| rad weather did not succeed in in
erfering with the enthusiasm of the
[esper service held at the Y w C. A.
Sunday afternoon. "The Girl Who
pOesn't care" was the topic thorough
N discussed.
Mrs. H. C. Brown as the principal
sneaker, considered the question as a
Starting point for the meeting, why
Il It a Girl doesn't Care?'
Mrs. Mcdowell in answer replied
|that the don't care spirit is found in
the little child, who is inclined to say
h doesn't care for a thing when it
really does. The fullest development
F Of this spirit is found between the
ages of IL ard 15 years.
Too often the habit of not caring is
| left uncorrected by the parent in the
| homes and it grows with age.
The don't care girl of the well-to
40 class feels herself irresponsible on
account of riches and sells her wom-
anhood for pleasure. AS an instance
the cigarette parlors of rich women
| in the east today was given by the
| speaker.
The middle class girls fault OF not
caring lies in the fact that she either
tries to mimic those who are her SUI
perior in wealth or failing to keep
with the upper, falls to morals of the
lower. There are fewer don't care
girls in this class than either, Mrs
| Mcdowell said, because the mothers
| Of the middle chs are usually strong
er in mind and character.
In the laboring class of the girl
. who doesn't care, we are apt to find
her environments what ought not to

Mrs. r. w. Lilley in speaking OF
! the mental condition of the girl who
| doesn't care said that it is ordinarily
| at low ebb. On the other hand the
uncaring girl is apt to put all her en-
ergies into acquiring intellect and
| leaving out the spirit of ii. or neglects
knowledge of better things entirely
as her environments might be.
Miss Annie Parsons in answering the
topic, "How we are Responsible fol

A great deal of interest is being
taken in the free lecture on trees to
be given tomorrow, Tuesday, evening
at the Washington school, 9th and

One of the officers of the CONNER

pie as cheap power, low freight rates

That other progressive cities are
spending thousands of dollars to make
themselves attractive in this direction
and that the first consideration should
be given to the streets in the way oil

The Dashing Colonel

Miss Deborah Kittery, Lady Lathrops sister, was an old maid of the most un- compromising tory principles, and made Horace learn "The Twelve Good Rules of the Most Blessed Martyr, King Charles of Blessed Memory
 The children were immensely impressed by the Easter services in the Old North church and filled with wonder at the style in which the Kittery's lived
 They were also much impressed by Col. Ellery Davenport, late of the Continental army, a flashing young man. who had spent much time in France since the close of the war and had but lately returned from that country. He was a grandson of Jonathan Edwards and a cousin of the Kitterys.
 He was of naughty yet graceful ca,- riage, a perfect man of the world. hand some as an Apollo, and was the first specimen of the kind that the children had ever seen.
 He at once caught the imagination Of Tina, and as for Horace, he felt in his presence a painful contrast of attraction and repulsion. as if the colonel had been some beautiful but dangerous animal married an heiress-concerning whose mental state people whispered and shook their heads

Lady Frankland's Story

Horace sat listening intently to all the conversations. His imagination was unduly developed-he liked to in- vest stories and tell them to his play mates-and this talk of haunted houses and of Sir Harry and Lady Frankand seemed to him a part of some story he might have invented.
 They both repented bitterly" said the quiet Miss Mehitable. and if God forgives such sins why should not we?'
 What is the. story" asked Major Broad.
 Why" replied Aunt Lois. have you not heard of Agnes Surridge of Marble head? She was housemaid in a tav- ern there and Sir Harry fell in love with her and took her and educate ed her and brought her to his house in Boston. and called her his daughter.
 People refused to have anything to do with her. So he bought this splen- did place out in the woods and built a great palace of a house and took Miss Agnes out there. People who wanted to be splendidly entertained and were not particular as to morals used b go to visit them.
 Then he took her to England, but his friends there refused to visit her and so he was appointed ambassador to Lls5on and took Agnes out there.
