The coat-frock is of dark blue sh~antung.

at par, a warmer frock can easily be worn be-

, Mrs. James r. Plumb was q great
woman.
She had brains. she had good taste
she had education. she was kind and
loving and understanding.
She was the wife OF the minister
in a little country town.
And everybody loved her. and
horored her. and the town was
proud Of her.
She could read Caesar IN the origi.
nal-she could talk about the con
stellatiOns and the comets. She wrote
poetry. YES she even wrote music.
And she could sing the quaintest
old ballads-English and Scotch-all
about Cruel Barbara Allen and Sweet
Highland Mary and Jane. My Pretty
Jane. We used 70 wonder how we
ever got along at all without that
darling az a Mrs. Plumb who knew
what TO do when the baby swallowed
a safety pin and how 10 stop a burn
from burning. and what not to say
TO a tlmid old lady from the country.
But me day q committee from the
Ladies' Aid Society went "a see Mrs.
Plumb and they found her in her
little garden picking sweet peas.
They couldn't believe their eyes. be-
cause as they went past the house
they looked into the kitchen win

dishes-ves and the luncheon dishes
too-you could tell by the spoon
standing IA the sink as II no one had

From that minute on Mrs. Plumb
was an outcast.
Oh. yes. people spoke 70 her and
she wa invited 70 parties and socia-
bles and things. but there was some
thing about her. as II someone had
drawn an awful circle around her
and communicated her from the
honest companionship OF human
kind.
She was a good woman. she had
proved II a hundred times, but-shs
