Mrs. Dillpeck was so preoccupied
that she sailed the coffee and favored

tainly something was wrong with
Ida! The child's conduct was unnat-

worried.
After dinner, when Ida had depart

II don't feel right about Ida. She
seems well, but I'm afraid she's COM

"Pooh!" said Dillpeck. "She looks
well and happy to me! She's all
right!'
"You haven't got the eyes of a moth

Mrs. Dilpeck paused with her hand
in the air over her daughters dresser,
paralyzed for the moment. She had
wandered in as usual to Danish the
disorder which Ida always left be-
hind her and for the first time that
her mother could remember there was
nothing to straighten up. The top Of
the dresser was in precise array, not
showing even a collar bow or a hair
pin thrown down carelessly. The mir
ror surface itself was busted.
WELL" breathed Mrs. Dillpeck.
"Wellw
The phenomenon came back to her
mind several times that day, but Ida
was downtown shopping, so Mrs. Dill
peck said nothing. In fact, all her
life Mrs. Dillpeck had said nothing.
For one reason, Ida was so very
pretty that the sternest resolutions
melted to treacle at her smile and it
was easier to follow around doing
the things Ida should have done than
to scold her about the omission. And
then, to her mother. Ida was still a
mere child, who doubtless would re-
form when she grew up.
Asking in a rather hopeless way
that afternoon whether Ida remem-
bered to get the silk she wanted and
receiving an affirmative answer from
that young person, Mrs. Dillpeck was
actually alarmed.
Does your head ache, Lida?" she
inquired. you are sure you aren't
feverish or anything?"
"Good gracious, no." her daughter
told her. 81 never felt better! WhyY"
Nothing" said her mother.
There's so much sickness around. I
just hope you aren't going to be
sick"
Two days later Mrs. Dillpeck had
another shock. Entering the library,
she found her daughter rearranging
the tables and chairs.
Don't you think it looks homer
this way, mother?" asked Ida.
Up to that time Ida, with her
laughter and harumscarum ways, ap-
parently had never observed whether
the chairs we're placed on the ceiling
or side walls, not to mention the floor.

THE BLIGHT OF DIVORCE.
By Cardinal Gibbons.

Government figures show divorces are null
tiplying about three times as fast as the
population. They disclose that one marriage
in twelve ends in divorce. Men and women
enter the marriage state without regard for
the sacred nature Of the bond they are under
taking. They look too much upon life with
regard only to what they can get out of it,
and with too little regard for that solemn

WHAT IS MANI THE HINDUs ANSWER.

In one pithy line an Indian writer has
expressed the essence Of his faith: Brahman

Brahman and nothing else. Thus, for the
Indian sages, man as we'll as nature is an
incarnation Of the divine. an involution of
God and they conceived evolution as the

divine source Involution and evolution were
