along beside him with her head held
very high, and when spoken TO by a

The mother could tell little more
than the daughter. Yes, the painter
lady was a lady, 1t was easy enough
to see that. She was something of an
artist, but her pictures would not sell.
She had sold most of her wardrobe,
but had fallen behind. The descrip-
tion was right.

with their congregations to help
bring about a revolution in the moral

declaration that the best thing for
