In the end her faith and persistence

armor was of silvery white in token OF
her purity, but she wore no helmet. and
her girlish head crowned with fair hair
was q more glorious oritiamme than any
white plume of Navarro. In a vision she
was told that a sword lay in tomb near
the high altar of St. GATHERINGS Church.
That saint was her patron-the sword
must be hers. So the tomb was opened
and the sword found. Duly cleaned and
in scabbard of crimson velvet broidered
with the lilies of France. il was hung
by her side. Her standard was of white.

Strictly she held to her belief that hers
was holy war and should be waged in
godly wise Stout old Oliver Cromwell
long afterward discovered that God-fear-
ing men made the best soldiers, but the
Maid of Orleans anticipated him. Her SOL
diers believed in her. Priests and ex-
horters followed the army. Never did
the churches so resound with the clash
of arms. never were the confessionals SO
crowded with suppliants for forgiveness.

SERVANT e.

Mr.. Glenfaddle started out about
two weeks before Christmas to solve
the servant problem.
The trouble with women" he said
to his wife, lis that they don't go at
the thing right This trouble will
never be settled until It is settled by
diplomacy, and diplomacy is a thing
that, / am sorry to say, doesn't come
natural to women. Servant girls are
only human-that's a thing which Is
too often forgotten. Treat your girls
kindly and they will stand by you.
That's the rule I go by in my busi-
ness affairs. What kind Of time do
you suppose l would have with the
men in my Office If tried to manage
them as a woman manages the help in
her kitchen? Why, I'd always have
to keep breaking in new people.
Now let me give you a few point,
ers. Get something nice for the girl
on Christmas-something that you
would be glad TO have yourself. Most
women give their servants few
cheap trinkets that serve no other
purpose than to show the girls that
they are put away down in the social
scale.
Instead Of getting her ten-cent
comb or a new contrivance to scrape
the crumbs OF the dining.room table,
buy her a nice present this year. Give
her something she will be proud to
show to her friends. Then, you see,
they will get to envying her and com.

what she got from us. and what'n be
