KATE JORDAN'S WORK
SKETCH OF THE AUTHOR OF 1.-THE
KISS OF GOLD.y

Her Charming Personality = How She

ship-stagestruclS Once, but Now 1t Is
All Gone.
The charm that lies in a story some
times defies definition. Wecall it 1.-the
way story is told" just as we talk of
the expression as the pleasing quality in
face. But it is more than that. 1t is
the magnetic personality of the writer
behind the words.
This is what felt as, with sigh,
laid down "The Kiss Of Gold" The
beauty of its diction still haunted me-
It's humanity that planted little ache
IN my heart, and its buoyant description
of youth, love and success put, alasl to a
wrong use.
began to wonder about this new au-
thor, Kate Jordan, whose story had
TRANSPORTED dull afternoon for me. 1
felt that she was young and had per-
haps poured out the story of her own
literary experiences in the great whirl-
ing life of New York.
w III w do ollCE uGOCI W bGC.
A few days later l was mounting a
flight of brownstone steps in a quiet up
town street, and making known my mis-
sion was ushered into pretty, harmoni-
Gus room, oriental in style. 1t showed
that an artistic taste had selected the odd
trifes that filled it. One right angle was
a deep divan covered with rugs and
heaped with the most inviting looking
pillows. Above it hung piece of
tapestry, an excellent copy of Bouguer-
eau's ''Two Loves" The mantel was
draped in fishnet that looked as if it had
seen good service and was looped up at
one side by a long fishing rod japanese
mating and odd antique rugs covered
the floor. On the walls were many choice
water colors. But just above the piano
were some pictures that interested me
more-the original pen and ink sketches
of 1.-The Kiss of Cold" daintily framed
in white, and also an original drawing
of Miss Jordan's heroine in her other
strong dramatic story, "The Other
House."
A very pretty violet eyed girl blue
morning gown camein to see me.
"You want to speak to my sister,? she
asked. "She writes ina room at the top
of the house, just as far away as she can
get from all of us, and if you won't mind
going up two pairs of stairs I'll take you
to her."
followed my guide up the stairs to a
white door at the end of narrow hall
under stained glass skylight.
Our knock interrupted the soft hum
ming of comic opera air, and we went
in. Miss Jordan was sitting at the win
dow before a long oak writing table, on
which was heaped a chaos of papers of
almost every color.
The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1893-09-15
almost every color.

"Please don't look at the table. This
is cleaning day." she said brightly as she
gave me her hand-such little hand,
indeed the very prettiest real hand ever
saw. "This is my eyrie," drawing for
ward the most comfortable chair for me.
81 can't hear sound from the house,
but the murmur from the street is inces-
SAINT, and like that. My pleasantest
hours are spent in this little room"
1t was a pretty place-all blue and
white. The rug, the divan, the lamp
shade, the curtains all blue and white,
and beyond the wide window, with its
frill of Chinese Grape, lay the housetops
and spires of the city, the smoke from
hundreds of chimneys curling into the
vivid morning sunlight.
And the owner of it? Her personality
was quite in keeping with the restful
beauty of the place. Kate Jordan is a
pretty, well bred, well dressed New York
girl. She looks about 90, and there is
nothing in her dress, manner or speech
to suggest that she is "literary"-in 9th
er words, she is not unpleasantly labeled
with the mark of her profession. She is
brunette with white skin, frank, direct
eyes, with the dark eyelashes of the
Irish, and her lips and teeth are remark
ably pretty.
A Russian jacket of brown velveteen
was confined at her waist by dull, sill
yer belt, and long, straight skirt of
brown cashmere hung down from it in
graceful folds.

A Niece of Robert Burns.

Returning past the thorn aboon the
well, 1--WE came by pleasant way to Bridge
side cottage, the home Of Miss Isabella
Burns Begg, niece of the bard and his
only surviving near relative. The cot
tage is a cozy structure in stone, from
whose matched roof dormer window, bril-
liant with flowers, peeps out through the
foliage which embowers and half conceals
the tiny homelet. The trimmest Of little
maids admitted us at the roadside wicket
and conducted us along path bordered by
flowers to the cottage door, where stood
Miss Begg beaming cordial welcome upon
the pilgrims from America. She is the
daughter and namesake of Burns youngest
and favorite sister, Isabella, who married
John Begg We found her to be singu-
larly active and vivacious old lady, CHEEKY
and intelligent and manifestly pleased to
have secured appreciative auditors for her
"reminiscences of her gifted relative. She is
of slender habit, has bright and winning
face and soft gray hair, and when she was
seated beneath the Burns portrait we could
see that her brilliant dark eyes are like
those on the canvas.-T. +. Wolfe in La

"a woman is good deal like a cat, said
the philosopher in the negige shirt. "You
can never tell which way they're going to
jump"
"Wherefore" asked the man in the al
paca coat.
81 was thinking of an incident that hap
pened over on the west side awhile ago.
There is a row of houses on street up there
that are rather close together One day a
man who lives along in the middle of the
row thought that he W lid have his house
painted, and he straigntway went down
town and hired the painters to do the job.
His roof was one of the fancy shingle af-
fairs, and he wanted it painted red. When
the time came to paint the roof, the three
men who were working on the Job fixed
ladder upon it and took places on the lad
der-one at the peak, one in the middle and
one at the caves. They were painting along,
when suddenly the ladder gave way, and
they were thrown into the air. The man at
the middle had gone down to the caves, and
the combined weight of the two tipped the
ladder up and threw the man at the peak
into the air as if he had been sitting on the
business end of a catapult.
When the man at the peak went up, he
had bucket of paint in his hand, and he
took it with him. The other two men
dropped to the ground, but he went away
over and fell against the wall of the next
house. When hewas going down, the paint
flew out of the bucket, and some of it went
on the side of the house near which he
struck. The painters fell about 80 feet and
were pretty badly hurt. The man who had
the fall from the peak of the roof lay on
the ground terribly injured. His back was
broken and so were his legs. The men were
all groaning, and quite a crowd gathered
around. Somebody sent a call for an am
bulance. Just then the woman who owned
the house on which the paint was splashed
came out. She ran over to the man who
had his back broken and said, "Are you
much hurt, my>poor MANI"
He's pretty severely injured, num-"
said bystander.
"Oh, I'm so sorryp' she went on. rs
there anything can do for the poorman?"
just then she turned and saw the splotches
of red paint on the side of the house.
"Why," she screamed, ''look at what the
loafcr has donel He's splashed paint all
over my housed don't see how men can
be so careless. He might have taken lit
tie pains to keep that paint off. Anyway,
Pll make his boss pay for it," And she
flounced into the house and left the unfor-
tunate painters groaning on the ground
