Little one, the time has come
quite close when / shall have you
for my own; SO close that this Is
the last letter l shall be able to
write. Now that it has come, l
don't seem to be afraid any more.
Perhaps it will take me away from
you and oliver altogether; but I
have asked that If l am not to be
allowed to stay. l may stay just
long enough to feel your lips upon
my breast and your head in the
hollow Of my arm. That will be,
I know. For the rest, / can think
of nothing but that | shall at last,
after all the years Of longing, see
your face and feel your little body
In my arms. My heart seems to
be great white flame. because Of
the love that is in 1t, and my body
Is full of gladness because 1t is
giving you to Oliver. Are you 60
ing to be a great little gift, be-
loved? Indeed, l think go. Be
true. and whatever else your life
it, 1t will be that much finer for
1t. because there is nothing really
great that Is not built on truth.
Love Oliver without fear. and give
him your whole confidence, for he
will never abuse it. Little son,
you do not know how much want
you to believe that! And II I am
not there. you will love him for
me. too. won't you? I am afraid

IS IT FINE CLOTHES OR SCHOOL FOR
OUR CIRLS?

Dear Miss Grey-A few days ago
you requested the readers of your
department to suggest some new
topic for that page.
/ have been a constant reader of
The Press for years, have often
been interested in the discussions
c ried on, but have never felt
moved to take part in them until
now.
Knowing how we'll and success
fully you have carried on these
discussions of up-to-date problems,
l wish to suggest another, which |
am sure is of vital interest to
many of your readers.
1t is the question of uniforms for
our high school girls.
How many mothers are almost
in despair just now trying to plan
ways and means to dress their
daughters to look as stylish and
elegant as those girls to whose
parents money seems to be no OBJ
ject.
The girl who comes from a large
family whose only breadwinner
works for a moderate salary, can
not afford a $50 gown and a pic
ture hat every month; consequent
ly she insists on quitting school
and going to work where she can
have her own money to spend for
clothes, and loses the golden OPP
portunity of free(?) education.

stance, of a tailored blouse suit OF

to each other; but If he has you
1t will not hurt kuite so much. Oh.
my darling, though l am not afraid
any more, yet as write my heart
goes out in great longing to live.
There are so many things l could
do for you both that you cannot do
for yourselves; so many ways In
which could be of use to you; for
men, in spite Of their manness,
are in some ways only babies to
the yer end. That is one of the
things that keeps us women low

your need holds us.

little. little thing. God bless you
always. and help you to grow a
man. You will never forget that
l am loving you without ceasing
no matter how far away l may
seem to be. Goodbye, my darling
perhaps it will only be for a little
while. Goodbye.

Australian Commonwealth.
From the Westminster Gazette.


Australia moves swiftly. She is fling
ing her indefinite colonial days OF pic n
eering behind her, and building firmly
and clearly on national lines. Her ut
terance has become coherent. The COM
monwealth has found herself.
The Australians are a htpefuI people,
so hopeful that abroad they are often
charged with bumptiousness. But these
southern Brtishers do not boast about
themselves; their pride Is in their land.
The swagger which is sometimes noticed
when they come to Europe is the swag
ger Of the handful of people who own
whole continent. The Australian. ac-
customed to travel across a land three
quarters Of the size of Europe, ana to be
intercepted by no frontiers, no customs
oficers, and no strange tongues, may be
pardoned for the expression OF SURPRISE
and pride which arieses in him when he
comes north to these little islands OF his
fathers. He steps ashore in the south OF
Italy and travels overland to London.
He traverses countries smaller than q
single one of his six states, and he
knows that they carry tens Of millions OF
people. and that each one is, Or has been,
a great power in the world. Comparisons
leap into his mind. He measures the
productiveness of his southern acres with
the productiveness Of these peasant lands
of Europe: he thinks of his boundless and
various raw material. Then he sees his
land as he never saw it before. His mind
rushes into the future, and the prospect
from the vantage ground OF Europe pos
sesses and intoxicates him. Like men
who suddenly fall in for great unexrect-
ed wealth, he offends the prophecies by
Haunting his prize.
A few years ago Europe did not have
this awakening effect on the Australian
mind. When a man same home from
Victoria or Queensland or one o. the
other colonies In the days before fedora
ton he had not begun to think along ma
tional lines. He came from a colony
which was one Of half dozen colonies,
often busy against each other, and gem
orally proceeding individually and in
definitely. He was accustomed to six
hostile tariffs, to six defense forces, six
postal systems, and much else that made
an Australian national sentiment and
thought impossible. But today all that
has changed. Federation has been
almost miraculouely successful In Aus
tralia. Men Of different political views
NAV disagree about the legislation Il has
Yielded. hut none can question its effect
on the minds OF the people. In ten years
Australia has federated its thoISht The
people have passed from colonials to AUS
tralians.

They Had to Own Bibles.

From the London Globe.
The first Bible printed in Scotland was
issued complete in 1919. In the same year,
by act OF parliament, every gentleman
householder and others worth thrie hun

and every woman and burgess with G5OO,
