mastery of plot while the concluding
paragraph is an cxpurgated and un-
Ecditcd extract from the story itself,
The story was written, according to
local authorities, while Miss Metcalf
was sound asleep.
1T tells of sprite who has come
from some far-off land of mistness
to discover whether woman Is constant.
He slides down a cobweb ladder and
finds himself on a stenographer's desk
in a physicians office. The doctor is
| making love to his stcnographer. II
beautiful young Jewess, who is about
to accept him for her husband, de-
spite religious differences. when the
| physiciun's sister brings in the girl to
whom he had been engaged, but to-
ward whom he has lately grown cold.
The stenogrnpher. promising to aid
her rival to triumpl,, writes letter
of farewell and the sprite goes back
to tell his story to the gods. and across
the blue infinite space his voice fell
with musical cadence through starry
aisles to distant earth: 'Womans
heart Is the playground of pain; wom-
ans love is II crown of angelic glo-
ry.'
Three months later Miss Rennie
Dreyfus, reading the society news to
her sister, who was converting bare
frame into modish hat, exclaimed:
"Listen, Leah! Married ut st. Georges,
London, DR.. Edward Arthurs to Miss
lmOgen Smiley, both of Chicago
Leah poised the dainty creation on
her head. DO you like it?" she asked,
quietly. knowing the crimson poppies
generously lent their color to her
cheeks
Later it is hoped that it may be pos
sble to direct Miss Metcalf's talents
into certain channels, so that when
she is supplied with paper and pencil,
a whispered suggestion to the sleeper
will bring forth n supply of copy upon
some timely topic or upon some sub
jcct ordered by a publisher. This re-
suit has not been accomplished yet,
but the hope of the relatives are high.
1t is also thought that it may be pos
siblc to teach Miss Metcalf the use of
the typewriter.
