that charming Russian singsong

the tide of realism, from the novel

care They Any Laundry"

Queer turns the abuse of the Eng.
fish language will take on the Amer
lean continent as we'll as in the
heart of the British capital. The
other day, from the .passageway
where. a certain domestic assistant
occasionally goes to make inquiries
of the mistress Of the house, the lis
tener heard this question asked:
Are they any laundry9'' ~
What the woman meant, put into
the fewest plain words, was this,
SIS there parcel to go to the laun-
drys" The phrase was pure Ameri-
can, and was used by a native Of
our great and glorious country.
Among some of the people, the
word laundry" means not merely
the place where washing is done,
but the articles washed, taken COL
1ectively. Not long ago the listener
saw In the window of a mans fur
nishing store-beg pardon, a gents
furnishing store-a placard which
read, Don't forget to leave your
laundry
This perversion of the ancient
word "lavendery" takes curiously:
different turn from Sir Hugh Evans
use of the word in 1.-THE Merry
Wives of Windsor"
"There dwells one Mistress Quick
~, which is in the manner of his
nurse, or his dry nurse, or his cook,
or his laundry, his washer and his
wringer."
And it somehow seems less absurd
to call an animated washer and
wringer a Laundry than the
things washed and wrung. Boston

A woman walked into the West

and told the sergeant at the desk
that:her pet dog had disappeared.
at was only yesterday" che be-
gan as she pulled a small lace hand
kerchief from her belt to be ready
to catch any stray tears, land Cur
lylocks, my little dog, did want SO
much to go out for a walk, and !
couldn't disappoint him. So out we
went down the boulevard. AS we
reached sixty-fifth street another
dog ran up to my little Curlylocks,
and the two scampered down the
street, never needing me. I staid
there and waited for my dog, and l
went all around the streets and
never found him.
Don't be alarmed, lady," said
the sergeant He'll turn up soon.
"No, he WON'T" answered the
woman. He has been stolen, I
know, for Curlylocks never would
stay away from home willingly. !
want your policemen to hunt for
him, and will pay nice reward
to the man who gets him"
The sergeant and captain both as
sured her that they would turn the
precinct upside down to find that
dog, and the woman left, somewhat
more hopeful than before. Nothing
was heard of her and the dog for
two days, but at the end of that
time the woman reappeared in the
station house.
81 told you so," said the sergeant,
without noticing her woebegone
look. DOG came back just as I told
you, didn't hef''
mo, he didn't" she replied, WHIP
ing her eyes. II thought I was 60
ing to get him back. but / didn't.
Do you know, I received very nice
little note in the mail the same day
I came here first. The note told me
that somebody-he didn't sign any
name-had my dog at a place on
Canal street, and that he had seen
my advertisement in the papers and
knew that he had my dog, and if ]
would go to that place at o'clock
the next afternoon could have my
doggie all right again.
IT went down there at 3 o'clock,
and the man who had the store told
me he knew nothing about any dog,
and when I showed him the note !
got he said again he didn't know the
least thing about it. cried all the
way home.
when I got home, I opened the
door just as usual, and everything
inside our fat was turned upside
down, and all my silverware was
gone, and every one of Our wedding
presents had been stolen"
The sergeant whistled in astonish-
ment.
Now" continued the woman, II
don't care for the silverware as
much as my husband will when he
learns about it, but / do want my
dog back again.
Neither the dog nor the silver
ware was recovered by the police
