IA socialistic member of the British
Parliament was called squint-eyed by
an enemy in public meeting; so he
went to a private hospital to have his
optical crookedness Strengthened by
surgeon. Lady Marjorie, daughter
of the Duke of Donegal. being moved
to engage in what in New York is
called settlement work, took employ
ment in that same house to get a
training as a nurse under an assumed
name. At our first sight of khem
Johns eyes are bandaged, and he can't
see that Marjorie is as pretty as-weil
as Eleanor Robson. who is the ac-
tress. He believes she is the old and
ugly woman who was in attendance at
the operation. SO whenever Marjorie
touches him he shrinks in aversion
and we have his word for it that when
in the course Of duty, size handles him
freely he dislikes it exceedingly. II
he could but see the dainty or etture
he would regard her as a delicious
luxury instead of an unpleasant neces-
sity. Being blindfolded, he repels the
nurse whom he would grab at If she
were visible.
Current extravaganza fills many
stages with young women averaging
prettier than Miss Robson. and makes
them disport in all manner of artful
sensualities; yet If there Were any
way to decide a bet, | would risk
money that Marjorie. In her plain cap
and gown OF a nurse. yet instinct with
maidenly roguery and frolic as she
fools her blinded patient, is to more
people captivating sight than any
hundred sirenic endeavorers. The rea-
seon of the difference 10 that she looks
genuine and good while they look
bogus and bad Israel Zangwill may
be absorbed IN Zionism. and the pro-
ject Of restoring his race to Judea.
