against the panes, loading down
the trees, driven by a bitter wind.
1t is always natural to draw upon
the nearest symbol, so she writes:
Like snow that falls where wa
tiers glide,
Earth's pleasures melt away;
They rest on Times resistless
tide
And cold are while they stay.
mrs. P. HOLT0N.
Boston, Mass, 1S49."
Mary, in Fitzwilliam, stitches it
into the blue and apricot square of
her quilt, colors which remind her
of August, and she signs as she,
too, looks out over her village,
swept by the same wintry wind.
Mary asked stern William Hig-
gins to write her something to put
in her quilt. She asked it some
what shyly, for William had asked
her TO marry him, and when she
had refused, in terror of his grave
and unsmiling nature, he had
grown more grave and more Sc
we're, and had, without haste or ar
dor, married plain Ellen Grant,
Mary's best friend.
William wrote in an unbending
hand on 4 small cotton square the
following words. a tribute to his
satisfaction in Ellen:
"a virtuous woman is crown to
her husband,
But she that maketh artfulnes5
rOtteth to his bones.
WILLIAM HIGGINS.
"Wardsboro, 1S4S."
And from Margaret Fisher:
"To Mary
any friend, it is not vanity,
'Tis not a wish for fame;
'Tis that / may remembered be
That here | write my name.
MARGARET FISHER"
Mary's old nurse sent a square
all beautifully embroidered, and in
the center she wrote:
"When this you see, remember me,
Unworthy as ! am.
MRS. EUNICE BOLT"
Old lady Calender sent from
Boston:
"Iove the best book.
CATHERINE CALENDER,
aged 80 years.
Boston. Mass.-1S47."
Fitzwilliam hasn't changed since
then. There are no more houses
there now, than in Mary's day.
More people pass through in auto
mobiles; that is about the only DIFF
ference.
Can't you remember:
The Washington times., 1918-01-12


TITZWILLIAM lies high on a
r round knoll, and the hills
L of New Hampshire curve
and swell around it. From here
one can see Monadnock, proudest
mountain in the country side.
The tavern lies white and spa
cious at one side of the diamond
shaped green. There are a few
white houses roundabout, a frigid
church, and that is all of Fitz-
william.
In one of the white houses,
shaped like a V upside down, l
found Mary's quilt for sale.
AS the scientist reconstructs u
lost civilization from the random
bone of some long-past animal, so
we can recover Mary's past from
this quilt.
1t Is made of squares of patch
work, and in every square there is
a cross, and at the center of every
cross there is a small white cotton
square with writing upon it in in
delible ink.
All Mary's friends and relations
wrote things on these cotton
squares for her to sew into her
quilt.
The gracious and leisurely days!
Heart Messages.
Most of them are from other viii
lagos, near and far. Here is one
from Bennington, Vt:
ITO Mary:
with all thy soul love God
above.
And as myself thy neighbor love
HOPE HIGGINS.
Bennington, Vt, 1876"
And here is one from Somers-
Vile:
Mary:
THE maid whose manners are re-
tired,
Who patient waits to be admired.

Her modest youth. her modest
smile.
Oh, she will find, or soon or late,

Some are from quite long dis
tances-from school friends, per-
haps, married and gone away to
live.
The daily scene survives in their
words. sometimes. Fanny HOltOn
is wondering what TO write for

Being Good Is An Easy Task.
For You

Of the German people for peace.

is gay and happy as a butterfly in
the sunshine; in his sleep he is
like a dewy cherub; in one of his
spontaneous bursts of affection he
is adorable.
And so it is with all the world.
The thief does not spend all his
days in stealing. the murderer In
plotting bloody deeds. True. with
the criminal his periods OF recti-
tude are sometimes enforced, but
also where he has the choice he
spends nine-tenths OF his time as
law-abiding citizen, seeking with
his wife and family the safe pleas
ures OF responsibility.
The incendiary, the blackguard,
the sneak, the vampire are SO only
upon comparatively rare occa-
sions; for the rest they may be
really quite interesting anu en-
ioyable persons. Even the surliest
crouch is at least fifty-fifty oblig-
ing and sweet tempered.
Believe in Yourself.
All of which may seem but an
other way of saying that there Is
more good than bad in human ma
ture. 1t isn't It's a way OF say
ing that at bottom human nature
10 Together good; that our ma
tural and spontaneous motives and
impulses, unless twisted and misdi-
rected, are invariably clean and
fine and honest The first inciina-
ton with every one of us is always
to do the right thing and the square
thing.
As Mr.. Arnold Bennett recently
said in one of his articles in Cos
mopolitan, while arguing a differ
ent thesis, you can't put energy
into a person any more than you
can into a ton of coal. With either
the person or the ton of coal. you
can only extract the energy that is
already there.
So it is with goodness. You
can't make yourself good by bring
ing in something new; no, not if
you scowl and clench your teeth
from now until doOmsday. You can
only bring out the good that is
alreadv in you.
Sin is the riddle of the ages. No
theologian, no creed, no system Of
philosophy, has ever yet been able
satisfactorily to explain its exist
ence in a universe governed by
order and law. One can, however,
very largely eliminate it from the
personal equation by a steadfast
and answering belief in ones self.
That is the way also TO success. to
honor, to happiness; and it is the
only emphatic resolution that it
is worth taking the trouble to lift
I'D your hand to vow to.
