Elderly Lady Was Little Extreme in

In the subway they sat-a young

few such nowadays. Your up-to-the-

mistaken for one of her grandchildren
that she outdoes them In good fellow

an who in bearing looks and speech
might have been in a stage coach in
stead of the subway. The young girl
was talking and the grandmother, with
dignity and assurance, was interrupt
ing.
At every other word it was: More
distinctly, dear; I can scarcely hear
what you say" And, "Enunciate more
clearly, please. I missed that word al
together. I'm. afraid you'll have to
take lessons in distinct utterance."
And, "That time l heard nothing at

is the most important thing that per-
son, young or old, can possess? And
IT can be cultivated. Oh dear me, yes
You never have any difficulty in hear

mother" replied the young girl quietly
and with the air of not daring to differ
with that grandmother of hers had it
been a case of black being white.
But the young girls face reflected
what was on most of the passengers
faces-the knowledge that not her own
enunciation was at fault but her grand
mothers hearing. She wasn't differ

ute grandmother in wanting to retain
her youth-only she showed it differ
