“Look my best!” her father roared
again. “Dressed up like a monkey on
a stick!”
“And you've got to wear a tie,” An-
toinette broke in, firmly.
They revived Antionette’s father
with tender care, but he never was the
same man after that. He gloomed
around the premises, surveying with
a hostile eye the housecleaning prep-
arations for the coming wedding and
he developed a jumpiness at every-
thing unusual and suspicious.
Antoinette was in despair. She was
marrying into rather a fashionable
family and the thought of Horace's
college friends and his family arriv-|
ing to find that while her father had
a heavy bank account he had no sense |
of sartorial values was a tragedy. i
“Horace and his party won't get
here till the day itself,” Antoinette
told her mother in one of their hope- |
less conferences. “They won't notice
dad so much then, but in the evening,
at the wedding—mother, I'll just die if
he wears that baggy old gray sack
suit and his celluloid collar and no
tie!”
“Then I'm afraid you're due to die, !
daughter, “said Mrs, Webber, who had '
been married to Antoinette’s father '
long enough to know. !
“I won't!” snapped Antoinette, with |
the blind faith of youth in its powers, |
“I'll manage it somehow. I'm not go- |
ing to have the only wedding I'll have
in my whole life spoiled by father's
ridiculous stubbornness!”
She and her father eyed each other
warily toward the last, like gladiaters
before the fight. Her father ostenta-
tiously bought a new celluloid collar
and a fresh ten cent collar button and
a new pair of calfskin boots.
The day of the wedding Antoinette’s
father, the only incongruous spot in a
refurbished, decerated house, filled
with frills and fluff, went upstairs to
get ready for the evening's fray. Lay-
ing out his new collar and collar but-
ton and simply tossing his old gray
clothes over a chair, he stepped into
the bathroom for his ablutions. He
was absent 20 minutes.

Holding her trailing satin skirt in

| A moment or two later, as | reached

inclosure. My curiosity aroused, |

words: “Charles Dickens.”
1 stood there, wondering if this was
what my friend had meant—these flow-
ers. As | did so there came into view
a group of children, four or five of
them, and each with flowers in her
arms. With gentle step they ap-
proached to the tomb and as gently
placed their flowers upon itt. A mo
ment they stood in silent adoration
and awe, it seemed to me, and then
as silently they went away.
But hardly had they gone when an
other group of children stood by the
stone. They, too, carried flowers, and
with all the tenderness displayed by
the first comers they laid their fra-
grant burdens upon the slab. One of
these children, a girl about 14 years
of age, | should say, carried also one
of Dickens’ stories, “The Old Curios-
ity Shop.”
Not once, or twice, but four times.
| as 1 stood there, little groups of chil
| dren approached and decorated the
grave of the great novelist. Then Mr
Shaw rejoined me.

meant when I told you that you would

have come and laid flowers upon the
stone. They are mostly from the mid-
dle class, as you have seen, but once
fn a while you will see some child of
poverty add her blossom, perhaps, to
the others upon the grave. To me this
daily tribute from the great mass of
the people tells a better story of per-
manent literary fame of the highest
kind—the kind that follows an appeal
to the heart—than any monument, any
biography, could do. And I have no
doubt that this decoration of the stone
will be continued, day after day, for
many years to come.”

Gold Coins for Canada.
That Canada will soon have a gold
coinage of its own was intimated in
the recent speech of Finance Minister
Fielding regarding the budget. At the
present time, while some sovereigns
are coined at the royal mint, there are
no Dominion coins of this metal.
The denominations will be $6 and
$10. The gold will be obtained from
the Yukon region, and an effort will
be made to establish a government
purchasing agency at Dawson. The
mint will be able, it is thought, to
make a small margin of profit in coin.
ing gold.
Canadian currency, as is generally
known, follows that adopted in this
country, the decimal system, but it
has aot carried it to the extent of
issuing gold coms. The new depar
ture is probably partially the result
of the greater amount of business
that is being done th@re. At the same
time, it is another indication of the
spirit of nationalism that {s
indicated in many ways at present.—

The Winans will has upset the the-
ory of the cynics that romance is dead
in the world. Here is an innkeeper's
daughter who receives a fortune of
$500,000 just for being kind to an old
man. In all her dreams of the future
she never thought of being able to
present to the Prince Charming that
would eventually come along such a
princely dower. She went about her
work delivering the milk and cream
from her father's dairy, litle think-
ing that the old gentleman, who year
after year was her father's guest,
was all along planning to make her a
rich heiress as a reward for her lit-
tle kindnesses. The picture is idyllic.
Unfortunately, some of the rightful
heirs of the deceased multimillionaire
fail to see the poetry of it and have

There is a son who has been cut off
with a paltry $200,600 and there are
two grandchildren who have been en-
tirely forgotten. In the case of the
son the will is particularly significant,
since the relative smallness of the
amount can be traced to the father's
disapproval of a marriage that was
wholly romantic. The cynics may still
claim that their contention is support.
