The Tom Graduate Husband, with a slightly exaggerated effort at anxiety, consulted hla watch. "It's 9:30 now," he said, 'you'll have to lurry." She smiled her most superior and tor menting smite. "Have some coffee?" she asked. "I won't have to dress for half an hour." Her Husband frowned till the many cor rugations In his forehead suggested a hsif-squeezed acoordeon or a Highland kilt "You know very well," he said, "that It would take you three-o.uarters of an hour to get ready for your own funeral. Never mind my coffee! You need all your ener gies to catch that train!" "Now, how absurd that Is." Hla Wife commented, pausing to argue. It was an axiom of the Fost Graduate Husband that Hla Wife would rather argue tliut eat. "If I could get dressed th way you do Just gallop under a harness that was all teiidy for m like a fire department horse It wouldn't take me five minutes to dress. Oh I wish I were a man!" she added, with the Inconsequent pessimism of the sex. "If I were a man!" she added, glancing fiitatiously at the Post Graduate Hus tand, "would you pick me for your best friend? Would you know that there was a strong. Intellectual sympathy between us? Ion't you think you would still feel -the affinity of our souls?" "If you were a man." he said slowly. "I'd give you the worst licking you ever had In your life! I'd take some of the conceit out of you! I'd" "Oh, all right. I ll get dressed," said His Wife, resignedly. "Let me know when It's a quarter past ten." And the young person who was !n a hurry to catch a train walked slowly and majestically upstairs, stopping first to play with Woof-Woof, the angel collie, on th: way and then to give the Helpful Handmaiden the dinner order. Once In her own room, she decided that she had so much time ahead that she would Invent a new way of doing her hair. At least thirty minutes passed In that agreeable occupation, hut In the end she took down the tentative structure she had reared and adjusted her locks In their ac customed simple coiffure. After that she decided that the blue tie. vould not harmonize with her pink m- broldered shirtwaist she had laid out to wear. "Should she change the tie of the shirt waist? The problem occupied her thoughts for ten minutes more. Then she found an April magazine that ho hadn't read. "Why I Shook My Hus bandw," was the leading article. And In her Intense absorption In the troubles of that unknown wife she forgot the man that waited and the train that wouldn't wh till she got through. The Post Graduate Husband, hatted and overcoated, paced Impatiently below, and rr Undoing of Mr. Uplift BY LAFAYETTE PARKS. "Why don't you Join this new league for lonely persons?" asks MY Uplift of his omniscient offspring, when the pride of the Harlem flat has comfortably In stalled himself In the easiest chair. "Do I look like an Orphan Annie on her way to the Home for the Frtendlees?" de mands young Mr. ITpllft with a sudden earnestness that startled his fond papa. "I didn't mean that you haven't any friends." hastily corrects Father, "but It seemed to me to be an excellent orku filia tion." 'Well, what' It all about T" grumbles Bon, settling back on bis neck with the air of a lamb being led to the slaughter. "A number of women and men with philanthropic Ideaa have opened a club for the benefit of strangers and other persons In the city who are lonesome," explains Fatlft. "Young women and men living In furnished rooms are especially Invited to "" . . .. . "Pretty soft for me nauroom biuuub, ehT" surmises Son. "The club will give entertainments, serve light refreshments, lemonade, and try to make the place homelike," explains Father. "Home waa never like that." volunteers Bon. "Take 1t from me, there'll be a bunch of empty hall rooms around this little old town as soon as the rah-rah boys get wise to thla stunt. And maybe the college girls and the suffragettes won't flock there In drove to cap up that pink lemonade." "Any plan that will help to dispel the loneliness of a great city Is to be com mended." argues Father. "The club will also help young men to save money." "That's where they'll make one big hit with me." admit Son. "Anybody, any where, any time, who can put me hep to laying by the buck will get all my votes In the popularity contest. I might be able to worry through the lonely life of this great city If I only had the cush." One young woman who Is a member of the club," Father tells, "said that money doesn't make any difference. She said she bad plenty of money, but there were times when she was so lonesome that life did not seem worth while." Whafs the dame's address?" queried Pon with reviving interest. "When she i-ets lonesome again all she needs to do t send for me. I ll Introduce little Bright Eyes to some of the younger set In Harlem, and the next time she sees that word lone some' she ll have to look In the dictionary to find out what It means. That shows how popular our bunch Is when it cornea to entertaining the dame." I agree with this young woman when she says that money w'll not prevent a per son from getting lonely." insists Father. "Of course. If a chap didn't know the town that might make some difference," hedge Son. "At the same time there are plenty of 'Welcome' signs hanging around for the fellow with a bundle of the kelt. 1 could keen the waiters chasing back and forth fast enough to ke.p my mind off the ball room. There are lot of place that even a stranirer can go to before he finally trie to find in Keynote in mat urnisnen room and drug down tli folding bed " While a young man with money ox a go ut and find a certain amount of sociabil ity " admit Father, "the young women. of whom there are thousand living lonely lives, must b considered. This league will afford an opportunity for them to meet young men." "Looks like one of those wedding bell plots to me." say Son. suaelclouely. "I'sa always a bit exgay when a bunch of dama tit ready la rut oat the glad fcaad. 1-oox. 1 4ityff AND fElrlPED IZ IX WHILE HE l - wntsu. she fussed and primped while he fumed. At last, grown weary with waiting. Her Husband walked to the foot of the stair. "You'll find me outside whenever you're ready," he called, with a poor effort at long-suffering meekness. "I'm going to take Woof-Woof out for a little run." She heard the dog s high, excited bark and the quick slamming of the front door. Then she hurried yea, really, conscien tiously hurried. She had purposed to write several-, notes that morning, but she had postponed them. Also she had Intended to Invade the rarlfled realm of higher mathematics and add up the butcher's bill. With fully five minutes to spare she opened the front door and stood on the porch. "I'm ready, dear, hurry up, or you'll be late," she said. ' But there waa no answer. Where waa Woof-Woof? What had be come of Her Husband? A cloud of dust In the direction of the butcher shop waa her only answer. As to the distant moon the sea forever turns, so Woof-Woof gravitated to the meat emporium. Once upon a time the butcher had given Woof-Woof a bone and since then the collie, with a vague notion that history repeated Itself, always followed the line of least resistance to the butcher market. What the Post Graduate Husband said when he saw the "Angel" dog galloping madly down the street and what he said during the agonies of that half hour chase only Woof-Woof and the Recording Angel know. What he waa going to say when he cams back with the runaway the Ama teur Wife divined. i "It's easier to eaten a train than a dog," she said, consoling. "But never, mind dear, I won't acold you and perhaps If you hurry we will catch the next train. Bye bye, Woof-Woof!" (Copyright, 1911. by the N. T.

They throw that lonely spiel at us to get us discouraged with the hallroom game, and the next thing that happen we're paying the rent of a flat for two." "I fail to see any disaster In that de velopment." avers Father. "That's because you're already married," deoidea Son. "As for me, I guess I'll stick around the hallroom for a bit and take a chance on sidestepping that lonesome feel ing." (Copyright, 1911, by the N. T. Herald Co.)

Jesaa Interceding for Ills rerwrn torn Tfxt: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Luke 23:34. fiven remarkable words Christ spoke after He was nailed to the cross, and be fore He died, and this Is his first. As soon as ever He was fastened to the cross, or while they were nailing Him, he prayed: "Father, forgive them." Can It be? Would It not have sounded more reasonable had he prayed, "Father, consume them." No, these are particularly prayed for. and all that are sinners like unto them. Now, lie made intercession for transgressors, as was foretold. (Isatali hi.Vl. Now, the raying of cfirlst upon the cross as welt as His sufferings and death, had a further Intention than they seemed to have. This is a mediatorial word and explicatory oTfhe intent and meaning of his death: "Father, forgive them, not only these, but all that shall repent, and believe the gos pel;" afid He did not Intend that these should be forgiven upon any other terms. He might have said: Father, that which I am now suffering and dying for Is In order to this, that poor sinners may be pardoned The only thing Christ died for was to procure for us the forgiveness of ln. This Is that for which He Intercedes for all that repent and bellve in the virtue of His satisfaction; his blood speaks this: Father, forgive them. The greatest sinners suay, through Christ, upon their repentence, hope to find mercy. Though they were His persecutors and murderers he prayed: Ff.ther, forgive them; and so He does to day for you and I. The plea says. "For they know wot what they do.'' If they had known, they would not have crucified Him. 1 Cor. 2:. Only sinners need forgiveness. How ac tive around the cross. Some nailing, some lifting, some pulling, some mocking, some casting lots. How active have we all been In thought, word and deed sinning against our Bavlor. Can It be true that they knew not what they were doing? Did they not knew that they were crucifying Jesus be tween two thieves in bright daylight? Do f Loretta's Looking Glass-Held Up to Girl Who A little bit of vanity Is not bad. It Is so much better than none at all that it ought to be cultivated. If It Is the Inspiration that sends you to the breakfast table with your clothes on properly and no safety pin showing at the back of the belt It Is a benediction. It take a terribly healthy appetite to make a breakfast enjoyable when curl papers- are In evidence. And the shine of cold cream on a feminine nose slide ro mance quite away. It is the wife with too little vanity who gets the "pecky" good-bye kiss when her husband set out for hi office. A frowsy kimono and disheveled hair are enough to make any man "peck." Borne girls have a kind of vanity that la subject to queer vacillation. They would not be seen In any but the most Immacu late costume before marriage, but after taking the man they become vanity less. "You do not look the same to me, some how," a husband will say, with pitifully nonplussed gaze fastened on his other half.

How can It be that they did not know that He who raised Lazarus from the dead was not the Son of God? How can it be that many of our well-educated people are not Chris tians? There is only one answer: The wounded Savior gave it. They know not what they do. The only hope for the un believers of this world today is their great ignorance. We poor sinners never know what we are doing till we hear Christ telling us: They that speak 111 of religion speaks 111 of that whirh they know not. The reason that they do not, Is because they will not know It. We are not kept In Ignorance today. This prayer tells us that we are valuable sirners. Jesus did not die for silver, gold or diamonds. He did not die for the earth or other worlds; but He did die for us. She ha shed her vanity In the security of having got him tied up In the matri monial harness with her. And his Illusion come clattering down about hia ears as hi eye behold what she really looks like without the pretty vanities of dress. A wife without vanity la a real worry. It's always running a risk for the husband to bring an unexpected guest. The mop Is apt to be on the front porch and spots on the dinner linen. A woman who Is a little bit vain knows that she needs a clean and attractive house to set her oft. So she keeps It In order so that it Is becoming to her. She spends her money better than a woman without vanity can. She takes the necessary pains to have her clothes fit. She wears her hats so they look as If they cost more than two-nlnety-elght- She is a comfort to her husband. He likes to have her look as well aa she likes to do It. It fills him with complacent self-approval to ee the admiration of his friends corrob orate the excellency of his choice.

Ith Ills holy, prec ious blood and with Ills It ni ient suffering ami death that I may be His own. As the Father loved Him on the cross, lie loves us. lie cannot embrace us for His hands are nulled, but lie prays: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." .surely, God loves us. This prayer tells us what we should be We should be free No one can look upon the crucifixion of Christ without noticing how devilish the whole act was. Certainly, setan knows much and was the great gen eral of the cruclflers. and yet he was ignor ant to notice that he was bringing about redemption, l t us be free from a master who Is too Ignorant to know that he Is crushing his own head. Chief priests and I'lhrlsees learned men cried: "Crucify Him!" They did not know us much about Jesus as a little child. Who knows less tcilay of the Savior and Ills word than the learned? Many of our educators are driv ing souls to hell! Oh, that we were free from the clutches of false science! The wcrld Is full of unbelievers and the wounded Savior wants all saved. Father, forgive them, deliver them from the ignor ance cf the lost, for they know not what they do. Some think It looks smart to hate their neighbors and not speak to them; this, too, is Ignorance from which we should be free. Such people do not live close to the wounded Savior. Have we ever been wounded like Jesus? Has any one ever driven nails through our hands and hung us by our network of nerves to a tree? If so. If we follow Jesus without being asked we will pray: "Father, for give them, for they know not what they do." If you have unforgiving spirits In you, dwell on Calvary's hill with your eyes on the enemies of Jesus and on Hia wounds and put your ears close to His mouth and bear Him say till you can jri'.y: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." The prayer of Jesus melted the heart of a thief. It can melt yours. is "Little Bit" Vain J is exactly the kind, of a girl that a dis criminating man would choose. And If he is hunting trouble he will find It If he selects a girl who allows' him to see her in a soiled house gown.
