Margery was wearing a new far coat Her beautiful black • eyes looked out from under a saucy fur- trimmed hat with a scarlet qulU on the side. Elvlry wore Mack broad­ cloth with fox qollnr and muff.

We’re going to have com­ pany ourselves for Thanksgiving," Elvtry gave wftuge sigh of re­ lief. “Well, that’s too bed.” she said. “We’re going to have a grand dinner, too.” - “So are we?’ retorted Lydia. “How’s Florence Dombey F asked Margery.

(Continued Prom Yeaterdny) j w d been out in more stonne What Others Say j “ Dr. Jekall and Mr. Hyde” may not be a great book but more than one worthy soul in the light of his own experience has found it true. Neither are the two famous Stevenson characters original, be­ ing nothing more than- well delineated reproductions of the average human, type. Few of us probably ever achieve the extremes attained by the saintly Jekyll or the wicked Hyde, but many go wiggling and wobbling through life inclining first toward lofty sentiments, high emotions and sublime ideal­ ism then leaning suddenly and distinctly i nthe un­ happy direction of motives and longings of the baser sort. The wind which stirs the waters beneath life’s somewhat leaky vessel is a treacherous one, likely to shift when we least expect it. Even the serious-minded young Sunday school teacher who hurries away each Sabbath mom to her class of boys is in constant danger of at least thinking ‘‘darn it” under sufficient provocation whether or not she yields to the more horrible temp- ptation to say out loud. Mrs. Hyde! The Jekyll-Hyde combination, however, does not invariably run true to the most generally accept­ ed tradition. There have been men whose very lapses have resulted in the temporary ascendency of the Jekyll strain. Thus one occasionally sees a gregariously inclined gentleman, plainly shaky on his several legs, yielding to the finest impulses of sweet chaijty and good will, giving abundantly of his material substance even when most under the influence of what at first glance appur to be Hyde attributes. Next day, with his mental faculties and blood pressure restored to something approaching normal, he will snap at his stenographer, talk mean­ ly over the telephone to his wife and refuses the Salvation Army lassie the little penny slie beseeches in behalf of the worthy poor. As a matter of fact it is rather difficult to de­ termine the thing most likely to elevate a man to the Jekyll class or send him tumbling ingloriously down among the Hydes. Inhibition probably has made as many of the latter as the former, while a proj>er ’ amount of intellectual aud emotional elasticity has been the saving factor in the life of more than one .fortunate individual who never is quite a saint or quite a sinner. Extremes are a gotxl thing to shy away from. Good or bad, they are likely to prove embarrassing in the end. wj»WT to ra tb W ^ with the story) ••t/oooness r exciaimea uyum. “How lo the world yoa do It so quietly, I don’t see. Come on to.
