THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SL'N -TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, DEC. 6, 191.1 Married Life the Second Year The Gold Witch By Stella Flores

PAGE EIGHT

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Second floor suits waists shoes - -millinery utierwear ! " shouted the elevator man a'i flung open the iron door. Helen, who was ni the back of the crowded car, tried vainly to wedge herself out. "Oh wait wait I want to get off here! " Hut the door clanged to, and the elevator ;-hot up to the next floor. Mere fhe managed to struggle out, her hat shoved on one side, and with that generally disarranged feeling that conn s from pushing through a crowd. Mereatfer, she told herself, she would walk- it was less wearing than getting in and out of crowded elevators. And now she made her way down the stairs to the shoe department. A pair of quilted satin Lvr topped bedroom slippers for Edith. Warren's younger sister, was what she wanted. She bad seen them advertised for 51.23. Warren had said emphatically that they could not spend as much on presents this year as last. And Helen was now confronted with the very difficult problem of getting a great many presents with a very little money. A QUICK PURCHASE. All the clerks were busy, but when at last, she was waited on, she made tier purchase with a swift precision which mildly astonished the salesman, who expected women not to know what they wanted and to look over the entire stock before they decided. "I want that slipper" pointing to a sample pair in the case marked "As advertised $1.25," "in black, size 3-A." The next on her list was a bureau scarf for Aunt Mary. On the first floor was a sale of bureau scarfs two large tables in the aisle. "1.49 reduced from $2.00" read the placard over the first. "$1.9S reduced from $3.25" was over the second. A crowd of eager bargain hunters, as many as could get around the tables, were pawing over and pulling out the piled up scarfs. Everyone seemed trying to get at those on the bottom. Why is it that the woman shopper always thinks the best article is underneath? Invariably, if an odd lot of goods are thrown on the bargain counter, every woman will ignore those on top and instinctively pick out those beneath. And now for a moment Helen stood watching these women pushing, shoving rudely, elbowing each other to get at the tables and then pulling out the scarfs from the very bottom of the pile. As there was only one clerk at each table, it was hopeless to expect to be waited on soon so Helen passed on to get her bureau scarf at some other store where they were not having a sale. She might have to pay a few cents more, but the saving of time and temper and wear on clothes would be worth it. A SUBTLE COMPLAINT. A little further on was another large table with a sign "desirable gifts choice 08c." Around this too, was an eager crowd, for thereis always a curious attraction to women in any assortment of articles marked "choice" for so much. It is a subtle complaint to their judgment, their knowledge of finality and value which every woman believes she has, to an exceptional degree. She is always convinced that if there is one article in the lot of more value than the others she will at once discern it. Still another table marked "Minronriate gifts choice 59c" was in the next aisle. The re were innumerable ask trays (did you ever know a man that didn't get at least two every Christmas?) hatpin holders, vases, pin trays, stamp boxes, paper weights and an endless variety of bric-a-brac articles. And now Helen hurried by this table with its alluring sign of "choice 59c" firmly resolved that whatever she gave this year would be something really useful though it was nothing more than a dozen good lead pencils. II was after five before she at last left the shop, carrying with her a number of packages for she had conscientiously heeded the placarded requests to "please take small packages with you." Outside it was already quite dark. There was a faint misting snow which veiled the brilliancy of the electric signs and street lights. A surging crowd of homeward bound shoppers with their many packages filled the sidewalks and overflowed into the streets. The surface cars were packed to the platforms. Helen hurried over to the subway, but here, too, the cars were crowded to suffocation. The force of the crowd carried her in and wedged her up against a cross seat. It was not until they had whirled past a couple of stations that she realized she was -n the down town side! How could she have made such a mistake! HELEN IS TIRED. By the time she had gotten off and crossed over to the other side it was twenty minutes tto six. Warren would be home before she could get there and he hated to find her out. But her arms ached with the bundle she was parrying and her hair and veil were -iisarranged, and she had no free hand :o fix them. When she came out at the station '.here were still three long blocks to

walk. It was piercingly cold, and her hands, already tired with holding the bundles now grew stiff in their thin kid gloves. A clock in a drug store window said three minutes of six. Warren would be waiting she almost ran the rest of the way. As she went up the elevator the mirror reflected her face, unbcomingly red with the cold. Dropping; the packages on the seat, she hastily drew out a pocket powder puff to subdue the offending glow of her nose she could not bear for Warren to see her like that. But Warren hardly looked up when she entered. He was reading the evening papers, his feet proppd on a chair. "Oh, I'm so sorry to be late! Have you been home long, dear?" stooping over and kissing him. "Ugh" drawing back, "your hands are like ice here, don't touch my neck!" "Oh, I know they're almost frozen. And I did the stupidest thing! That's what makes me so late I took the down town subway!" "Hum, that's not surprising you never look where you're going." But Helen had hurried into her room to throw off her things and then out to the kitchen to see if Delia had everything ready for dinner. It was after dinner that she brought out the packages and opened them. "These are what I got for Edith, taking out the fur-topped slippers. "Don't you think they will be nice for her?" Warren looked up from his paper and gave them a hasty indifferent glance. "And this is a wallet for Frank, and here is a hat brush for why dear," reproachfully "you're not even looking." "Well what's the use of my going over all tljat truck! This whole Christmas husiness is an infernal nuisance. I suppose from now on I'll hear nothing else. If I had my way I wouldn't give a blamed thing to anybody and I'd be mighty well pleased not to get anything either." "Oh, dear, don't say that! you wouldn't do away with the Christmas spirit." "Christmas spirit?" he scoffed. "There's a lot of Christmas spirit in giving something they don't want and then begrudging it. too! By George, how many presents do you sup pose would be given if everyone didn't feel it was expected and that they would get something in return. The whole darn thing is a mutual hold-up game, in which nobody gets what he wants!"

Some ten years have passed away since the feuvgoing was penned and I now find myself seventy-seven years of age, enjoying unusual health, have seen and heard in those ten years enough to make the heart sick and almost enough to make a man doubt the truths of revealed religion and become a firm believer in the doctrine of human depravity. Such persons who have carefully read the Bible and ancient ami modern history to the present date, will admit one fact, that prone to evil, that the coming of the son of God. has not made him an angel. That the battlefield, of Shiloh, Gettysburgh, Snake River, Atlanta, the Wilderness. Petersburgh and 1 might truly say hundreds of other places, might demonstrate that man is much as he was thousands of years ago. Calls War Outrage. That tho he has made advances in civilization, he has also made progress in barbarity and demoralization. He has committed crimes to which even the barbarious nations of the earth were strangers. When we read of acts of outrage, we generally confine them to a few leading desperadoes, but in the recent rebel war we find a diffusion all through the ranks and file from the lowest to the highest official and from the vagabond and libertines all earnestly engaged in the work of death, either by gun shot wounds, by sword and dagger, or by starvation, or poisoned provision and all seem to gloryin their crimes. But we are told that Christianity will cause all these evils to disappear from the earth, that a preached gospel will finally set this question and man's heart will be changed that he will become a new creature. This may be true but the evidences of that

If Christianity has not m:;Ce its impress e n the- national character of the i'uitd S.ntes where lies the fault? We have eiveT thirty thousand ministers with their church organizations e x-tt-r.ding their influence and power into every nook and corner of the country, they have control of our se-hoels and colleges and thus have the- training of our youth. One day in see:i is set apart for religious instruction and they are our teachers, they have' access to the public ear and the public conscience. If Christianity is not taught in its purity in the United States, where lies the fault? If it dee-s not bring forth; if it does not bring forth the- promised fruits, in the individual and national character, when and where are we to look for it under , such teachers? More than eighteen hundred years ago, an individual made his advent in

read George Fox's life, I could think of nothing but Christ's sermon on the mount it seemed to me that Georgo Fox had been on the mount reading that so often that he himself was the incarnation of it, for his teaching is a repetition of the Master's teaching there just an expansion and explanation of the Master's teaching.
