BY noon the sea was nat and the wind

dealing with this very subject of marry
ing for money. Under the, title OF Land
Of the Scarlet Leaf" Il gives an excellent
description OF Canadian life-not Canadian
life as seen by n Canadian, but as II
would strike an English girl who saw Il
for the first time
The heroine Is a worthless sort Of young
woman. Failing in love with one man,
she yet marries another for his money.
This seems an action little calculated to
bring happiness 10 anybody-and, OF
course, IL doesn't. For Immediately aft
erward the foolish lady realizes keeniy
that she should have married for love.
and this realization annoys her so
poignantly that she sets to Immediately
and works the most dreadful harm i'm the
lives of at least two people
That is the worst part about the woman
who marTies for money-she never will sit
down under the burden of her own folly,
and tell herself stoically that, having
sown the wind, she must reap the whirl-
wind-upon the contrary, she decides that
any reaping OF the whirlwind which is
forced upon her must be borne in equal
part by as many other people as she can
gather into the unhappy circle.
The heroine OF this tale, then, in ortho-
dox fashion, in the first instance breaks
the heart of the man she loves, marries
the man who loves her, ruins his life with
systematic thoroughness. commits forgery
and a few little sins of that sort. gam
bles, and after a few years Of philan-
thropic repentance, ends up happily In
marrying the one she loves best!
This seems too good a fate for the
naughty heroine TITS all very well &c

rule, we have to wait a long time 70,
that punishment: whereas wn aro 49,,

AS to the newest neckwear. the feather

Out over the rippled surface of the
lake a snow white gull flew IN sreas
sweeping circles. Round and rouno
he flew as though he wished to spy
ont what might be under every ripple
of clear blue water. With his broad
white wings outstretched he looked
like a bird aeroplane flying over the
water.

he circled round and round that one
particular spot; lower and lower ne

ward dart he dipped under the water
and brought up a struggling fish:
Holding it tightly in his bill, he
flew off toward his home.
So far everything had happened
ouite as it should-quite as happened
every day. But before he had flown
clear across the lake toward his home
another great gull darted toward
him, "Oh, dear! thought the 1lrst
gull Now there comes that great
ouarrelsome gull that thought had
left far behind me! And just as 1 have
this fine fish for my dinner, too.
Maybe if fly right straight along, he

But the gull should have known his
enemy better. Before the second gull

fish 70 his own dinneI
why should I bother to fish? ?" the
second gull had said to himself. why
should I circle around and hunt
where the fish are swimming and go
to all the trouble of fishing a dinner
for myself when right here in the air
is a fine fish all ready for the stealing
and eating?" And as nobody disputed
him, of course he knew he was quite
right
Now with gulls, thinking and acting
come very close together. Hardly had
the second gull noticed the first gulPs

We need to dress up inside as well

homely virtues conspicuous in the
past-Truth, Honesty, Fidelity and

We need to dress up our voters when

We need to dress up taxpayers so
that they shall be awakened from
their Iethargy to take an interest in
public affairs and to secure efficient

We need to dress up the business

DRESS up

A dressup campaign has been IN
augurated in Rochester, N. Y, writes
John A. Sleicher, in Leslie's. and he
continues:
1t is proposed to have a week when
every one will wear neat garments
and spruce up
This is on the principle that it is
good business for a man to appear
carefully groomed.
1t does not imply that he should be
a fop Quite the contrary.
Why confine the dressup campaign
to the matter of clothes?
We need to dress up in our munich
pal governments in the interest of
greater efficiency and greater econ
omy.
We need to dress up in our federal
government. We have too many
demagogues taking the places OF
statesmen and making pitiful exhi-
bition of legislative incapacity.
We need to dress up our crippled
when their affairs are regulated by
inexperienced public officials respon-
sible to no one but themselves?
We need to dress up in our homes
by teaching the children of this gen.
Grafton the wisdom of their fathers
and the modesty of their mothers
We need to dress up in our churches
by having a revival of interest in Sun
day observance, the Ten Command
