though suppose that is every par
ent's feeling. He has never worn
any stin shoes, only soft moccasins.
Lately several ladies have been
telling my wife the baby ought to
have stiff shoes to brace his feet
and ankles. The ladies' propa-
ganda seems to lie having some ef-
feet on friend wife. The baby il

Members OF the Womans Christian Temper
ance union from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and
Wisconsin are meeting in Chicago this week in
the fourth of a series of conferences which
have moved westward from New York, Pitts
burgh and Chattanooga.
Miss Anna Gordon, national president,
claims that the W. c. T. U. is the best organ
lied society in the country, and states that
the society is now organized in IS foreign
nations.
At the conferences the great objective is
law enforcement, new duties OF citizenship.
Americanization. social morality, child welfare
and the promotion of preparations for jubilee
celebration in 1894.
The present membership in this country
is 100000, and there are 10000 local societies.
Tho women are working hard to bring the
membership up to the one million mark for
the jubilee, and it Is part Of their program
to raise jubilee fund OF 100000. Doubtless
these determined ladies will do what they set
out to accomplish.

"Oh. Of course, we'd like to have

somewhat restrainedly.
Lima turned her clear eyes upon
her cousin. "Old Mrs. Barr spends
the day here, and l could not leave.
I hope you will enjoy yourself"
She saw them off. the next day,
with mingled feelings. She trusted
Henry, but Emily was so pretty
and fascinating! In the days that
followed, when excursions and par
ties succeeded each other rapidly,
Lima felt. somehow, "out of it."
She tried to be her usual self. but
the feeling persisted that Henry
and Emily did not need her. En-
! ily's voice had a different note, in
addressing Henry; her eyes sought
his with starry, appealing glance
And Henry, though kind and
thoughtful as ever, was like 4 man
in dream.
| Then came the night of a large
party, when Lima, hurrying to join
the others waiting at the gate, slip
ped on a banana peel and stayed at
home to nurse an injured ankle.
The two, returning home at mid
night, did not know that she had
kept vigil for them; did not see
her watching from the staircase
landing. A light, suddenly flashing
out above, showed an affectionate
little tableau-a girls lips upturn-
ed to a mans, his arms about her
shoulders. Limping downstairs,
Lima faced them quietly.

enough" she said. you are en-
gagged to me, but if you like her
better and she likes you, l resign.
Only, you know, she won't make
you as good wife as l should.
She's pretty, and can embroider

chocolate cake and fudge"-an
edge Of sarcasm sharpened the
even voice-"but she can't milk,
nor cook, nor keep house. and all
she knows about money is to spend

The grave eyes seemed to search
every part of the shrinking girl

She turned pleasantly to Emily

twisting her handkerchief into q
