THE LITTLE BLUE SCARF

Telka believed that she should have been happy sitting on the doorstep that lovely Sunday afternoon.
 The large family of children dp- stairs had gone on an excursion for one day, taking Telka's noisy brothers with them, so there was none to dis pute her possession of the narrow doorway. Inside, her mother and father had ceased their quarreling and were dozing in their chairs. So the house and even the street were un- usually quiet, and Telka felt that she should have been we'll content.
 But she wasn't happy at all. Indeed, she was almost in tears.
 A bimonthly dance at the settlement house was near at hand. and there was no one to take her to that festiv- ity. To be sure. she could go with some of the girls; but her heart and her pride called for the company of big John.
 So attentive had he been until four months ago that even now none Of the other boys would dream of inviting her. Telka almost wished that big Johns great good luck had not come. for before he had been appointed to the small political job as part of the ward organizations distinction which spelled the acme Of success on their street-he would have been eager to take Telka anywhere. Now, how ever. with plenty of money in his pocket, he scoTned to g to the dances at the settlement house-even called them charity" spent his dolars freely each Saturday night at the sa- loon dance haiS
 It Is true that at first he had invited Telka to these dance halls, but after she had declined and had tried to per suade him not to go he ceased asking her to accompany him and went gayly with crowd of boon companions At times she had to struggle with herself. for the fear that big John might find some girl he liked who would not Scrup.e 10 dance in saloons almost overcame her instinctive dread of such places and her love for the settle ment lady" who would be grieved at her lack of prudence.
 So, though the day was fair and un. usually quiet, Telka could not be happy.
 And as she sat and brooded she saw down In the next block John and his admiring friends sauntering in her di rection. She darted into the house rummaged under the staircase and dragged out a pasteooard box It was not exactly a treasure chest. but its contents were very dear to Telka

BISHOP MAY RESIGN


II the RI Rev. Arthur S. Lloyd,
bishop coadjutor OF Virginia, accepts
the presidency OF the domestic and
foreign mission board OF the Episcopal
Church TO which he was elected Thurs
day afternoon at the general conven-
ton in Cincinnati, he will y ost prob
ably give up his bishopric duties in
Virginia. In fact, il is stated by Rich
mond churchmen that il he accepted
he would undoubtedly resign his present
office, owing to the arduous duties that
90 with the head Of the mission board.
He would however, retain his title OF
bishop.
Official news OF Bishop Lloyd's eleva-
ton to the head OF the board, which has
been reorganized during the sessions OF
the convention, reached Richmond
Thursday night in a telegram to Rev.
DIR. w. Meade Clark, rector Of St.
James Church, and member of tbs
mission board, who returned home
from the convention several days ago.
The wire message stated that Bishop
Lloyd's election created warm enthu-
siasm in the convention.
What action Bishop Lloyd will take
in the matter is not known at this time,
but it is known that he will give it his
most serious consideration before reach
ing a decision.
Prior to his election as coadjutor to
Bishop Gibson last year, Bishop Lloyd
served for more than ten years as gen
eral secretary of the mission board,
with headquarters at New York, and 1t
was only after declining bishOprics in
several other parts OF the country that
he finally agreed to become bishop
coadjutor Of Virginia at considerable
pecuniary sacrifice
Bishop Lloyd Is regarded as easily
the highest authority on missions I'D
the Episcopal Church in America and
possesses executive ability i'll the high
est degree. Last spring he was elected
a member Of the domestic and foreign
board TO fill a vacancy.
Before going into mission work he
was rector Of St. Luke's Church, Nor
folk. Since returning to Virginia he has
made his home in Alexandria.
Hitherto the general secretary OF the
mission board has been in entire change
Of the work. That Office, under the
reorganization, is now abolished, with
the executive duties vested in the newly
created office of president.
1t is understood that the latter Office
carries tenure of tx years and that
the president may succeed himself at
the expiration of that time, if he so
wishes.
In event Bishop Lloyd decides to
give UP his duties in Virginia, another
coadjutor to Bishop Gibson would doubt
less be chosen at the Virginia diocesan
convention next spring, and it may be
that a special session Of the convention
would be called for that purpose
Richmond Virginian.
Bishop Lloyd has not yet reached his
home in this city SO his intentions on
the above matter are not known here.
