From the very outset they had hit It off very badly with each other and now they were openly at variance. Mc- Kenzie had said some very insolent things to the older man with an insolence which verged tipon the profane, and he had done so quite openly in the hearing of the other members of the class. I was trying to show him the bad manners, the rudeness, the poor breeding of such a procedure, but I was making little or no headway. "I was brought up to tell the truth," he explained, "and he asks ine what I think. I tell him right off the bat You wouldn't advise me to play the hypocrite would you? When 1 think he Is a damned liar, I say so, just like that" "Did It never oeeur to you," I asked, "that there are times when it Is wisest to say nothing? You were not asked by the Instructor to express your opinion. You gave It unsolicited. It was quite unnecessary to Indicate how you were feeling and especially to do so before so large a gfoup of listeners." , "Well, I believe In telling the truth," he still affirmed, not realizing that truth aft^r all Is often relative and many times need not be spoken. He had not learned the very T»i» able art of saying nothing. I had dinner with the Holts not long ago. It was a sad affair, badly cooked and badly served. I knew that even from the s-mall amount that I had eaten I should suffer from indigestion as a result of the evening's gastronomic dissipation. If I had followed McKenzie's theories of truth telling I should have told my hostess on leaving that I had had a wrfetched evening. There were some mitigating circumstances about the affair, however. I had met some very charming people, the conversation had been lively and entertaining throughout the evening. I said when I left that I had had a pleasant time. It was the truth but not the whole truth. ((£), nig. Western Newspaper Union.) Mrs. Andrew Steinsdoerfer attended • party at McHenry Wednesday. H. E.

Anything she can do to assist you she will gladly do." Mary read the sign above the elevator door. "Courteous, helpful. Intelligent," she repeated. "Well--I think I could qualify." She let her eyes fall on the young woman who was running the lift Up and down In the crowded department store. The efforts did not seem much. It would take a little practice to be able to stop just at the right place, she decided. It would take a Uttle concentration to remember what articles were sold on each of the eight floors but she believed she could hold such a position, ' Ever since the automobile accident in which her brother had been so badly injured that he was still unable to work, Mary had been wondering what sort of employment she could get to help augment her widowed mother's not too large income in caring for the big family of children. Before the accident, Mary's most helpful place had seemed to be at home, helping to care for the children. Things were different now. It was the busy season and Mary found no difficulty In getting a post tion. -Inside of a few days she was dressed in the becoming gray uniform of the shop employees and was doing duty in the easily running elevator. Mary tried to live up to the sign. She was always helpful and she used her Intelligence. Even when the car was crowded and shoppers crowded and pushed and fussed and complained, she always tried to retain her oourteous manner, One Saturday afternoon she had an experience that proved her kindness and, In a roundabout way, added to the family Income. The elevator was "half full and at the rear stood a tall, pale man with a child in his arms. The child might have been two or three years old and was able to walk, but was frightened at the motion of the elevator and screamed and clung to Its father. They were going up several floors and the continual crying and screaming annoyed an irritable woman who, also, was going to a top floor. "That child should be at home with its mother instead of making every one In the store uncomfortable," the woman said, losing her temper. The pale and very much worried father said quietly, "The child has no mother." There waa d«ad sllence lii the little car. . When they reached the top floor, Mary stopped her car and stepped out after the man and the child. "My rest hour comes In a few mln utes. Wont you let me take the little one with me while you do your errands?" she asked. T i The man's face lighted Oft' "Oh, you are too kind," he said. But Mary, accustomed to children, Insisted, and it was not long before she had the little girl sitting comfortably In the restroom looking at a book. She had learned from the man that his wife had been dead only a short time and he had not yet decided on what to do with the child. They were strangers In the country from England and It was a difficult problem. During her rest hour Mary had an Inspiration. Why not ask her mother why she could not take care of the little one for awhile? She worked out the idea In her mind and presented it to the man. ~"I--I don't like to be separated from her. She Is all I have now," he explained at length. "Might I see you again In a day or two after we have all thought It over?" The man had an attractive accent and bis plight was pitiable. Mary's mother was only too glad to take In the man and his baby. The only man in the bouse was her disabled son, now, and it would mean an added income and perhaps congenial companionship. Tom El son--for that was the man's name--proved to be a very quiet man and Mary and her mother fell In love with his tiny daughter. She played with the older children and was well behaved. On Saturday afternoons, after awhile, the father got Into the'habit of going home by way of the shop where he had first seen Mary. "Mary," he said tp her one afternoon a year after be had gone to live with them, "would you mind my telling you what I think that sign in your elevator ought to read?" "No," v«ald Mary, "of course not" "It should say, 'This girt was employed, because she Is beautiful, lovable-- and wonderful.'" Mary was lost for a reply. Tom was a little afraid of what he had said. They were both silent for awhile. "I know It seems very soon for me to tell you I love you, Mary--but--* Mary looked at him. "But you do, Tom. I have known it for a long time and we are going to tell mother about it and--" "And it will Ife all right--won't It, dear?" he asked. By the time they reached home they had worked It all out so as to find happiness for themselves and yet make *uo one else less comfortable.
