January 27, 1909. TH] 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?"

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 But there?Miss Stone knows all the most Improved methods of such work ?mine are old-fashioned and out of date."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." E PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOU*] EVENTS OF THE WEEK. 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.
