One by one sooty commnre drove them out westward. conservative though they were., from the paradise they had created; blacker and blacker grew the Gothic facade of St. John's; Thurston Gore departed, but leased his corner first for a goodly sum, his ancestors being from Connecticut; leased also the vacant lot he had beautified, where stores arose and hid the spire from Tower street. Cable cars moved serenely up the long hill, where a panting third horse had been neces sary. cable cars resounded in Bur ton street, between the new factory and the church where Dr. Oilman still preached of peace and the de lights of the New Jerusalem.

Their lawns were growing a little ragged, their stone steps and copings revealing cracks. ONE OF TUE OBDURATE ONES. Asa Waring looked with a, stern distaste upon certain aspects of modern life. And though he pos sessed the means to follow his friends and erstwhile neighbors into the newer paradise five miles westward, he had successfully re sisted for several years a formid able campaign to uproot him. His three married daughters lived in that clean aod verdant district surrounding the Park (spelled with a capital), while Evelyn and Rex spent most of their time in the West end or at the Country Club. Even Mrs. Waring, who resembled a Roman matron, with her wavy white hair parted in the middle and her gentle yet classic features, sighed secretly at times at the unyielding attitude of her husband, although admiring him for it. The grandchil dren drew her. On the occasion of Sunday din ner, when they surrounded her, her heart was filled to overflowin:. The Autumn sunlight, reddened somewhat by the slight base of smoke, poured in at the high win dows of the dining room. glinted on the silver, and was split into be wildering colors by the pris no of the chandelier. Many precious ex tra leaves were inserted under the white cloth, and Mrs. Waring's eyes were often dimmed with happiness as she glanced along the ranks on either side until they rested on the man with whom she had chosen to pass her life. Her admiration for him had gradually grown into hero worship. His anger sometimes roused, had a terrible moral quality that never failed to thrill her, and the loyal Legion button on his black frock coat seemed to her an epitome of his character. He sat for the most part silent, his remarkable. pen etrating eyes, lighting under his grizzled brown, smiling at her. at the children, at the grandchildren. And sometimes he would go to the corner table, where the four lit tiest sat, and fetch one back to perch on his knee and pull at his white military mustache. It was the children's day. Uproar greeted the huge white cylinder of ice cream borne by Katie, the se nior of the elderly maids: uproar greeted the cake ;an dfinally there was a rush for the chocolates, little tablets wrapped In tinfoil and tied with red and blue ribbon. After that the pandemonium left the dining room to spread itself over the spa cious house from the basement to the great playroom In the attic where the dolls and blocks and hobbyhorses of the parental genera tion stolcaly awaited the new. SOMETIMES A VISITOR. Sometimes a visitor was admitted to this sacramental feast, and dear est old gentleman in the world, with a great, high-bridged nose, a slight stoop, a kindly look, end snow-white hair, though the top of his head was bald. He sat on Mrs. Waring's right, and was treated with the greatest deference by the elders and with none at all by the children. who beseiged him. The bigger ones knew that he had had what is called a history; that he had been rich once. with a great mansion of his own, but now ho lived on Dalton street. almost in the slums, and worked among the poor. His name was Mr. Bentley. He was not there on the particu lar Sunday when this story opens. otherwise the conversation about to be recorded would not have tiken place. For St. John's Church was not often mentioned in Mr. Bent ley's presence. "Well, grandmother," said Phil Goodrich. who wa othe favorite son in-law. "how was the new rector to day?" "Mr. Hodder Is a remarkable young man, Phil." Mrs. Waring dee clared, "and delivered such a good sermon. I couldn't help wishing that, you ant Rex and Evelyn and George had been in church.' "'Phil couldn't go,' explained the unmarried and sunburned Evelyn, "he had a match on of eighteen holes with me." Mrs. Waring sighed. "I can't think what's got into the younger people these days that they seem so indifferent to religion. Your father's a vestryman, Phil, and I be lieve it has always been his hope that you would succeed him. I'm afraid Rex went succeed his father," she added, with a touch of regret and a glance of pride at her hue hand. "You never go to church, Rex. Phil does." "I got enough church rat boarding school to last me a life-tIme, mother." her son replied, lHe was slightly older than Evelyn, and just out of college. 'Besides any heathen can get on the vestry--It's a financial hoard, and they're due to put Phil on some day. They're always put ting him on boards." (To De Continued Tomorrow.)

First there is the girl from the time of birth until speech and walk ing are acluired. To watch a fmmale child at this age reveals all of the cunning, treachery and meanness to which the animal kingdom is heir. Snorts are made at elders, things are thrown at parents with the mnost inimical twistings and snarl ing of the facial muscles. From the age of five until twelve the female child quickly develops the tattle-tale spirit, a girl at this age begins to develop the most hate ful kind of class consciousness. meanness, chicanery, duplicity, ly ing and deceit in the )word, action, speech and manner is practised in infinite variety. The deceitful smile so often called artless is a deep dyed in the wool downright subter fuge. What do we have from twelve to cighteen?

I will mean that I wish her to be my friend and partner for life. Marriage is an agreement between man and wife to live the rest of their lives together for the purpose of comfort and happiness. A man and girl should k.now each other for at least a year to learn each other's way. before they are married. Love at first sight. in the commnn definition of the word "love." is natural, but it seldom lasts. Lovo should mean to find each other and to study each other. When there is the will there is the way, as the old saying goes, and if a man and wife are determined to live up to their agreement at mar riage they can and will do it. G. K.

S. Public I Mi ALT H authorities have agreed that the sontrol of tuberculosis demands p* marily care of the health of chit dren. More and more they have found that it is in childhood that the seeds of tuberculosis are planted. Prior to the year 1182. no one knew what caused tuberculosis. In that year. however, Do. Koch. the famous German scientist. discov ered a very minute germ which he named the tubercle bacillus. and which he demonstrated was the cause of many different forms of disease in various parts of the body. Study of the tubercle bacl. lus showed that it grows best in dark, moist places, and that bright sunshine easily kills the germ. Experience has also shown that while no medicine which one can buy will cure tuberculosis, yet the disease may often be entirely ar rested if the patient lies in fresh air. eats good food and gets suffl citnt rest. EREF STRONG. There is one simple rule to fol low, which will make it very un likely that tuberculosis will lay hold on your child. In fact, by fol lowing this rule children will be protected against many other dis seases. That rule is: KEEP STRONG. If you keep your body strong and well it will fight off the germs of disease so that they cannot harm you. And here are some smaller rules to make you keep strong: 1. Always breathe fresh air. Never sleep. study, work or play in a room without a window open. 2. Eat nourishing food and drink plenty of ptre water. Avoid food that is hard to digest, like heavy pastries. Never eat or drink any thing that weakens the body. 3. Make sure that everything you put into your mouth is clean. Wash your hands always before eating and bathe your whole body often. Clean your teeth every day. Do not smoke. 4. Exercise every day in the open air. Keep your shoulders straight. Take many deep breaths every day. If you wish to be a crusader against this agre and wish to keep The Halloi A CIRCUS CLOWN. A circus clown any size may be made of wire and dressed in colored crepe paper Pierrot fashion --one half his costume one color. the other half another. The clown's bead is a circle of wire covered with white crepe paper. with the features done in ink. Ills costume should be finished with a big ruffle at the neck, at the wrists and ankles. The wire for his legs should be run through a large round piece of cardboard and turned back; this acts as a standard so the clown can stand alone. The circus trapeze can be made of brown twine tied to the ends of a short round stick, or may be a circle of wire covered with brown crepe paper and sus pended by one piece of brown twine.

Not long ago the teacher in one of our city schools noticed that a delicate child of ten years was coughing a great deal and growing pale and thin. The school doctor examined the chikl and found that she had tuberculosis. After a visit from the school nurse, the parents consented to let the little one SO to a sanatorium in the country. Her* she had the right kind of food, and plenty of fresh air night and day. At night she slept in a cozy bed out on the porch. She stayed there six months and then returned home rosy-cheeked, plump, happy and strong. The fresh air did it all. Now that she is back in the city, she aUnds an open-air school. In this school. even in the coldest weather in winter, the windows are kept wide open. This gives every child plenty of fresh air and you ,can see by their fine red cheeks and their erect and sturd- bodies that it does them lots of good. There are now over five hundred open-air schools in the United States. Some of theri are for chil dren who have tuberculosis; others are for children who are run down in health and likely to get tubercu losis. The open-air schools help ti m to grow strong so that tuber culosis can't get a hold on them. Such schools are a blessing and we should have many more of them. All of us need a great deal ef fresh air to keep us strong. ween Party tell them they may roam around in the forest.
