The Wilcox residence was a bower of beautiful blossoms ar tistically arranged, and the hostess was assisted by a group of prominent matrons . and maids.

ARDINAL GIBBONS,, in an address to the students of a New Jersey school a few weeks ago, said that what this country needs most of all is young men who place conscience above eiDediencv. service above nodularity and duty above pleasure, with a strong determination to create a religious im pression wherever and whenever cir cumstances demand. "We want young men of character, for character differ entiates the man," says the cardinal. 'Show me a young man with char acter, and I'll tell you his destiny. He is bound to succeed." If it was said of the personal char acter of the first Alexander of Russia that it was equivalent to a constitu tion, much more, in a free land, the stability of our institutions depends upon moral excellence embodied in the citizens. "One good, strong, sound man," said Old John Brown, of Ossa watomie, "is worth a thousand men without character in building up a state." Who can estimate the Influence of such a character as President-emeritus Eliot in enriching and uplifting our National ideas and standards through the thousands of students who went out from Harvard University during his presidency? The tremendous force and nobility of character of Phillips Brooks raised every one who came within his Influence to higher levels. His great earnestness in trying to lead people up to his lofty Ideals swept everything before It. One could not help feeling while listening to him and watching him, that there was a mighty triumph of character, a grand expression of superb manhood. Such men as these increase our faith in the raoe; in the possibilities of the grandeur of the coming man. We are prouder of our country because of such standards. "Character before wealth," was the motto of a great merchant who in scribed on his pocketbook, "What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" An absolute surrender, consecration, and devotion of self to all that is bet ter and purer and truer, is the secret of character-building. Many an individual has failed because ne was not a man before he was a merchant, or a lawyer, or a manufac turer, or a statesman because charac ter was not the dominating influence in his life. 7b-NiGirfJ How the Mice Causrht rnr. I T IS very queer to me," said Gray Mouse to his brother. Whiskers, "that Pussy lets us run all around this pantry and never so much as makes a try at catching us." "I suppose she thinks there are traps enough around here to do that," said Whiskers. "I am going to watch,'' he continued. "and find out, if I can, why she lets us run around here. Here she comes now run behind that dish; I'llget into this basket of eggB. Now keep your eyes open. Pussy walked into the pantry with slow steps, sniffed the air and looked about. She walked over to the shelf where a bowl of cream sat. and jumped up; then she waited a minute as if listening, but no one came, and Pussy put her nead into the bowl and did no remove it until half of the cream was gone. Then she gently tipped over, the bowl and the rest of the cream ran over the shelf. - Pussy then helped herself to a piece of meat that was on a plate and Jumped down. Whiskers came -out from his hiding place When she was gone and ran over to the basket of eggs, where Gray Mouse was hiding. "She ate the oream and took a piece &&&c5y-7 of meat: we have seen her do that be fore," he said. "Go back and keep qdlet." replied his brother. "I think we shall learn her secret if we wait long enough." Gray Mouse had Just time to hide as the door opened Just then, and the maid came in. "Goodness me," she exclaimed, as she saw the overturned bowl, "those mice are so thick about here that they tip over things as well as eat everything in sight. I'll have to get some more traps. Poor puss can't catch all- of them." "What did I tell you?" said Whiskers, when the maid had gone. "I do not see that we are any worse off than if she was trying to catch us all the time," said Gray Mouse. "It is either pussy or new traps." Yes, that is true." replied Whiskers, "but we know about the old traps and can keep away from them, and all we have to do with Puss is not to run bout when she is in the house." One warm day not long after this pussy .came into the pantry and looked about. A bowl of warm milk had been put by the window a few minutes be fore and near it was a dish of soup. Pussy Jumped up and helped herself. and by the time she had finished the soup she was sleepy, so without going out of the pantry she stretched her self out on the floor and soon was fast asleep. Gray Mouse and Whiskers were run ning about a few minutes after and suddenly came upon the sleeping pussy. "Now is our chance, whispered Whiskers to Gray Mouse. "See that trap right beside her tail?" Gray Mouse watched his brother, not having the least notion of what he in tended to do to the sleeping puss. Whiskers took the end of Pussy a tail and poked It into the trap. It was all done in a second, snap went the trap. Whiskers ran and Pussy jumped. And Pussy began to meow as well as Jump, for fast on the end of her tail she carried the trap. How she was freed from the trap Whiskers and his brother never knew. but they did know that Pussy was very careful not to swing her tail about as she walked for the next few days. And they heard the maid say to her: "If you had done your duty. Mistress Puss, Instead - of stealing the cream, you would not have gone to sleep In the pantry and been caught In the trap. Serves you right." (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure News paper Syndicate, New York.) Snapshots . Barbara. Boyd., The Girl Who Loses Friends. IFE at a Summer resort hotel is in--t teresting. isn't it? The indivldu- ality of each guest, do what he will to conceal it, soon makes Itself known. And it is Interesting to watch how the characters of the little crowd, gath ered for a few weeks under one roof, will one after another begin to stand out. It is like watchfng from a dis- tarfce the houses of a little town grad ually being lighted as night falls. First, the light shines out in one. then in an other; and so on till all the darkness is dotted with light, and what was an In distinguishable mass becomes separate entities. It was so at this hotel. At first there was pleasant conventional chat ter and the exchange of general social amenities. Then gradually the light that was in each began to shine; and the woman who did fancy work, the woman who played cards, the Woman fond of music, the woman who gossiped became separate from the mass and stood out against the background of the everyday hotel life. It was when this crystallization. If one may so call it. was taking place, that a young girl attracted attention. She was a rather pretty girl and might have bad quite a number of friends. But she behaved rather imprudently, doing things to cause criticism, and then went about finding fault with those who criticised. To me it was this attitude of hers that was the most significant, and most prophetic of her future. She saw no harm herself in anything sbe did, She never turned her eyes inward. All the wrong doing was in those who criticised her. They were gossips, old fogies, uncharitable, narrow minded she had so lack of censure for them. She heaped them with reproaches. But never once did she seem to think that their censure might be justifiable and! she herself worthy of blame. Her own conduct seemed perfectly justified and all the wrong doing theirs. One after another, she fell out with the hotel family; but It was always the other's fault, never her own. Some weeks after she had left the hotel 1 met ber again, and she had the same story to tell of ber new acquaintances. And no matter where she goes such will undoubtedly be her experience. Evidently she will never learn any thing by the loss of friends, by the holding aloof of acquaintances. She will never turn her vision Inward. She will never take the beam out of her own eye. We may be justified sometimes in thinking people are criticising us un justly. It is by no means an uncom mon thing. But If we find that crit icism continues to pour upon our heads, if we note that friends are dropping off. that we are always "falling out" with people, as the phrase goes, wouldn't it be Just as well to hold a little self-examination? Instead of casting a wholesale verdict of blame on the others, wouldn't it be wiser to see If we ourselves are not. If only in a small degree, blameworthy T If this girl had turned her eyes in ward, if she had seen that her own conduct was justifiably censurable, and had corrected her faults, a pleasanter Summer would have been hers. But what was far more important, a hap pier life would have opened : for her. With her present attitude toward life, one cannot see . that much happiness awaits. Whenever one finds that friends are falling away, acquaintances holding aloof, invitations growing few, life narrowing into small limits, would it not be well to look to ourselves a little for the root of the trouble? We may not be doing absolutely censurable things in conduct, but we may be ac quiring certain unpleasaint manner isms, we may be neglectful in little matters of courtesy or dress, we may be becoming prosy or dull in a word, we may be dropping away from certain standards that make us desirable as a friend - or acquaintance. Instead . of thoughtlessly blaming those who criti cise for their criticism, let us study ourselves a bit and see if the criticism is Justified. And if it is, why not profit by it? Getting A Start Nathaniel CFowlerJr. (Coprliht, 193 4. by the McClure Newapaper Syndicate.) The Employe's Home Library. AM addressing this article to the average employe, to self-support I ing men and women, receiving moder ate .salaries, who are able to live com fortably, yet cannot afford luxuries. They 'must eat wholesome food, they must have a suitable place in which to sleep, and . sufficient clothing. These are the three essentials. Then they must anticipate sickness, with con sequent doctors' bills, and they are entitled to a reasonable amount of diversion. These last items, however, are not likely to draw heavily upon their purses. Beyond this they should, if possible, save moderate sums each week or month. Then' comes charity, be It little or much. No decent man is a miser. Kisrhth in imDortance I should place a suitable home library, if I may call It such, a Bhelffull of necessary books of reference: In this library I do not Include fiction or any book for amuse ment or diversion, although I should advise all those who. can afford it to have the satisfaction of owning at least a. few volumes of the best in literature. First, and ahead of all books for the home library, is a large dictionary. As I am -not in the dictionary business, and have no interest in any, I will not express a preference. If you are In doubt, consult an editor, educator or librarian. The small desk dictionary won't do. You need the unabridged dictionary for the information it gives beyond definitions and spelling. I consider a set encyclopedia next In importance. These books are quite ex pensive and all cannot afford them, but they should be in the home library unless one has to make too great sacrifices to obtain them. Of course. both the dictionary and encyclopedia may be consulted at the library, but there are times when you want your information close' at hand. Compara tively few people appreciate these books, nor do they realize that the answer to over 75 per cent of answer able questions, in social, business and professional life, are to be found in one or both of them. Next in order I should recommend one or more authoritative books on the particular subject in which you are In terested. For example, if you are a great reader, and have determined to improve yourself in this direction, you should own one or two books contain ing selections of the best In literature, with brief biographies of the authors. If you are in the electrical business, a handbook on electricity certainly should be on your booksnelf. I should advise you to subscribe for at least one general magazine, if you can afford it, and for one or more magazines or papers which contain matter of special interest to you. Your home library is not complete without a newspaper. No book, no set of books, not all the books in the world, can take the place of the news paper. Although the bookworm may be saturated with knowledge and literary lore, he Is not a well-read man and he is not competent to meet in telllgent people, unless he is the habit ual reader of a good newspaper. There are no perfect newspapers, because: first, the public would not support a perfect newspaper, and, sec ondly, there are no perfect editors or publishers. Perfection does not exist in any profession. The average news paper, however, reflects fairly ac curately the doings of the present. contains information concerning both the present and the past, and anticipa tions of the future, which are not to be found in any other medium. You can live without a newspaper. You can live without salt. But why do either? CCopyrieht, 1814, by th McClure Newspaper Syndicate, l Do 'ot Lose Heart.

R. T." Of course it is proper for a young man to get ud and srlve his seat to a woman in a car whether he Is with a young lady or not. I knew a very attractive young lady one time who saia tnat sne would never marry a man who kept his seat in a car while a woman was standing and that she al ways welcomed a ride in a crowded car with a man whom she knew, so she could see how he acted about giv ing up his seat. A man who kept his seat was not a man whom she cared to have anything to do with, she always said. She Wont Speak to Him. 'Dear Miss Blake: While working at a certain place I met a girl there and kept, company with her. After I left lxiis place t. Heflmea to lose ner inena ship. About a month later I Invited her to go to the theater with me. She accepted my offer. I did this several times, and then one time she refused, giving a poor excuse. I let it go at that, and then did not hear from or see her for about two weeks. I again in vited her to attend the theater with me, but she refused. I had intended to give her a present, but now I will not, because she refused to speak to me. I have not seen her or spoken to her since.

She is of a sweet disposition. but she has one very bad habit. She will flirt and will even do so when we are out together In the evening. would like to make this woman my wife, but am afraid that she will not be true to me after marriage. Do you think my love for her will cure her of this besetting sin? I love her more than life itself and do not know what I will do if she will not be true to me. Please inform me as to what I am to marry the girl or give up my whole life? My salary is sufficient to keep her in luxury the rest of her life. "W. B. p." If you truly love the young lady and she loves you, I am sure that she ill not cause you unhapplness by flirting. Does shlel.'know that you are hurt by her actions? Are you sure that she really does flirt? Are you sure that you are not jealous? Perhaps you magnify the everyday courtesies of so cial life and think that she is flirting when she is merely making herself an agreeable member of society. They're Conalaa.
