She Knew What to Take,

Five-year-old Mary, who is always anxious to be in everything that goes on, lives in a small town where the long suffering minister still endures do- nation parties, to make up his back salary. Just before the last one she begged eagerly:
 Cant I take something, too, muv- ver?'
 "No; your father and I take some thing, that will be plenty"
 But the child could not bear to give up the idea, so she ransacked the whole house for something suitable. Finally she appeared before her mother with worn and faded dress of her own.
 Please, muvver, can't I take this? See, it's not a speek of good for any thing" she urged.-Christian Herald.

 Lillian had arranged her table with her usual skill. She herself. of course, had Robert Savarin as her dinner partner. and she had asked Dlcky to take the place of the host, with Mrs. Watrous at his right hand. Frank Lester took in Mrs. Durkee, Dr. Petit, Mrs. Lester; Katherine Sonnot fell to Alfred Durkee, while just opposite them Jack and I were stationed.
 The seating arrangements, and in fact everything else, however, were forgotten when we caught ou- first ' glimpse of Lillian's dining room, which had been carefully closed until Betty's summons
 Until I saw it I had not known that Lillian had had the room entirely re- modelled. She had evidently been keeping it a surprise for her first dinner against it's new background.
 The ceiling was beamed, the floor dark polished oak, the walls Wa1ns- coted in the same sombre wood. Where Lillian had secured her work men I don't know, but it was most wonderful refectory effect that met our eyes.
 The tables were of the type one sees in old pictures of monastery re- factories, and their only coverings were strips of tapestry-like cloth with eXquisitely embroidered bands hang ing below the edges of the tables, that were put together in the form of a letter T. These strips of embroidered cloth were also at the windows.

What ails the Japs is war NUM-,

the war with Russia. Probably for
the first time, the Japanese people
are not thinking so much about the

and when this psychological change
comes to a people that never has had
much, the simple country life usually
has to take a back seat while folks

Japan's aristocracies again call on the

There should be no breath of criti-

The situation is chaotic at this writ
