you see in every theater and restau-
rant sitting up to all hours of the night
and dissipating in the most perfectly
ridiculous way. And here's poor Mr..
| Uisterbee condemned to absolute So
briefly in his prime"
II think you take a very cynical
view of the matter, my DEAR" Aunt
Jane objected.
Perhaps I do" Mrs. Merriwid con-
ceded; "but there are 80 very many
men who think it's awfully wrong to
drink because 1t gives them such per-
fectly terrible headaches, and who
daren't smoke because smoking Is a
filthy, disgusting and expensive habit
Uisterbee may be truly repentant,
honey, but suspect his liver has more
to do with his reformation than any
conviction of sin.
apart from that, i don't like people
with shady pasts." Mrs. Merriwid con-
tinued. "a shady past always sug-

and malaria and jungle fever. l like

Hooking dresses isn't all there is
to married life, is it, my dear?" asked
Aunt Jane. gently.
Poor dear Henry Merriwid used to
intimate that it was," replied her
niece. "Well. Henry couldn't order a
dinner intelligently. but he could eat
one all right, especially if it happened
to be corned beef and cabbage He
was exceedingly partial to corned beef
and cabbage, poor Henry was. You
wouldn't have called him interesting
and elegant, either. but he didn't have
any past and never raised enough wild
oats to make a dish of mush."
"Of course bad health is an objec-

"Oh, it isn't Mr.. Uisterbee's bad

Mrs. Merriwid. Its the awful thought

Renaissance Of Poetry,

That there is today-whatever may
have been the case few years ago
an increasing public which is eagerly
on the lookout for new volumes of
worthy verse by present day writer's
is evidently recognized by those whose
business it is to know what literary
wares are in current demand; and we
must no longer be asked to believe
that any bard of really appreciable
talent need languish in enforced ST.
lence through inability to find a pub
Usher. AS for the cause of this agree
ably unexpected revival, l am myself
inclined to look for it-though this
may sound paradoxical-in the very
conditions which make it so surpris-
ing. What mean is that believe the
working of the law of reaction to have
set up revived hankering after
poetry as kind of respite from the
ultra-prosaic materialism and "prac-
ucalism," If one may coin such
word of every day life in this ma
chine ridden twentieth century,

MELISSA WOULD NOT BE A HAR.
VEST HAND.

Men are not angels, my dear Me-
lissa." observed Mrs. Merriwid's mater
nal maiden Aunt Jane, threading her
embroidery needle with strand of
moss-green silk and simpering a little
as she spoke.
".A little lower than the angels we
are told. believe" agreed Mrs. Merri-
wild. whose nimble white fingers were
occupied with French knots. "I should
say that Mr.. Uisterbee was quite a few
notches below the angelic standard.
That's what makes him SO extremely
entertaining"
Exactly what / say" remarked
Aunt Jane, with an air of triumph.
But considered as matrimonial
proposition"
"Yes?" said Aunt Jane.
well. you know what people say
about him."
People exaggerate." said Aunt Jane.
"At all events, nobody can find any
fault with his conduct now"
81 suppose not" mused Mrs. Merri-
wild, "and suppose he has been just
as much sinned against as SHINING"
mo doubt of It." said Aunt Jane.
"And it's natural that a man should
SOW his wild oats"
There are very few who do not. I'm
afraid" sighed Aunt Jane. 1.-THE great

hing is that he is reformed" she
added.
And they say reformed rake
makes the best husband" Mrs. Merri-
wild supplemented.
Aunt Jane said she had always
heard so and was disposed to think it
true.
Mrs. Merriwid laughed. "You love-
ly darling!" she exclaimed.
81 didn't think you knew how to
wink, and here you are fiuttering both
eyes at Mr.. Uisterbee's frailties. II a
bad, naughty man wants a charitable
judgment of his iniquities, his one best
bet is certainly the nice, innocent
lady who doesn't know what iniquity
is. / believe you would approve of
our engagement. You would. wouldn't
your"
81 don't see any good reason why !
should disapprove." replied Aunt Jane.
Il believe that I'll take you down
town with me this afternoon and get
your eyes examined, dearie," said Mrs.
Merriwid. DO you mean to tell me
that you haven't seen the bilious tinge
in Mr.. uisterbee's complexion? !?
Haven't you noticed the lines around
his mouth and the dark pouches un-
der his eyes, and the little network of
red veins in his handsome nose-or
how unsteady his hand is? My dear, a
rake never reforms until it has lost
all its teeth, believe me. When that
happens, you may use what's left of it
for some domestic purpose, but you
won't find 1t satisfactory. A rake is
a rake just the same as a spade is a
spade. AS for sowing wild oats, that
wouldn't be SO bad IL n man had to
harvest his crop himself. The trou-
BILE is that his family and friends al
ways have to turn in and help and
there's never any telling when the job
is done. Another thing, there's never
year when a clump isn't apt to
spring up in some fence corner and
seed another patch somewhere else. /
don't know much about agriculture,
oats are meaner and harder to get out
of the ground than Canada thistles."
81 don't know what Canada thistles
are, but think if man is sincerely
sorry for the errors of his past and
tries to lead a better life, it is our
duty to help him" Aunt Jane said
this very seriously.
''I think he's sorry for the errors of
the past" replied Mrs. Merriwld.
Poor mani It's pretty hard on him
TO be obliged to lead a strictly tenn
perate and virtuous existence at his
time of life. II he had only been vici-
