my terms ia vain farmer gaalt raged and stormed and declared he woald be master in hisown house marian said nothing kept steadily tt work and looked after her mothers comfort but there was a calm determin ation in her dark eyes and a rm eipres- rioh about her curved lips that wore out herjstepfatbers useless threats andaager almost a yeafhad passed and marians patience and perseverance had stood many a hard test but what girl of twenty feela cot cow and then a desire for a new dress however fn different she may be to outward appearances a time will come when a new dress becomes all at once a vital necessity the new minister the reverend boge- harwood had cocsclted her about the customary piooic for the sundayschool children and as ooe of the principal teach ers marian felt hat she must present a decerning and satisfactory appearance the new minister was yoncg and hand- some and he had complimented marian on her particular class and marian felt a sad den elation a glow about the heart and a thrill of pleasure scch as she had never be- fore experienced and as she walked home repeating over to herself the reverend mr hsrwoods pleasant words and hearing again the sound of his pleasant voice she became suddenly aware that her dress was old and out of date her hat shabby her gloves threadbare and her boots worn and broken a pang of mortification sacceeded her pteviocs agreeable senaatians and the rest ofithe walk home was spent ia the effort to defrise some means by which these grave ana unbecoming faults of costume might be rectified itha cobbler in the village for whose aick wife marian had done many a little ser vice mended the broken boots till they locked as good as new and insisted on far- niahing a new pair to be paid for at the wearers convenience a eharming new n was manufactured by marians own daft fingers from an oldfashioned leghorn straw hat that bad been saved from mrs gkults early wedded days when marians own father had loved to see his pretty wife becomindy drossed and a pair of genuine french kid glovei spared by years and inpths were raked oat frora the same al- rrott forgotten stores oifher mothers girl hood by ood cbancethey had

purchased the lovely organdie muslin with several yards of ribbon to match she well it is useless to denyjhat she felt a sharp pang of regret for a moment bat in the next she said bravely 0 it will beo becoming to you errsuy too and i have the aatne complexion and i did want that dresa for myself bat no matter v and after all marian had no new dresa fcr the sundayschool picmc bai herold white muslin was ao beautif oily ironed and her mother had dirued the rents so care fully tud goodness and sweetness did ao envelop her like a garment that the rev erned mr harwood thought her the love
