It came Mary's turn to entertain for her. Mary was miserable. "I do not know how I can possibly do it," she wailed in my ear. "I haven't a thing suit able." I looked at her In surprise. "Noth ing suitable! And you with your beautiful home and linen and china." "Yes; but the house is old. Do you think I can ask Mrs. Lewis and Grace Sturges into my parlor? Their homes are finished in the latest style and my hall and parlor have white woodwork and the carpets go clear through to the baseboard," "Your rooms are beautiful old fashioned and elegant." "And then my linen " she be gan. "Double damask of finest quality, and always beautifully laundered." "But you do not grasp the differ ence," she continued. "The hems on my napkins are too 'wide for the style of to-day. One does not see much drawn work now. It is allj plain hemstitching or rolled hems. After the beautiful new ones, so up to date, that Grace used I could nev er ask her here. "My china is old. My grandmoth er brought it from England. One never sees that style any more." What was to be gained by talking to her? The only thing there was to do was to let her wail and relieve her mind. Her habit of making comparisons was bad enough when one was alone with her; it was almost unbearable in a crowd. "Do I look as well as Alice does?" she would ask suddenly, sotto voce, at a party. "Just look, most of the girls have worn white. I wish I had. Does this pink look all right?" Or perhaps all the others were in colors; then the wind set from the pposite direction. "Why didn't someone tell me that everyone meant to hare something gay on? I wish I'd worn my foulard. Madge has a beautiful foulard. Do you like mine as well as hers? She has real lace at the sleeves. I wish I could have had. Mine's a blue. I wish I had got a darker one, like hers. Don't you think the dark blues are pretty?" Mary was tall and slender, as wil lowy as a reed and as graceful as a sylph. Her bearing was fine. One day we met a woman so exceedingly tall that she attracted attention on the street. Mary forgot everything about the reception we were about to attend and the good time we knew we should have. "Am I aa tall as tnat woman?" 1 ignored ner ques tion, but she pinched my arm and made me answer. "Gracious, no!" I exclaimed. "Am I as thin" I reassured her as far as I could. But at intervals during the afternoon she brought up the subject again. When she saw a nice roly-poly fat little body she eyed her with envy "I'd love to be plump. I hate to be . Bkinny. Don't you think I'd look better if I gained in weight? I've done everything. I almost drank olive oil. What would you do?" "Keep quiet and not think about it." This remark but opened a new avenue for comparison. "Do you think I talk too much? I don't talk as much as Jane Anders Do you think I do? Sometimes I'd give anything if I could talk as wel as Eva. I don't know, though There are times when I should like to be silent and reticent like Jose phine.' Do you ftiing A bore? Of course she was. Sel fish she most assuredly was. She had subjected herselT to comparison until the habit had become chronic She could see nothing but herself and al! things must be compared to herself to her own disadvantage. We 'all know Mary, some or us perhaps are Mary and just needing to be shown up to ourselves. The revelation is not a pleasant one. No cme likes to be a bore; no conscien tious person means really to be sel- TWEIA'E OLD DRESSES. "It's going to be a beautiful party, mother. There are to be twelve girls, and each one is to have a fairy lamp at her plate. Oh, no! not twelve, either; there will be only eleven of us Belle Marks won't go.' "Why won't Belle go?" asked Mildred Smith's mother. "Because she has nothing to wear but an old dreaa, a real old muslin which has been washed and darned. All the reat of us have new dressea, and you know Belle would feel bad. We are sorry. Everybody loves Belle, and she knows so many nice games to play." "Couldn't you persuade her to go?" asked Mrs. Smith. "It seems to me she couldhave just as nice a time in an old drees." "Oh, no, mother, she would feel queer. I offered to lend her a dress I know you would let me but she wouldn't take it." "I like her al lthe better for that," said mother. "But, Mildred, did you offer to wear your old dress, too? Maybe that would make her willing to go." "Wear my old dress? O, mother, I don't want to do that!" "Very well," said Mrs. Smith. "I won't say any more about it. When you get to have as old eyes as mine, little daughter, you will see that a fine dress is one of the smallest things in the world a great, great deal smaller than giving to any body a single hour's pleasure. But perhaps I am asking too much to ex pect you to se ethat yet." Mildred went off to school feeling very much stirred up in her little mind. The thought of the new blue dress with its little frills of lace was very tempting. "That plain old white muslin is horrid!" she said to herself. "But then, it would be so nice if Belle could have part of the fun, too." Was it a white angel that stood at the little girl's side and made it seem better to please Belle than to wear her pretty dress? Nobody saw the wings, but I believe an angel was there. At the noon recess Mildred and Belle ran up to Mary Clifton with bright faces. "O, Mary," cried Belle, gayly, 'please ask me over again to come to your party; I want to aay yea' this time. Did you ever know anything so sweet? Mildred is going to wear her plain old muslin to keep mo from feeling bad." "You won't mind having us in old dresses, will you, Mary?" asked Mil dred in a joyous tone. "We are go ing to carry big bunches of flowers out of ny garden, and that will make us look fine." "Mind, indeed!" cried Mary. "I just believe " She stopped short off, and kissing the two little eirls. hurried without finishing her sentence. But when the twelve fairy lamps were lighted, Mildred and Belle found out what bright idea had struck Mary, for all twelve girls wore old dresses and carried hn riches of flowers. "Now, I'm never going to mind about my old dresses aeain " safr! Belle, as she kissed the others good bye. "You may all wear the newest sort of dresses after this, and when I put on my old white I'll feel happy to think how sweet you all were to me about it. I'll just love the old things." Olive Plants. was on my cheek and I opened my eyea wide to see the loving face of my husband bent over me. " 'Gertrude he said, huskily, gathering me close, 'this is your birthday, dear, and I haven't a thing to give you except a scrubbing of the kitchen floor.' "He had got up very early, and before going to his hard day's work had swept the whole of our lit tle house and scrubbed the kitchen floor. And the scrubbing of that kitchen floor, Marjory," concluded Mrs. Richards, with misty eyea, "was the most beautiful gift that I ever received."

"Why, my darling?" "Because I should have liked so much to have done something for Him." "But what could such a little bit of a fellow like you have done for the Saviour!" The child hesitated a few moments then looked up in its mother's face and aald: "Why, mother, I could have run errands for Him." "So you could, my child, and so you shall. Here is a glass of jelly and some oranges I was going to ' send to poor old sick Margaret by the servant, but I will let you take them' instead, and do an errand for the Sa viour; for when upon earth he salth: 'Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye did it unto me.'

It is continual plodding that not only makes life stale, but brings wrinkles and nar row minds. It does us all good to run away from duty once in a while. Variety is not to be measured by the ounce in its preventive value. Do you ever stop to think what a break-down means? How many of the coveted pleasures or longed-for rests could have been had for the doctor's hire? Occasionally flight from the grind is better than skilled specialists to keep one well ,which is the sensible modern woman's reading of "that ounce of prevention." New York Times. -Herald of Mercy. A FAMILY OF SETTERS. Farmer Jones was tugging at a barrel of apples, trying to get them up the cellar steps. He called for help, but no response came. After mnch struggling he accomplished the task, and just when not needed the whole family put in an appearance. "Where have you all been?" in quired the farmer in an angry tone. "J was setting the bread," replied his good wife. THE BEST GIFT. RULES FOR HAPPINESS. It was at a girls' summer school years ago, when one of the girls rose and said to Alice Freeman Palmer, who had been talking to them: "Irs. Palmer, you are always so cheerful and happy; will you tell us, please, how can we be happy?" "I will dear," said this saint of her sex. 'Twill give you three very sim ple rules: "The first is this: Commit some thing to memory every day, some thing good. It needn't be much. Three or four words will do just a pretty bit of a poem or a Bible verse. "The second rule is: Look for something pretty every day, and don't skip a day, or it won't work. "My third rule is now mind, don't skip a day: Do something for somebody every day! That is all there is to it, dear. You'd better try it." These three rules are just as good as when they were spoken; they will work always and everywhere, in the country as well as in the city; for wo men as well as for girls. They will make a farm house warm in the chill winter and a tenement cool in the blazing summer. They will help to make us masters of our lives. They are so plain that everybody can keep them. No matter how lowering and how'gray the sky, these rules infal liby will make the sun shine through. Sunshine Bulletin.

Begin at the forehead by.1 placing the finger-tips at the edge of "; the hair and moving the scalp in al circle; then move the fingers a lit-i tie back until every part has been! maasaged. If the hair is dry, or is! coming out, massage it once a week,' first putting a little vaseline or crude j petroleum on the tips of the fingers I Rub this into the scalp, getting as f little as possible on the hair. The hair should be washed about once a month, using an egg, slightly; beaten, or a very little pure soap,! then rinsing thoroughly. It may be quickly dried with warm towels. If the hair is dry and brittle, it may be cleaned thus: Sift together a pint of fine cormeal and a half ounce of powdered orris root.
