THE UNSEEN GUEST.

When we place am empty chair
As we sit us down to carve.
Will the unseen guest be there.
One who otherwise would starve
We remember how we live;
1t is not alone by bread,
There are other things to give
Other hungers to be fed
Not alone the foreign strand
Asks our bounty to be blessed;
1t may be at our right hand
We will find the unseen guest.

{ ONDON, Jan. 20.-I had TO so to
a. the drabbest, dreariest of Lon
don's many drab and dgealy quarters
to iad Lady Florence Pelham Gin
Jon the sister of the duke Of New
castle.
Lady Florence started out 20
years ago TO give Part Of her Time
to Albany Institute on Greek road in
Deptford. The institute j. a haven
Of light and refuge and cheer in STIR
rouadings oi gloom and terror and
poverty.
Today Lady Florence gives ali her
time to the work Of the institlte, and
dukes and duchesses and their titled
friends, wEo used to count on her
for social occasions, have almost for
gotten her altogether whcn sending
cut invitations.
Lady Florence has left the old no
bil.ty Of tile and wealth to cain the
tide OF first lady cf the new nobility
of service"
Because her home in the fashiona-
away from the institute, Lady Flor
cnoe has built a little house for her
self right across from the scene of
her lG5oTs.
"Charitv" has been erased from
the dictionary Of the institute.
Service is written large in its

1t conducts a toy factory which
employs crippled girls.
1t has a model flat where girls are
taught housekeeping.
1t fosters clubs for girls and wo-
men, ii which they study and play.
Lady Clinton now is 40, but she
looks more nearly 80 than do many
titled women who were her compan-
ions in girlhood and young woman
hood, but who have devoted their
lives to frivolities.
She now is helping the daughters
Of women whom she helped 20 years
ago-"and l hope to help their
granddaughtcrs," she says.
''True happiness" said Lady Flor
ence, can be found only in ser
