She was so pretty and so happy that she got a silly song over big, and even the tenor had the decency to make her go on and take a curtain with him, which was enough to turn the head of any of the chorus. But Mary was scared blue instead of pleased, and she was so funny and old fashioned and startled by her own success, that the little old green eyed monster didn't hit any of the girls, and there wasn't a single catty hlnt In our room. Everybody just made fuss over her till Mary fairly cried, she was so happy. And the part that seemed to please her most was that she had seen Langdon ap- plaudlng his hands off up stairs"

Here is night gown that is designed tor real service and comfort. It is per- [ectly plain, simple garment without any tullness at the shoulders or across the back and 1t can be made with or without the yoke. It allows the choice of a collar or square neck and of long or three quar- ter sleeves. It really provides all the pos- sible variations of the simple garment.

When Boys Fight

defence. I do not believe in fight ing among boys and men usually but there are occasions when a boy or man cannot be a gentlemn and not fight. l think boys should not be taught never to fight-it takes the backbone out of a boy for the time when he may have to do it. He should be taught when to fight anc when not to; there are many little insults and annoyances which may be overlooked, but who does not ad-
 mire the man who can use his hands If necessary to protect the good name of mother, sister or friend, also the
 sterling principles of his own man hood?"
 She Has Reason to Hate Boys Fights,
 Again, speaking about boys fight.
 ing. my youngest brother, then lad
 about twelve got into a fight with
 another about the same age but stronger. The only reason for the fight VIC could find out was that the other fellow had it in for him. My brother came home with a very badly broken nose. What that boy suffered 1 q doctor can tell you. My parents had large doctors bills to pay and
 they were poor. My brother is dis ] figured for life and he would have : been a handsome man. Consequently 1 I stop every pair of boys fighting

Many interesting letters have come to me in answer to the letter friends question whether one should invari- bly try to stop a street fight between boys. I am sorry that I could not use them all
 As you say, to fight for a prin- ciple,'' writes one letter friend, strikes some fine chords. But isn't your interpretation of the sentence merely a mental illusion produced by the use of one word for two separate meanings? The word fight is com monly used in two ways; first, mean ing to strive. to exert ones self for some end: second. in the sense ol physical fighting, the obejct of which is to inflict the greatest possible damage upon an opponent. Now, which meaning it is which strikes the fine chords, the constructive or the destructive meaning. the sacr- flee of ones self to an end or the sac riiicc of an opponent?
 Another recalls us to q viewpoint the world seems to nave forgotten lately. "I surely would stop hght if possible by telling the boys now
 
 wicked and degrading it is to fight. vould tell the one that was insuiteo or wronged he had better suliel wrong than do wrong, Tor dou Word tells us that. When the Lord Jesus was insultcd and beaten. lie didn't strike back or retaliate in any way and He should be our eXample in everything.
