Butterflies do not strike the casual observer
a. being very friendly. and yet thero Is
woman in this city who finds them most com
panionablo. She Is Mrs. Julia Meyer, who lives
at 3o3 West Seventy eighth street. Mrs. Meyer
hypnotizes these gay insects in myriads. and In
butterfly time made pets OF great numbers OF
them. Sho has curious power over them.
which she declares with childlike frankness sho
does not understand herself, but which the
thoughtful person, after talking with hor for
q while about her butterflies and birds, decides
Is the power Of love.
You want me to toll how hypnotize butter
files" she exclaimed rs she oamo into her little
reception room. "well, don't intend to say
one word about 1t. II you had come to talk
about the Woman's Health Protective Society
or tho Womans Suffrage League or anything
In which am much interested, should toll you
| all know, but about my butterflies never"
Mrs. Meyer uttered the word never In such
tone that 1t did not In tho least disconcert her
| visitor. 1t was said in that sweet, winning way
| that mother says no 10 n child when the child
| knows that she means yes. II may not bo good
discipline for tho child, but 1t creates q bond
| Of sympathy, and that Is what Mrs. Meyers
"nevor" did.
