finally selected
one-a hideous caricature of "a man
with large bald head. 1t SO hap
pened that Georges papa was bald,
and for that reason the little boy
thought the one selected would be
very appropriate 1t was accordingly
placed in an envelope and addressed
in large printed letters by George
himself to his parent. OF course,
when the father came upon it in his
mail he recognized the scrawl of the
writer and chuckled at his small sons

GRAMMAR rs ETHICS

Al Arkansas City the other day,
Mr.. Good married Miss Dunn. Tt has
already been suggested that the bride
D1nn-Good. Nov the grammatical
crlticism arises, is Dunn-Good prop
er? Ought it not to read Well?
Then the other consideration aris-
es, was anybody really Dunn7 And
if not, was there any Good Dunn?
But, if anybody was Dunn. was it
not Good, so that in any event the
outcome is Good-Dunn? BY reason
of this match Miss Dunn has be-
come Coed, therefore, what was orig
inally Miss Dunn is made good and
the original error is corrected. The
observation also intrudes itself that
1t is, in this manner, possible to
make a woman Good, whatever she
has Dunn. and that when a man is
Good to begin with whatever may be
Dunn with him does not keep him
from remaining Good.
Going back to the query whether,
Dunn-Good is proper, ought it not to
read "Dunn-Good and proper?" And
if so, who was Dunn-Good and prom
er? But it is established by all
grammarians that Dunn-Good is bad
If what is Dunn-Good is bad, how are
we to classify that which is not Dunn
Good? This might be continued in
definitely, but as the reader APP
proaches the last word we fancy we
can hear him saying thankfully:
tThis mess Of rubbish is Dunn.

be directed to the main object, the
salvation Of a dying world" turning
men from sin to Righteousness. No
longer does the preacher spend his
time trying to win men to his par
tieular denomination, no longer is it
thought the most important thing to
get a man to "join a church" but
the preacher says, make your lie
right and then get into the body Of
Christian workers that suits you
best
The result Of this is to diminish
the membership Of the "big church.
crowd, as we'll as to minimize the diff
erences among the churches. The
sbig church even applauds the new
spirit for the war Of sects, highly
interesting as it was, really appeared
very ridiculous even to the sinner.
It's fun, Of course, to the sinner to
see a scrap between the churches,
but in his heart he really thinks,
~what a strange thing a religion is
that makes people mistake church
zeal for real Christianity"
Perhaps unity Of organization will
never become a fact in the Christian
world, perhaps it may; certain It is
that we are passing through a period
of transition in religion, and possibly
in the course Of time all the organi-
cations we now know, will have pass

better forms. It doesn't matter; SO
long as we have harmony among the

tians, 50 long as they worked with the
