with trembling- angora unfolded her socka lace caps ribbons and littlo white glfta she was thinking beyond a doubt it had been a great religious convention the religious papers were full of it x even the daily papers had contained columns about it with condensed reports of the more striking utterances of the loading speaker there had been photographs of the leaders and these had found their way into the press with noted names underneath the wppjlkftr had considered grftve problems they had laid deep plans there had been discussion of condt- lions at home and abroad great men had participated from america and from lands beyond the sea it was over at last and the outgolnflr trains wero filled with clergymen and lay delegates who crowded the sleeping- cars to overflowing two noted men found themselves in the eame car they were both tired enough but neither was able to sleep and so they taked for a long time they had much to talk about for both liad been prornlnent in the meet ings their names had appeared on the programmes with titles before and capital letters following they had been in evidence in the discussions sometimes on the same side and some times opposed they were grlad of some things and regretted others so their minds were full and in time the conversation turned to a discussion of the man who most of all had shown himself a great man during the meet- lners there is one man whom i have been thinking a good deal of sold one of these two men do you remember brlnkerhoff i remember a man of that name who was in the class below me in theology he went into home mission work i think x dont remember any thing else of that man thats the man he has remained in that work i had a talk with him and it impressed me as few things did at tho convention you surprise me he was a good fellow as i recall him but i never have thought of him as a great man well he is be boa spent these fifteen years in a little obflcure field in the upper tonmsula of michigan his church has thirtytwo members his field is approximately seven miles square his salary is four hundred dollars a year and he has a little farm he asked a little help for his people in the improvement of their church building for they are poor and few and i was so busy i tried to put him off but something in his way of put ting things took hold of me and i took him to luncheon and he told me about it he rides over that diocese of nls in all weathers carrying comfort and light to those scattered homes be- sides his little church he has a half- dozen echoolhouses where he preach es he has sent a dozen young people to college and two young men into the ministry he has driven out saloons and im proved the schools and exalted the ideals of that territory he has simply teaiened that district and made it a bright spot on the map i get so interested in beaxinj him 131 oririhattwaj lateattbe after- noon session and missed the address ihst 2 wanted most to hear hut i counted myself well repaid every minute x found in my jaeaxt v new sense of wtyilen for tfae i main and a- new measure of succeats and great peas that man has never risen in the ministry he never will rise and dost know but that it will he because he is already so imt above the res 6 us it is no cant but m solemn convic tion when 1 say that of alkmen i met at the convention brlnkerhoff stns- out in my mind as tjie man whip is doing the greatest work quite natural fibe was the elegant and gracious mistress of a one old mansion in little towind her caller was an n- cient sociologist- his seat was near the window and aa they talked he oh served an aged whitewash- rpisabed and shabby going by with his ju- suddenly the man nauaed retraced bis steps and came up the garden pain a moment later ttoe lady was taxm mooed to the door oh is it you heavy v the caller heard her ssy we shant be ready for ou till next week- i think there must be some mistake 7 there aiat no mistake and jt sunt the job x cam about drawled the voice of henry leisurely but the skirt that green dress you wear on sundays is fla out of a side win dei uuutaltj and tncres a storm comln like to be a downpour any minute nowand 2 kind o thought maybe twouldnt b improved by a soakln i thought youd forgot it 1 hadcrjedtjbe lady- i took a spot but with bemune and hung it over the wto air and forgot all about it oh thank you henry the door closed the guest heard his hos fl h upst and when a few minute tatety she reap peared flushed and laughing the storm had already broken and t amiable henry with bis coafcoltar turned up was scuddinji away into the distance before a pelting gale if the business relation everywhere merged as naturally and simply into friendliness as between your white wash or and you said the visitor with a sigh and a smile how much easier and fewer would the problems be we so have to consider henry is a very nice man and fire other dainty baby clothes thoy were not quite new some littlo child had worn them and left soft wrinkles in the ribbons and tho laco frills altec who had laid the clothes out on the bed hid her wet eyes in one of tho littlo dresses her own child had worn the littlo clothes and novor any larger clothes all the dresses and other things that tho ha by had ever worn were lying on the bed except ono dresa that had enfolded thetiny girl as she lay one day white and still with white flowers in her baby hands she had been two months old just be fore that day and more than two months had passed since then but alice remembered it as she remember ed no other day in her life alice wos still very young she had been out of college only jm year when she married the young lawyer who bad been silently waiting and planning for her before sho went to college two years later the little girl was born and she had been such a dear little girl and alice not much more than a girl herself had looked at her with the light in her eyes with which u woman from ihe beginning of tho world has looked at her firstborn child alice was very young- but she knew as in the beginning women knew that no other child can be as the first and the tears hid in the small wrinkled garments were very bitter alice did not yet know so many other things very very often since tho baby had gone alice had unfolded the dresseb and caps and blankets and wept over them folded them again and laid them in the places in which for eo short a tune they had been kept today sho folded them us usual but sho did not lay them all in their accustomed places she neglected several of each of the garments quite enough indeed for one child it is hard to give them away sho murmured holding the llulo white clothes to her cheek but x dont need them her voice trembled as she said the words i dont need them and she does it is selfish not to give them to her i dont need them and they ore too sweet not to bo used they are so sad when they are new and just a little used they must not be sad i will lvo them to her alice had with difficulty brought herself to the point of giving them they were so precious to her her mother had made some of them and her friends had made others some of the things alice bad made herself no hours of her life had been as the hours in- which she had fashioned that first dress for her own first little child and she kept it alone and apart i shall never give that away she thought as she smoothed the gar ments gathered in her lap never i think perhaps i do need that more than anyone elso can need it she went slowly downstairs to her mother who- had asked her to give the cherished little things to another woman who needed them her mother being a mother understood how prec ious the tiny things were to alice she understood too that they were sadder to keep than- to give here they are mother alice said putting the garments into her mothers arms are are these enough she lifted her eyes to her mothers eyes and the sorrow in her sweet girl face went to her mothers heart putting alices gift on the table she took the girl in her arms some day you may have another little child sbo said softly yes said alice but mother she she was the first yes said the mother simply she was too old and too wise to say more and although alice was her oldest child and could not remember when she had not been oldest alice had not been the first her mother iwgan to speak of- the woman for whom she had asked for the little clothes she isjnuch older than you alice dear she has five children besides the new one the new one is a little girl and she la poor but a sweet refined woman her husband works very hard and she sews besides io help support the family she was too busy to make many things and she didnt have a host of relatives and girls to make therm as you had are are tbese enough alice re peated she did not speak often even to her mother of her little girl but she kaew and it comforted her to know that ber mother understood tshe did not aay much now but she came very near her mother never knowing how much nearer still it might be granted iter to come her mother knew and because she knew she said you will take these things to that mother yourself wont you dear ob id rather not alice exclaim ed quickly vou take them mother i couldnt endure seeing her with her little girl it would be too bard she hid her face on her mothers shoulder 1 think you might like to see her little girl and perhaps you might ilka to hold her she paused and in a moment alice whispered would you have mother dear my dear my dear her mother aid yes i would have i did too alice- alice lifted her head und kissed her mother tenderly then she folded the two way8 ed her gather aonie of tho late sum mer roses blooming in the garden and witu the roses and the utile clothes she went to see the other mother and the other little girl the other mother lived near by and very soon alice was standing- at tho door waiting to be admitted she was about to ring the bell a second time when the door was hastily opened by too of tho other mojhers new liithj girl who could at onco increase an soften care i brought these for your littlo girl sho faltered they thoy aro almost new and i i dont need them now my mother told mo you might nd them of use she held them out and the other mother took them reveicnt- it is sweet of jou to bring them to me sho- said itmust have been hard they must mean so much tc you sho turned her face to her baby would you like to hold my little girl she naked alice had not looked at the little child and of this the childs mo her was aware hut she undert od without waiting for alices assent 3he lifted the tiny white- robed baby and smiling put iior into the girls arms she did not look at alice she know that auce had not had a little child in her arms since her own child had lain in them so still and white alices mother had tried more than once to bring it about and now now it had come about tho other woman rose and went to the other side of the room and stood arranging the roses in a tall vase and alice sat holding the littlo girl she had not supposed that she could hold in her urms another persons baby or that she could look thus closely upon another mothers child when her own toad lain so still she had told her mother again and again that she could not and her mother had not persisted she had waited she had found it hard to wait for she longed to comfort alice und she knew wherein comfort rests alice did not at once look at the littlo girl she held her very lightly but in a few moments tho warmth of the tiny body in her arms crept about her and warmed her and strangely sent soft teare to her eyes then she looked down upon the child suddenly she jrathercd her closely tenderly up to her she put bercneck against the childs pink face sho smiled at her with a soft brooding smile her i oyes lost part of their piercing sor- row a straiuso beginning of comfort came to her she understood why ber mother had urged her to think or to see and to hold the other womans child her mother had been eo wise sho turned to the childs mother and her face said moro than her words your littlo girl is very dear i hope you will like the things for her it was beginning to soothe her to think that a warm little plnkfaccd child would agaln wear the white gar ments sho did not stuy very long with the other woman a new plan had come into her mind and she went home to her motherwho was awaiting her mother sho said simply how did you know she did not explain what her mother had known but her mother understood i learned it she said as you have learned it so many mothers have learned it dear and so many willl be sure and help them i shall mother oh i shall alice whispered then she told her mother the plan that had come into her mind which was no other than to give to the other mothers who needed them all tho other soft white garments i dont need them she said and many persons do so i will find them and take the things to them they were meant to be used and it is j so lonely to keep them thus it happened that alice found other mothers with mew little chil dren and gave them all the clothes all except the ono llttfcj dress that she had made first she kent that all her life as sho gave the hvile garments and saw them put to hppy human living uses her grief lightened and became beautiful and hopeful and the holiness left in her eyes by her tears for her firstborn child deepened and shone even as her smile for her first born had shone i when the children to whom alice had given the little garments were learning so speak fullering words and to take faltering steps with the aid of mothers hand another child a second little girl camo to alice and her hus band to fill tho first girls place she was not the first born but perhaps because tho firstborn had glorified her place she was as dear with all that the firstborn had taught them alice und her husband looked at the second little girl and smiled with the wonderful joy that sorrow sometimes helps to lift to so great and pure a height she was such a dear little girl alices mother and ber husbands mother and all her friends made sweet little white eld the a for her all those who camo to see the new little girl exclaimed over ier and held her in their arms and admired her finally they asked what are you going to name her alice alice lifted her eyes with the old light that still is shining in them x am going to name ner for my mother sho said when they named the little girl alice dressed her in the dress that tho wives of two of the professors in one of our colleges
