"I guess my brother is as nice as most young men. "Perhaps he Is." said the Girl Who Wore Spectacles, suavely. "I wasn't thinking of that especially. He Is good-looking, and when be gets Into his uniform, he'll be superb. I'll admit. And I was thinking how girls will look no further, but fall head over heels In love for they will with his mag nificent figure, his firm chin, his tine fnouth, and nose and eyes and all the rest. Oh. they're all right, I'm per fectly willing to admit. There Is something distinguished and noble and forcful about him. But all the same, underneath that uniform, you know and I know, will be a terrible temper. positively mulish obstinacy, very little genuine happiness in married life. The girl who marries him will have to live superficially. She'll never get from him any companionship for the depths of her nature. And yet. girls will fall over each other for the privilege of being Mrs. Ned, and the girl he leads to the altar will be envied by many and counted fortunate by all." "Ned has got some faults," admitted the Pretty Girl, reluctantly. "He Isn't Interested in much but baseball and going to his club. But somehow or other, he looks so Impressive that 1 havo always thought there must be more in him than there seems to be, and that perhaps the right girl would wake it up and bring it out." "Maybe there is." said the Girl Who Wore Spectacles. "I hope so. and ! hope he finds the right girl. But also I wish girls would look deeper than a uniform. But I suppose they never will And I do not know If I blame them al together. If Ned gets into that uni form. I am afraid my own heart will go pit-a-pat, though I can see beneath the uniform and clear through him. I suppose it is because most of us do love beauty and can't resist its apppeal. And the beauty that is patently before our eyes seems more real and satisfy ing than the beauty of character, that is so Intangible and requires such keen vision to discern."

GRAY, president of the , Woman's Missionary Society of the First Congregational Church, presided at the Easter thank-offering- meeting held in the church parlors on Wednes day afternoon. The attendance was large and the programme, prepared by Mrs. A. btaiger, was of unusual ex cellence. The reading of Dr. Van Dyke's prose poem. "The Story of the Other Wise Man." by Mrs. C. O. Young was a fine piece of literary interpre tation. It was interspersed with solos by Rev. Frank W. Gorman, pastor of the Atkinson Memorial Church. Mrs. Bischoff's accompaniments rendered the programme still more artistic and effective. Mrs. A. H.

Marian was aroused from her dreams 'by a delicious sense of hunger. Fretful halts at many little towns were mak ing it a tiresome journey back to the city after Marian's visit at Ann's, the artist. Aimless musings, induced by the almost hypnotic rhythm of the train's pulsations, wove through her brain as she had. settled herself cozily into a seat by the window and willing ly given herself up to day-dreaming. Her thoughts flew on ahead. She imagined herself returning to the lit tle room at the boarding-house, per haps to find a letter notifying her of some good fortune, perhaps of a splen did position awaiting her, a position that she alone could fill and at her own terms. Or better still, ran her dreams, the letter might tell of money left her by an unknown relative, or some forgotten suitor, who, dying, had not forgotten her in his will. A mil lion foolish fancies flitted through her mind. The sing-song announcement of the porter Temlnded her with a start that it was noon. In a few hours she would be caught up once more In the city's whirl, where day-dreams are short-lived. Anyway, I ve got an appetite, thank goodness, she thought, adjusting her hair and hat. "Still, what's the good of an appetite, without money to humor it with? But, guess 1 11 be generous with myself this noon, anyway. I'm ravenous." With a finishing touch of the powder-puff, she started her zig zag stfuggle toward the diner. "No tables alone," she was informed. but she preferred not to wait, and fol lowed her guide to a place at a table where sat a sweet-faced woman ac companied by a girl of 16, obviously her daughter. Marian ordered gener ously. She had always loved to dine publicly. There was something es pecially iascinating about eating on the train, with fences, fields and land scape hurtling past. The excitement of it thrilled her pleasantly. She fel happy happy despite the clouds tha threatened to envelope her happy, be cause alive, and young, and hungry. - Presently she was conversing with her table companions, agreeably an vivaciously. Their exchange of pleas ant commonplace established the fact of their common destination, and soon they knew each others' names. Mrs. Van Dine was the woman who sat op. posite Marian with her daughter. "V e were wishing for a congenial companion, said Mrs. , an Dine, cor. dially. "Thank you. It's good of you to say so," said Marian with a happy flush. While she had always been averse to talking to strangers, she realized now that she had lost some of her conven tionality. But she did not regret it. Something of an air, a chicness, about her vis a vis aroused her Interest and admiration. "My daughter has been admiring you all morning. She has decided that you are an actress," pursued Mrs. Van Dine. "An actress! What on earth made her conclude that!" Marian's rather wounded pride re flected Itself In her tones. For, de spite her stage ambitions, a certain hrinking, instinctive and invariable. always filled her when she thought of herself as an actress. You know how young girls idealize the people of the theater," replied Mrs. Van Dine, "and how anyone who con forms to their ideas of beauty must be an actress. You're not offended?'' she asked with frank kindliness. The woman's smile was so genial. that Marian, who regarded herself as fair Judge of the other's undoubted social position, was unable to take of fense. Besides, hadn't she tried her best to become an actress? What was there about the word that should of fend? And later she thanked her stars for this chance encounter. It led her to the brink of an important event. To morrow "The Future Grows Bright.' "rTW C.
