lived for fear they would come TO see
her, and so find out about her mother.
At last she fell sick and they did
come, and when they knew her secret
they refused to have anything to do
with her when she went back to
work. She was also engaged to be
married to a worthy young man. but
when she revealed to him how her
mother lived he broke Off the match
because he was not willing to marry
into such a family.
These girls both say that they have
chung to their mothers, trying to hold
them up, and hoping that love for
them would make the erring women
repent and lead better lives, but they
have become discouraged, they see
their own lives being wasted and
ruined, and they want to know what
is the right thing for them to do.
My advice would be to get Up and
go so far away from home that the
shadow of their mothers shame could
not fall across their lives, and to
where they will have a chance TO be
judged on their own merits instead
Of being condemned for the faults Of
their parents.
Owe a Debt.
Children owe a debt to their pa
rents, but 1t is so very little in COM
parison with the debt that parents
owe their children that it is not to
be considered in a case like this.
More than that, when the parents
misbehave themselves they forfeit
their rights to their children's consid-
Grafton.
a mother who has become a degrad-
ed sot and who loves liquor better
than she does her children, certainly
has no claim upon the affections and
duty of the daughter she disgraces.
The girl can do her no good by stay
ing with her and being dragged down
herself into the pit the mother has
digged with her weakness, and II she
is wise she will steal her heart
against a maudlin pity for her moth
er, and go and lead her own life,
and get what happiness she can out
Of it, independent of her mother.
Nor is there any reason why the
girl, whose mother has chosen the
broad road, should keep her mother
company. If the mother refuses to
lead a decent life her daughter is lust
as much justified in declining to asso-
ciate with her as she would with any
other woman of ill-repute. AS long
as she stays with her mother her
garments will be despatched with
mud, and so the sooner she gets away
from her environment the better for
her.
The prodigal son or daughter has
an amending claim on the forgiveness
and help of the parents, becau "a
whatever he or sue is the parents arc
responsible for, but the children are
not responsible for their prodigal
parents and owe them nothing.

And Warren got out a bundle of
papers he had brought from the Of

Helen was blindly lingering through
her work basket. In a dazed sort Of

scattered pins and needles in the tiny

A Foreboding.
Her glance fell on her engagement

Had the loss Of her ring been a fore
boding of this? Suddenly she dropped
the work basket and rushed into her
room, lest Warren should see her
tears. on the bed she buried her face
in the pillow so the sound OF her
sobbing would not reach him.
There had been hardly an hour in
the last week since she had lost her
ring that she had not looked for it
somewhere, and always with that sick
feeling of dread that If she did not find
| IT, il would in some way mean some
estrangement between Warren and
/ her. And now-now he was going to
Paris for three months, She tried to
think Of what the days and nights
would be without him. The whole
world had grown suddenly black.

brushing away the tears.

Monroe will participate. There will be
reunion of Union and Confederate

Lord and Lady Kilmorey entertained a
large party at Mourne Park. ireland, at
which Sir Edward Carson, who has r.
turned from HOmburg. was the guest Of
honor. Lord Kilmorey's residence Is
most picturesQuely situated on the bor-
ders OF the Mourne Mountains and the
north shore of Cariingford Lough. Much
history was made in olden times in this
southern end Of County Down. where the
Carlingford Waters separate Ulster from
Leinster. Sir Edward Carson delivered
anti-home rule speeches in neighboring
Kilkeel, close by the sea, also in his
toric Newry. partly in Down and partly

south. Edward Bruce. whoss Scotch

crowned King Of Ireland. With the ten
dency of history to repeat itself. perhaps
another Edward may be crowned King,
a little more to the north.
What to say about Sir Edward Car
sons antics TO preach rebellion publicly
to further the Ulster anti-home rule cam
paign. while he holds the high and trust
ed position Of one of the Kings Privy
is a puzzle.
Emboldened by impunity, Sir Edward
Is becoming more bellicose. He would
have the British people believe that ac-
tive preparations for war are being made
IN Ulster. He reviewed 700 local ''volun-
teers," who were accompanied by white
aproned and white-capped nurses gather
ed under a Red Cross flag" A con-
spicuous figure among those present
was Sir George Richardson, who is de-
scribed as the general officer command
ing the Ulster Volunteer Force.
These continual indictments to resis-
tance against a prospective law cannot
be ignored Whatever one may think
about the prospects Of armed rebellion
in Ulster, this much is certain: that
the object and purpose Of the present
campaign in that province is to brow
beat Parliament and intimidate the Min
isters OF the Crown. Sir Edward Car
son could undoubtedly be proceeded
against under this statute. The mischief
Is that a prosecution would encourage
a rebel movement that at present Is en-
tirely without reality.
There Is q sharp and effective way OF
dealing with Sir Edward, and that Is
by removing his name from the list OF
Privy Councillors. The Privy Council Is
stin in theory a council Of the Kings
advisers A man who threatens to levy
war against the DEGREES of Parliament,
that is, against the Crown, is unfit to
sit on that body. Sir Edward Carson

Foreign dispatches announce that
one OF the most picturesque spots of
old Paris is to be transformed into a
prosaic vista of paved, graded streets
and modern apartment houses. The
Montmartre Is to fall before the march
OF modernism-the historic old Mont
martre site of the twelve windmilIs,
field of a hundred battles, scene of the
martyrdom Of ST. Denis-the incom-
parable Montmartre, viewed, by tour
lists without number, cherished by
every Partisan, praised and painted
and sung by artists both celebrated
and obscure. Every traveller will feel
sorrow at the prospect The American
who has visited Paris will remember
easy to forget, with it's quaint old
houses climbing the side Of q steep
hill, it narrow. step-like roadways, its
green terraces superimposed on each
other, and its indefinable, Old World
atmosphere of romance and poverty.
From the dome of the Church of the
Sacred Heart that crowns the sum-

is to go. The old Latin Quarter is no

gone, too, there will be little left of
the Paris we know from the nine
