Meanwhile Minnie looked very pretty
in her fluffy white dress.

you people are certainly swell cooks,
Minnie. l bet you helped your mother
do most of this, now, didn't you? Say,
that cake-did you bake it,
Minnie was young, but she was wise.
She smiled seraphically. I'm SO glad
you like the supper, Alf," she told him,
smoothly. If she had died for it she
could not have told who had really
cooked the supper-she had been too
busy thinking of him and getting her
gown ready. Let's sit over here out
of the crowd" she added.
That was why a little later in the
evening, when people were talking
hard and the women were trying to
forget the f%atiguing evening they had
put in and mentally eXecrating the
serene Hetty futile, that incompetent
hostess was beaming. She was watch
ing ALT Kreeble and Minnie in their
secluded corner and she could see that
ALI was holding Minnie's hand and
talking very earnestly.

sigh at last and absently rubbed Il

relieve Mrs. futile of some OF the
work.
This was conceded to be a decidedly
clever arrangement, for there was no
use taiking-Hetty futile never could
manage the affair herself. Mrs. DR..
Sprong, who was given the post Of
chairman, began borrowing embroider-
ed lunch cloths Of every one right and
left hat very day, for she knew with
out asking that Mrs. Myron Tuttle
hadn't a couple of dozen laid by, as a
good housekeeper should.
Goodness knows" she mourned,
how we'll ever cook the chickens and
things in her kitchen!"
AS the time for the supper ap-
preached the members Of the Culture
Club took to dropping in on Hetty
futile with cut glass and silver In
their arms. They said they thought
maybe she would find such things Of
use in serving so many. Hetty futile
accepted all these loans %placidly. She
was the least concerned member of
the club. Seemingly, she did not wor-
~ at all over this most important
club function of the year, so every one
else fretted herself into a fever.
Minnie, the Tuttles' 1~9-year-old
daughter, seemed to catch the excite
ment, however. Her mother deferred
to her in a worshipful way and hand
ed all the cut glass owe to her keep
ing.
You go right ahead, Minnie" she
often said in those days. Il guess you
know what is right and can show
'em! guess ALI Kreeble will see your
folks can entertain and do things as
we'll as his, ever II they haven't got
so much money!"
At that Minnie futile would turn
away with reddening cheeks, for she
knew that the main idea behind hay
ing the Culture Club supper at their
home was to dazzle ALI kreeble and
urge him on a trif1e faster. OF late
he had Jagged in his attentions and
Hetty futile could not bear to see her
daughter unhappy. a
The women of the Culture Club will
never forget the night of that annual
supper. Amid all the hurry and tur-
MOL Mrs. Myron futile moved calm
and undisturbed, while Mrs. DR..
Sprong in her black silk, Mrs. Lawyer
White In rafting Jet and half a dozen
others with red faces and glittering
eyes bumped into one another in the
~inconvenie.r kitchen, called wildly for
utensils which were not, exploded at
the discovery that there was no sugar
in the pantry and had Mysteries be-
cause Mrs. futile had forgotten to or
der the special potatoes for baking.
Crowded in the pariors around the
little tables were the elite of the men
folks OF the town, waiting for food.
The tension was terrible. 1t was abso-
lutely unthinkable that the Culture
Club should nave a failure laid at its
door. So while all the club women
except Hetty Tuttle shaved and suffered
and agonized to have things as they
should be nobody noticed how Minnie
Tuttle and ALI Kreeble we're sitting to-
gether cozily on the lower stair. No
body observed that Minnie got ALI Ill

In palace or in cottage,
The city or the clan,
Mother-love is motherlove,
Gods sweetest gift to man.
Mother-love is mother-love

Tbouoh wears corrode all other love
Still mother-love is new,
A bloom that never faileth,
A fruit beyond decay, :, 49,,

However fortunes go,
Mother-love is mother-love
Though tides are high or low,
Though self-respect may falter,
And scorn of life prevail,
Yet mother-love is molher-loVe
And naught shall make it fail.
Mother-love is motherlove
Most like the love of heaven,
Though precious every other love
To erring mortal given;
Strain of immortal music,
Glow Of eternal morn.
Love of all loves is mother-love
Whence all our loves are born:
