Huxley on the Bible.

great English agnostic, wrote one OF
the most glowing tributes that we
have on the Bible. ( 1t is said that b

Away by the beautiful shores of
Lake Leraan Elsie Lambert enjoyed
a growing sense of security. With
Lady Gethin she grew in favor day by
day; her thoughtful softness, her de-
light in learning, and her delicious
voice charmed the somewhat exigeant
dowager. Again and again she
vowed to herself that she would never

Lady Gethin T"s pondering these

luncheon, on the delightful balcony
of their hotel overlooking the lake.
The approach of waiter disturbed
her. He brought telegram. 1t was
from Glynn. Keep all newspapers,
especially English ones, from Elsie;

There is something dreadfully

With infinite care and tenderness
Glynn soothed the poignancy of her
first grief, and soon persuaded her
she could show no better respect for
the dear dead than by fulfilling en-
gagements to which he had agreed.
Some months later, therefore, a very
quiet wedding took place at Lady
Gethin's residence. Glynn's clerical
cousin from Clapham and the faith
full Mrs Kellett were the only guests,
and gradually time and tranquility
healed the wound which death had
inflicted.
But Lambert lived ever tenderly

Curious Breach OF Promise Laws in
Other Countries

England is the best p.ace-from

breach OF promise action. All other
countries seeem TO regard with grave
suspicion any attempt TO recover
monetary consideration for the loss
OF prospective husband, and unless
the plaintiff has very strong case
lnaeed 1t is never worth her while to
carry her grief into the law courts
In France breach of promise cases
are rare for the simple reason that
the law requires the plaintiff to prove
that she has suffered pecuniary loss
Now this is not an easy thing to do

the authorities determine the ques-
