the King to claim her due. With her were four nuns of her order. In the presence of the King and Queen ana the court, St. Brigid drew out her shawl and began to measure the ground with it.
 With amazement the King watched her hand a corner of her shawl to each of the nuns, who ran north, south, east and west. each with a cor ner. In the six months St. Brigtd had spun huge shawl of most web-nke substance, so that it's enormous folds could be rolled into tiny space Gradually the nuns stretched and stretched it, and when fully unfolded the wonderful shawl covered an en- tire county.
 Of course, the King had to fulfil the royal promise, grudingly as 1t had been made, and thus the ingenious nun compelled him to make good many times over the original promise which he had broken to her.

The lure was power ful and Francesca lent a willing ear to these propositions, when Vittoria halted them, with the famous letter in which she said: "Your virtue may raise you above the glory of being king. The sort of honor that goes down to our children with real lustre is derived from ouh deeds and quali- ties, not from power and titles"

 The bit of red at the neck and cuffs lent smart look to the frock and seemed to give little color to Miss Walkers usual ballot. It was this completing touch that made the dress perfect for her.

Many legends crowd around the memory of St. Brigid, who seems to have been a very practical as well as a pious woman. She was born about 450 A. D. near Dundalk, Ire, ana was a member of an illustriops Lelnster family. She made herself much oe- loved even as a young girl by her kindneses and charity, and was pos sessed of much physical beauty III spite of the fact that one slde >ol ner face was badly pock-marked-
 At the age of 16 she was maoe d nun. and soon the fame of her good ness and piety spread abroad. Crowds of girls and young widows came beg einr for admission to her convent, and she gave heed to all.
 At first she made practice oI founding establishments for the many who desired to enter her order in the

 Your description is bit meagre this time" remarked Madame, with a smile, "but think we'll be able to fit you out With something that's suit able.''
 "Oh, Madame Frances, if I could only wear frilly things!" Miss Walker sighed. There are so many pretty frilly models from which I might make my choice, but lock positively hideous in them"
 Don't let that knowledge disturb you. There are still some modish dresses, even minus the frills and the | furbelows. The natty linen dress I'm going to show you, carries out my idea of frock that might have beer | designed especially for you"

NARROWED IN THE HOME.

One of the New York City newspapers says
that the Sunday gasoline restriction in the ter
ritory east of the Mississippi river has been
z. an eye-opener'' to the heads of some families;
they (the heads) have spent some days at
homes that they probably would have spent In
touring the country in automobiles and they
have made discoveries. ssTheir families have
shown new peculiarities and new needs NO
doubt. There is a false impression about the
family; it is commonly regarded as the foun-
dalton of society because it is stable, peaceful
and unmoved by current changes AS a matter
of fact, the family is not by choice peaceful nor
stable nor unmoved it has by following custom
adapted itself to the machinery of everyday
life; it is the delight of the practical or mat
ter-of-fact because sit works. But the fam
lily has infinite possibilities in the way of sur
prise; it is as full of problems as shelf crowd
ed with modern novels and is lot more definite
about proposed solutions of them
There is notion that men and women seek
escape in automobiles from the monotony of
family routine. Really they seek escape by
any means of locomotion from its complex
ties. The glass that magnifes may catch a star
but the microscopic glass reveals the real sub
stance of life in all its various forms. The
generation which is passing was the product
of more segregated and intimate family life
than has been the lot of the generation which
is taking its place. We sing the praises of
camp life It takes all sorts of individuals,
su bjects them to common discipline, common
work for a common end but leaves them free
to learn of each other genuine democracy
which is not thing Of the mind but of the
emotions. Marooned at home, the family may
easily be seen to enjoy under compulslon some
of the advantages of camp life

IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE TURF

We wonder how the presidents declaration
that America will ''play no favorites' will be
brought within the comprehension Of people
who speak and think in Slav and Slovak We
wonder at it, for their acquaintance with our
race track idoms is limited and the verb to
play might naturally suggest wanton, sport
i've or fippant attitude should not take to-
wards any nation we were disposed to favor.
Lord Salisbury employed the phraseology of
the turf in his historic suggestion that Eng
land in backing Turkey had put her money on
the wrong horse The backward nations nat
urally visualized paniers full Of precious metals
strapped to horse for transportation, and
could easily understand that Turkey would be
an unsafe animal to trust with such load
They were not therefore so utterly mystifed
as they are likely to be when trying to make
a mental picture of stern old Uncle Sam with
his striped trousers and bewhiskered chin play
ing with studious impartiality with all the
powers.
