OLD LADIES GET SHOWER.

The Woman s Guild of st. Andrew s
Mission will have shower tomorrow
afternoon at 3 p, m. Everyone inter
ested in st. John IS Home for Old La
dies in Milwaukee will have an oppor-
tunity by means of this shower to send
some pretty gift, either a luxury or a
comfort, to the old ladies who make
this place their abiding place.
1t is an interesting family of old
people. One of them, woman near
ing seventy years, was the first inmate
of the home, sent there by special
suspension of rules in her girlhood be-
cause she was homeless, newly arrived
from Ireland and had lost her sight
completely, and Milwaukee then had
no other place for her to go. Now her
hair is snowy white but she retains her
Irish cheeriness and her Irish wit and
In spite of being able to see not so
much as a glimmer of light, she is the
sunshine and brightness of many an
assemblage in the home. She is always
doing something, for someone and she
loves pretty things. She wears a little
pink or blue bow at her neck very
often and she loves a bit of lace for

says she remembers how pretty the col
ors and the lace used to look when she
last gazed at her merry, nineteen-year-
old face in the glass, in the long, long
ago when she could see.
The writer Of this remembers the
pleasure with which the blind woman
fingered over package of letters and
cards she had received one Christmas.
having learned to recognize each bv
the sense of touch after having had
some friend read them to her once or
twice. She would say, EsNow ism t
this pretty card with the holly

through the package of Christmas mail.
Yet she did not know what one scratch
on the cards really looked like. al
though she could say over many of the
verses and connected the verse with
the proper card.
Any delicacies or necessities. such a.
towels, toilet articles or table dainties
will be gratefully received bv the
guild tomorrow.

already trained his mother to under

that if the world would pay more at
tention to gesture and facial express
sion as means of conversation and
use fewer words that people would be
more sincere in their communications
with one another, and beside that, the
use of Volapuk and other universal -
languages would not be necessary.
Moreover, he contends in support of
his theory, the time saved from gram
mar, literature, rhetoric and allied
studies could all be diverted to import

riding in a baby cab and cutting one s

a fierce gale blowing from the northwest
