I found that I was not mistaken in the cursory Impression I had gained that the women resented Mrs. .Smith's actions. Almost every woman's face looked as if she were trying to pend a message of sympathetic good cheer to me.

C..M(. KFPORTS SHOW siij;xiii jti;srirs Canning reports which are being received by Miss Leila Ogle, city

home demonstration agent, show the ',

practical results of using the cold pack method. Xot all of the reports have been received, but a few will serve to illustrate that the cold pack method is much superior to the open kettle method. One woman reports that out of 72 quarts of vegetables canned by the cold pack method three were lost, and out of 17 by the open kettle method four were lost. The same, woman lost three cans of fruit out of 42, prepared cold pack, and two quarts out of 10, open kettle. One woman was unusually successful, losing :une out cf 60 quarts ; pack and 10 open kettle. Another housewife lost but one quart out of 71 U cold pack. A report from ai vacant lot gardener in the Houth part of the city hows what can be done with a small piece of grounc . In the beginning of the reason HI was expended on the garden for fertilizer seeds, plant, etc. More than 110 worth of grten beans have been old from the garden and they are still selling between 40e and ZOc worth a week, and have given away quantities of them. In addition there has been canned from ihe garden, cold pack method. 4 0 quart of green beans, five pints of carrots, seven pints of corn. 26 pints of peas, and 4 4 quarts of tomatoes. Twenty-four quarts of green bean have been brined, as have also three pints of cauliflower, one gallon of tomatoes, two pints of peppers, and one gallon of pickles. An unusual item contained in one report was 21 pint of mushrooms canned cold pack, with none lost.

what concern it may be of yours?" ' Perhaps you have seen the c li'ect upon an angry hen of having a bain of cold water thrown over her. The simile came into my mind involuntarily as 1 saw the blank look of astonishment upon Mrs. Smith's face when I answered her insolence by v. retort In kind. It had evidently not occurred to her that any one, espec ially one occupying a position paid for by the club, of which she was the virtu. li dictator, would dare to dispute any

.Mrs. Smith Ibrtorts. I could see the rejection of still another thought in her mind. The sight of the duplicate hat had evi-

j dently so angered her that she had

forgotten her usual poise. I knew that she almost would have given her right hand if she had not forgotten her dignity so far as to speak of the hat at all. But, even though I disliked her cordially, I could not help but admire the quickness with which she dismissed the incident. Without turning her head or in any wav noticing the amused and Intel sted faces of the club women around her, who had witnessed the little centretemps, she said. carelessly: Of course, I understand your reluctance to give the name of your milliner, and I trust you will overlook my rather natural surprise and indignation at rinding that the expensive model which I had supposed to be mine had been put into the hands of department store copyists." She turned away with a little shrug of the shoulders and went back to the rostrum, leaving me to follow as lest I might. The insolence of her tone and words was so pointed that I was

the biggest, cheeriest, deep-brown eyes and most irresistible smile that ever a dirty little scamp of a newsboy could have had. Kvery evening, the unconscious appeal of his pale and slightly sunken cheeks would be engulfed in his radiant smile, and the answering gleam that yearned in the eyes of the woman was all the sweeter because it c;ime less easily and had to form new lines upon that worn and dried-tip countenance instead of following the old. She did not live all alone In the world: it was worse than that. She lived with her widowed sister, that little sister whom she had so loved in her youth. The little Mattle who had left her mother and her beloved Jane to join her husband in Iowa the little Mattle who had returned, after many years, bereft and desolate, to an equally miserable and motherless Jane. It had seemed so wonderful, at tirst, to both, that they should have each other, but when they ..were finally reunited, they discovered that a great change had taken place. Each hid her crief in a different way Matilda, busying herself with trifles, and Jane, closing more into herself. It was not that Matilda was entirely superficial, but that the deeper side of her nature shrank before Jane's coldness; and it wai not that Jane was entirely hard, but that the softer side was outweighed by her scorn for her sister's apparent superficiality. "Why must a woman Rive up her own personality entirely, just so as to be a litter mate for some selfish and demanding husband ?" thought Jane. While Matilda sighed "I low sad to see a woman's whole existance absorbed in her work at the office while her heart is gradually suffocated. So each endured a dally friction and misunderstanding' for the sake of that dearly loved sister who had now ceased to be much more completely and heart-rendingly than if she had merely died. And the only softness in Jane's life had come to be tile fresh, natural smile that beamed upon her when she bought her evening paper. It was not hard to draw Jimmy out. It was not hard to learn all about his fragile, over-worked mother and the awfulnes of his Jrunken father. When she had discovered the bitterness of his life, Jine prized all the more, that free, unconscious gift of love and cheer which still shone from the big. brown eyes ami hovered around the laughintr mouth. lie was too much a man of the world already, to believe that Miss Morton gave him fve cents each evening for a twoent paper because she disliked penries hanging around, but he was

too little a man of the world to take It without some excuse. Of course, he could not understand, but for that very reason, he believed rer when she said. "You give me much more than a paper, every evening, Jimmy. Can't you make me happy and let me give you a little something?" "Miss Morton," he said, one night, after the usual transaction had

taken place. "What does 'unsullied' mean?" "Why pure and free from stain, Jimmy. Where did you hear that?" "My mother said it to me." he replied. "She said, last nicht, that she wondered how I could ever keep' as 'unsullied and fresh' if she had to leave me. I thought of that word afterwards because I was too scared then, when she said that about leaving me, to say anything. P.ut do you think I'm fresh, Miss Morton? I hate fresh kids!" "She meant a different kind of freshness, Jimmy dear. Rut tell me was it your mother who taught you to speak good Knglish?" Oh yes, Miss Morton. Father speaks good English, too, hut he wouldn't care whether I did or not.

if I'd hit her. I?ut it's awful hard. All the kid; speak that way and they laugh at me." "Jimmy." asked Jene Morton, a little hoarsely. "Where would you go, if your mother did go away?" "You mean if she died?" Jimmy looked bravely and steadily into her eyes but his chin ae an uncontrollable quiver. Ho went on very evenly, very slowly. "She can t die, Miss Morton. It wouldn't be right She wouldn't let me pray each night to a God who would take her away from me. She wants to stay and I need her so nothing could be stronger than that. How could she go when I love her?" Jane Morton hurried away. She had tried to answer Jimmy but words would not come.

"Oh it Is too cruel." "It is more than just

a belief crushed of him? How

he gasped, seeing such

What will become can a mere child

withstand it all alone?" She walked blindly on. She had passed her home and stdl she walked, with clenched fists and hardlined face. "Xo, she would never consent," Jane groaned. "You can hardly blame hert it would mean more work for her and she would not understand. He would just be a dirty little urchin to her. That little soul-child, that little park of humaness and purity would be a newsboy with a drunken father! Yet if I left her. how could I take care of him when I'm away at the olfice all day? We would have to have a home and how could I have a home without Matilda? And howcan I have a home with Matilda'? Finally, she turned and dragged her leaden feet toward that would-be-home. "I can't stand it," she sobbed. "And yet she used to be my little Mattie. I can never leave her and I can never love her again." The resolve to put it all to the test was gradually forming. But Jane hated to take away her last hope until it was absolutely necessary. So time dragged on and dne did not broach the subject. Put one evening, Jimmy was not in his accustomed place. Worried but at last resolved to speak, Jane Morton made her way home. Matilda met her at th? door. "Jane." she said, in her stupid, fluttering way, "Jane, I have something; to confess to you. I know you will not understand, but try to forgive me. It will mean a little more expense to you. I I, oh I can't express to you what suffering it was for me to do this thinp wher. you are working so hard already, i have never longed so to be able to make money. Jane, it was awful but I had to do it!" "Do what?" "Why well I can't explain. Perhaps you'll understand if you see him. My pride and your angernothing seemed to matter when I saw him. His mother has just died and" "It isn't it couldn't be Jimmy." gasped Jane. "Oh, do you know Jimmy, already? He's the little newsboy. He's just a little street-boy to you.

of course, but his mother " "Matilda!" Jane felt the world whirling beneath her. "Oh, God forgive us both. I've been trying for a week to get up courage to suggest adopting Jimmy. And I thouKht you wouldn't understand! And all these years oh, forgive me, Matilda my little Mattie." "Jane oh, Jane!" And together they went up to Jimmy.
