with a painful accident last ,Ivening
while visiting at the home of her

At 10 o'clock she started to return 20
her home. AS she was in the act of
descending the outside steps the heel
of her shoe caught on the top one and
she was precipitated TO the walk. She
had her hands in the pockets of her
coat at the time and she could not get
them out in time TO break the force of
her collision with the walk. The re-
suit was that she broke the bone in
her right arm and injured her left one
so severely that il is feared the bone
there is either fractured or splintered.
She was carried back into the house
and given medical attention.

SELF-RESPECT is RESTORED
Rise During Discourse of
Mrs. Society.

He was a fussily important society
college education. But on one occa-
sion he invited young college grad
uate, the daughter of an old friend, to
his house, to take afternoon tea. It
was windy day, and the girl arrived
at his suburban home with her skirts
blown about and her hair tunbling
about her ears, state of affairs of
which she felt guiltily conscious for
the whole of her visit. The lady Of
the house, Mrs. Society, poured tea,
and discoursed of girls in general.
81 agree with dear James," she said,
that a college education is not the
best preparation for the future life of
a young woman" She peered into
the cups to see IL the maid had left
them in good order, and glanced at
her guest, who covered in her seat,
feeling intensely her disheveled con
dition, and dimly wondering if it were
due to her college education.
Mrs. Society, seeing that the offend
ing maid had left dust in the cups.
frowned. II think a college educa-
tion usually units young women for
the finer duties of domestic life"
she said, and blew first in one cup,
and then in the other, to remove the
dust.
At that the college girl felt her
spirits rise to the skies. For" ss

John Bright and the Carpet.

A characteristic story of John
Bright is told by Mrs. T. P. O'Connor
in her new book, II Myself" He was
at dinner one night with an M. P.
whose wife by no means shared her
husbands democratic sentiments.
John Bright was sitting near his hos
tess. and she was rather annoyed at
having him among her smart guests,
and thought to give him a direct
snub, so she said during pause in
the conversation:
"Mr. Bright, this rug, l understand,
was made by you. and | am very dis
satisfied with it. I have only had it
a short time, and it is very Shabby
and badly made"
"Is it?" said Mr. Bright, getting up
deliberately from the table and taking
a silver candelabrum which he put
down upon the floor and, getting
upon his knees. closely examined the
carpet. "You are quite right" he said,
blithely getting up. "it is bad car
pet. and ! will order my firm to send
you another in its place" And then
he calmly resumed his political con
versation and the dinner went on.
