But the voice was not in the instru-

so almost nothing, it seemed to be
made of air-and it came from the
air.
Slowly and incredulously he turned
and glory fell upon his shining eyes
The door of his fathers room had
opened.
Mary stood upon the threshold.

The Romans Dressed For Dinner.

A sartorial authority says that the
custom of dressing for dinner began
with the Romans. 1t was a simpler
procedure than at present. A loose
robe of fine material was donned for
the evening meal, preferably at home,
but in cases where guests came from q
distance to the home of the host he
kept a supply Of dinner clothes On hand

RATED AS BOON TO SERVICE.
Post Office Authorities Commend
Amendment to Postal Savings Act.

A statement issued by the postal au-
thorities expressed confidence that the
amendment to the postal savings act
which President Wilson has just ap-
proved will prove a great boon to the
postal savings service.
The maximum interest-bearing ac-
count which a depositor may now have
IS $1,000. as against $500 under the old
law. The restriction on the amount
that could be accepted from a depositor
monthly is done away with under the
new legislation, so that he may now
deposit all or any part of the maxi
mum amount which may stand to his
credit at one time.
1t has been estimated that the re-
strictions on deposits hitherto enforced
have made 1t necessary to turn away
as much money as it has been possible
to accept at depository post offices. The
number of depositors now runs well
over half a million and the deposits
foot up over eighty million dollars.
