house. She sketcaed it all out and never
Ihesitated for a word. She would help
me to organize a shirtwaist club among
the girls over sixteen who lived right
near me. That seemed to be the crowning
delight of it all in her mind, that
the girls would not have to be out on
tne streets, Dut couiu just sup in: Each
girl is to learn to make herself shirtwaists
with my skilful help (and she
would "send.one of her settlement workers
to help me if I wanted her). Then
after an hour of sewing we are to have
music and chocolate and a social hour.
This is the sum of her modest suggestions?how
does it strike you?"
Aunt Hope's eyes fairly shone.
"Didn't I tell you I saw an opportunity?
I could not have told you how to
tise It as Mies Stone has done. If I only
were ten years younger to help along!
How are you to start It?"
"Well," replied Alice, still with the
touch of sarcasm in her voice, "there are
a few details such as that, which Miss
Stone left for me to work out. She spent
the rest of the evening expatiating on the
T*uuuui im luuucuue sucu a uorae as ours
could exert In such surroundings?she
called It one of the hopes of the city.
And she lays such stress on the delightful
fact, as I told you, that the girls are
right there. It's so charming, she says,
that we are neighbors."
"So it is," assented Aunt Hope brightly,
"'I told you so."
Alice dropped her bantering, ironical
tone. "Do you really suppose, my dearest
Auntie, that I intend to attempt any
such Quixotic thing? How do I know
the girls?my neighbors if you choose?
would care to have such a club?"
"You can easily find out.. They won't
come it they don't, and then that is settled.
What does Jack say to it?"
"O, Jack?he is willing?in fact, rather
pleased with the idea that the old home
should be a 'blessing to the neighborhood,'
as Miss Stone puts it. He says
It used to be in his grandfather's time,
for he was very good to the working
people, though he had to go farther
afield to get them. But truly, Aunt Hope,
1 have not at all decided to try it. Miss
Stone is coming to dinner tonight, and
we may talk it over again. I must go
now. But remember, and don't set your
dear heart on doing this?"
"But I have set my heart on it," renlio.i

begin. I will give each girl a sewing
hag?and how will you get material for
the waists? You don't want charity of
course. But there?Miss Stone knows all
the most Improved methods of such work
?mine are old-fashioned and out of
date."
Alice stooped for the final embrace.
"Never." she said; "yours are?divine."
Aunt Hope was not at all surprised to
receive the following note a few days
later:
Blessed Auntie,
"I am coming soon?but am too busy
just now with your work. My invitations
are out. I'll tell you how we manaf?ed
them when I see you.
'The ciiio organizes tonight?that is if
here is any one here to organize.
"Yours,
"ALICE."

Stolen Mail: Many reports of letters
and packages being stolen from the mails
at Christmas time have been made to the
postal inspectors of Chicago. Most of
these thefts are due to carelessness on
the part of the public, according to In*
spector General Stuart. He states that
Investigation has revealed that a band of
men have made it a practice to steal mail
placed on top of and near postal boxes
and mail chutes. As the thieves, one of
whom is said to be under arrest, have
not taken mail matter actually placed in
a mail box, the federal authorities are
powerless to act.

A Joke on Mark Twain: Redding,
where Mark Twain lives in an Italian
villa, is laughing over a practical joke on
Mr. Clemens. Robert J. Collier, the New
York publisher, wrote to Mr. Clemens'
secretary a few days before Christmas
that he had arranged to give the humorist
an elephant for a Christmas present.
He asked them to prepare a place for it.
and the family, unwilling to risk any injury
to Mr. Collier's feelings, prepared to
turn the garage Into elephant quarters.
A few days later a load of hay was received
with the compliments of Mr. Collier,
who sent word it was for the elephant
to eat. Next came a man who introduced
himself as Professor May, a
professional elepnant trainer, who caused
the garage floor to be strengthened. The
elephant arrived at night, and when Mr.
Clemens went to view his gift, he discovered
in the garage a papier mache elephant
about as big as a full-grown cow.

is delightfully refreshing and appetizing.
The clear, clean and
agreeable tart flavor is devoid of
the tang that an unskillful combination
of sugar and fruit juices
presents in the ordinary jellies.
It can be made in a minute.
Jell-O desserts can be prepared
from the seven choice flavors in a
hundred different ways, each so
distinct from any
other that they
never pall on the
