The real moon had gone under

LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON TO
BEATRICE GRIMSHAW.

MY DEAR BEATRICE:
1t was very sweet of you to write
me that long letter and I hasten to
answer it.
l am enclosing Alice's last letter
from England, as l think you will
enjoy it. Will you please return it
to me, because, although l have read
it to Leslie, do not think she was
able to enjoy it as she will later. = {.
Poor Leslie, Beatrice, has been and
is still very i'll. We have not been
able to interest her in anything. 7.
is such a grief to her that she lost
her baby. - q
Leslie, you know, is one of the
fashioned girls as far as children
are concerned. She always declared
she was going to have large fam
lily. In some way she seemed to feel,
however-we have learned since the
accident-that Jack did not care Tor
children.
This is mistaken idea. Jack loves
children. Any way she had not told
him of the baby that was coming
Consequently after the accident its
loss was much harder for her to
bear than if she and Jack had talked
over it's coming.
w, have just about come to the
conclusion that it will be necessary
to adopt baby. Anyway, am 60
ing to try and find one tomorrow
and bring it over to the Convalescent
Home, where we have taken Leslie,
and see how it affects her. We ara
doing this as last resort, because
if it does not flip her interest the
doctor tells US he will despair of do
ing anything for her.
My dear, it is rather selfish Of me
to burden you with Leslie's troubles
just when you have decided to marry
that young man Of yours. Even
though you should have as hard

wish you not to marry. Of course
Leslie Thinks now that she is the un-
kappiest woman on earth, but she
will look back upon it, when time
has given her the right perspective,
as part of her destiny, and prob
ably she will say that it was all for
the best after all.

time l thought would never get over
it, but now it seems only an unpleas-

with, and closer devotion to, my
husband. learned to appreciate our
oneness" at that time.
If could only make Jack and Les
lie talk over the loss of their child,
I am sure everything would come out
all right. But for some reason Les
lie seems to feel the child belonged
to her alone, and Jack is afraid to
mention it to her because he does
not want to grieve her any more than
she is grieving now.
Both Mr.. Hamilton and myself are
very glad to know that young Ather-
ton will probably regain his sight.
Mr.. Hamilton is going to ask Sally
to. bring her husband over to our
city, because you know we have one
of the greatest eye specialists in the
country here, and the sooner Sam
regains his sight. the sooner Mr..
Hamilton can put him to work.

land. We have not told Alice' yet
that Leslie has been i'll. as you will
see from her letter. am sending
my answer by Karl to tell her the
sad news. 1t will be easier for her

letter with explanations.

POETS CORNER
OUR FALLEN LEADER

A nation mourns; half mast, the Flag
Proclaims the tidings far and near:
Our Leaders gone to realms above.
Our President no more is here.
We prayed in vain: God took him
home,
Md left US stricken at his loss
To Him alone, all things are plain,
lis ours to bear the heavy cross.
He rides ahead; perhaps this night,
From some far star, or distant
sphere,
He looks upon the ones he loved.
And sees them gathered round his
bier.
We know not what the morrow
brings,
; Since life a. best can be but brief;
And Sorrow wide her portal filings,
And leaves US stricken down in
grief.
We march along with solemn tread,
To bear our hero TO his grave,
Some day shall Time carve DER his
head:
Here lies the bravest Of the brave.

you so kindly invited me, l shall
send you all best wishes that are in
my heart. heartily congratulate
the young man you are going to
marry, because Of all OF Leslie's
friends, you, my dear Beatrice, have
always seemed the nearest to me.
Because l have not been able to
make any purchases am asking Mr.
Hamilton to send youth check today.
Will you please buy with it the thing
you desire most and accept it with
the love of the mother of Leslie?
Sincerely yours,
