"Woman's sphere has been circum-
scribed, / admit. We have falsely de-
fined her function in the term moth
err We have taken an inherent func-
ton and limited her activities in
service to society by so doing. Wom-

ton of an efficient citizenship. She
should be permitted to do any and all
things necessary to the attainment of
that ideal. There are functions yet
unknown, yet undiscovered, for which
women are particularly fitted.
Women have a new sphere to dis
cover in their functional activity. In
industry, in shop, in store, in school,
or in home, there are untitled functions

DAY OF THE BUTLER PASSING
Arrogance, lnsoIence and Ignorance
Are the Causes an English
man Gives.

Mrs. Golightly rejoices in her butler
and Second inside man." She wishes
to run her household on the English
plan, or she remembers Mrs. Edith
Wharton's earlier stories in which a
butler always figures, also a bishep.
But we learn from England, writes
Philip Hale in the Boston Herald,
that the reign of the butler is passing.
A rash journalist ascribed his undo
ing to his arrogance, insolence and
ignorance.
w. Holloway, who describes him
self as a butler, answers in a gallant
manner. Dealing with illogical wom-
en- does not conduce to a compatibility
of temper or efficiency. A lot Of
money is wasted on finery, while a
request for the house, such as clean
ing utensils, is greeted with black
looks and Why do they wear out?'
And Mr.. Holloway remarks that If
the old type of butler has deteriorat-
ed so has the old type of gentry. Do
nestle service is not worth the can
die; the navy is to be preferred. AS
for gambling and drinking below
| stairs, upstairs sets the example"
Is it possible that the old family,
crusted, equity butler in England is
passing? In the old fashioned plays
he was delighted with his Il have
known master, forty years, man and
boy" etc.; and there are fine buffers
in fiction. One Of the best is the
father of Ethelberta in Thomas Har'
dy's romance, who is proud of his
daughters literary fame and enjoys
the discussion about her while he
stands near the dining table. Then
there is the butler in Our Mutual
Friend" who pours out the wine witt
the air of a disappearing analytical
chemist.
We do not see how any American
who in his boyhood saw all at table
helping themselves, spearing a potato
or a doughnut with a fork, or asking
a neighbor to hurry up and pass the
butter, can view his butler or hi'
valet without a quavering voice and
trembling of the knees. Octave Mir

WOMAN Of HONOR
BY MAY ENDIcoTT.

my wife," said John Andrews to
his stenographer, SIS a good woman,
and it would break her heart to real
lie what / have long since realized
that we were never meant for each
other"
Esther Sinclair made no reply, but
bent over her notes. Only the height
ened color in her face revealed her
emotion.
She did not like to hear her employ
er speak ~slightingly of the pretty, sim
pie little woman who had once come
into his office, spoken kindly to her,
and chartered in her irresponsible
way until it was time FOR her husband
to take her home. Yet, after all, Els
Their had long ago realized that there
could be little in common between her
and Andrews, whose forceful PERSONAL
ity demanded that sympathetic under
standing which 1t was not Mildred An
drew's to give.
They tive had been associated to
gether in Andrews work for nearly
six months. She had liked him in
s~tinctively the moment she set eyes
on him, and he had singled her GU
from among a host of applicants, ap
parently without a moments hesita
ton. He trusted in her completely IL
her share of the difficult work which
he performed as secretary to the chem
ical company.
But her woman's instinct had surel,
told her, during recent weeks, tina
something more than esteem wa
growing up between them. This wa
the first occasion On which Andrew
had ever limited at domestic unhapp'
ness. She knew the depth and inter
sity of his nature.
She went home to pass an almos
sleepless night. She reviewed all he
past. She was already thirty years c
age; no love worthy of the name ha
ever come into her life. And she coul
not hide from herself the knowledg
that Andrews aWd she were made fc
one another. She could give him sue

head, born. perhaps, Of the delirium
through which she had passed. She
took her pen again and wrote him an
ELUSIVE, foolish letter such as must,
she knew, disgust a man Of Andrews's
depth of feeling. 1t ran like this:
Dear friend of mine.
'TYour letter is no surprise to me.
I, too, love you. o, the s~acredness
and mystery Of such sublime love as
oursi l have been waiting ever
since l saw you for you to tell me
that you were not Indifferent to me.
You are the most wonderful man in
the world to me, you are my god, with
your tall. straight figure and magni-
ficent eyes. And your hair curls In
just the way that / have always liked
a mans hair to curl. Now that l
know you love me my heart beats SO
fast it makes me dizzy. l am look
ing forward a thousand times a day
to our next meeting, when you can
kiss me again like you did that time
and tell me that l am wholly yours
for ever"
No one could imagine what it cost
Esther in ~self-respect to write that
letter. And when it was written she
sent the landlady's daughter out to
mail it, lest she should be compelled
to recall it.
1t was the memory of little Mrs
Andrews that enabled her to accom-
plish her task. And when she had
finished a great peace came into hel
heart. She knew now that it was if
r~eparable, that never again need she
see Andrews, that he would seek, ant
perhaps find in his wife's love those
qualities which he had discovered IL
her.
On the following evening a lette'
was received by her in answer. In
Andrews said briefly that he was sail
ing for Europe with his wife, upon
three months holiday. He enclose'
her a check for her salary during tina
period and regretted that there woul,
be no further need for her services.
Esther tore up the check as she dc
stroyed Andrews's letter. Then sh
sent out for a newspaper and studio

devotion as was his need, If once she
let herself dwell upon the image of him
that was enshrined in her heart.
She fought against this awakening
love. Day after day found her on her
guard, lest by a chance word, even
a look, she should betray herself. And
so the days passed,
1t happened at last, though. The
struggle was an intense one. She
had not realized how it had depleted
her of her strength. She had fought,
fought, in the hope of being able to
retain her position there, and the in
evitable reaction came. Rising to go
home one evening, she suddenly fell
to the floor in a dead faint created by
utter exhaustion.
And when consciousness anne back
to her she found herself seated in a
chair and Andrews bending over her,
and his lips were pressed to hers, and
his hands clasped hers tightly; and
she, too weak to resist, lay there pass
lively in his arms.
At last she gathered strength to
rise. She stood up; she looked at
him and he at her. Both realized the
tragic nature of the passion that had
come into their lives. Neither spoke,
for there was nothing to say.
Goodnight, Mr.. Andrews" she
said at last, moving with an effort to-
ward the door.
He bowed his head and she went
home. Not to rest, though. All night
she lay in a fever, and in the morn.
ing she was flushed and delirious, and
for many days thereafter unconscious
Of realities.
Andrews had left flowers for her ev'
cry day, and once, after she began to
mend, little Mrs. Andrews called on
her and spoke of how much her hus
band valued her and Of the gay that
her illness had created in his work
When the little woman had gons
Esther vowed that the past SHOULD
be forgotten.
But this was not to be. A letter
came from Andrews, full of passion
ate love. He must see her, he said
Life without her had become uhbear
able. Their lives must lie together,
and If she tried to escape him h,
would follow her to the ends Of tn,
earth, If necessary, to find her ant
claim her.
Esther read the letter thoughtfully
and ono again the memory Of he
love for him was strong within her
She knew that she loved him, spite o
dishonor. 1t was not the opinion 0
the world for which she cared. Blu
there rose up before her eyes the pic
ture of innocent, pretty, pathetic lii
tie Mrs. Andrews. She could no
prove a traitress to that little woman
whose whole life was wrapped aroun,
the man she loved.
She tore Andrews letter into frae
ments and sat down to compose he
answer. In it she said that they mus
never meet again She acknowledge
her own love for him, Dut--but
She could not finish that letter. Sh
tore It. In pieces also.
Then a wild idea came into he

the departing of the old and the usher
ing in of a new year should be distin-
guished by some observance or cere-
mony appears but natural, and we &C
cordingly find various customs prevail
in different parts Of the country and
of the world. Some are of a sportive
character, others serious, and in 9TH
ers both mirthful and pensive moods
are intermingled.
One of the best-known and most
general of these customs is that Of re-
naming up till II o'clock on the night
of December 81, either in the home,
where q little family party may be
gathered; in the church, where re-
ligious ~''watch-night' service is held,
or on the street, where promenaders
make merry.
In no place in the world is the cele-
bration of New Years eve made of SO
much account as in Philadelphia. In a
great measure this is due to the fact
that it is the Cradle of Liberty" Of the
country, and the bell on Independence
Hall 10 u5Cu W announce bhC o6S u Ian
republic with the dawning of the new
year. Thousands of people congregate
about independence hall, and when the
clock points to midnight and the bell
begins to toll off the years, pandemo-
mum is let loose with the firing of
small arms, the footing of horns and
noises of all characters. The celebra-
ton is carried along all the thorough
fares in the heart Of the city, and es-
p~ecially around the large public build
ings, which are deliberately illuminated.
New Years eve is a favorite occa-
sion for social gatherings in Scotland
and the north of England, and when
the ~eventful hour has struck the guests
all proceed to the house door and un-
bar it with great Formally to "let out
the old and let in the new year"
The making of good resolutions with
the dawning of the new year is a
very old custom, and n which has
no doubt been followed with much
profit. 1t affords a splendid oppor'
tunity to lay aside futile reflections on
past imprudence and mismanagement,
and to resolve for the future to do our
utmost in fulfilling our duty to God
and our fellow-men.

1t tells of another spring approaching,
and who knows but it will prove the
most perfect spring the world has ever
seen? And there is another summer
beyond which may be the ideal sea-

from drought and exces Of rain-just
what summer ought to be.
And with natures new opportunity
to fulfill the hopes Of men and women
comes one more chance for them, one
more great division of time, which is
the measure of life. They meet and
greet it in joy because it is unspoiled,

for a fairer and higher record than
they have ever lived into any twelve
month gone by.
What if the hope of such advance
ment fails Of realization, in the larger
sense, and with few exceptions grows
feebler and DINNER until it dies when
the new year has grown old? There
are exceptions, and they are beacons
lighted for the guidance of humanity
on its upward way. In the glow Of
these triumphs of high endeavor which
enable us all to keep our dreams alive
the world discovers foothold for Its
climbing steps.
