THE GIRL AND THE GOWN. Had Good Clothes But Couldn't De cline Verb "To Be." Rev. Dr. J. W. Daniel in Southern Christian Advocate. She was a very attractive girl, and wore beautiful gowns, and was really very winning in her ways; I knew ler well and never saw her poorly dressed. Her gowns were of good -,aterial and well made by a profes sional dressmaker, for her father was wAell-to-do. I have been in her home, and can- testify to the fact that the parlor was beautifully furnished: but she never did say anything that im aressed me; and yet she talked a great deal-just her gowns impressed me. A friend of mine *)ecame very much infatuated with her, told me, indeed, . that he was beginning *to love her; G -and I congratulated him, for she was -pretty. After paying her very mark- 0 ,ed attention for several months little love epistles 'began to pass between tz them. She was planning a lit*cle trip -off; I knew of it; but I had observed that she did not go. I also thought y I discovered that my young friend d had grown rather cold in :his devo- v tions; but that might have been imagi- f nati- or my par-no it was not; tc :0or 1 met my young friend one day we were very intimate), and he drew a tiny white envelope from his pocket, iolded the paper. which he took out of it so as to conceal most of it !he writing and the name and said w -with a smile, "Daniel, I wantco show t< you a new form of the verb to be." I looked at the sentence, which read, "If mama had a kept well I would of gone." It was enough. Beautiful gowns, 'lair faces and even a veneering of culture cannot conceal the repulsive, JC -which can only be eradicated by good teachers and careful study. He has V narried, yes, years ago; and so has -she. But they are far apart from the a -viewpoint o' what she might have -: leen. Poor girl! blessed as she wasq o -with physical beauty and good taste k -in dressing herself, how much- more ci 'beautiful and pleasant life would have c, Ieen for her if her well-to-do parents X 1ad given her the advantage of a col 3ege education. "Had a" and "would of" disgusted her lover, who was a -college man, and she lives today in -an atmosphere of ignorance; good 'books and magazines are strangers at ..her :home. Suit Against Clemson.
