It was at Hilton Academy, and was high among duncitement the pretty girls who were preparing for a presentation of the Cantata of Esther. "Who's that coming?" asked one suddenly. "Oh, that is the girl from Shelby." "That backwoods place! No wonder she looks if she came out of the ark." The girl from Shelby was drawing near timidly, and paused as she saw the forbidding faces. Tall and stoop dered, neith, hands that told of hard work, hard for Ruth Alden when she wanted to be like other girls; hard to wear that old dress with outgrown sleeves and skirt eked out. did hair so prettily, but there She welshed she knew how those girls wouldn't be time, even if she knew.

She must use every minute before school, for her invalid mother must be made comfortable, dinner left cooked for the children, and night there was even more to be done. She knew what the other girls were talking about so earnestly, but stepped back, percelving herself unwelcome. A moment later Harry Foster approached the group. He had the part of Haman in the cantata, and was sentenced to be hanged on the gallows 50 cubits high. "Here comes Haman! Long live Haman!" hummed one of the girls.

"And there goes Fifty Cublt," laughed 'Helen Avery as Ruth Alden, tall and awkward, retreated, slowly, wondering how it would seem to be "one of the girls," if only for a day. "Hush!" whispered Harry. "She's not to blame for being SO tall-I say, let her have some part with the rest of you." "She can't; she hasn't a decent dress of any kind." "Well, I know one thing," retorted Harry angrily, "you girls would better look out. Prof. Harrison says she will be the head of the class next "Don't stop to quarrel," said Angie Fenner.

'What shall we wear?" And all began talking at once. "Kings and queens wear royal purple, trimmed with ermine." "We'll get nurple cambric and for er. mine cut white cotton batting into strips, and ink it for ermine talls." "And what for crowns?" "Gild pasteboard with gold paint. Will Newton's shirt stud can be the Kohinoor." "Good! We girls will wear white muslin." "I'll wear my new silk," said Angle Fenner, who was to be prophetess. "How you would look, In an apple-green silk! You must have prophesying a costume." "You needn't talk about it! I'm going to wear the silk!" Ruth Alden wasn't asked to take any part, but one of the girls had said Fifty Cubit might be useful in the dressing room and told her to come.

On cantata night the hall was packed to the doors. The girls' dressing room was a foam of white muslin Fifty Cubit was here, there and everywhere helping to make the others beautiful. standing on Mrs. Fenner's best rug, When the ME curtain rose, the King, looked royally impressive in his duet with Haman. The chorus sang their "Song of Joy," and then the appeared in her silk, fluffy with lace and a garniture of roses.

As she bowed, her dress fluttered against a flaring candle-a scream and she ran. "Shut the door after me!" pealed a voice, and Fifty Cubit burst through the dressing room, threw Angie to the floor, and, catching up the rug, rolled her over and over. Another instant and Angle's father dashed over the footlights to his darling. Angle was saved, but Ruth's hands and arms were badly burned, and only her woolen dress saved her from a fate. worse.

Ruth! What can we ever do for you?" faltered Angle's mother. That night Ruth slept In Angle's room, and next morning Mrs. Fenner said. "Ruth, dear, we have sent a good stay here and rest. Angle needs just woman to your mother, and you must such a sister as "Here's something for you," said Mr.

Fenner, laying down a curious looking paper. "I'm not a man of many words. It's no use trying to tell you how I feel." "What is it?" asked Ruth. "It's the deed of Pine Hill cottage. I give it to you." When Ruth began to understand she could hardly believe herself alive.

That pretty house, right in town, to be hers! All day long she lay on the couch, with a song in her heart, until Angle came from school, but not alone; there was a roomful of girls crowding around her. "You dear, splendid girl!" they cried in a breath. "Do forgive us, we've been 80 cold and hateful, but we've planned out the nicest times, and you shall be queen of us all." Ruth looked from one to another of the tearful, eager faces and smiled. "I don't want to be queen," she said. want to be one of the girls." Chronicle.

HOME LIFE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. It is surprising how like the homes of other, people is the home of the President of the United States -without frills or frumperies-just the home of the average well-to-do American. The market wagon backs up to the door just as it backs up to ours- -his servants have to go out and buy food for the family larder just the same as yours do and in fact all the rules that apply in your own home apply in the White House. When you see how simple this all is--how unostentatious is the conduct of things at the White House you can't help but feel more than ever that you are glad you are an American. IN THE SUNDAY "NEWS."

"Mrs. Gowdy's at home" is referred to in this pleasant manner: "Mrs. Gowdy, wife of the popular Consul-General of America, was at home on Tuesday afternoon to her large circle of friends. It seemed as though Tout Paris was crowded into the pretty home of Mrs. Gowdy, and it is seldom one sees a larger assembly at a reception.

Miss Gowdy assisted her mother in receiving. whilst Mrs. O'Connor and Gaston presided at the floral decked tea table." Both Mr. and Mrs. Gowdy have many friends in Buffalo.

Lole Fuller, La Lole, as the French call her, is given a good deal of space in a description of "The Dance of a Thousand Yells," which she is soon to produce at the Coliseum in London, a creation. it is said, so marvelous and so spectacular that it will out-distance any form of dance ever yet seen on any stage. The Register describes it thus: "A thousand girls, with a thousand veils. will be so arranged on the revolving stage of the Coliseum that they will apparently fly through space, at times only their faces will appear, breaking through the clouds through which they pass, while their thousand vells will catch reflected lights similar to the effects used by La Lole in her own almost magic performances, The management of Coliseum have gone to enormous expense over the production of this dance, and they are equally enthusiastic over the expected result. Lole has become such an authority on the effect of lights and the combination of colors that managers producing spectacular effects often travel long distances to consult her, and there is hardly a theater today that does not in some way make use of the wonderful color effects this clever little American discovered." Miss Fuller has visited several times, always most punctilious in observing her social dutles and in keepIng the friends she so easily made.

BY THE FIRESIDE, A vague and haunting melody With a lingering sweet refrain, That stirs the waters of the soul, And thrills the heart with pain, A voice drifts through the silence, Singing a sweet love-song, And I see her with wild heart throbbing With a yearning so fierce and strong.

Heart of my heart! how I love you, And have loved you through fleeting years, The sweet voice falters and quivers And is lost in a rush of tears. 'Twas just a picture from memory I saw in the firelight glow, With a strain from a sweet old lovesong That echoed from long ago. ELEANORE NICOL, Buffalo. How to Warm Rolls.
