SET WORLDLY MAN THINKING
Simple Family Prayers Brought Back
to Him the Memories OF Youth
and Peace.

As Allan Lindsay's eye fell upon
the much-thumbed Bible with It's
shabby black cover, he smiled In a
superior way. II lay open on a little,
old.fashioned stand by the s~itting-room
window, with several neatly folded
copies of the weekly newspaper. There
was n pair of cheap, steel-bowed spec
tacles between the leaves. No doubt,
Lindsay reflected, this was n primitive
New England household, where they
held family prayers morning and eve
ming. They would not expect n sum
mer boarder" to attend. at all events
that was one comfort.
Lindsay prlded himself on being a
thoroughly seasoned man of the world,
and the ~slow-moving life OF the coun.
try irritated him. While he idly
fingered u copy OF the West Salem
| Banner he vas thinking of the never
| ending clamor of city streets and the
| ~high-tension leisure of an evening ut
| the club. A man had to get Of OF
| the whirl now and again, to be sure
he was here by the doctors orders
but to live this kind Of life year In
and year out! Lindsay shook his head
disdainfully.
"St. John XIV" He read the bold
faced type at the top Of the page abb
sently. 1t was n long, long time since
he had read even that much of the b.
BILE. and he turned his head to assure
himself that he was quite alone In the
room az he moved the s~teel-bowed
spcctaclcs aside Il little.
peace | leave with you, my peace
| give upo. you: not rs the world

heart be troubled, neither let 1t be
afraid"
The cynical smile was gone when
Allan Lindsay lifted his head. peace :"
1t was like the haunting echo Of some
sweet, sid song of his childhood, long
forgotten. Was 1t merely the word
of II poet and dreamer, or did 1t stand
for something that might cOm-yes.
and something did come-into u anx-
ious. busy, turbulent life?
As Lindsay asked himself the ques-
ton, he was thinking OF Mrs. Eliot's
llilll, iAi'Ai'lis AoN' Va WIS - 49,
face of his own mother? Lindsay was
not sure, but he seemed to see some
thing In both that he saw rarely in
any Of the alert. somewhat hard faces
in his own larger, buster world.
Mr.. Ellot's uncertain old voice
droned monotonousiy from the room
below, and Lindsay bowed his head
reverently when he heard the shuttle
of chairs and detected the slight
change Of toni In the voice. There
were young Eliots out in the clamor-
Gus, d%istracting world that Lindsay
knew SO well. and he wondered vague
ly whether this petition from the
old family altar-thls daily request
for untroubled hearts and peaceful
lives for them and theirs-reached SC
far. His own hearthstone was cold
and silent now, but perhaps the ST.
fenced voices were just beginning &c

She Had to Choose Between the Child
and the Furbelows.

Gals and the thcatcrs; we seek the pro-
prictics. But very seldom do parents
sit down with themselves aud canvass
the possibilities of the daily life, re-
solved to choose the essentials and to
ignore all else.
And because of our failure to do this
our children get what is left of our
energy and our consideration. They
are the immediate victims. But In the
long run the parents themselves suf-
fer quite as much.
