in your future. You cannot see to
read it well. The light is very bad
in this corner. That-or. something
makes it seem blurred to your Wis
ion. But you know what it says.
The letter is not long, and each word
is written in your heart. You do not
need to keep it-but you carefully
lay it with the pile of treasures to
be retained.
There is another one which you do
not even attempt to read. 1t is from
your mother, and you do not feel
that your strength is sufficient even
now for you to read the dear hand
writing.
This brief one, in the boyish hand,
from the little brother so long lost
you read it with a tenderly reminis-
cent look in your eyes. 1t was writ
ten you once when you were away
from home on Visk, and you re-
call that this letter hastened your
return, because he said that the old
dog looked lonesome, and didn't
seem to enjoy his meals, while you
were gone.
Down in one corner of the box you
find an envelope, containing a date
and few dried flowers. There are
other envelopes, also containing flow
ers, each with a different date.
You smile as you realize that the
flowers and the dates are alike mean
ingless to you; that they have had
no real influence upon your life. But
because you know that at one time
they were important to you, because
you know that they belonged to that
period of your young ladyhood, they,
too, are carefully replaced.
Finally, you kneel beside a small
chest and open it, There is a light
in your eyes which was not there on
that one perfect evening; a light
which all the centuries of time can
not obliterate.
Here is a tiny dress, into which
your fingers wrought the highest
hopes and inspirations that ever come
to a woman. 1t was made for your
first born. And here is a wee shoe.
and there is quaint little sacque.
Tenderly you view your treasures,
smooth out the creases and brush off
the dust which has accrued to them.
Each one sings song to your an
swering heart-a lullaby.
The sun declines and twilight sad
ness steals over the attic, yet still
you sit with your treasures around
you. The wearers of the tiny gar
ments are scattered-yet all that
made your motherhood remains.
Nothing can rob you of the sweet
ness and the deep happiness that it
has given you.
With the sigh of personal renun-
ciation that every mother. sooner or
later experiences, you have carefully
replaced the treasures in the little
trunk.
You turn at the door of the attic
to survey the extent of the prom
ised clearing out of rubbish; and, if
you have saving sense of humor,
you smile at your weakness
smile all the more courageously, be-
cause there is lump in your throat.

OLD THINGS NEW "

Take any old chair in the house, even
though it looks like wreck of its former
self, and give it coat of JAp-A-LAc. You
will say, Il never thought that old chair
could look so fne." JAP-A-LAc makes
old things new.

Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-05-29

You have been cleaning house this
week. The rhythmic beat, beat, beat
on the carpets has betrayed the fact.
The mender of the worn furniture
has carted off half your chairs to
repair the damage done during the
past season. The winter clothes and
the bedding are airing on the line,
and the front porch is filled up with
books and bric-a-brac and tables and
all kinds of folderols.
AS you have gone in and out
among your possessions, with your
head tied up in towel, and a wet
rag in your hand with which you
have made swipe at everything in
sight, you have sighed over the utter
foolishness of material acquisitive-
ness.
You have promised yourself that
some day you would give away or
destroy all superfluous furnishing
and eliminate the slavery which
their possession entails.
You have said the same thing each
spring in the years of your RESPONSE
bility. And then, what have you
done?
You have finally reached the attic
in your peregrinations, with the
grim determination to clear it of
everything not absolutely essential
to your housekeeping.
You have sat down on the floor
beside an old trunk, and from it's
depths you have hauled an old, sheer,
/ big-sleeved, questionable dress. 1t
would probably go to pieces if you
tried to rip it up. The little daugh-
ter would turn up her nose at is, so
If you had any idea of utilizing it
for her, you might as we'll abandon
the notion.
Yet, you do not cast it into the
scrap heap. You tenderly and rev.
erently fold it and put it back into
the trunk. 1t is not the flimsy,
funny looking old gown you are pre-
serving. 1t is what the gown repre-
sents-youth, with it's glorious
promises, its hopes, it's splendid pos
sibilities.
You wore that gown to your first
really, truly grown-up party. You
wore rose in your hair, and twin
roses in your cheeks. Your eyes
were aglow with the light of expecta-
| tion.
Enough was the joy of mere living,
Enough was the blood's quick
thrill;
You were simply happy, you knew
why,
You were happy beyond your will"
1t was such a perfect evening!
Life has held many pleasures for
you, since, and much of real happi-
ness, without the froth of the earlier
days, but that one evening stands
out from all the others; it is unique,
for it marked your emergence into
the period of your grown-up-ness.
And that is why you keep the old
gown. And that is why you will
still have the memory of that perfect
evening, long after the fabric of the
dress has fallen into shreds.
And here you sit and pore over the
contents of an old box which you
have pulled from the darkest recess
of the attic. The letters and papers
contained therein are yellowed by
age and covered with dust You
have told yourself that this time you
would destroy these old things that
simply clutter up the house.
But you will keep this letter. 1t
is one that father wrote you when
you we're off at boarding school, In
] 1t he expressed his faith In you and
