Carefully-en pressed, rather than sleeping, memories, ese had been. At a touch they had grown active, and swarmed about her like bees with a sting to be feared. But she listened, with a rapt attention that amused her oom- panions, to the conflicting opinions tossed from one fluent speaker to another. There were some who contended that poverty was no evil, and to abolish it would be to rob progress of its most potent factor. Others claimed that there was actually no overty worth speaking of, and glibly quote stati- stics to prove that the world had never been so well-to-do as at the present moment. One saturnine orator advocated the multipli- cation of prisons and almshouses, because industry created competition, and beat down the rim of labor. The greater the number 0 workingmen, he argued, the smaller the pittance their work command- ed; therefore, encourage idleness and crime, and raise the wages of industry by reducing its ranks! This speech was immensely clever. It bristled with trenchant sarcasms; it sparkled with droil humor. The room rang with laughter and cheers when it ended, but all the applause was to Miss French as the crackling of. thorns under a' pot. u‘rs :, , , An hour or so later, she was seated in, a. quietly elegant dinner costume, at one of the long, bright tables spread at Willard’s, this evenina‘ for the Six o’Clock Club dinner. here was a flood ef «light, a. glitter of silver and cut-cryst , a wealth of color in glow- in pyramids of fruit and flowers, behind wgich smiling faces and cheerful voices lent animation to the scene. Miss French was well-placed for the enjoyment of the even- ing. She had an escort entirely devoted, with asemi-detached young man on the other side, who was eager to occupy acci- dentalgapsinherattention. Andthreeorfour of the notable people present claimed her recognition, across the table. Usually she‘ was in her element in such I gathering; for she liked clever men, and met them on their own groundâ€"with a. reserved fund of feminine fascination. To-n'ght, however, her thoughts wandered, and er ton ue was less ready with suggestive speech an grace- ful repartee. She was glad when the din- ner of many courses was over, and the chairman of the evening announced the topic for discussionâ€"“How to Abolish Poverty.” “Yes, indeed, I’ll be ri ht glad to oblige you,” as she took the o ere money y. “I cert.’ ny do feel sorry for the poor little lono thingâ€"and she don t,‘ cot enough to feed a. fly, that} I the livxq’ truth!” “T to coax her appetite,” saidMiu Franc , giving hasty direction: about. 0 - ten and grape-juice. “She only 11 building up, I’m sure.

A tall lamp shed its rosy glow over innumerable pretty things. A brass bed glistened from s cur- tsined alcove; a couch heaped with silken cushions stood under a. broad window. full of bloominiplents; a deep recess was filled with welloc osen books; ictures were on the wells; and feminine sncy lied indulged itself freely in benbboned baskets end sil- ver toilet stticles. Government pauperism had an attractive look in this room, where Government monev had been lavishly spent for trifles. Miss French had never denied herself such trifles; for there lied been no _cla.ims of necessity on her purse. Her wid- owed mother had on income suficient for her modest needs; and her cousin would allow no mention of money between them, bein glad to make some return for years of .simi r obligation in her own homeless ‘rl- hood.
