THE MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION FORGET THAT
THE PARSONAGE FOLKS NEED MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS,
SO LITTLE CONNIE TELLS BANKER SOME PLAIN TRUTHS
Mr. Slarr, a widower Methodist minister, comes to Mount Mnrk,
In., to tuke charge of the congregation then?. He hns five charming
daughtcYs, the eldest of whom, rrudencc, age nineteen, keepM house
mid mothers the fitmlly. Her younger sisters are Fairy, the twins
Carol and Lark, mid Constance, the "hnhy." The family's coming stirs
the curloHlty of the townspeople. After a few weeks the Stutrs are
well settled. 1'rudence has her hands full with the mlsehIe"vous young
sters, but she loves them devotedly deNpite their outrageous pranks.
It Is a joyous household, hut the parsonngu girls nre embarrassed at
Christmas time because the congregation has failed to pay the pastor's
salary. Little Connie needs clothing, and sadly disappointed, takes
matters Into her own hands.

, "Oh, I luid her dressed warmly un
derneath, very warmly Indeed," de
clared Prudence. "Hut no matter how
warm you are underneath, you look
cold If you aren't visibly prepared Tor

money would come In to buy her a
coat for once In her life."
'She has been looking forward to

will be n bitter blow to her. And yet
It Is not such a bad-looking coat, after
jail." And she quickly ran up a seam
on the machine.
"Here comes Connie!" Prudence
hastily swept a pile of scraps out of
.bight, and turned to greet her little
ulster with a cheery smile.
"Come on In, Connie," she cried,
with a brightness she did not feel,
""airy and I are making you a new
.coat. Isn't It pretty? And so warm!
See the nice velvet collar and cuffs.
We want to Bt It on you right away,
dear."
Connie picked up a piece of the
.goods and examined it Intently.
"Don't you want some fudge. Con
nie?" exclaimed Fairy, shoving the
dish toward her hurriedly!
Connie took a piece from the plate,
nnd thrust It between her teeth. Her
eyes were still fastened upon the brown
furry cloth.
"Where did you get this stuff?" she
Inquired, as soon as she was able to
speak.
"Out of the trunk in the garret. Con
nie. Don't you want some more fudge?
I put a lot, of nuts in, especially on
.your account."
"It's good," said Connie, taking an-
other piece. She examined the cloth
-very closely. "Say, Prudence, lsu t this
that old brown coat of father's?"
FaLry shpved her chair back from the
:mnchlne. and ran to the window.
"Look, Prue," she cried. "Isn't that
Mrs. Adams coming this way? I won
der"
"No, It isn't," answered Connie
gravely. "It's Just Miss Avery getting
home from school. Isn't It, Prudence
Father's coat, I mean?"
"Yes, Connie, it Is," said Prudence,
very, very gently. "But no one here
has seen It, and it Is such nice cloth
Just exactly what girls are wearing
:now."
"But I wanted a new coat !" Connie
. did not cry. She stood looking at Pru
-dence with her wide hurt eyes.
"Oh, Connie, I'm Just as sorry as
.you are," cried Prudence, with starting
tears. "I know just how you feel about
It dearest! But the people didn't pay
, father up last month. Maybe after
Christmas we can get you a coat They
.pay up better then."
"I think I'd rnther wear my Rummer
coat until men, saiu Connie soDeny.
"Oh, but you can't, dearest. It Is too
cold. Won't you be a good girl now,
and not make sister feel badly about
1t? It really is becoming to you, and It
Is nice and warm. Take some more
fudge, dear, and run out-of-doors a
-while. You'll feel better about It pres
ently, I'm sure."
Connie stood solemnly beside the
table, her 'eyes still fastened on the
-coat, cut down from her father's. "Can
I go and take a walk?" she asked
Unally.
"May I, you mean," suggested Fairy.
"Yes, may I? Maybe I can reconcile
myself to It"
"Yes, go and take a walk," urged
Prudence promptly, eager to get the
small sober face beyond her range of
vision.
"If I am not back when the twins
.get home, go right on and eat without
me. I'll come back when I get things
straightened out lu my mind."
When Connie was quite beyond hear
ing, Prudence dropped her head on the
table and wept. "Oh, Fairy, if the meni
'bers Just knew how such things hurt,
mayoe iney a pay up a 'little better.
How do they expect parsonage people
to keep up appearances when they
haven't any money?'"
"Oh, now, Prue, you're worse , than
Connie I There's no use to cry about
. It. Parsonage people have to find hap
piness In spite of financial misery.
Money isn't the first thing with folks
like us."
. "Poor little Connie! If she had
cried about It, I wouldn't have cared so
much. But she looked so heartsick,
didn't she, Fairy?"
' Connie certainly was heartsick. More
than that, she was a little disgusted.
Bhe felt herself aroused to take action.
Things had gone too farl Go to church
in her father's coat she could notl She
walked sturdily down the street toward
the "city" ironically so called. Her
face was stony, her hands were
clenched. But Anally she brightened.
Her lagging steps quickened. She
skipped along quite cheerfully. She
urued westward as she reached the
rorrior of the square, and walked along
Unit business street with shining eyes. I bounce.
In front of the First National bank she
paused, but after a few seconds she
passed by. On the opposite corner was
another bank. When she reached It,
Rhe walked In without pausing, and the
massive door swung behind her.
The four older girls were at the
table when Connie came home. She
exhaled quiet satisfaction from every
pore. Prudence glanced at her once,
and then looked away again. "She has
reconciled herself," she thought Din
ner was half over before Constance
burnt her bomb.
"Are you going to be busy this after
noon, Prudence?" she asked quietly.
"We are going to sew a little," said
Prudence. "Why?"
"I wanted you to go downtown with
me after school."
"Well, perhaps I can do that. Fairy
will be able to finish the coat alone."
."You needn't linlsh the coat I can't
wear father's coat to church, Pru
dence. It's a it's a physical impos
sibility." The twins luughed, Fairy smiled, but
Prudence gazed at "the buby" with
tender pity.
"I'm so sorry, dearest, but we haven't
the money to buy one now."
"Will five dollars be enough?" In
quired Connie, and she placed a crisp
new bill beside her plate. The twins
gasped! They gazed at Connie with
new respect. They were just wishing
they could handle five-dollar bills so
recklessly.
"Will you loan me twenty dollars un
til lifter Christmas, Connie?" queried
Fairy.
But Prudence asked, "Where did you
get this money, Connie?"
"I borrowed It from the bnnk," Con
nie replied with proper gravity. "I
have two years to pay It back. Mr.
Harold says they ure proud to have my
trade."
Prudence was silent for several long
seconds. Then she inquired In a low
voice. "Did you tell him why you want
ed it?"
"Yes, I explained the whole situa
tion." "What did he say?"
"lie said he knew Just how I felt.
because he knew he couldn't go to
church In his wife's coat. No, I said
that myself, but he agreed with me. He
did not say very much, but he looked
sympathetic. He said he anticipated
great pleasure in seeing me In my new
coat at church next Sunday."
"Co on with your luncheon, twins,"
said Prudence sternly. "You'll be late
to school. We'll see about going down
town when you get home tonight, Con.
nie. Now, eat your luncheon, and
don't talk about coats any more."
When Connie had gone back to
school,. Prudence went straight to Mr.
Harold's bank. Flushed and embar
rassed, she explnlned the situation
frankly. "My sympathies are all with
Connie," she said candidly. "But I am
afraid father would not like It. We are
dead set against borrowing. After
our mother was taken, we were crowd
ed pretty close for money. So we had
to go in debt. It took us two years to
get it paid. Father and Fairy and I
talked It over then, and decided we
would starve rather than borrow again.
Even the twins understood it, but Con
nie was too little. She doesn't know
how heartbreaking It is to keep hand
ing over every cent for debt w-hen one
is Just yearning for other things. I do
wish she might have the coat, but I'm
afraid father would not like It. She
gave me the -five dollars for safekeep
ing, and I have brought It back."
Mr. Harold shook his bead. "No,
Connie must have her coat. This will
be a good lesson for her. It will teach
her the bitterness of living under debt I
Besides, Prudence, I think in my heart
that she is right this time. This Is a
case where borrowing is justified. Get
her the coat, and I'll square the ac
count with your father." Then he
added, "And I'll look after this salary
business after this. I'll arrange with
the trustees that I am to pay your fa
ther his full salary the first of every
month, and that the church receipts are
to be turned in to me. And if they
do not pay up, my lawyer can do a lit
tle investigating! Little Connie earned
that five dollars, for she taught one
trustee a sorry lesson. And he will
have,to pass It on to the others In self
defense! Now, run along and get the
coat, and If five dollars Isn't enough
you can have as much more as you
need. Your father will get his salary
after this, my dear, if we have to mort
gage the parsonage!"

USE CARE IN COLOR OF
ANNUALS
For summer flowering, annuals are
very satisfactory, blooming profusely
through the entire season, while the
cost of a seed packet Is but a trifle.
Good taste dictates the system of
planting Inrge bunches of single spe
c!p8 together rather than the old way
of mixing a dozen varieties in as many
square feet.
It is the tame plan that places a
dozen carnations or roses In a vase
rather than a heterogeneous collection
in the old-fashioned bouquet. Mass

best effects.
The old calllopsls, "lady's breastpin"
they used to call it, is a handsome
plant. Its long, slender stems render

Some handsome forms of single

packet of the seed in pots early in the
spring and transplanting the young
seedlings to the garden as soon as
danger from frost Is over.
The colors of some is very fine, and
to one liking the single flowers, the
plan is a good one of getting a variety
at a small cost.
Unless started very early, these
seedlings rarely mature tubers that
will keep througli the winter, though
they commence flowering almost as

will keep ln bloom much longrr and
the blooms will be larger if you pay
attention to this little detail. Pansies
and sweet peas particularly require
looking after.
Use your flowers ln borders and
around the sides of your lawn. Never
make flower beds in the center of your
lawn. A bit of green-turf, well-cared
for. Is an asset to any home grounds.
If you want a soft, thick turf on
your lawn, mow It often and let the
clippings He where they fall. This
keeps the soil from drying out too
much and helps, fertilize It as It de
cays.
Support sweet peas on a hedge of
brush. This is better than poultry-
netting, as the sun does not heat It and
burn the tender tendrils of the cling-

Plant your shade trees far enough
away from the bouse to allow the air
to circulate around the .house. Sun

windows too much.
Do not plant your flowers too close
together. Give them all a chance for
life. Pansies should be plunted ten
inches apart; petunias and verbenas
at least eighteen Inches apart; marl-
golds, two feet; popples, ten inches;
zinnias, eighteen inches and phlox a
foot. Flowers will not be plentiful or
thrifty if grown too close together.
Nothing is better for winter bloom

the soil moist until the leaves appear,

There Is another class of boys be

an Idealistic preference for some occu

Psychological examinations might
determine whether the boy really had

Ideals on the subject were purely imi

whether he would do better at the call

In deciding this question, the antipa

It has often been found, when a parent
