Nan caught her breath and looked
at her husband, eating his supper and
apparently all unconscious of the
strife which he had suddenly renewed
in her heart. Long ago, very long
ago, in the days when she had only
loved Jim and never expected to be
his wife, Molly Stewart had been his
sweetheart.
She was rare beauty one of those
to whom nature has given and given

thing more. And she had ways. No

She had never known what came
between him and Molly. He said he
had not asked Molly to marry him
and she had hinted that he had and
that she would have none OF him.

walked home with her from church
and how the people stared. She was

not Molly's good clothes nor Molly's
way of wearing them. She was just
sweet. dainty-looking girl. with a
heart capable of love and happiness.
Jim had always been her ideal, her
hero. When he turned from Molly
Stewart to her she could not under

Molly had married Abner Mcclure
soon afterward and had gone away
with him. She had now been away
seven years and people still remem-
sered and spoke of her young beauty,
which had reached its transcendent
point on her wedding day. The news
oppressed Nan; she did not know

MORALITY OF TILE STAGE.


It is the women today who make
the success of the individual theatre
and the individual play. If any
doubt as to that exists in any ones
mind, witness the attendance of these
very theaters when Immoral plays
are running. Out OF six such in New
York, inspected by the Delineator,
not one. but showed an attendance Of
Dne-third to. one-halI of women. And
rs these women in the great majority
were escorted there as the guests of
the men. either their wives, sweet
hearts or friends. it stands to reason
that the men would accept the die
tate of the woman as to what play
She would wish to see.
We repeat what Mr.. Charles Burn
ham, president of the Association Of
Theatre Managers. says. "No play can
exist that is not patronized by wom-
en-" and we add to it: No play can
exist that is not patronized by good
women. There are not enough of the
other kind to keep any show rum
hing. II, therefore. the good women
of this great country will awake to
their responsibilities in this one
thing; If they will themselves refuse
to attend; if they will use their un-
limited influence to persuade their
women and men friends not to attend
any show of the kind. they will drive
from the stage every indelicate, in
decent, immoral or impure play. In
that act they will be casting votes
effectively for great moral end, and
will build a platform on which they
can well stand and claim right to
cast the ballot ON every other thing.

WORLDS OLDEST METHODIST.
Mrs. Mary Ramsey Wood, familiar
~ known as Grandma Wood" who
died lately at the home Of her daugh-
ter, at the great age Of one hundred
and twenty years, is said to have
been che Oldest Methodist, II not the
Oldest woman, In the world. From
reader in Sherwood (Mr. F. B.
Clark, we have received the story
OF Grandma Woods life She was
born at Knoxville, Tenn, May 20,
1887. At the age of IL years she join
ed the Methodist Episcopal Church.
She married Jacob Lemons in 1904.
and bore the following children: Mary

1866; Mrs. Nancy Lemons Bullock.
born 1916, died 1858; and Mrs. Cath
crime Reynolds, born 1880, at whose
home the aged woman resided for
many years.
Mrs. Lemons moved from Tennes-
see to Alabama with her husband in

advanced age Of 10. Grandma was
q great reader in her time, and had
often seen Gen. Washington, Thomas
