HER POINT OF VIEW.
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 -

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.

ALBRIGHT DIVORCE CA8E.

A hearing In the divorce case of Mrs.
Nora Lindsay Albright against her
husband, John Albright, was had yes
terday morning before Judge Archbald
In chambers. Hon. M. F. Sando ap
peared for the llbellant.
The testimony tended to show thot
they were married two years ago last
Juno In this city and that a week later
In Boston tho husband, without nny
apparent provocation, went away and
never returned. He Is now living In
Philadelphia, although Mis. Albright
hns never seen him since the day ho
deserted her.
A short time ngo she fell 111 and a
hill for her medical treatment was sent
