Lillias Gray's red lips curled in scorn
as she thought of the conversation be-
tween Miss Mills and the professor. She
had always been pampered and flattered
and her vanity was not easily downed.
She had not realized until now that
Florence was smart girl, too, and she
had not recognized, not even for mo-
ment, that any one in school could rise
superior to herself and the knowledge
was a sad blow to her pride.
"She shan't have that medal" she said
to herself, "even if have to sit up till
morning every night for the next three
weeks
In the course of half an hour. she
went to her own room. She passed Flor
ence and her aunt in q shaded corner on
the porch. Florence was sobbing Bit
terly and Lillias heard her say, mo, no,
auntie; there is no hope for me-"
LilIas paused just inside the door
when she heard that.
Now, Florence, don't cry any more;
you may succeed after ALL
You don't know how badly l feel.
All the girls treat me so cruelty cold,
and 1 have always looked so shabby,
they have never cared to be seen with
me. No one cares for me and no one
wants me to get the prize.
No, no, auntie, it can not be. If [
were loved as Lillias Gray, 1 should
have more confidence in myself. | hate
to give up all hope, though. If [ only
could succeed l could help you. and
then maybe we should not always be so
poor Do you think Aunt Julia would
care if l won? She don't seem to care
for anything but cats, but perhaps her
heart is tender and she might help to
get me a position some place.

equal rank with Lillias. I'm sure there
is some sadness in Florences life which
preys upon her mind and keeps her
back said the professor.
so there you are, Lillias, and you
will surely win the laurels.'
Lillias Gray's cheeks crimsoned: she
bit her lip and knit her brows in deep
frown. Il do not hold a better chance
than Florence she said.
The other girls. burst forth with the
EXPLANATIONS, How foolishw "Oh, nom
sensew Don't underrate your ability"
and SO on, until there was a din of
voices that was .deafening.
Il don't see how her aunt can afford
to keep Florence at this seminary" said
Ida. They are so poor and have a
house full of children-10 in all. My
cousin knows them well and they are
very poor. However, she has a spinster
aunt in another town, reputed to be
rich, but all she cares for is cats.
Maybe this aunt pays for her schooling.
who knows? She's very queer old lady
and it's said she's awful stingy, which

that Florence wears. Her neighbors say
she's made her will and left the money

more"
Girls, here comes Flo's aunt now,

A woman past the prime of life,
gowned in a plain black, with sallow,

with a silent hand clasp, and the two
walked toward the house. Some of the

NY little girl that is planning to
~ make few of her Christmas gifts
will find a host OF dainty things TO
fashion from ribbon. And the ribbons
this year are Ioyelier than ever, with
their glints of gold and silver and their
soft satiny sheen. They come in every
imaginable width, SO that there is
ribbon to fit any purpose
Cushions and sachets are among the
easiest articles to put together, and
for a beginner in fancy work square
pincushion having the top and bottom
alike, both woven of two widths of
satin ribbon in basket style, will prob
ably be the easiest to attempt. Mother
or sister will appreciate this useful ar
ticle and so it is best to find out their
favorite colors and use this with an
other that harmonizes. Pink, yellow,
blue or red with white make charming
ones. First you select the widths ex-
actly alike, for ribbon marked with
the same number do vary a trifie, and
then you weave them just as you did
the little squares of two colors of paper
that you made in the kindergarten.
When two of these squares are finished
YOU will probably have to call for a
little help in the sewing together, for
the top and bottom should be exactly
alike and the seams done quite evenly.
A little space should be left at the
middle of the fourth side, so that the
covering may be turned right side out
and the stufflng slipped in. A rosette
of the two colors of ribbon makes a
suitable decoration for one corner of
the cushion.
Gold and silver ribbons please the
youthful worker and delight the re-
cipient, so that at least one little gift
made OF this should be added to the
Christmas treasure store. These are
better for sachets and articles that do
not have to serve as pincushions. Heart

Uncle Sam and His NepheWs

and render aid to the sufferers, as San
Franciscans know full well.
To his nephews who have been SOL
diers and fought for him in his days
Of stress Uncle Sam is bountiful. He
pensions them when disabled or when
too old to earn living; he gives them
fine homes for their declining years;
he gives them the preference ia ap-
pointments to his civil service; he pro-
vides for the widows and children of
those who are slain; he even provides
wooden legs and glass eyes for those
who have lost those members in his
service.
He stocks our streams with fish; he
irrigates our arid lands to make them
fertile: he preserves our forests he
maintains a quarantine Gordon around
our shores to prevent the introduction
Of pestilence from abroad.
These are but a few things done by
Uncle Sam, who is ever on the alert
to advance the interests OF his big
family.

Easily Made Christmas Gifts

shaped ones are attractive, and they
seem to suggest more sentiment than
square and cornered ones. Three
pretty little golden hearts made of rib
bon and tied together with narrower
bits of gold will make a most accept
able gift. Each little golden section
should be stuffed and scented with cot
ton wool before the heart is fastened
at the top.
Even the littlest boys and girls use
coat hangers now, so they can make
presents of this kind for each other,
as well as for their older friends and
members of the family. The hangers
themselves come in all sizes, from the
baby ones up to hangers large enough
to hold their fathers greatcoat. The
frames should first be padded we'll with
cotton wool and then this should be
scented. The case is made of of wider
ribbon gathered together on the edge
like bag, so that it will slip over the
two horizontal pieces. 1t is quite SIM
pie to fasten these to the center of the
hanger, and when this is done the
hook part should be wound tightly
with narrow satin ribbon TO match the
flower or the check in the wider piece
1t is better to start at the top to wind,
and when the ribbon has been brought
down to the two projecting parts it can
be cut off and secured firmly by tying
a bow around the hanger.
Handkerchief cases are always use
full, and they soil quickly, so that
Christmas time is an excellent occasion
to have the old ones replaced. The
lowered gold ribbons are pretty for
these, and they can be made like little
sack, with the open ends fringed and
turned back, or a piece of very wide
sash ribbon folded to form a square
and sewed is convenient to get at and
quite simple to make. The open ends
may be turned in a hem and a bow of
narrower gilt ribbon fastened on top, or
they may be fringed and laid over on
the right side with bow for orna-
mentation.

Lillias Gray started guilty. as she
realized in a moment that she had
been eavesdropping, and stole away
with burning cheeks and thoughts of
Florence Brown that she had never had
before.
The day for the closing exercises
came at last, and the assembly room
was crowded with friends and parents
of the pupils. Among them Florences
aunts, Mrs. Hughes and her sister
Julia. The former was attired in her

worn bonnet and cotton gloves that

rose in her hair. was great contrast
to Florence. She read her essay first,
and as she mounted the steps to the
platform ripple of admiration ran
through the crowd.
In order to be impartial to the girls
the same subject had been assigned to
both.
The gavel sounded and a hushed
silence pervaded the room as Lillias
stepped forward and bowed. She be-
gan reading, and as paragraph after
paragraph was read looks of amaze
ment were exchanged among the audi
ence
Could this be Lillias Gray, the petted,
fattered brilliant young lady of the
seminary. making such decided fail
ure? Heretofore she had always ac-
quilted herself with honors, but today
this was failure, pure and simple.
Everybody was glad when she was
through, and there was only faint
handicap. Lillias walked to her seat
with burning cheeks and eyes cast
down.
The next number was called and
Florence walked up as in a dream.
She was SO filled with the theme of her
essay that the crowd was lost in a
mist AS she read from line to line
her soul breathed forth its sentiment,
and when the last sentence was fin
ished the applause burst forth with
such enthusiasm that there was no
doubt in the mind of any one present
as to whom the prize belonged.
As Miss Mills called her to receive
it all the girls gazed at her in amaze
ment; they scarcely recognized in the
bright eyed rosy faced girl with the
long red curls the Florence of old.
AT least two in the audience guessed
how happy Florence was at that mo-
ment-the pale faced aunt and Lillias
Gray
After the crowd had dispersed, Lillias
went up to Florence. threw her arms
about her neck and said, I'm so glad
you won the medal dear
Then, before Florence could reply,
she rushed out of the hall and away
from school.

near the Pacific coast.

When Refining Was Needed.

God knows Just when specially So
we're afiiiction is needed, and He times
its sending accordingly We may not
always feel that He has chosen the
best time; but we may safely trust
Him in this. Two men who bore
heavy responsibilities, and who had
come to a time SO critical that their
proper discharge of those responsible
tiles meant the difference between
failure and success for themselves
and many others, were both con-
fronted, borne down, and well-nigh
overcome, by entirely unforeseen and
extraordinary affiiction. Asking each
other why God had seen best TO per-
nit this added burden, when their
efficiency in His service so plainly de-
manded that they should be at their
best, the only reasonable conclusion
they could arrive at was that God had
probably done this in order to i'm
prove the quality Of their work at
time when quality was most needed.
And the outcome seemed to justify
their belief. God plans nothing but
blessings for us all; but answering
confidence in His love is our only
sure title to the blessing. Sunday

Hint For Papering. .

In papering any room it should be
remembered that light is the first
consideration, and that the paper
must be chosen accordingly.
Pure white is the best choice when
a specially light room is wanted, as 1t
absorbs only about fifteen per cent.
of the light thrown upon it. Dark
green, on the other hand, is the great
est consumer of light, absorbing about
eighty-fve per cent.
Next to white as a light-producer
are the soft pastel tints and light
blues, which absorb from twenty to
twenty-five per cent. of the light;
then comes orange, at thirty per
cent; apple and gray greens, almost
fifty per cent, and the popular brown
is almost as bad as dark green, as it
takes up about siXty-five to seventy
per cent. of the light it should throw
out.-New York Press.
