break between those she had supposed
to be lovers. 1t last Ethel concluded
to leave her with this supposition, be-
lieying that it would tighten her disap-
pointment at the dreaded confession.
New Years day dawned bright and
beautiful, with the mercury down
among the small figures. At IL o'clock
III the morning John Rathbone called.
Ethel before taking him to her moth
er's room led him into the library.
john h said, Il don't think it

We'll, this affair, whatever 1t is. Let
us make our confession today, and YOU
can tell her Of your happiness later.
Besides, | fancy she is not SO certain,
as she was that it is settled between
YOU and me. Still, l see no necessity
for forcing too much upon her at
once"
1t is very thoughtful of you, Ethel,
but want to have it all oyer at once."l

Ethel led the way to her mothers
room. The old lady was seated before,
q blazing wood fire, the flames Of
which danced and glistened on a pair,
of old fashioned brass andirons. John
took n of her hands and Ethel the!
other. Then they both kissed her,
wishing her "a happy New Year."
After a few remarks appropriate to
the day John began the confession.
Mother dear"-it was the first time
he had thus addressed her-"Ethel and
l have done very wrong. We are going
to confess on this first day Of the new

With Your EYES Shut.

1t is difficult to judge distance and
the whereabouts of anything with your
eyes shut. Place a piece Of paper on
the tloor before you and, shutting your
eyes, try to tread on it, then try TO
pick it up. Stick a pin in the wall
about four feet up and try to pick it
out. Stand about six feet away from a
table, shut your eyes and try to walk
up to it without knocking against it.
