A Smoker.

A smoker was given by the DEBORAH

were invited by the boys and speeches
and music were dispersed all the eve-

beating the rugs. She took in the sit

to the Willoughby house to borrow a
few things" Mrs. WiIloughby was too
amazed TO refuse the broom, the pie tins
and the gas heater to the stranger. The
next morning Mrs. Simmons was startled
to find the wearer of the green kimono at
her back door asking her to allow the
use Of a half-dozen cups.
Two days later the lady of the kimono.
now attired in a wonderful creation Of
violet cloth, began to pay calls in the
neighborhood. She called on every one
in the block AT the end of week she
repeated her calls. At every one of the
houses the maids assured her that no
one was at home. Nothing daunted, she
came again.
The conservative neighborhood held it's
breath in fear and wonder at this woman
who upset every notion of conventions
that they regulated their lives with.
Clearly this woman was a most unde-
sirable neighbor. Something must be
done to get rid of her. The Platts, who
lived on the floor below her and who
were the worst sufferers from her prox-
unity, offered themselves as the victims.
One morning last week. amid consid-
erable excitement, carriage was rapidly

To the Editor OF The Call:
In the interest of good city govern
ment will not the newspapers take up
and urge the organization Of Citizens
League" such organization to take in
all good citizens without regard to pol
itics? Nominate sober. honest men and
elect them. Unless some such move is
made at once the present government will
continue. No party organization can hope
to win this year. The first duty OF
good citizen should be to put none but
good men in Office. No Republican
League or Democratic League can
win AT this time in this city. Take the
example of New Orleans. where, by the
way. the writer happened to be living
several years ago. The better element

for when Goldsmith was at work writ

different things besides-little odds and
ends, that brought money for his daily
bread, with a scolding landlady laying
down the law to him; for it was the
time when the great DR.. Johnson

neighborhood some
five years ago.
There are a few of
the renters of the
flats whose family
associations have
brought them the
friendship of the
other neighbors.
These few have
joined the old ele-

adopted the same
attitude toward the
rank outsider who
intrudes.
There was cause,
however, for their
treatment of the
newest renter. This
family, consisting
of the husband,
wife and three
year-old daughter,
moved in on the
first of May. When
the neighbors saw
the woman for the
first time they
gasped in horror.
She was standing
on the pavement,
experimenting the
men who were

She was attired
in a long kimono
that was of the
most vivid green
and white lowered
mixture. Her hair
was of the most
dazzling peroxided
tint. Her voice
was loud and of a
