Charm Of Memory.

The charm Of memory lies, think,
in the quality which it gives things,
at once Of intimacy and remoteness.
The fascination to us of recalling our
past selves, our former surroundings,
lies in our sense that they are abso-
lutely known to us, yet absolutely out
Of our reach. We can recall places.
houses, rooms, until every detail lives
again. We can turn from one thing to
another and, as we look at each, 10, it
is there! 1t has q reality more poig-
nant than the hand that we touch or
the flower that we smell Sometimes,
1t is true. present experiences, even
as they occur. have something of this
quality. They do not need to recede
into the past to gain this glamour.
Certain places have it; cathedrals
sometimes, and still lakes. Certain
things foster IT.; freight and silence,
and the steady fall of rain. Certain
moments give birth to 1t; the lumin-
GUS pause between shutdown and dusk,
afternoon with It's slant OF light
through deep grass or across quiet
river This, fancy, vas what Ten
nyson was thinking of when he called
the lotus land the land wherein it
seemed always afternoon" In that
land these magic moments we're pro-
longed, and thus 1t became the land Of

THREW THE DIAMOND AWAY
Second Finder Was Wiser and Kept
II fer It's Much Worried
Owner.

At big hotel not over half mile
from Times square. which may be fur
ther identified by the fact that some
of the employees can afford to wear
diamonds, a goodslze brilliant went
begging for time Friday morning.
Ii was lost by its owner, found,
thrown away, and then found again.
The night manager owns a ring
that has three diamonds in it. The
middle one vas 'said.to have cost him
$500. Some time Thursday night it
dropped out of its setting.
After things had got quiet, the man
who cleans up the second floor saw
something glittering on the carpet
in one of the public rooms on thesec-
end floor. He picked it up and took it
to the night controller
'Aw. that's nothing but bit of
glass" appraised the controller, who
doesn't wear diamonds.
But it looks like something" said
the cleaner.
Rats! You're bughouse If you think
that's worth anything. Throw it
away"
AS the cleaner didn't have any
other place handy, he threw the thing
In corner.
When daylight came the rays of
the sun came in and fell on the dia-
mond just as housemaid was tidy
ing up the room. She saw 1t and
picked 1t up. The cleaner had not
yet gone home, and she showed it to
him.
Nothing but glass. That's the sec.
ond time I've seen that thing" he as
sured her
WHO told you it was glass;" she
asked.
"The controller"
Huh! he knows nothing about jew
elry. I'm going to keep it," and she
put 1t into her pocket.
The night manager came to the ho-
tel Friday night out of breath. He
had not discovered his loss until he
awoke in the afternoon. He immedi |
ately began an investigation, and |
finally it led him to the cleaner.
Yes. I picked up something like |
what you say, he said.
What did you do with it?'
Il threw it away
The manager said some things. to
which the cleaner retorted that the
controller had been positive the thing
was nothing but glass.
The manager said some more
things, Then the cleaner remembered
that the houzemaid had picked up the
thing again.
What did she do with it?"
i told her TO throw it away"
The manager thought Of a few
things he had left unsaid, but looked
UP the houscmaid No, she had not
thrown it away She looked up the
working skirt she had worn the night
before and there the gem still lay Il
