WASHING THE WINDOWS.

\ boy about fourteen years old. en-
ployed at a grocers. was washing the
windows the other morning when pc
destrian with squirt in his eye came
along and stopped to say:
Boy, don't you see that the water is
running all over the pavement and
making it so slippery that people are
liable to fall and break their necks?"
Yes, sir. do was the reply.
Then why do you wash your bloom
ing old windows?"
It's the orders of the boss. sir. If
the boss should come down and not
find the windows washed he'd say to
me:
Joe. YOU internal imp of laziness,
why haven't YOU washed the windows
this morning
Because d cock eyed man with d
stiff knee objected. Id reply. And
then he'd say that you could go and
be hanged to you, That would make
YOU mad, and you'd drop in to have it
out with him. My boss is a small man
and humble looking but how he can
scrap! The minute you opened on him
he'd whirl around and cock your other
eye and smash that other knee and
there'd be call for the ambulance,
and you'd be laid up in the hospital
for at least sixty days. Sorry if | in
convenienced you, sir; but have got to
continue to wash. I've got to do it to
hold my job, and I've got to do it to
keep the boss from knocking you into
the middle of next week and now you
know all about it,
Yes, | know all about it. and hanged
if l wouldn't give two bits for the priv
lege OF smashing you to mincemeat,"
muttered the cock eyed man as he skat-
ed over the wet spot.

A Marked Change.

In the two or three minutes that
elapsed since the falling of the curtain
on the last act Miss Burke seemed to
have changed her personality as she
had changed her froch. The stage per
sonality had been intensely interesting.
but both personality and the rrock that
went with it in the stars dressing room
were refreshingly novel and delightful.
Miss Burke is as unaffected as YOU
could imagine. All the Will-o'-t he-wisp
motions of Lilly ParradeH were trans
formed into the quiet and gracious
movements of Billie Burke. and she
looks younger off the stage than on.
The frock, too was unusual \ white
chiffon thing Topped up on sleeves and
bodice and skirt, and fastened with lit
tie punches of quaint old fashioned
flowers. She made charming picture.
and this time it was with real curiosity
that l asked her how she managed to
retain so much vitality and cXuberant
youth and a face unlined and devoid of
any trace of fatigue amid life as
strenuous and eXhausting as that which
the popular star leads.
"Oh. what do YOU want me to say ?'
said Miss Burke as if the question were
rather embarrassing
With all her girljshness, she inn
presses YOU as absolutely sincere. She
wouldn't talk even to please a press
