The visitor entreated her to let her enter. which she did aEter much persuasion. There was actually nothing in the room save ooden box. around which sat three naked children. and they were nunching some crustS of bread. But where do you sleep" asked the ViSi- tor. and the woman led her into an other room where there was nothing but pile of straw. She pointed to it and said, 'oThere!" The visitor hurried away and went to a store. where she selected two beds, com fortable mattresses. sheets, blankets, pillows. etc, and when she told the manager of the store whom they were for, and asked for bill he replied, Madam. there is no bill" The visi- tor then went to a provision store and purchased a lot of food, and she also secured clothing. The next day she called again upon the poor wo-
 man and had the joy of seeing her and her children under their improv- cd conditions. Tt was almost the happiest hour of my life" the visitor remarked as she told of the incident. Lady" and loaf giver" used to be synonymous because the lady in a castle was accustomed to go to her door at a certain time to give loaves ot~ bread to the poor who would come 10 the castle gate. To help the poor is still the gentlest work a lady can. do. She proves her right to the title by doing it. She cannot be a true lady if she is not a friend of the poor. Let her study wise ways of doing it, so that while she gives re- lief to the bodies of the poor she is uplifting them by leading them into ways of self-helpfulness. = Christian Herald.
