The tale Is told Of that dear lady who

in the veins of her generation with
'tassels on her boots" and the Tilt of
kindred ditties. Her daughter, in con-

tiny old lady, urged upon her the
wearing of wooden stockings. She
sweetly but firmly declined consider

new supply, laid the case before her
son. He saw the point at once and
bought her box of the sheerest,
daintiest, most open-work affairs the
market afforded. To the surprise OF
all, she never wore them. Throughout
the winter and far into the spring she
spoke no more of stockings, but meek
ly wore the ugly wooden ones of her
daughters choice. At last one day her
son asked her why Where he
queried, ARE those pretty things l
bought you?" "Oh, my dear boy" she
