and looked at him very wistfully and he
looked sort of puzzled. He said. Mrs.
Turner told me you sketched-in fact
1 said, Isn't Mollie sweet? But 1 don't
know anything about art. 1 am afraid you
do. Have you a studio? Mollie talked a
good deal at this point, saying that he
had and how clever he was, and that he
was going to paint her portrait and lots of
things like that. She added that as 1 was
so talented in that direction we ought to
have great many things in common.
She said " Make her ambitious. Mr.. Pea
body, persuade her to study" / smiled
and said, Yes, do"
Mollie said Mr.. Peabody had gone to
Paris and lived in a garnet in the Latin
quarter on Is cents a week instead of going
around in society with his mothers and
sisters and his brother, who cared for
nothing but racing. I couldn't help think
ing 1 would like to meet the brother. I
said, did you really live on 25 cents a
week. Mr.. Peabody? How wonderful of

And 1 do think 1t was perfectly fine,
only I knew I never could get along with
young man who could do that sort of

said, Yes indeed; very, very soon"

Etiquette that Governs Formal Calls

Formal calls and formal notes may seem
unlmportant, but they are not, because as
a woman writes and makes visits is her
interest in events social rated and also her
knowledge of what is required by polite
society.
When a woman has been invited TO a
wedding, even if It be only to the church.
a call within a month upon the woman in
whose name the invitation is issued is i'm
perative A married woman, when making
a wedding call, leaves two of her husband $
cards, one for the man of the house as well
as for the hostess.
No matter how slight the acquaintance
between the two families may be. this visit
is required. II the brides parents do not
wish to continue the acquaintance It is not
incumbent upon the brides mother to re-
turn the call. Such a situation may exist
when the guest and her husband are
friends Of the bridegroom, and not of the
bride and her family.
While writing Of wedding calls it is
worth stating that those persons invited to
the ceremony or the reception, or both, do
not call afterward upon the bride unless

Monday-I- vent to the opening view Of
large collection of oil paintings day before
yesterday with Aunt Harriet and Aunt
Georgette. Amy promised to come, but
failed to appear, and 1 didn't dare lose my
relatives in consequence It's simply
dreadful to have to hang on to people in a
huge crowd. Tom said he'd meet me there
little later and we were going to sneak
out and walk home together. 1 arranged
1t rather neatly after we arrived.
The aunts provided themselves with a
catalogue and started in systematically

tematic things in large public places, so 1

one doorway when was talking to Jack
Wright, but 1 managed to find them by
great exertion. We finally by slow stages
reached the big back room where they had
some music.

one best shot She had not graduated

At o'clock high, complacent, north
ern New York voice proclaimed the adj
vent Of the visitor And then a small
compact, bewhskered man of 60 or 30
thrust into the extended hand of his well
coming hostess a square white box con-
tanning five pounds of assorted chocolates,
gumdrops and all-day suckers,
! The Boss glowered as Woof-Woof ap-
preached and, seeming the candy, wagged
a frantic welcome to his new relation.
Uncle william naturally mistook the
dogs interest for an introduction and an
intelligent appreciation Of his own merits.
And during the meal time which followed
he fed fried pork to himself and the most
complacent kind of upstate bonbons to
the delighted Woof-Woof
Seems like I feel more at home here

urcle Even the dog acts as IL he had
known me always"
The Boss wife rejoced that for once,
despite consequences and common sense,
her angel collie was getting all the candy
he could eat.
The Boss, divided between anxiety for
w uOl- w ooI anu what seemed now inc
almost certain inheritance of Uncle Will
Jams money, preserved an omlnous and
eloquent silence
His wifo felt 1t and so, too, did Wool
Wool, for, with the perversity of his kind,
the collie adored the Boss, who occasion
ally noticed him, and had only a tolerant
and condescending liking for the Boss
wife, who, as she often said, loved him to
death"
Woof- Woof's love of candy overcame his
psy chic sense of the Boss dsapproval. He
fewned upon Uncle william; he licked his
boots and finally, when Uncle William
was conducted to his bedroom, lay down
outside his door.
! That was all Uncle william ever knew
about 1t, but in the morning the Boss OBJ

Boss of the Establishment
BY AMERE MAN.

The Boss Of the Establishment locke
up from the letter he was reading with
an expression in which establishment and
apprehension were strangely mingled.
Uncle William is coming to spend two
weeks with usr' he announced to his wife
who had delayed pouring his first cup Of
coffee till he divulged the contents OF the
morning mail.
Uncle william!" she repeated hesitantly.
you don't mean the rich old bachelor
uncle from up state that I've never seen?"
YES" said Boss. 1.-The one who sent us
the plated napkin rings for wedding
present"
"oh. well,' protested the lady, he meant
we'll"
at is needless to say that il was she
who had called the Boss attention to the
spurious character Of the gift in the first
place and who had dwelt scornfully upon
/ Uncle Williams parsimony ever since
Immediately her vivid Inauguration be-
gan to play upon the possibilities Of Uncle
williams visit, and as usual, the nature
Of her thoughts was betrayed in her next
remark:
How much money did you say he had?'
! Il didn't say" smilingly replied the
Boss. About &2OO,OOO II you want to know.
But don't begin to spend any OF it yet,
He's as husky a 6O-year-old as you ever
saw and never had any use for me, any
how"
But maybe he will like met" the lady
explained coquettishly.
And the Boss, with some inner reflec-
tons upon the sublime egotsm Of women,
let It go at that.
Perhaps his thoughts might not have re-
manned unuttered If at that moment Wool
Wool. the collie, had not followed Mary
and a plate OF bisuits up the basement
stairs and begun his customary pilgrimage
from the Boss chair to that of his wife
and back again.
For Woof- Wool had a very sweet tooth
a complete set of sweet teeth in fact-and
could not be in the same room with sugar
bowl without developing the whine and
the persistency of professional beggar.
BY the Boss stern decree one lump oil
sugar was the colies allowance. Expert
ence had taught his owner that more was
extremely bad for his digestion.
Though seemingly preoccupied with his
paper he watched his wife as she brok,

just not taking any more notice of him,
and as he doesn't like Mollie very much
he sort of faded away after time.
It's quite an art getting rid of a man
quickly without offending him. He went
on talking and didn't answer him at all.
I was so wrapt up in a picture of a woman
who had green skin on her arms and
purple skin on the rest Of her, except
where it was a deep yellow. Jack re-
peated all that he had been saying, which

tration Mr.. Cooke says
There are very few, If any Of the
broader principles of management which
obtain generally in the Industrial and com
mercial world which are not more or less
applicable to the college field, and so far
as discovered no one of them is now gen
orally observed"
The point which is taken up is what he
calls the lack OF intensiveness. He points
out that a matter which may be of i'm,

interfere with the efficiency of another.

Burlesque at the GayetY.
Tired shoppers of Christmas week may
rest and have a good laugh at the Gayety
this week II they go to see Leon Enrol
lead the Jersey Lilies through their various
mirth-provoking stunts. For to go is to
laugh no matter what the mood. No re-
cent visiting comedian has had the Sunday
night crowds with his as did Mr.. Enrol
yesterday whether playing the Dutch mil
lionaire's part or the part Of the intoxi-
Gated Dutohman. 1t was all the same-he
had 'em going.
James e. Cooper was a close second in
the point Of interest and his Gus Crouch
who hates himself was a part to which he
seemed well suited. As most people who
hate themselves, he could see no good in
the world and growled at everyone and
everything.

SO long as there are boys to leave the
old home and go out into the world to fight
their own way in life; so long as parents

as mems minds run back to boyhood days,
no matter where they are spent-n short,
so long as human nature remains the same,
just that long The Old Homestead" will
retain a hold on the popular heart 1t is
Ia simple, direct tale Of simple and direct
lives. 1t has no complications. no mys-
teries no complex problems. Its sweet sim
plicity Is its strong point and the tender
sentiment OF its story comes close to
everybody that 1t never falls to score its
point Uncle Joshua whitcomb may be a
little behind the times in some ways, but
tho rugged honesty and sympathetic kindli-
ness OF his nature are the qualities that
keep the world from turning all sour, and
his merriment Is good for the blues. So
1t is with the other characters in the play
any one Of them might be taken from life
The critic might spend his time making
fun Of the dramatic texture of the play
but when he got through he would have
his labor for his pains, for The Old Home
stead has withstood the test of time, and
bids fair to go on for generations yet.
Edward l.. Snader is playing the role
behiudh thompson nhue famous, anu Is
playing It well. His sense of proportion is
well adjusted, and he gets his effects with
out undue effort. Something OF his kindly
humor gets across the footlights, and the
audience is ready to smile or be serious
with him at all times The twinkle in his
eye is irresistible, while the tremor of his
lip and the CULVER Of his eyelid is just at
effective. His comedy methods are SC
good that he may easily be listed as among
the really good actors of the day.
The company supporting Mr. Snader Ii
good all the way. 1t would be difficult tc
say which Of the several contributions tc
the comedy was most enjoyed, but the
audience at the Brandeis last night, where
the play was given for the first perform.

Buster Brown and Happy Hooligan in
all their comic supplement reality, have
both held the boards at the Krug this
season, and have both delighted large
houses, but neither of the two caricature
personalities scored the success that the
yellow Kids scored last night George
cause of all the trouble, and Alex, the
other cause, clad in their yellow pipafores
made merry to the best of their ability
and succeeded Always in mischief, for
ever planning some mephitic devitry and
forever putting the object of their solicit
tude in some ridiculous plight, while they
assume for themselves an attitude Of inno-
cenoe which would make a chofr-boy look
wicked, the yellow Kids monopolize the
stage Nor does the audience object in the
least to the monopoly although the sup
porting company IL an able one.
Joe j. Sullivan, as Timothy McFadden
gave a laughable imitation of an Irish
politician on a campaign. The Dutch also
came in for their share of earicature in the
role OF Jacob Baumgartner, assumed by
Harry Barton. As a matter of course
Baumgartner is running against McFadden,
and as is always true on the stage, the
Hibernian wins in the fight with his leu
tonic cousin. Both characters are well
presented.
