"Emigrants are coming to this countrv at the rate of 5,000 to 6,000 per week. Did' yon read that, Harry?" asked Mrs. Dyle as she turned over the paper to find the Society Newg column.

I think the same argument will apply to these emigrauts." Mr. Dyle looked &t his wifejith a smile which seemed a mixture of TaJrnlration and contempt. Then got up, with a yawn, stretched himself and went out, saying loftily: "Let women attend to their own affairs; they know nothing about politics." And, in his absence;.
