He took her to the tea room, where a
crowd sat about the pretty table. Among
them were some little Chinese. These got
down from the table now and again and
played with the pigtailles walters.
If they were too noisy their mothers rose
and spanked them and set them down hard,
after the American fashion. The woman
wondered that some of them didn't break,
they were set down so hard.
The woman concluded that co long as it
was impossible to get on the trail of Mrs
Yee Chico she would try to make Mrs.
Too Cow do.
At the hes d of the table blase Celestial
minus a pigtail sat sedately. hanked by
two American women OF uncertain age ana
stony faces.
The woman took 9, vacant chair bet tween
Too Cow and his wife, who is a very little
woman and who looks like the picture of
Chinese ladies' one secs on packages Of tea.

Too Cow interrupted here.

The Chinese lady who sat on the other
side OF Mrs. Too Cow laughed merrily
The woman reached around.
DO you speak English?" she asked.
'Of course speak English, she answered.
but the woman couldn't coax her to frame
her knowledge OF the language into words
though her attempt to do so was creditably
valiant.
She returned to Mrs. Too Cow.
Have you little, tiny feet, she asked her,
that you can hardly walk on? And don't
you 60 out at all without your husband?
You don't know what you miss, not doing
that Excluding yourself
Mrs. Too Cow laughed in the oldest little
tinkling bric-a-brao way imaginable, but
she never said word.
Finally Too Cow, motioning to the .blase
Celestial ct the head of the table, said:
Ask him. He spleaks English velly
we'll"
Thus encouraged. the woman promptly
arose, went around and took the vacant
seat by the blase Celestial. The waiter
at once, placed a choice piece Of chicken
before her, which was very kind, she
thought.

$50 certainly never meant any shch thing

IN tho fact that poor Nora, ava kened to hor
own weaknesses who forged note

30 do 1t again because she loved him; who
had lied to protect herself: who had every
eapability and no education-realizes that

Miss Barrymore is apparently very
modern combination Of the practical and

Nora is the Importance of her debut as
