Miss Harcourt consented to copy

repacked by Lizzie's careful hands,
was duly trauferred to the Sedge-

Kathleen, when Lizzy came home
from church. 'Here's a hamper

'Wal,' said Uncle Jehial, who sat
smiling broadly by the fire, "I cal-

This tale of trouble had awakened
serious thoughts in Tdrs. Blake's mind.
. ,After a time she went over to Mrs.
Thornton's. They had an earnest
} . talk and before the younger woman
' left, she had formulated a plan. She
would give a W. C. T. U. tea. The
following day she sent out her cards,
ii'l bearing the words: .
Mrs. Thomas Blake. At home,
Thursday afternoon, W. C. T. TL
Tea, 5 to 11.
Her tea was a success socially and
financially, for her friends were so
taken by surprise at this new depar-
ture that they flocked to her home to
see her in the new role of patroness
of the W. C. -T. U. ,
The mother was sent home to her
eastern friends and a small balance
„left in the treasury.
The local union received a new
impetus. In course of time., Mrs.
Blake became its president.

sponded to an earnest Word and the
promptings of a still, small voice.

'We haven't got china enough—
no, nor yet every day crockery—to
say nothing of glues and cutlery,'
answered i athleern. • 'We hadn't
much to start with you, if remember,
and what we have is all cracked and
chipped.' .
Isabel's countenance fell. In the
Committee of Ways and Means, of
which she was chairman and men-;
hers, alt in one, no such emergency'
suggested itself to her.
'Couldn't—couldn't we buy a set?'
she faintly uttered.
'If we had plenty of money—not
else.'
'Hire it, Hien ?'
'Quite out of the question!' sharply
retorted Kathleen. 'You talk, as if
we were heiresses !
Five minutes of silence ensued.
Lizzy put one soft, caressing hand
on her sister's arm.
Bell,' whispered she, 'would it
disappoint you very, very much to
give up this scheme? '
'Unquestionably it would,' was
Isabel's curt response. 'But if it's

can't eat and drink without cups and

'So it's a family affair all around,

chuckle.
'Well. I suppose it is,' blushingly !
admitted Isabel.
Mr. Valdez made himself so very
agreeable that the relations, one and
all, approved Isabel's choice. Even
Kathleen, the family cricket, was
forced to dive in her adhesion.
'And the willer-pattern cbaney'll

Jemima, with a smile.

'Let's move away, under cover of

'There's but one thing to be done,'
said Lizzy, in her quiet efficient way.
'The plate must be replaced.'
'And how is that to be done, rd.

Isabel.
'Miss Harcourt, where I teach the
two pretty little twins their scales

aid Lizzy. 'She is very sweet and

kind. I believe I could get her to
paint a plate to replace the broken

could tell the difference.'
