approvingly took I'm her entire person,
stopping to lnger at the clear color Of
her cheeks and the happy twist of her
lips. The light breakfast finished she

find the lieutenant there.

Madeleine decided that daylight did
not detract from the mans personality.

Why Busy People Have leisure.

They say that the busiest people
have the most time TO give In service
to others, can turn clear attention to

This is simple because the busiest

ing the most, have learned the art Of
prompt action, Of quick dismissal Of
what has TO be done. They can give
you at any moment undivided atten-
tion because their minds are clear and

ROOM FOR READING CLUBS.

Not only might folk in the small
towns derive benefit from the sub
joined suggestions. but the facts here
set forth by writer in the Christian
Herald could wefl serve as guide for
groups in larger cities, wherever
there is young folks" problem.
In the autumn of new min
lister came to our little village. He
and his wife were young folks them
selves, and so were able to under
stand the problem we told him in
conference with the Sunday school su-
perintendent and others.
There was actually nothing to en-
terrain Or uplift our young people, and
some of the rougher element had
started dances which we could not
approve Of AS there was nothing
else to do, some of our incest young
people were being drawn into them.
We decided to try getting our
young people into some Of our houses
each week and reading a good book
aloud.
We met once a week at the houses,
and generally had two books on hand,
one of light, amusing vein, and the
other a stronger, better book.
Gradually our reading ctrele@' en-
1arged until we had to use the church
to meet it. We elected officers, and
had a program committee, which fur
nished US good music and a recitation
or two Sometimes the program came
first som etimes the reading Of the
books. Between, there was an inter-
mission for social enjoyment; a kind
Of get together" time.
The pastor and his committee were
ever on the alert to make the meetings
interesting. He insisted on prompt
opening and closing
The whole town was drawn upon for
assistance. SO it wasn't Church af-
fair or elan entertainm emit; but
was for the mental help and good Of
everybody. Before the winter was over
there was hardly person in the town
"a little hamlet of two hundred peo-
ple) who did not attend the reading
circle: and there were no more rough
dances to draw away our young peo-
pie.
Our reading included fiction, his
tory and biography: and the programs
often contained original poems
which were quite surprising. I would
like to say to other country villages.
Go thou and do likewise"
