An elderly woman carrying an anx ious fane and a Bible Is making visita tions those days upon ladles in affuent positions In this city. Many of the hostesses are out of town, but the elderly woman is occasionally fortun ate in finding them at home. If she car. gain nn audience the Immediately proposes to pray with the benighted houso mistress who is, generally speaking, too astonished to demur, even if she happens to entertain ob jections to that precise method of evangelization. Tne -v-isltor-usually remarks that nowadays most people seem to think tho only ones who need praying for are in the slums or among tho poorer classes. JTor her part, her heart aches for the rich ones who are really being .neglected. Their minister daren't tell these influential parishioners that they are poor, miser able sinners and that their fine clothes are but as filthy rags in tho sight of the Lord. Their rebukes are all di rected to those outside the first circles and tht-se poor women with their emp ty lives and shrivelled souls go on to eternal death with nobody to tell them that they aro doomed. She proposes to make up for this long neglect and In her way to constltuto herself a sal vation army to the high classes in stead ot the masses. . Nearly always tho hostess finds her self In the vortex of an actual prayer meeting and has a half terrified vision of herself on the .anxious seat in an old-fashioned Methodist revival. Not even the hymn singing Is omitted and before the "services" close she has had a mixture of sensations difficult to plisslfy. Occasionally the "evangelist" strikes an Impossible house maid who Is dis posed to arcue the matter when tho visitor tells her errand. The followlm; conversation took place on the front door of a palatial residence on Clay avenue the other day: Visitor Good afternoon. Are you saved from eternal damnation'; Maid (looking mystified) "What, ma'am 7" Visitor "Do you lovo the Lord? Is your soul saved?" Maid (In a relieved tone) "I'm not of the snnie faith as you, but I think 1 shall be saved." Visitor "Is your mlctress saved? "Does she love thu Lotd?" Maid (rather doubtfully) I'm not sure, ina'nm; I guess she docs. Any way she In a good lady." (Which was nn excellent recommendation and should secure that particular mistress cm w am it suii Ik frr3MrisHisniHJUBS0'9K - BPfliPlf 1111! Qj?2gg n first class place, as the maid had been with her seven years.) Visitor "Well, you tell her I'd like to see her and pray with her." Maid "I don't believe, ma'am, she has time to he prayed with today. She's very busy getting new dresses niuile." Visitor (In an ominous tone) "Girl your mistress will have to tako time to die, and with her poor soul un clothed, In spite of nil the fine things she is putting on her body, what will she do then?" Tho maid looked startled, hut was not disposed to turn a fanatic looso on her mistress and was obdurate In her Insistence that she could not be seen. Finally, when she went up and told tho lady of tho house of the queer request, thvj latter was at flrat somewhat dis mayed at tho Idea of havlns a state ment made with nuthorlty that she was too busv to be prayed with, but was nevertheless relieved at not belntr drawn into such a session. The wo man, upon tho refusal of an audience, calmly announced that she would sit on the porch and read her Bible for a while, which she grimly ptocecded to do. Many who have received these Invi tations have felt uneasy lest this per son might be uslnp hor religious fer for as a pretext to get Into their houses and do snenk thieving. There is really nothing to be feared on this point, as the woman lit perfectly sincere In her object, and has no Intention of doing anything except for the good of her victims' sonuls. Countless her prayers will harm no one, and excepting that It Is now no longer foshlonablo for even ministers to utter prayers aloud during an afternoon call, the exper ience need not bo feared. It is only an Instance of what a person may do when a hobby is fanatically pursued. Some havo a mania for a wheel, oth ers for pug dog3 and others for collect ing pewter mugs. The fad for pray ing with rich women has overtaken this poor soul and it Is perhaps as in nocuous as any. PEKSONAL. Dr. C. L. Frey returned yesterday from Richfield Springs.
