of comment. The plan had been as much
a part of their simple lives as the day and
the night had been. They concertedly
gasped in horror. She assumed that this
was the first move of coming battle, and,
backing slowly into the front room, ex-
claimed:
'Yesl Yesi kill mel Tear me limb
from limb! But first let me tell the tale
that have protectorsl"
She unpinned her red petticoat and slip
ped 1t off quickly, without once removing
her eyes from their faces, and with de-
licious revelation OF well-rounded calves
below the shorter skirt underneath,
which no one noticed.
81 have but to wave this petticoat from
the window, and my friend the bankers
wife will come with an Alderman, who
will bring the police and the Mayor and
the President of the kingdom, and the
army with guns and great ships which
shoot vast iron ballsl Oh, / am readyl
/ have protectorsl defy you ALL"
Pippette, half conscious OF the nonsense
of it, was still conscious OF the sensation
she was creating, and enjoyed IL from the
bottom OF her romantic heart. No one
threatened her, but she waved her red
petticoat from the window, and was some-
what disappointed TO find that only the
little banker and a fat Irishman re-
sponded. The bankers wife had told the
story to her husband, with many yaria-
tions and additions, and the Alderman,
willing to believe anything OF Italians,
was really prepared for great things. He
attributed the submissive and puzzled
attitude OF the five swarthy persons whom
he met to their craft, and impressively
warned them.
"Here nowi Here nowi" he commanded
"None o. that owver here i'm Ameriky,
you bloody dagoesl The goirl is free TO
marry anyone she loikes. Don't let me
haa .NN
have the police ahfther yez. Moind now
phwat Oi sayl" and he left majestically.
After he had gone, the little group-all
OF them except Pippotte-brol<e into tears.
They had begun to understand that Zip
petite had, for some unaccountable reason,
decided not to marry Pietro, and were
hlled with woe. And worse than that,
they saw that she looked upon all OF
them-who worshiped her, each one-with
fear and defiance This was crushingl =
Finally, unhappy and dismayed. they
held council and decided that all should
withdraw except Pietro, who was to re-
main with Pippette, and try TO make his
peace, or, at least, To get at the bottom OF
the mystery. Just before they went away,
Pippette's father went up TO her with
such gerntlcness as man who sWCeps the
streets can assume aud said:
Neutrality-suspicious. Is not that we
wish you TO wed Pietro IL IL Is that you
do not for him feel love- 10 Is that we all
for yot fcrf iuvu most much, and That we
do greatly feel that you have an illness of
the mind. But IL Is for you TO saw IL is
that we shall die OF the grief IL you wed
Pietro not-but yes, carambai-it is for
you To say. Bambino carissima, IL is that
II is for you to say"
Pippette was mancipated. She had
won her point. Her wicked relatives had
bowed To the freedom OF America.
But had not tho miserable Pietro Der.

the broken button holes in her waist
might have seemed slovenly to the cap
tiuus, but TO the seeker after loveliness-
au naturel-they must be regarded with
gratificd admiration because of their ma
tive revelations, end, although Pietro
sat within two yards OF her smoking his
pipe of gloom and bad tobacco, Pippette
did not care. she was the belle of Little
Itnly, and in Little Italy conventionality
goes a-begging, although virtue holds
high place. q have heard il whispered
that In speaking of some places this state
ment may truthfully be reversed.)
But all of this is by the way. II has
nothing to do with Pippette's emancipa-
tion. II was Pietro who had brought
that about and it was Pietro who had
suffered by IL.
In the bare brick building, five
grimy stories high, punctured by many
staring windows, and fed by black door
ways over twenty feet or SO, love and hate,
mirth and misery, ran high. When Me-
apolitans come TO Gotham, they not only
die faster than any other race in New
York city, but they live faster, too.
In Italy they drink soft wines - in
America, slum whiskey. When they
gamble here IL Is not for the pleasant fun
they knew at home; 10 is with greed that
makes eyes beady and breathing quick,
that makes stilettos flash, and sometimes
and not romance, ] might explain that
Italians came here for one thing money;
that the moment they leave the steam
er's gangplank they are money mad. That
their lives here ara either full OF wild
work or an idleness so frugal that it eats
three cents day--no more. The very
food that nourished them at home
maccaroni and fruit-overripe here
helps raise their death rate. That in
fact, Of all races, that of Southern Italy is
least fitted to cope with American ways,
American climate, Americans, America.
But am not writing sociology: / am writ
ing the tale Of Pppette.
The only smile in the room was hers.
Indeed, while her face broke into the
merriest of ripples as she pulled and
patted at the soft gaudy pile OF bedding,
mot only was Pietro sad and solemn,
but Pippette's bent and crony mother,
working at the wash tub down In the
court between the front and the rear ten
ements, her father, sweeping streets away
up town, and Pietro's parents in their
abiding places, were sad and gloomy, too,
and all because of Pippette's emancipa-
tion.
II all grew out of hot Naples love,
brought over the seas successfully, and a
Naples custom that could not be trans
planted. 1t should be understood that in
Naples marrying and giving i'm marriage
are conducted on basis different from
that of the American matrimonial insti-
tuition. Pippette and Pietro were tiny
children when the alliance was arranged
and certain financial matters with il.

Inside the harbor the entire Paciac fleet of

Funny Joe OFT.

Joe Otis new piece, "The Star Gazer, !"
written for him by Franklyn W.
Lee, comes to Portland Theatre, Thurs
day evening, August 2a. 1t is what is
denominated ian astronomical farce
comedy" and as such lays more claim
to the plot than does the average farce
comedy. Still, the plot is not obtrusive,
and no one who sees the piece may go
away with the idea that some one has
been trying to make him think too hard
during the action of the piece. Joe OFT
takes the part of Prof. Jupiter Mars,
an astronomer in search of comet. While
he is engaged in this lofty pastime he
in turn in pursued by Mrs. Orbit, a
widow. with penchant for comets, and
the mother of Daylight Orbit. who is
heiress to several millions, pr divided a
missing heir does not turn up. Both
the professor and the widow are pers e.
cuted by an italian william, who is not
an Italian but an Irishman, and he is
working in the interest of the executor
of the estate to which the girl is heiress.
1t finally turns out that the profe ssor
is really the heir, and, as he marries the
widow the money is kept in the family
after all. The action of 1.-THE Star Gaz-
err opens in the observatory of the pro-
fessor and from there, after many anus
in situations, goes to the department. of
DR.. Jwimeed Fennell, where the audience
is introduced to the eighth wonder of
the world, hydrogenozonic gas, and some
clever specialties The final action is at
the home of Mrs. Olytemnest1a Orbit,
where the remainder of the plot is
brought to q finish and the band play s
Home, Sweet Home'' Incidental to all
this are the specialties and interludes
given by exceedingly clever performers.
New music and songs have been writ
ten for the production; new scenery has
been painted; new effects have been pre-
pared; new poperties have been conceived
and new ideas are rampant, so that the
public will not have a
rehash of past tradition "The Star Gaz-
er''was written for the purpose of aInuse-
ment ana as vehicle for that which en-
tertains will fulfil it's mission.

After fine concert by the military
band from the Soldiers Home at Togus,
from platform built in Town hall yard,
a short address of welcome was delivered
by Hon. L. L. Carlton. Mr.. Carlton
stated that this was not o formal affair,
but rather an old fashioned countryfied
gatherlng where everybody hereabouts in
terested IN old Winthrop-the prosperity
OF her people-her institutions, her moral
and material welfare, as we'll as the
strangers within her gates, should be
doubly welcome, and be made to feel al
home. Mr.. Carlton called attention to
the large and steady increase in the num-
Der OF summer visitors from year to year,
and that without any effort on the part
Of our citizens This year fully one
Thousand visitors have been among us
and those of the finest quality. The
cause, Mr.. Carlton said, was easy to find,
in the haalthfulness of the climate in
summer in the picturesque woodland and
lake scenery, lighted by the glow of sum
ner foliage. Here no poisonous insect or
reptile is found, and one has absolute
freedom from anything that could molest
or make afraid. In fact, Winthrop is
conceded on every hand to be as beautiful
a spot Nesting in the quiet valley as has
ever been found in naure's realm.
Mr. Carlton then invited the guests to
q short concert in reception hail. and to a
banquet, to which full justice was done
by the assembled guests and townspeople.
