low.
The music committee had arranged
for the appearance of Mrs. Harring-
ton Smith, q talented soloist from
Elizabeth, but the serious illness OF
her son will prevent her participation
in the program.
The speaker of the evening, Jefer-
son L. Harbour, is no stranger to,
the Women's Club, having contribute
ed one humorous and altogether
pleasing evening to the club history
when no entertained q guest night
audience three years ago.
Mr.. Harbour is a native-of Iowa
but has lived in Boston for twenty
seven years. His experience as a
teacher. as g. newspaper reporter and
O prospector in the mining camps or
the west, combined with his editorial
association with the Youths Com
panion, ST. Nicholas, Harper's Bazar
and many other household maya
zines, has contributed a great varie-
ty of amusing material o his lee
lures.
Upon the occasion of his former
appearance here he kept his audi
ence in a constant gale of laughter,
was surrounded by the gentlemen as
soon as he left the program and
continued the center of merriment
the entire evening.
The Boston Transcript says of Mr..
Harbour: He does not profess to be
either a humorous or funny man and
as far as facial expression goes,
would be judged one of the most
serious of men, but nevertheless he
has the faculty of keeping his hear
ers in O. nearly continuous laugh by
his anecdotes"
His topic is blessed be Humor,"
emphasizing its value in the strenu-
GUS life of today,
After the formal program Is con-
cluded refreshments will be served
and the president, Mrs. A. c. Clark,
assisted by the first and second vice
presidents, Mrs. w. H. Chamberlain
and Mrs. Frank Dorsey, will receive
the guests.
The usual club guest fees will be
charged and upon this occasion a
member may be accompanied by
more than one guest.

The cup that cheers but not ineb-

more so han on a cold winter day:
Most women do serve tea to an
afternoon visitor nowadays, but COM

Is not to spoil ones dinner with rea.

A slice Of orange with two or three

It would be the final benefcience Of
living, I thought, to die with Bob. But
by husband wasn't at all ready to die
with me, il appeared. With strength
which was almost superhuman, he
carried me swiftly down the stairs and
ran with me toward the patio. He
had placed me on a bench, and was
painting hard for breath, when a noise
like that of thunder after a lightning
stroke hurt my ears.
Bobis body bent over me, close to
me, as bits of flying debris clattered
.around us.
Janet janet janet 7 heard him
murmur, not in ~reproach, but with
the utmost tenderness.
The explosion Of the munitions
rocked all the little world which was
conferred in that hacienda. The bench
on which l rested sWayed like q row
boat high on a wave. Then a stiffness
like that Of a tomb followed the thun-
der.
Bob raised me in his arms Il car

! reached the balcony, I heard the
scurrying of a hundred feet. Women

At least I no longer heard the hub
bub out of doors. 1 wasn't awake,
nevertheless, n part of my min was
going over and over one of the most
beautiful thoughts 1 had ever had in
my life.
Bob and I loved each other more
and more the longer we lived to-
gether! That was the real wonder of
true love like ours. We didn't wear
1t out with use. l had come close to
death and to the very end. my hus-
band-and our mutual love-had been
| the only thought In my mind. Some
times reused myself from my sleep
! to reassure myself that I still held
Bob's hand.
IA man and a oma who desire n
perfect existence, couldn't invent for

marriage as an institution-as if hu-
mainly had invented something too
ideal to live up to!
Marriage isn't at fault a I'll. II
is?" I said turning to Bob. People
are at fault"
Bob didn't understand, OF course.
He touched my hair with his lips and
whispered, Don't talk. honey! &c to
sleep again."
L closed my eyes, but my brain kept
whlrling the same theme over.
Love isn't a game OF solitaire" I
said. Some men expect their wives
to treat It so. Marriage, as prescribed
by law, Is tee absolutely ideal state,
but, OF course, the type OF man VINO

really nice men-idealiSts like by hus-

marriage is not a failure. The people
who undertake 1t. fail.
Woman by her Stiffness is Kept
from realizing to what heights of glory
her devotion to her husband can
carry her. And man, by his own self
ishness, destroys the very splendor
which he is e%ternaIly seeking"
And I remembered that Hamilton
Certeis lac loved me. and Katherine
Miller had loved Bob.
"Everywhere-and all the time
there is an opportunity for every man
and woman to be disloyal to true
love" 7 said to myself.
Certeis had destroyed my peace and
Katherine Miller. for q time, Lad

something rather common.
One kline of love destroyed, but the
other was constructive and made all

It's all right. old dear?' 1 mutter-

"Of course-everything's all right
darling. Are you better?'
MY mind has been going around
In circles" I answered. "Change the
subject for me. What happened-out

Johnston asserted that the baby who

A Social Function.
I'VE have a pleasant theory" said
Mrs. Gilman, that little children are
best taken care of by the individual
parent, whether she knows anything
or not. The care and education of
children is a social function; not a soy
function. Let those who like to bring
up children give their lives TO the

question. The affirmative side of the
question "a taken by Charlotte Per-

highly trained, expert mother, is to be
