Little book, you and know that
Margie Waverly is far from perfect.
She has her antipathies, her preju-
dices and her weaknesses, her analyt-
zeal criticism of life and people is not
always fair, l am afraid. l know it 4
is not always sympathetic, but l am
sure she does not mean to be unchar-
liable. She criticises herself much
more strenuously than she does 9TH
ers and she never by any chance tells
these criticisms of others to any one
else but you and me, and she knows
we won't tell.
She writes all these things so that
she can understand not only herself
but others, and above all the why
and wherefore Of life.
l said something of this kind to
Mollie when she explained that some
times she did not understand herself,
and she said, ''Margie, l think you
would be of the greatest help in the
world to other women if you would
allow that little book of yours to be
published.
But l could not do that" expos

love affairs, as well as the little init
macies of my courtship and marriage

even to her best friend"
do you know, Margie, don't be-
lieve we are all so different after all.
What happens to you will probably
happen to me, with perhaps little
different setting. People in this
world are prone to give advice, but no
one ever take it, because the advisor
never tells why he has come to these
conclusions. If, however, some one 4
could read the true account of and !
their struggle without any 'go-thou-
and-do-likewise' tackled on, l think
one would get some comfort, if not
some lesson from it.

LETTER FROM THE GRAVE
 OF YOUNG FRENCH OFFICER
Message of Comfort to His Widowed Mother Delivered After His Death.

The following letter, written by her son. young Alsatian officer in the French army, with the direction that 1t should be delivered only in the event of his death has been received by Mme Wurts, who occupied a humble post in the service of the state rail- ways. It was published in the Temps of Paris:
 My Dear Little Mother--I hope that you will never receive this letter, for if it comes to you 1t will mean that have gont to join grandfather and my dear Httle brother.
 This idea of death does not frighten sle in the least. If fah it will be for France and in the performance of my duty. like so many others at this moment. It Is only about you that l am troubled. and I say to myself What will poor mother dor"
 If l die this Is what you must do. In the first place, you must be calm and re- main so. You must keep all your self. control, and must not run out in the street crying out your sorrow. Your grief must be calm and dignihed. Then you must SC to fathers grave at -Thouarsais and tell him that his two sons have died do- ing their duty and that his son-iE-law has done much.
 Father will be happy to know that his big Rodolphe and his little Emile have fallen on the field of honor You will tel him. too, that Rodolphe has won his epau- lets and that he fell at the head of his mon. with his face to the foe He will be pleased, poor father, and you, dear mother, will have the satisfaction of hay ing given birth to honest men, whatever some people have said You will return to your work at the hef-Boutonne sta ton, and you will stay there until the day when you make up your mind that you have worked long enough and are tired enough to take your rest. You will go back to your own country, to Aisace, once more French. and you will say to yourself that if you arc iu Thann or Strassburg, It Is because your sons have done their part to restore our dear provinces to France. How sweet that thought will be to your heart! It will be consolation in your old age. 1 want you always to be hopeful and full of courage. Sacrifice cheeYfully accepted, joy m resignation these make lis strong.
 You must put far from you all resent meut against any one. You must not be envioVs of the mothers who have kept their chi dren if sometimes you are moved to complain. When you see the comrades of my brother and myself reflect that your sous suffer no ,Iore and that their glori- ous deatn is far better than the miserable existence of tLose who remain You prom. ise, don you?
 If l do uqt return Tou will tell yourself that the last thoosht9 of your big boy were of you anu n.y sister Blanche, aud that from the paradise of the brave I will watch over hctn of yop. Kisses to you, then. and a strong leart and good cour- age in fife as in death,
 Your big boy who loves you dearly.

Romance

Tell me tale of the picaroons,
 Or else of a sailor bold. Sing me n song of Spanish doubloonA And whisper of hidden gold. Pm sick to my soul of social vice. And of votes for women too; The cost of buying pound of rice And what will our congress do. Away with all that's timely and new. Forget the turkey trot dance. Eugeist. scientist. banish the crewl And quaff me the cup. romance! So lets go sailing over the sea
 In Search of adventures far. Sail on till we come to Arcade,
 Where our chldhood's heroes are Let's run in Sherwood with Robins band And prowl with Harun the Wise. Find Fridays footsteps upon the sand And joust for our ladies' eyes. Tell me a tale of knights of the road. Or else of q Chinese junk, Sing mo a song of jewels that glowed.
 Whisper of galleons sunk. We'll go in quest of the fleece of gold. Or fight for the fame of Rome And not till we've drained those days oi
 old
 Will we turn reluctant home.

not uncommon. If, however, the,
fur is coming out in patches, al
most as If 1t were rotten, look. for 4.

moths in the closet where you

them in a bag sprinkled with
