But there still are impractical folk

delight the eye, perhaps only for a

buy such things for themselves, no

There are some people, you know,

useful presents. There arc those
who would give the cook soup la

who give the children of their fami-

unhappiness. 1t is said that he squan-
dcred most of he's dowery of twenty
hFc hundred pounds a year on horses,
and he had the reputation Of being one
OF the widest men in England. His
oiographers accounted for this partly
by reminding the world that he had
been brought up most strictly. and that

for this reason she turned her atten-
tion to her work. She wrote. many of
her works being on religious subjects.
One thing was a paraphrase on the
Lords PRAYER. and another was an
cleGy on the death of the Earl of
Rochester. All her work received
favorable comment. and Dryden, espe-
