"Blue Stockinqs."

The name, blue stockings" as ap-
piled to highly intellectual women,
originated in England in the eight
zenith century. Boswell tells of the
origin in his Life of Johnson" Some
leading London women used to give
evening parties for eminent literary
men. One of the sought-after men
of the time was a Bsnjamin Sitting

grave" and who always wore blue
stockings If he were late to party

My sister going to call one day on
a school chum, took her little son
along. While there, the hostess
served refreshments on highly pol

in the center of the table. 1t looked
like a regular meal to Billy, who
looked first at his mother and then
at the hostess in a puzzled way.
They both began to eat, and finally
Billy with little sigh, seriously lift

his napkin under them. His mother
wanted to know why he was doing
that, and Billy, glancing furtively at

"Oh. Hugh Evans is easy" boasted
big fat Basil Drake. He's a good fell
low, all right. He's friendly and ac-
commodating. Too much so for his
own good. Hasn't any ginger in him,
though. Wish l could marry him off
and see him settle down for life"
Well might bluff, hearty, but in
tensely selfish Basil Drake speak in
diligently and patronizingly of his
cousin, Hugh Evans. Years before
Evans. When the latter died he
turned the business over to Drake.
All ask, BASIL he said, lis that you
take care of my boy. Help him along
until he can take care of himself, and
If you feel like giving him start in
life, then, SO much the better"
Now. Drake had done fairly well for
this quasi ward, in his own estima-
ton. He had sent him to school and
provided for him. but he found Hugh
a good helper about the store and had
kept him ground down in a business
way. OF late Mrs. Drake had init
mated that she wished Hugh would
find quarters elsewhere, not that she
disliked him. but the growing family
needed all the living room in the
house.
Hugh was a good man. When that
was said, it covered the case. He was
honest, industrious, sympathetic and
kindly to all humanity. The Drake
system had in measure tended to
suppress ambition, but the mental and
spiritual aspirations of the man were
pure and strong. He was content to
remain in the humble situation fate
seemed to have awarded him. AS for
the rest, truthfulness and earnest SEN
timents of humanity for all his fellow
creatures gave to Hugh that greatest
of all blessings, peaceful mind.
1t was towards the close of fair
spring day that Hugh, passing down
a squalid street in the poorer portion

The latest attempt to determine the

of Termo, Italy, who publishes his
results in the Rivisita di Astronomia.
Among the stars having a measured

tometric measurements, that Campus
is the largest, with a diameter fifty
one times as great as that of the
sun. Other large stars. and the ratios
of their diameters to that of the sun,
are: Castor, IS; Arcturus, 1914; Pol

That's generous of you, BASIL said
Hugh, in his usual way of humility.
He never forgot the evening, one

strength and hope listened to his sim
pie appeal.

before the wedding, ne took Hugh to
see the house and lot"
A narrow strip of land two hundred
feet wide, half mile in length, lay
between the hills. Once there had
been house there. 1t had been

There's your house and lot, just as
l promised" he said.
Hugh WINGED but he said quietly:

He set at work to make the big
roomy shell comfortable. One day
while he was hard at work stranger
came to him.

Hugh was dazed. 1t seemed as if
the Golfers of Croesus had been sud
denly set at his disposal.
"I'll-I'll take it," he all but gasped,
a wild, joyous vision of little two
thousand dollar rose-embowered cot

Then he signed a contract to &C
cept five thousand dollars for the strip
of ground, the "house and lot" shrewd,
calculating Basil Drake had put over

Drake looked chagrined and mad
when he learned of the transaction.
One glorious evening, that of their
plain, simple wedding day, Hugh Evans
led his bride to the little cottage of
which he was the proud owner.
"Oh, Hugh" she breathed ecstat-
ically, as he led her up the path to the
rose-glorified home, this is not ours?"

Ind the look of blank despair in her
tired face made Hugh's heart ache. A
motherly looking woman with a brood
pt tattered children at her heels was
trying to console the poor girl. Her
efforts seemed vain. AS she stepped
aside Hugh spoke to her and asked
her the sion of the distressing
scene.

They took her into the rooms of the

story of the girl when he got back to
