About His Breakfast

worth! You're only half listening to me
right now. How's that? It's only a quar-
ter 10 @ and you feel sleepy? Oh, OF
course You feel sleepy! You always do
when 1 am trying to have any kind OF
conversation with you. That's your cute
little way. A married woman doesn't care
any more about responding to her hus-
bands ideas than she does for last years
hat. You might at least show a half-de-
cent regard for what I'm saying, instead
of lying there blinking at me.
Huh? Oh. you've heard IL all before,
have you, and ii doesn't lead anywhere.
anyhow, and you can't keep your eyes
open? That's more of the old stuff-as
much as to intimate that I'm harping on
the same old thing all the time. You are
the most peevish person before breakfast
that i ever saw in my life.
How? Oh, you're wide awake now. are
you? Say, can't we have breakfast a lit
tie earlier around here during the hot
weather? What time does that Internal
maid get here Of mornings, anyhow? On,
you'll prepare breakfast this morning.
will you. seeing that the maid isn't within
miles of here yet? But you needn't,
please. If you got breakfast for me once
I'd never hear the last of it. You'd pitch
it up to me to the last day of my life that
I made you work like a galley slave. and
probably you'd ramp around and tell
verybody We know that wanted you to
take In washing for a living.
Huh. Oh, WELL G. L. c.

Mrs. Wharton's Appreciation Of the
Late George Cabot Lodge.

Edith Wharton. in February Scrbner.
1t would be impossible, l think, for any
friend of George Cabot Lodges to write
OF the poet without first speaking Of the
man; and this not only because his art
was SO close to his life. but also. and
chiefly because. to those near enough to
measure him, his character. his temper.
the virtue in him. made his talent,
distinguished as it was, mere part Of
an Astounding whole.
Abundance-that is the word which
comes to me whenever 1 try to describe
him. During the twelve years of our
friendship-and from the very day that
1t began-I had, whenever we were to-
gether. the sense of his being a creature
as prOfusely as he was finely endowed
There was an exceptional delicacy in his
and an extraordinary volume
in his delicacy.
All this, on the day when he was first
brought to see me-a spring afternoon OF
the year 1898 in WashingtOn-was lit up
by a beautiful boyish freshness, which.
as the years passed, somehow contrived
to ripen without fading. In the first FIVE
minutes of our talk he gave himself with
the characteristic Wilderness that made
him SO rare a misunderstanding me all the
sides of his varied nature, the grave
sense of beauty, the flashing contempt
of meanness. and That large spring of
kindly laughter that comes to many only
as a result of the long tolerance of life.
1t was one Of his gifts thus to brush
aside the preliminaries of acquaintance
and enter at once, with a kind of royal
ease, on the rights and privileges Of
friendship. as though, one might think.
with a fOrebOding OF the short time given
him to enjoy them.
Aside from this. however. there was
nothing of the pathetically predestined In
the young Cabot Lodge. Then-and to
the end-he lived every moment to the
full, and the first impression he made
was of a joyous physical life. His sweet
smile, his easy strength. his deep eyes
full of laughter and visions-these struck
one even before his look of intellectual
power.
