by finding that. though the ideal has
grown, it has never radically changed:
though in the course of ages it has
had superfluous accretions that have
been Topped off again. it remains es-
sentially one growth. Harper's Weekly
says. The heartening part of the whole
matter is that humanity. in the voice
of its wise men. has never ceased de-

Young man" inquired her father,

the one she has been used tor
No. replied the truthful sutton,
for there will be no grumpy father TO
come home and make everyone mis-
cradle by his kicking over trifies and
swearing at matters in general. There
will be no mother to scold her from
morning to night for wasting time
merely because she wants TO be neat.
There will be no big brother TO abuse
her for not doing half OF his work, and
no little brother TO make enough noise
to drive her crazy when her head
aches. There won't be any younger
sister to insist on reading some trashy
novel while she does all the work.
