Pat told me he would be on hand
in the morning to hear my story, but
I hardly expected him as early as 9
o'clock.
Before was fixed up for the day
his card was brought in and I en-
jOyed seeing again that lovely blush

to her soft brown hair.
sent out word that he must wait
while, and a moment afterward we
saw him walking down toward the
summer house.
do you want to be here while 1
tell him the story, Alice?'' I asked.
- Eyes" she answered for I want
to see his face and listen to the tone
of his voice when he makes his de-
cision. I'll come in a moment after
he is seated, as though to be near in
case you want me"
do just as you think best, little
nurse, I said. l confess, dear little
book, my heart was beating faster
than it had since 1 held that fatal let
ter of Eleanor FairlOw's in my hand
while I listened to Dicks inquiries
about her. What would I do if Pat
should say that he could not forgive
a girl who had made the kind of
mistake that had dragged Alice
down? It seemed to me that I could
not endure to look upon the face of
my little nurse while, all unconscious
of its import, Pat was passing his
judgment on "The Woman With
Past"
And yet, deep in my heart, knew
that Alice was quite as good as he,
and he probably thought he was a
perfectly viTtUOus and respectable
member Of society.
What is il" I asked myself, that
creates the double standard 1 had
to answer that it was man that had !
created it for his own selfish pleas

He had of course added the law

were JuOSG WHO kept LQG seventh
commandment, but he evaded the
issue for himself by proclaiming
loudly, before any of the sweet la
dies of long ago got courage to ask
If that also made man honest, by
saying that an honest man was one
who kept the sixth commandment.
Looking at this important question
from the vantage of a man-made
world, 1 can see why he imposed this
double standard.
Like Monte CristO, he looked about
him and proclaimed exultantly, THE
world is mine" then Immediately
some one whispered, BE careful or
I'll take it from you"
Thou shalt not steal, he thun-
dered. "That is the command of
God as well as man. You will not
only be punished if you steal, but
men will revile you and never more
make you welcome among them
selves.
And if I do not steal?" timidly
asks a feminine voice.
you won't steal my dear" he an-
swers smoothly, for I shall give you
everything you want.
Even lOve?"
'Ah, that is another question, but
whether I love or not, you shall love
but one and that one love must be
blessed by bell and book, otherwise
you are not an honest woman. Re
member, my dear, all you can steal
from me is yourself, all the rest is
mine"
It's a big subject for thought, little
book, and before I had really
threshed it out Pat was announced
and the discussion that would shape
the lives of two people who had
grown very dear to me was on.

T nave no sympathy with the new theory that Americans are not to be protected in foreign lands said Flor ence Howe Hall. author of The Story of the Battle Hymn of the ReDublic" day pr two ago. If this doctrine had prevailed in the nineteenth ceu- tnry should never have existed. When my father. Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe. in the chivalrous days of his vobth carried help 10 the struggling Poles, at the request of Lafayette. he was shadowed and suddenly d.sap- pearcd in Berlin. The Prussian au- thorities assured the American minis ter that they knew of no such person as Dr. Howe. But q friend who had seen him before his disappearance was not to be bluffed, He insisted and persisted till they reluctantly re- leased my father from the prison where, without trial. he was secretly immured and where, but. for the in terfercnc. Of Uncle sam. he would have langllished and died In that case" continued Mrs. Hall, he would never have married Miss Julia Ward of New York, nor would she have helped him in his anti slavery work. He would never have been appointed on the sanitary commission, nor would he have gone to Washington, taknc his wife with him. She would m. have seen the Army of. the Potomac and The Battle Hymn of the Re- public would never have been written or course, l should never have been born.
