The following is suggestive;
Lesson |. John the Baptist was a
humble and courageous man. He did
not take honor to himself nor trim his
message TO suit the crowd.

shipped. but she is worthy of great
honor. Her faith made her to ac-
quiesce in the Lords will in spite of
the fact that she knew that her char
acter would be suspected.
Lesson III. Peter, while being tickle
and cowardly, is Il fine example of
the Transforming power of Gods grace.
Lesson ". John the apostle was a
retlcent man. He did not say much
about himself, but was passionately
in love with his Lord,
Lesson V. Matthew, though hum
Bile, was man of force Of character
and decision. He left all and followed
Jesus.
Lesson VI. Mary Magdolene, be
cause she was saved, was steadfast in
her devotion to the Lord Because of
this, she was able to tell the good
news of the resurrection to the dis
couraged disciples.
Lesson VII. Mary and Martha both
loved the Lord. Martha was mistaken
as to the best way to please Him.
Mary chose the good part in fellow
ship with her Lord which has made
her name immortal
Lesson VIII. stephen was so com
pletely filed with Christ that his face
shone as the face of an angel
Lesson IN. Barnabas was good
man and filed with the Holy Ghost.
Therefore. he was qualified ms lead
er of men.
Lesson X. Paul's knowledge OF

supreme aim to magnify Him.
Lesson NJ. Mark, though having
turned back from the work, was re.
stored and became a great and hon
ored minister of Christ.
Lesson MI. Luke, the skilled and
popular physician, gave himself up to
be the attendant of the missionary of

MY HUSBANDS

have everything ready for you al any time you come home"
 She is the best of wives" Dicky's brother-in-law invested the tribute with an appreciative smile. and then turned briskly to me.
 wen take another look at young Mrs. Durkee, now" he said. "Dicky, I'm sending young Durkee out to you. Keep him here for me until get back. I want to talk to him.
 Over the surgeons shoulder Dicky glared at me. I saw that he guessed Dr. Braithwaite meant to give AL fred a grilling, and that he held me responsible. But his rancor gave me no twinge of uneasiness, and l followed my brother-in-law down the corridor with a distinct hope that gentle Leila DIrkee's worries soon would be banished.
 We found her lying with look of happiness upon her face as her hands rested in her husbands tender clasp. Dr. Braithwaite lifted one of the hands, smiling. and tested the pulse before speaking.
 lllt, Ilt cdlbs Nltth iluu iutu it down again. Now, Madge, if you and the nurse will arrange at the office for Mrs. Durkee's stay here for today and tomorrow, and Mir. Durkee will remove himself to the reception room where my scape- grace of a brother-in-law awaits him, 1 shall give myself the pleasure of little chat with my patient"
 Leila's eyes widened anxiously at this announcement, but pr. Braith- waite chose to misinterpret the cause of her fear.
 Now staying in the hospital until day after tomorrow doesn't mean that you're ill now or are going to be ill.," he said cheerily, batting her hand. "It just means that this is the finest place to rest that I know of. We'll let your husband and Madge and Dicky come to see you as often as you like. and you may have all the flowers and good things to eat you want. But you must lie in bed and sleep a great deal"
 had managed tc get Alfred as far as the door by the time the surgeons speech was ended. for I know that he wished us all out of the room as soon as possible.
 Don't speak to her. just wave. I whispered, and he obeyed me, the nurse closing the door immediately afterward upon Leila's protesting, look.
 The poor child is frightened out Of her senses" Alfred said irresolute- ly lingering in the corridor.
 "She won't be in thirty seconds more" returned. "Dr. Braithwaite has infinite tact as well as experi- ence. and she'll be telling him all her worries al the rate Of mile a min ute before he's been talking to her long"
 Alfred gave me startled glance, opened his lips as if to speak. and then closed them again, while l hid a wicked little smile as he went slowly down the corridor to Dicky and the nurse and I attended 10 the details necessary for Leila's tcmpor- ary stay in the hospital room.

EXCELLENT BILL AT CAPITOL.

The Paramount perturbation of the celebrated play, ''Zaza," with Gloria Swanson in the stellar role, was shown with decidedly artistic results at the Capitol theater today. It is a superb production by Allan Dwan, creator of Robin Hood"
 Miss Swanson in the title role does remarkable work, running the gamut of emotions in many scenes with ex- cellent artistry. H. B. Warner, well known stage player, is finely cast in the part of Bernard Dufresne oppo- site the star.
 The Keith vaudeville bill has five big time offerings with ''The Seven Enchanters," introducing seven young ladies who play saNophones wonder fully well; Mahoney and Cecil in On the Boardwalk; Marcus and Burr in Laughing Matters; Bell and Caron in Bits of Variety" and the -Four Horsemen" in a great novelty sur prise.

Letter From Alice Hamilton 10 Her

 l must say, my dear sister, that you : have succeeded in making a mess of things generally After that terrible cable. which pretty nearly put me to bed and which had 10 show 10 Karl he was nearly beside himself Noth- ing would satisfy him except to cable you and also his lawyers.
 What I wanted him 10 do was sim. ply to cable you 10 send mo the pearls and let it go at that, but he seems to about if. Did you ever realize what sentimental boobs men are? They have no practical common sense where 1 their emotions arc concerned. He ] said he would not feel right if you did not have the gems after all the years he had been collecting them for you. 1 told Karl that fl he left you alone you would get out Of the mud de some way. and when he looked l dubious I asked him fl he did not l think you were d woman Of any re- sources al all. He answered, Not in ! circumstances e this kind '
 2 ing that he not only thought would provc perfectly adequate 10 cope with the matter but he also thought r. was TO credit 10 me 10 boSffirient in that direction. That is another silly mans notion.
 The pearls arc real. my dear. but of coursa this is not news to you. Kari has been collecting them for you ever since he can remember. Do you want me 10 believe you never heard of that Uf course Karl told me that yon didn't know word about fl. but I didn't believe him at all. He could not have kept such a thing from me, l can fell you. l would have wormnd i' out of him.
 And then when you finally got them into your hands it seems to me you were stupider than I thought. \ blind woman would have known the moment she felt thusr glorious glo- bules that they wtre priceless pearls. You cannot find fsut with mc for thinking you surely were not as stupid as all that.

You know very well, my dear, that if you had an assured income without going back to your father, you would tell Jack al labort your pearls and if he didn't like 1t you would say, I'll take my baby and get out
 Speaking Of babies, Leslie, did you ask Jack 10 go with us 10 that moving picture tonight?"
 "Ycs, but he said he thought he would be too busy to go."
 Well. you tell him for me, Les lie, that because of the coincidence Of little Jack being left before your door and Paula Perier's picture. which has to do with a child being left al tho door of two young peo- pie. all Albany is agog with gossip"
 What kind Of gossip, Ruth ?" What are they saying"

 Surely you don't believe it is true, Rufh?"
 "As far as am concerned I don't know anything about it. Leslie. and if you leave II to mo don't think if matters. Little Jack has been in your house for months. He has grown into your hear. He is yours legally. No one can take him from you and the sooner you stop con- iecturing who his parents are, the happier you will be"
 T have been conjecturing quite little. Ruth. and l have almost come to the decision that the child be- longs to Sydney Carton"
 Good Lord, What makes you think that" Ruth's tone was curioasly eager.
 well. you know that sydney very seldom comes to see me. He has made inc baby some very wonderful presents and when he does come here he acts so queerir about him. He sits and looks at him as though he were trying to find resemblance 10 someone and I think # is a re- se nlbiance to himsef. He acted very odd the day Of the christ eninE I know that he writes many letters 10 Jack. and Jack writes 10 him. al- though Jack never mentions them ta me.
