Beechurst avenue. She appeared In
the role Of an Eskimo girl, and had
just finished her performance sue

fire. She had used a large amount
Of cotton in her makeup, and the
flames attacked this. The men in
the party made every effort to ex-
tinguish the flames, and soon had
them extinguished. The alarm spread
to the audience, and several women
entered the stage. When the door
was opened q draft was created, and
the ennbers of the fire were again
famed into flames. The unfortu-
nate victim was hastily removed to

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

A few weeks ago I read a little no.
tice in the paper to the effect that
Mamie Herman and Virginia
owens, who were burned in last night s
as a result of Miss Ovens tinsel dress
brushing against lighted candle, died
early this morning.
Not big news, just three line notice
in the smallest of type; but in two
homes at least it must have seemed a
paragraph that the biggest type that
ever famed across a yellow journal
would not hall. do justice to.
Next Friday night and next Saturday
several hundred thousand-maybe al
most a million-Christma trees will
glow with she light of candles such as
caused these girls death.
Isn't it worth a little care to make
sure that there shall be no such notice
in any paper in the land next Sunday?
Christmas candles undoubtedly add
great deal to the beauty of a Christ
mas tree. Myself, 1 should hate to
have to try to make a tree beautiful
without them.
Every year for several years 1 have
trimmed Christmas tree for a group
of young girls, and every year when
they enter the parlor they see a tree
glowing with the soft light from at
least a dozen little taperS.
But they see it from a distance of
several feet.
For no one is allowed to go near that
tree in its lighted state.
When my guests have admired its
fairylike beauty to their hearts con-
tent / myself carefully blow out every
candle, and ther-and not until then
we fish out the gifts from the
branches.
That isn't a very difficult plan of
action to keep to. is it?
And it's very safe one.
X
There is a rod of iron just three
words long by which a great many
households are ruled.
And the three words are: ST shall
worry
Usually this rod is welded by wom-'
en- but occasionally by men, and the
rule of it is oneo f the most exasperat-
ing tyrannies that was ever submit
ted to.
their equivalent in nartyred looks and
protests--to make the members of
your household do what things you
think they ought, doesn't it ever occur
to you that you are treading on their
love in rather mean way? :
And also in rather dangerous one :?
For ct shall worry is a dread threat
only because those to whom you make
| it love you.
And if you trade on their love in
that way don't you think you are likely
| to weaken it?
And then waat
Forbid the little child to do the
thing you .disarprove Of
| Advise and urge the older child who
| has grown beyond forbidding, and the
other members of your family over
whom you have no authority, not to do
the thing you disapprove of.
But den't-n you want to keep their
love-try to rule any of the members
of your household by that selfish rod.
II shall worry i,
1t doesn't pay.
