his previous experience with women.
But l had to smile-when. neither of
them could see meas Mollie's own
speculation had been from the first
on whether either or both men were
in love with her. Down deep in her
heart Mollie knows, as does every
woman in whom men are interested,
that these mems interest in her was
not. wholly pride in her clever brain,
but she was playing the game-this
time like a woman-and she did not
intend to retire until she had an
avowal of love from either one or
both of them.
On the meantime I am not sure
that she did not hoodwink herself as
well as Dick with her ideas of bust
ness and brains in opposition to love
and sex attraction.
She probably was not aware at this
moment that she had had the same
suspicious as Dick. She was making
out her case in the best possible man
ner, forgetting when men and women
come together, either in business or
social life, you cannot ignore sex.

the way in which the different peo-
pie took it.

very cool about it until Dick suggest
ed that she should leave town. Then
she got furiously angry.

AN AUTUMN PILGRIM

He takes the open path at dawn. With golden lures to lead him on The truant winds low naurmurfngs, The surge of southward sweeping
 wings. He sees the gentian by the brook Cast back at him an asure look, And marks above the soft green sod f A pirouetting butterfly, Like blown shred of goldenrod, Go drifting by. He tastes the brow that Robin Hoo& Once quaffed within the ancieyS@
 wood The aromatic essences Of beecaen and of balsamt trees; And feels an ardor run along His veins and stir his lips to song A simple strain of reedy Inirth,
 Echoes of airs Arcadian Full of the ecstasy of earth,
 The joy of Pan. He thrills to hear the crickets croon Beneath the arches of the noon, When the red harvest promise smiles And gleans more glory from the That on the hill slopes flame and
 fuse Senses in them 9, stronger spell
 Than in the radiant dyes that glow On canvases by Raphael
 And Angelo. And if the dusk and dewfall find Him still unhoused, he knows thsm

PEACE ON EARTH"

The first warning peoples to de~ clare a truce and cease hosttlittes at Christmas time were the savage north men of the Scandinavian countries, and, strange as it may seem, this cus- tom is much older than Christmas or Christianity. Tn ancient times the peri cd of the winter soIstice, falling in the latter part of December was almost universally celebrated in Europe and Asia The savage and warlike in- habitants of northern Europe were all most constantly embroiled in strife
 with their neigh hbors and the people of other tribes, but for 14 days during the winter soIstice all hostilities ceas- ed by universal consent, and former enemies fraternized and feasted to- gether in honor of the pagan Ec.1s, who were believed to return to earth and to hold communion with ma. 2s this period of the year. The doctrine of Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men was practiced by all. and good fellow ship reigned supreme. To engage in battle at this time was considered an offense to the gods

 My cuzzin Artie got a printing Iress for his berthdays being a reel one with ink and letters and all, and me and him went into partnership in the printing biznizz, Artie supplying the printing and me supplying the spell ing and ideers, and we went erround asking peepil if they wunted eny yis- iting cards printed with thare name one it, wich nobody did but Miss Win kel, and she sed she wood buy dug gin if we wood make them for cents a duzzin.

~O~O-9
 Nor too<backward, nor too bold.
 Love that Iasteth till 'tis old,
 Fadeth not in haste.
 Everybody adores the saint-at least they say they do. We couldn't get along without the saints to offset the pranks of the sinners. Yet, many a man says that taking saint to wife has it's drawbacks as we'll as It's pleas ures. The poet knew what ne was talking about when he said, 'The best sweetheart of all is she who is not too good for common food He meant that of the girl who could enter into the life of everyday folks with its joys, sorrows, ambitions and d1sap- pointments.
 When a man marries he wants companion-a loving women to sit with him at the dreside, and to talk over their mutual interests Every man wants a pious helpmate, put II the nature of a particular man to be full of fun, loving company rather than quiet, he would have to have the patience of a Socrates if the angelic wife of his bosom insisted that he should go to the Bible class Monday evening, prayer meeting Tuesday eFe- ming, Wednesday evening conference. Thursday evening", Sunday school teachers meetiny, Friday evening to church reviva-and only let out on Saturday evening because there is nothing going on.
 Even the best of women can carry their fervor for good too far. A hu- man being feels uncomfortable and in ferior in the presence of 8 saint. Ev- cry woman should be just as good as she can be but she should take care not to parade tito work in quiet, un- obtrusive ways to better the lives of those about her. One does not have to dress in sackc1oth and ashes to be great, good, noble and true. Many homes entertain an angel unawares. The world is full of wives who make no outward show of the great good they accomplish They know that their husbands are doing the best they can. It is their duty to him, as well as to their home folks. The babies at home need attention quite as much as do the heather abroad. Every man will tell you that he has married one of the best women in the world. No woman can be too good They are happiest who strike a happy medium, them for what they are Angels can be divided into classes, but those whom we love most are those who bring sunshine into our homes. who love unseIhshly, and whom we adore and could not live without. Pa tient wives are saints. the mothers who save, work, denying themselves for husband and children, are saints, as are those who reform the fallen and unfortunate.
