Luctri g3nW CIPlardert
By J. GRACE WALKER.
Above the coutinuous din of half a
dozen sewing.inachines and the se-
cempanying clatter of tongues, a
single seatence reached Mrs. Wierse-
ma's ears where she sat making row
upon row of beautiful buttonholes—
her stint in the day's work of the
Ladies' Aid Society,
• -"It' eeems as if some of us ought to
go down there lore she, goes, and
give her a piece of our mind!"
The speaker was Mrs. Ezaa. Shoe- I
inak-er in the full tide of righteous
indignation. Mrs. Wieesenia hitched I
her chair round until she could touch'
Mrs. Bailey on the sheolder with her
thimble.
"Who they talking about, Mary?
Who's going, and where they going
to?"
"Why, that Lakin girl that lives
kitty-corner from siou. She's going
to leave her father and them two little
half-brotheis and go back to clerk in
the store at King's Mills where she
was before they come here," exclaim-
ed her friend.
"All 'tie, she hates to do house-
work," Mrs. Shoemaker went on. "She
don't like to scrub floors and such,
and she's going to keep her hands
out the wash water if she has 16 leave
that poor helpless family to starve'
to death. I say it's a imenia' shame.
and o. ght not be passed over without
hcr knowing how respectable people
fool about it."
"Some folks hate e housework worse
than others, little /virs. Thorns ad-
mit:ed. "Now I love it, scrtibbinand I
all, hut I've got a cousin—" •
-She'd ought to do her duty by her
Sani'las regardless," put in Julia But-
ler. "Nobody could hate to scrub worse
than 1 do—seems to me I never get
done—when 'tain't the kitchen 'floor
It's the baseboard in the dining r00111
or the pantry ceiling—,but I'll say
this for myself, I do my duty by that
house II I am skin and bone in, con-
sequence."
"Yes, you do, Julia," half a dozen
assured her.
..---ts'Ocurse--21alioda Lakin ain't but,
seventeen," Mrs. Thome added after
51 moment of silence.
MTS. Shoemaker turned on her a
reproving face. "Candace Thorns.,"
she inquired in a londi„ecandalized
voice., "do you mean to say you think
seventeen's too young to know right
from wrong and do it? Why, every
lady of us here was a member of the
ehurch before we was sixteen—"
"What I want to know is, who'd she
tell ? Mrs. Wiersema put in unex-
pectedly. "Sounds to me like hearsay.
To my knowledge there ain't a soul
, goes there, and she ain't a girl, from
her face, to talk much to folks she
don't know. I think she's lonesome,
that's what I think."
"She's likely to be lonesome the
best part of her life if she leaves her
plain duty," Mrs. Shoemaker said se-
verely.
"It seems she was next to Elvira
Shoemaker in the bank this morning,"
Mrs. Bailey exp/ained in an under-
tone to Mrs. Wiersema. "Elvira
noticed she'd drawn ,out all the had in
—twelve dollars,—and said, 'km
must he goin' into the city to shop
vith all that.' You know lio* young
' folks will speak, even when they don't
know each other. And this Rhoda, it
seems elm threw back: her head and
says, 'Yes, I am; going away
from this town to -night. • back to
King's Mills. And I -wouldn't come'
back here to live if I W28 to •be drawn
by wild horses!' Course Elvira flew
honie and told her mother, and she
thinks the girl ought to be spoken
to by a committee."
Mrs. Wiersema's face settled into
linos of grin anrusera.ent.
"I'm not one to want to serve on
that committee," she asserted.
A stir among the ladies round the
dining- room door announced the com-
ing Of refreshments. Ravelings were
1bruehed to the floor and laps smooth-
ed, preparatoxy to the passing of nap-
kins •and plates. Mrs. Wiersema was
thotightful while she stirred her cof-
fee; she gave but slight attention to
the sandwiches and scarcely noticed
when the began on Mrs. Pestle's vel-
Vety angel cake. Mrs. Bailey under-
,a,lek to rally her and received Only a
blank eye im returns Finally Mrs.
Wiersema glanced down at her plate.
"'Goodness me, have I eaten ray cake?
I've a mind to ask for another piece."
s Ten minutes later she made a glass
f wale):iy,Ksw.p3to follow her
ostess ihe kitchen.
"T know it ain't mihnere to eat and
ren, Mrs, POStle," the explained he -
bind ,the doer, "but I've just recollect-
ed something I got to tend to, so
sinwe to leave early. I'm taking is
t „bundle of work along and 111 turn

the back way to get -my things? If
one goes early, it always sets tie
rest of 'era of, and it appears to
there's lets of work yet to be done"
"Take buttonholes!" Mrs. Postle
urged.
Mrs. Wiersema looked through the
trees to the town clock before, she
turned in at her own back gate. It
was barely half past three. In the
house she stayed only long enough to
search out a seed catalogue that had
come the day before. Atter that she
lacked the door behind her, stiffened
her shoulders and made straight for
the Lakin house across the street and
up to its screened front door.
Her knock resounded ,through the
house, In the silence that followed
she could hear the drip -drip of water
from a loose kitchen faucet; but there
was no answer. The two little boys
were still at school, and if there sis-
ter was at home she made no neve.
But Mrs, Wiersema kept on knocking,
and after a while there was the quick
sound of an impatient step, and Rhoda.
Lakin came out of the front bedroom
and stood looking through the screen
at Mrs. Wiersema out of dark, hostile
eyes. The room behind her was spiek
and span, but inthe bedroom beyond
dresses hang over a chair, and a suit
ease lay in plain sight, spread out on.
the bed. This Mrs. Wiersema took in
with a quick glance •befone she said:
"1 know, you're Rhoem Lakin, lint I
don't suppose you have the ghost of
an idea who I am."
The girl only looked coldly at her
visitor and said, "No, I don't know
. . •
• "The more shame to me then," said
Mrs. Wiersema briskly. "I'm your
neighbor across the street in the house
with the blinds. Your little brothers
play with my Jimmy—Jimmy 'Wierse-
ma "
The girl continued to look at her
with tig-hteed lips..
MTS. Wiersema's eyes twinkled.
"There's one thing Pm not," she de-
clared whimsically. "That's a book
agent."
A glimrnex passad over the girl's
face. "I beg your pardon!" she said
dryly.id Of course—come in. arm
rather busy just now, but if there's
anything—" She led the way into
the front parlor and with an un-
gracious hand indicated a chair.

Fiftieth Anniversary of
Sun Life.
The year 1921 marks the fiftieth an-
niversary of the Sun. Life Aesuranee
Company of Canada, which in the half
century of its existence had grown to
be one of the largest and most sue-
ceesful life insurance companies in
the world.
One year after it was orgized
an , in
1872, the company's income was
$48,000; its assets, $96,461; and it had
written policies for a total of $1,064,-
850. By the year 1880 the income had
grown to $141,402 with assets $473,-
682,and insurance in force of $3,897,-
189. From this time onward the C.,e-
velopment of the company, net only
in Canada, but in stretching out to
many other countries of the world,
proceeded at a rapid Pace, as the

A Neighborhood Club That Won
Success. e
Looking back over twenty YeIars'
experience in a alai), the member -el -lip
of -which is composed of women of
different ages incl nationalities, I
have found that the best programs
were those in which every one teak
part, and the poorest programs were
those which gave most of the time
to an outside epeaker.
No*. We have settled down into a
routine in our club, and this is the
way it works out: We make every
effort, to 'shave our meeting begin on
tithe. The meeting is called to order,
and we take turns around, the circle
giving quotations of prose or poetry,
reporting some current event, or re-
counting a housekeeping experience,
and we emphasize the fact that a
failure may teach more than a sue -
cess. The program committed 'deter-
mines and announces a Subject for
discussion at the next meeting.
We have one invariable; rule—that
every member must at some time dur-
ing the year take a leading. part; and
at every meeting during the year must
take at least a minor part. Failure
of any member to respond helps: to
fatten the pig—a bank in the shape
of a pig which, when fall, is made to
disgorge for the benefit of the flower
fund. The member who ha to pay
a forfeit is the object of attention
-While she puts her small coin into the
pig, and s'ne is thus encouraged to
overcome her shyness.
A program is determined -upon for
each year and the general subject is
subdivided. Every member is respon-
sible for a special part, and must
either prepare or have some one else
prepare to discuss the topic assigned
her. Reading of a pafer is prohibited.
We have seriously discussed the
problem of money -making projects
fon women., but household problems
interest us most. One year we had
the house as Our subject and -took the
different rooms for each program.
We gave two days to the kitchen: We
had plans made by individuals, and
used,. provincial college and govern-
ment bulletins as text -books.
We have found that bulletins may
be secured on enough topics to pro-
vide textalsooks for several years. A
bibliography of bulletins giVes re-
quired information. When we have a
fanners' institute, we send for a com-
plete list of bulletins and hang them
around the room. It is interesting to
See /nen and women look them over
and note down the numbers.
- When Our girl members marry, we
give them loose-leaf cook books—
those made with rings for holding the
leaves. We first distribute the leaves
ainong I,the.members and each member
writes upon her leaf her best recipe,
which must be signed and dated. The
amount each recipe' makes is also
noted for convenience in cooking for
two. The leaves are then assembled
in the loose-leaf covers and the bopk
is given to the bride, and our brides
treasure these books for all time.
When one of our neighbors lost her
house by fire, we met and made
clothes for her and her children, One
of ,the members had everything cut
readyfor seWing, and two other mem-
bers brought their sewing machines,
so that the day showed a good "stint"
ofswork done. ,
Mothers always bring the small
children 'to .the afternoon meetings;
but sometimes we meet in the even-
ing. Then 'whole families come and
bring with them well-filled hanchetin
baskaest
baskets.
Hbe club been worth while?
The following incident is only one of
Many which prove that it has. When.
cam of our members lay upon her
death -bed she -sent for the secretary
and eaid: "Tell all the club sisters
toed -bye' for me. Tell them I have
had a better home life and a -better
heart life for having joined the club."
