| viii Be Worthy of 1t.

I may not reach the heights I seek,
My untried strength may fail me,
Or half way up the mountain peak
Fierce tempests may assail me.
But though that place never gain,
Herein lies comfort for my pain,
I will be worthy of 1t.
I may not triumph in success.
Despite my earnest labor;
/ may not grasp results that bless
The efforts of my neighbor-
Bat though my goal never see,
This thought shall always dwell with @A
I will be worthy Of II.
The golden glory Of loves light
May never fall on my way.
My path may always lead through nsgG
Like some deserted byway.
Though Iife's dearest Joy miss,
There lies a nameless strength In th&s-

A WoMAN's REASONS

Edith Ferrol had never before said
you must" to her husband. and the
phrase fell strangely upon his ears.
Moreover she now repeated 1t, facing
him squarely. frmly and without
anger.
yes. Jack, you must keep on CIV
ing me the allowance. 1t is not only
because 1t makes me happier than |

but also because with a regular sum

children; especially Virginia" Edith
added In vaguely significant tone.
How do you mean especially Vir-
ginia'?" asked Ferrol. Have l ever
stinted either Of the kids? Don't l
always"
Edith held up her hand. "Oh, 1t
isn't that, John. / mean that unless
you continue the regular allowance
I cannot teach Virginia the funda-
mentals OF housekeeping and home
making. If had been shown when
was Virginia's age how to buy and

little daughter the things l was not

ment on her mother in every way,
Jack. This regular allowance is the
very basis of household economy. Can
you not see that it is?"
And there's another element, too,
Jack" Edith added, lowering her blue
eyes and pretending to pick bit Of
fluff of Johns coat as an excuse for
smuggling against him. ITS this, dear,
/ don't like to have the Riddles see US
disagree. And money matters are
the only thing we ever do quarrel and
fuss about, aren't they, Jack?"
Jacks reply was not as cordial as
Edith hoped 1t would be. II don't see
why we've got to wrangle over money
I've done my darndest ever since we
we're married to make you and the
kids comfortable. l can't see for the
life of me, EIDE, why you keep up such
an Internal howl about this allowance

only thing in the world to think
about"
Edith backed off as abruptly as
though he had pushed her.

good looking. The girls seem to like
me quite well, but the boys don't seem
to pay much attention to me. My
mother won't let me go with boys any
way. They stand around and talk
to other girls all the time. ] am a
good talker, but not very smart in
school. Do you suppose that is the
reason they don't pay attention to me?
KITTY
Perhaps you are still child in your
ways. When you are older the boys
probably will like you. Do not worry
about it now. Study hard and do as
well as you can in your school work.
Unless you take advantage of your
opportunity to learn while you are
young you will always regret it.
Dear Mrs Thompson: am young
married woman and ] love my hus-
band, but lately we have been having
trouble over my brother. He is a
soldier in France and my husband is
