strains of piano, flute and violin
voices. Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Quincy
Ward stood in the rear parlor and re-
ceived their friends with an old-fash-
toned cordially and hospitality that
made each guest feel especially well
come and that carried a charm all
it's own in this day of Substitutes.

and twas then that we learned there
are substitutes for meat, and substi-
tutes for wheat, and substitutes for
wool: o, so many! But for a smile
that's warm and true and hand
held out to you-you'll look in vain
for you see there isn't any.
Both ladies wore handsome after
