" serves in an, other, so says a writer on the Lon- don Sketch. But it is not, with her, a case of neck or nothing; her Graoe has a rare faculty for for- getting her own 'graces, For months her whole attention has been given to the figures, not of fashion -books or Tango, but of sweated labor. She has come to grips with a sub, ject that is too painful for most The-- DiMheas of Marlborough: people to think about even at a safe distance. Her- statement of the facts is concise, convincing, terri- ble. Her friends would far rather she thought a,nd talked of the things of her own world. "Let.them fight it out themselves; we can never understand them," is -the sort of advice she is always getting. "But you don't let them fight it out themselves " she answers; "every time you go shopping injudiciously your money is given to the bad cause of the employers. Ever"jr time you are careless and buy the products of sweating, you subsidize the evil systein." She rattles out her statistics as easily, and charmingly, as another duchess rattles out Epsom prices. Though with less ,American accent than an average Englishwcmian ac- quires in ar fortnight in California, she has, nevertheless, an Ameri- can's sense of headlines. She puts her case with extraordinary brevity and effect. If you want to know the facts about the east end do not go to the east end, but go to Sunder- land ,House, Mayfair, when the duchess is telling, in her young, steadfast, and convincing voice, the things she .has learned during years of constant study. "There are thou- sands of women. and girls who are suffering actual hunger want and destitution though they axe work- ing every available hour all the year round"—that is the gravamen of her charge against the existing order. The Duchess of Marlborough's philanthropy has not been spasmo- dic. During several years she has spent more time at East Ham than at Blenheim, though in no sense has she left the world in which she finds She and her campaign carry most weight, She does not relinquish her houses, nor her parties, nor her pearls.. Her fascination does not wane nor her youth turn to grey- ness because she has things to do and things to say, and a sot of very 'cruel and depressing observations always on her mind and in het heart. By station, by habit, by the very finish of her features and the elegance of her build, slice belongs to a world of trivialities and lux- ury; her manner, minus a certain seriousness that will not be wholly hidden Oren by the mask and domi- no of fashion, is the manner 'of Vanderbilt- cum Marlborough, of Fifth-Avenue-cuni-Blenheim, of a perfeet worldliness of the most at- tractive sort. )3ut it is made more dharming than the most coniplete worldliness ean ever be by the soft- ening influence of her large,sympa-,, thie s, The <h mm remains, in a fuller beese that l!alteat1 Hired, is apt to thi k, an A mer1.-an. tthe is abs dud by i51 it l';'ig?aed, and iti thc.re for gj.d, si-k: bolds to her aith in the States and her natural passion fey her country.

But if her guest in Yorkshire not lung ago was Mrs. Pankhurst, it does not follow that the duchess has given her support, to militancy. On many paints those two were in agreement; on many others they were in opAsition. In Ameriea her Grace could, like her mother, be an out-and-out suffragette, because itt America out-and-out suffragiSM wins the vole without recourse to extreme measures. All the •duch- ess's chid problems have been en- eountered in reconciling of Eng- glish and American habits of mind, Aed East Ham believes she is solv- ing many of them with something very like genius. +1. A MEMORY OF JENNY LIND. One Who Met Her Tells About the great Singer. in 1884, writes a friend of the Com- panion, my father moved from New Hampshire to a little Canadian settle- ment on the stage road halfway be- tween Waterloo and Mon.treal. There he set up an inn for the convenience of the traveling public, who wished to break the tiresome journey by stage. There had been a distillery on the place, but, true to his principles, father promptly destroyed it, and had hit sign painted "The Temperance Inn," so that no one might mistake the character of the place. Our nearest neighbors were French People, who had no children; but there were six of us,' so we did not get lonesome. The daily arrival of the stage never ceased to be exciting. Then there were other travelers in chaise and on horseback, and once a year a caravan of animals passed through: Think of six children hav- ing a whole menagerie to themselves. We enjoyed the elephants espacially. There was a lake a little way from our house where the men took them to bathe. It was great snort to watch the big animals squirt water over one another with the'r trunks. Our house would look very bare in these days of palatial hotels. There were no carpets on the floors, but Irish Norah, the maid, kept them im- maculately clean by daily scrubbings. On extra occasions our mother would sand over the floor of the public re- ception room in -intricate patterns, and then woe betide the youngster who ventured itt to disturb the work of art. One day there was the air of pre- paration that always preceded the -arrival of a special guest, whose conaing had beer previously an- nounced, We asked no questions, for in those days children did not inquire into the doings of their elders, but we stationed ourselves where we Na.Dru.Co Laxatives are different in that they do not gripe, purge nor cause nausea, nor does continued use lessen their effecti vett ess You, eau always depend on them. 25C, a box at your Druggist's, 17$ RatiOal Drug end otended co et Conada Choose which Grain you like bait for your white Sugar and buy St. Lawrence Pure Cane Granulated white,ia original bags—Fine grain, medium or coarse.

The woman wore a veil, so we conht not see her face; but her clothing looked rather shabby, so we ran into the:" - kitchen to tell Norah that iao one of any account had come. North was not in sight, but presently she bustlej in, very much excited, "It you childer want to see the greatest singer in the world," she said, "jist pape itt the dining room at the end of the table be your faythor," We "pa,ped," and there sat our plainly dressed traveler, She had a sweet face, but we could not under- stand why "the greatest singer in the world" should wear an old black dress with patches at the elbow (I saw them. myself). As we pushed and scuffled in our eagerness to see her, the door swung wide open to our great con- fusion. My father shook his head at us, but the lady laughed, As we beat a hasty retreat, I skrv that She was speaking to him. We felt we were great offenders, and when father came out into the kitchen a few minutes later, we ex- pected a reprimand. But he only sa,id, "You. children may go into the parlor for awhile. Miss Lind wants to see you." It was a very bashful company that flied into the TOOLE. The great singer sat in a low rocking -chair by the fire- place, and as we entered, beckoned us to come to her. I was the smallest of the group, so she lifted me up to her lap, and then she began to sing to us. I wish that I could remember what she sang, but we knew nothing about songs or music, and could only feel the beauty of the tender voice and the charm of the woman herself. I am sure ,Tenny Lind never sang to a more appreciative audience, or left a sweeter memory behind her,- ee • Maid—ilf you please, m'a], it could command a good view of the man has called with. a hill."
