HUTU'S VISIT.
Ruth Irving sat despondent and
alone in her pretty sitting room, her
head rested on her hand, and her
heart was heavy in her bosom.
The every day routine of life op
pressed her. The everlasting
sweeping, dusting, ; baking; so
many pies, so many cakes and pud
dings to be manufactured and con
sumed daily, really distressed her.
was it right she wondered to be
stow so much thought and care
upon the body which could be
nourished with so much less trouble
and expense. She was tired, des
perately tired of it all. She almost
thought a real grievance would be
6aser to bear, there she could have
looked lor s ympatny, ana Had the
relief of real" tears. ' ow jf she
ventured to hint her feeling, people
prompuy replied: " :
"lou ought to be thankful you
have something to cook," and it
was true, she ought, and so she
was, and yet Ruth did not realize
that it was not the multitude of
confections, nor the everyday rou
tine that warped her soul. .
Rousing herself from her reverie
as the clock struck, she assumed
her out-door attire preparatory to
paying a visit which ' ddty and
friendship required of her, but from
which she selfishly shrank, because
she could not bear to encounter a
scene of suffering.- -
Mary Marlow was called upon to
part with the neat little home upon
which she had fixed her hope and
affection. For years she had toiled
beyond her strength in the hope of
being able to retain this cherished
snot.. At this home her children
had been born, and from its shelter
one had been buried: here she had
received her friends, and everv
nook and cranny was fraught with
some pleasant recollection. Her
hands had planted the roses and
verbenas which . brightened the
grass plot, and traiued the honey
suckle and wisteria that adorned
the lattice. '.But : the . combined
efforts of herself and husband had
been in vain, ' losses," and sickness
had prevented them from meeting
just demands and iiow they were
obliged to part with this house and
shift for themselves (is best . they
could. ' ..,"''' . .
Ruth paused on the doorstep, felt
in her pocket lor her clean hand
kerchief and mentally .rehearsed
the condoling sentences she, had
deemed , suitable to the sad occa
sion. ,:;.,-.. '.". ' '
, The composed and -cheerful,; wo
man who answered her , ring as
tonished her not a little but she'
made no audible comment and fol
lowing her friend's cue salutedyher
as if nothing ha(I happepe"&I
A little half-flnished dress' lying!
across a chair attracted' her atten
tion when i8her;flrsiCientered;.tlie
room and she was glad , to seize on
an indifferent topie of conversation.
' "Who1 is that' fori yoa have no
child of that age;." 1 v '"v : ,
"O that i3 for little May, Grant,
her mother you ' know is old,-- and
has very poor eycsightf and -1 am
trying to get May' ready to attend
Sunday school, "she is' so disap
pointed when our girls go and Bhe
is obliged to remain at houie. that
I thought I would try to finish her
dress before next Sunday, but really
I am so busy I am afraid I cannot
accomplish it. i
There was a choking sensation
in Ruth's ' throat as she 1 said.
"Where are you going to movef" 1
The brave voico did falter a little
as Mary answered. ' "We have no
placo in view, as yet.?' .
1 Ruth, understanding that owners
the bankrupt man, did not think
her friend frivolous when she re
' tamed to the subject of little frills
and flounces and cheap lace edg
ings, when she returned home an
hour later she carried in her hand
a parcel which contained a little
sacque which she had volunteered
to make hi order to assist her friend
in her charitable work, and she car
ried beside an idea which was
destined to bear good fruit. ; . , .,
Happy under the circumstances
Mary conld scarcely be, yet it was
not her forehead that was wrinkled
with discontent. . - --
Ruth sat down to the sewing
machine and working with a will
upon the little ' garment reviewed
rapidly in her own mind the con
tents of various boxes and bundles
stowed away in her house. A frill
from here, a little feather from
there, and a handkerchief from
another were added to complete
little May's outfit, and in doing
even this small service for another
Ruth lelt her soul relieved ": from
part of its wonted oppressions.
She did not soon forget ' Mary's
example. She had gone prepared
to endure the sight of tears and
Iamoiitations, but the kindness of
the heart which even in its own
wretchedness had thought for the
comfort and good of others, sur
prised and reproved ber, and much
cogitation on this subject, and
many new plans and resolutions
drove away her morbid feelings,
and kept her from dwelling on the
monotony ot much cooking, and
beneath the accustomed hands the
next batch of pies and cakes almost
made themselves,

Love is blind, but love is not deaf.
so don't snore.
Do not be in a hurry to buy all
the new fabrics you see. A richly
dressed woman runs the risk of be
ing mistaken for a servant girl.
Do not threaten to go home to
your mother oftener than five times
a week. As you don't go ho may
eventually begin to doubt your sin
cerity.
Do not get angry when your hus
band first asks you to darn his
stockings. Smile sweetly and sug
gest that it would be cheaper to buy
new ones.

and keep both it and the range go
