t

ft

HIS life Is as a highway leading out Into the citizenship of immortality. Any human being who has placed his feet upon this royal highway of life, evou

though his existence be the poorest, the commonest, tho most restricted sort of an existence possible, has received a gift past all computation, beyond all imaginable value the mysterious gift of life. He has before him all that eternity means to a child of the Infinite God; and this Infinite God is under influlto responsibility to do all Ho can to make this mysterious Rift of life to His child an unspeakable blessing. The magnificent fact of another life setp a talnbow of hope against all tho adverse conditions of this life. The luetlon as to whether or not God's

government Is good becomes as nothing In the face of the certainty of an other life and the chance of an Immortal evolution. Rlossome may seem to fade here, but they will come to fruitage in the other life. Ideals may seem to bo bhattered here, but they will reappear hereafter, aglow with u new splendor. Every dream, every hope, every pur pos9- all shall find realization at laat. Every shadow shall grow light; all loneliness shall And a prosone tb.-rt cltall be company and joy Tl'c bad which Is now nipped by the frost shall yet bloom in beauty and sweetnoss.

with relentles vigor laced until correctly they're encased ; thei forth they go, all out f breath, and tied and twisted half to death, but joyfsl when in some great crowd they hear remarks that make them proud such whispers as: "0, look at her!" U wonder who her modistes werel" and "How deliriously it swings!" or "Don't she choose tho swellest things I" Agai, the women lose delirht when some one says: "She is a fright!" or "Mercy, what a horrid shade!" t "That dress is cheap ready made!" or"Heavens! Lode at how she's Iaccd!"or,"Ever see such awful taste?" And still I'm not the least to blame? she is the picture, I'm th franw. I try to rustle like a Worth, aad try to look the best on earth. What puzzles me is why the men should growl like lions in a da whenever wife or daughter says she wants to buy me; why they praise my swing and lianp and goods and fit, and speak of me with kindly wit, if I may chance to grace and drape some other wife or daughter's shape.
