Last night I had to go to bod All by myself, my mother said. ’Cause I'd been naughty all day through. She wouldn't kiss me good night, too, 1 didn't want to let her know How much I eared 'bout that, and so I dropped my clothes right on the floor—■ A thing 1 never did before— And put each stocking in a dhoe— She Just hates that—and didn't do My hair, or waslh my face, or brush My teeth, and left things in a squash All 'round the room: and then I took Her picture and my fairy-book She gave me on my last birthday In June, and hid 'em both away. T put mv father's picture right Up in the middle of the light, To show ’em Just tho way I feel, ’Cause ho said, ‘‘Kiss the child, Lu cille. Don't let er go to bed like this Without your usual good-night kiss.” But she Just shook her head and turned Her back, and tihen my eyes they burned Like fire . . . It’s been a horrid day .... then, of course, I didn't say prayers at all, but went to bed And wished and wished that I was dead. Well. I don’t know Just how it was, For I'd been half-way sleeping, cause I was so 'pletely tired out— When I heard something move about So quiet, and the next I knew The door moved back and slhe came through . And put tier arm around me so. And said, a-whispering very low, "My poor, dear child." and was so sad, And kissed me twice—My! I was glad. —Harper's Magazine, THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY. I have no answer for myself or thee, Save that I learned beside my moth er's knee; "All is of God that is, and is to be: And God is good.'’ Let this suffice us still. Resting in duildlike trust upon His will Who woves to His great ends tin- thwarted by t'he ill. —Whittier. MRS. RAVAUD BENEDICT’S TEA.

Women all over the United States are braving conventionality and leav ing the gloves off. With evening dress it is not only prettier, but smarter to go gloveless, but gloves seem somehow a necessary part of street dress. Miss Farrar, however, never wears tlheni and she is a per sonage of sufficient Importance to in fluence the act ons of others. I notice that Lillian Russell opposes the idea vigorously. This perennial- ity youthful woman argues that it is unhealthy and dangerous to go about the streets glovoless—says tlhat the hands are veriable mediums of dis ease. An open question, I suppose, which will be decided according to the personal preference of tho read er." BEAUTIFUL LUNCHEON.
