chair, preparatory to the rather I'M
usual indulgence of an interpretive
mood
She could not be called interpretive
as general thing, for she was far too
busy with charities, flower missions,
Tolstoi clubs, church and society in all
their fullness, to allow herself the
popular fad of self-analysis; and then
there was Tom Lenfield; she had been
engaged to Tom for nearly year.
He was a dear good fellow, and was
succeeding so we'll in his business, and
yet-wcll, she was vaguely conscious
that she had not been as deeply disap-
pointed as an engaged girl should be,
when she had received his note that day
telling her he had been called out of
town unexpectedly and might not be
able to return in time to be with her
that evening as he had planned.
She wondered if, after all, she did
love him as she should.
She sighed a little and determined to
allow herself the pleasure of feeling
rather miserable upon this subject.
Tom was dear, she thought, but If
he only had little more love and APP
probation for the things she cared for!
Not that he was not all love and ap-
probation for her, she admitted to her
self, for she knew that he considered
her the very loveliest and cleverest girl
in the world; still there was no denying
that Tom was rather slow sometimes,
and so practical. She remembered how
at the art exhibition they had stopped
before picture of the impressionist
school that it was the thing to admire.
To be quite honest, she was not entirely
sure whether she really understood and
admired it herself, but she had heard SO
much talk about it from people whose
Judgment she held to be entirely above
criticism that she had at last persuaded
herself that to her, too, it was replete
with life and meaning.
At any rate it was annoying to have
Tom look at her in undisguised amaze
ment as she praised it's virtues, and to
hear him exclaim: THAT daub! You
surely don't admire that ?" But then he
was so penitent when she had explained
it to him, and even If he did not under
stand, it was pleasing to hear him say:
"Iou are the cleverest girl, Nan. I
often wonder how you can care for a
fellow whose only pretense to good
taste is his love for you She remem-
bered how, a few weeks ago, at sym
phony concert, she had looked into
Toms face to see if in some degree he
did not feel the JOY of the music that
flooded her soul.
He was fond of music, in his way, but
he was candid enough to confess that a
bright, pleasing bit of light opera
brought far more pleasurable emotions
to him than the most soulful melodies
of the great masters.
On this particular occasion Miss
Rossiter remembered that he had re-
turned her rapt expression with one of
anxiety, and had murmured tenderly:
"What is it, darling? Are you sitting in
a draught?"
Oh, dear, it was always draught, or
something equally annoying to her.
She wondered if she could choose for
herself. what her ideal would be like.
She pictured to herself several types
of her own creation. finally wavering

A Slight Mistake.

While on visit to Glasgow recently
I was witness to rather an amusing in
cident at Ellington street station. The
mother of family had just shown the
ticket collector a couple of half-fare
tickets for her two children. The ticket
collector, after looking at her doubt
fully, said: Hoo auld are they?"
"Just six, an they're twins"
cay! an whaur were they born?"
This ane was born in the Gallygate
(Gallowgate) an the ither in Edin-
burgh," replied the mother, unthinl1-
ingly.-Scottish Nights.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.

If you find your icing is apt to run,
sprinkle the cake lightly with flour.
Salt fish are most quickly and best
freshened by soaking in sour milk.
If you heat your knife slightly you
can cut hot bread as smoothly as cold.
Soda is an excellent article for clean
ing tinware. Apply damp with a cloth,
then rub dry.
A lump of gum camphor placed in
your clothes press will keep steel orna-
ments from furnishing.
A little boraX in baby's bath will pre-
vent the skin from chatting, and he is
less liable to have rash.
Use clear, black coffee, diluted with
water and containing little ammonia.
This will cleanse and restore black
clothes.
If your hall is narrow place mirror
opposite the parlor door. This helps out
by reflection the very narrow space usu-
ally given to this part of the house.
In escaping from fire creep or crawl
along the floor of the room, with your
face as near the floor as possible. As
smoke ascends there is always fresh
current of air in which you can breathe
with greater ease near the floor.

One of the most remarkable cases
among the millions to be found in the
books on surgery is that Of Alexis St.
Martin. a French Canadian, who lived
for more than so years with a hole in
his stomach. This hole was no small
affair hurriedly sewed up by a surgeon,
but was an opening of such size 1.-TWO
and one-half inches in diameter) that
the process of digestion, and the entire
action Of the stomach could be OBJ
served through it. St. Martin was in
the employ of the American Fur com
nany at Macleinaw. In 1922 he accident
ally received the shot which made his
the freak case Of history. The wound
was very severe, the shot carrying away
the major portions of two ribs, laeerat-
ing the lungs, and then entering the
stomach. He was put under the care Of
Dr.. Beaumont, post physician at Mack
NAV, and at the end of two years was
restored to his former good health But
the aperture in his stomach never
closed. and neither did that in the body.
Through this opening Dr.1Beaumont
studied the action of the stomach lac
ton Of the gastric juice. etc.) continu-
ing his observations over a period Of
several years. St. Martin lived over GO
years after the accident, and was always
l .bsla and hearty. Louis Republic.

orieln Of ..neme. Sweet Home.n

Probably no one would have been mora
surprised than Sir Henry Bishop himself
could he have forescen that a simple melo-
dy in enc of his numerous operas would
achieve such celebrity that at the present
day, more than 20 years after it was first
heard in London, it is still sung by lead
ing prima donnas at fashionable concerts,
tangled on street organs and loved by a
vast public that knows nothing Of music,
properly so called, as the purest representa-
ton Of the English spirit Home, Sweet
Home. " '.Clari, tho Maid Of Milan" the
opera in which this favorite song occurred
has long been consigned to the limbo of
forgotten 1nasieRl works, but Home,
Sweet Home survives with undiminished
popularity and is likely TO survive when
many more pretentiOus compositions have
followed the Maid Of Milan" into obliV-

Boston is somewhat remarkable in hav.
ing two Of the oldest actors in the world
filed with the mental vigor Of their days
of hisFionic triumph. They are Joseph
Proctor and Wyzeman Marshall, each so
years old and each identified with the Hub
during his long career. The theory that
a certain profession win leave its imprint
Of similarity on different faces is not borne
out in the case of these veterans, for they
are totally unlike in appearance. Proctor
has d thin face, the eyes of a hawk ard an
altogether soldierly aspect, while Marshall
looks like q statesman of the old school.
His resem blarce to Wendell Phillips has
often been noted Both men made their
debuts in Boston, both have taken their
fareweIls of the stage there, and both have
conducted dramatic schools for a number Of
years on the scene of their former Successes.
All that has been greatest and best in the
history of the American stage has been
covered by the lives of these two noble old
opponents of the mimic art.
