nfty at least. Her hair was suspici-
ously yellow and she carried It. in her
hand. that upon her head being con-
nned to few taffy colored wisps. In
the same hand she bore a corset. over
which large sized pansies were sprawl
ing with startling effect. Un the other
arm she had a hand bag and q guam
tity Of garments. AS she met the por-
ter in the aisle she remarked peremp-
torily: Here, take this to the
toilet ROOM" This" being the
aforesaid corset. He graspcd II with
about to preccde her. when she ex-
claimed Good gracious! I meant
to give YOU this hand bag" snatching
the corset and substituting the bag.
"Yas'm." he observed, with the same
placid serenity, and she disappeared.
In about three-Quarters Of an hour
she emerged-not she-but gloritied
creature arrayed In a short skirt and
a stunning silk waist, her eyes
dewy with youth. her fair cheeks
flushed with the sweet nights sleep
and little golden rings Of hair curling
about her temples. There were only
one woman and the porter who were
competent to pass an opinion on the
metamorphosis. All the other people
in the car regarded her with undis-
guised admiration. The big. innocent,
girlish eyes made captives in every di-
rection and there wasn't man in the
vicinity who didn't openly exhibit his
anxiety to be of some service to the
dimpled little maiden.
What puzzled the skeptical woman
onlooker was how haggard, elderly
face. with lines and hollows, could thus
be transformed. If the porter had am
thoughts on the subject his impassivc
countenance gave no hint as to their
character but the woman continued
to ponder on the deceptiveness of ap-
pearances and to wonder II the fair
little body up the aisle allowed herself
to be seen in the intimacy of her fami-
ly every morning Of her life In the en-
gaging effect of that dawn in the sleep
ing car. Saucy Bess.

A FTER LONG and careful delib-
Grafton both the Home for the
IN Frieudless and the Free Kim
dergarten association have de-
cided to abandon the project of
an operate benefit this season. The fact
Is that grievous experience has caused
charitable organizations in this city
to ask the question, What shall 1t pro-
fit us II we toll and struggle and get
fits Of nervous prostratioh and quar-
rel with our best friends In giving
some entertainment, much of the pro-
ceeds of which go out of town?
For some years II has been the GUS
tom to secure outside assistance to
drill local talent for operas, kirmesses
etc., from which large amounts or
money have been realized, but not
for the charity whose name was used to
gain patronage. The fact Is that all
heedful. funds could be raised without
the, medium Of suppers, fairs. ETC.. If
Il were not that the dear public de-
p,auds something in return for its
money besides the Imaginary halo 1t
receives from the consciousness of hav-
ing done a good deed. 1t may not se-
cure anything from a grab bag on
.fsh pond" but there Is always the
chance that dOyley or tobacco
pouch may be grasped. II may be
bored by alleged jokes in a comedy or
Tortured by false notes in baritone
solo. but there Is a prospect OF some
return for'th investment.
Consequently. In view of all these
facts and the depleted condition Of the
treasury. the managers Of the Home
for the Friendless will have special
meeting this evening at the Young
Women's Christian association to dis
ctiss the feasibility of having d big fair
ia gigantic one which will interest all
Lackawanna county and will bring
into touch all sections of the city. If
II Is decided to have such a project
1t will ba on the proportions of the
memorable armory fair of several years
APO. which Was such great success.
Therc, Is. however, much disappoint-
r1cnt in large circle the members
of whichvware interested in the opera
project. Operas take in Scranton and
there were many who would have as
sisted in the proposed performance.
Children's parties will be i'm vogue
at Easter time among the grOwn-ups
Indeed, these "baby parties" have beer
the sensation of the Lenten season in
Philadelphia. The guests all attired
as babies. some in very long dresses
other in a style befitting the advanced
age of two and One-half years, or per-
haps more. The bellies of the season
attend arrayed in little white frocks
with big sashes and their hair ar.
ranged in correct ringlets or in dang.
ling braids. There are big hats and
little caps and the boy babies" are
dressed in kits and knickerbockers.
