the short cropped mustache that he
wore.
There came knock at the library
door.
Come ill.," he answered. swinging
his chair around.
The door opened, and Hannah Dale,
his housekeeper, entered the room
She was a large, stout woman with a
fresh pink complexion and was attired
in a crisp, clean print dress.
Excuse me for disturbing you, Mr.
Fleming" she apoIogized. but Joe,
the gardener wants to know if YOU
have any jobs for him around the

Nothing at present, Hannah" re-

look after the lawn
Hannah coughed deprecatfngly. 1.-The
flower beds need raking oyer-that is.

II don't want any flowers. Hannah,

": The place suits me very well as

Very we'll" murmured Hannah,
backing from the room with a covert
glance Of disappro7al at the sternly set
face Of her master. .zSs

own question.
On Easter morning John Fleming
came downstairs and went straight to
his library. He drew up a window

as it poured over his desk and revealed

The White
Flower
An Easter Story
By CLARISSA MACKIF

From his house on the hill John
Fleming could look down and see
springs magic fingers touching the
bare brown earth and the leafess trees
and feel her warm breath upon the
chill air. All about him were young
green grass, bursting buds on the tree
twigs and the song Of birds as they
built their nests.
1t seemed that all nature was rejoic-
ing in the resurrection of the dead
earth. He alone Of all Gods creatures
must retain the old huSk OF a dead ex-
istence. For him there could be no
resurrection of happiness or renewed
interest in life without Anne's forgive
ness, but Anne his wife, still turned
cold. ;implacable countenance toward
him when they CHANGED to meet, and
she continued to live in her fathers
without any sign of releuting toward
her husband.
The Fleming arrangement was a
strange occurrence and had never been
fully explained to the good people Of
Franklin. All they knew was that
John Fleming had quarreled with his
business partners, who happened to be
Anne's father and brother, and while
John had withdrawn from the firm his
wife had sided with her own people
and left her husband in consequence
thereof
He turned his eyes from their weary
contemplation Of the distant hills as
he had done 50 often before at this sea
son and applied himself to some work
that he had in hand AS he bent over
his desk absorbed in his writing one

VAUDEVILLE

VAUDEVILLE
Vaudeville varies from Sarah
Bernhard to Dugan's Educated
Dogs. 1t is the nearest to perfection
in amusement ever invented to suit
the American taste.
Here is a definition of vaudeville.
It is the utter opposite of Chinese
drama. In the chopstick-Iand a play
lasts for three whole days before the
pig-tailed audience ever gets hep to
the plot-in vaudeville a sketch that
drags three minutes without knock
ing 'em of their seats is a f1ivver and
a parcel of cheese.
Somewhat like the rose, vaudeville
yells the same by any other name.
When staged in rowdy fashion it is
a variety show, or 'honk-a-tonk."
When presented in a swell restau-
rant it is a cabaret, which is pro-
nounced with the ct" silent, as in
gOulash.
When offered out-of-doors it is an
al fresco entertainment, and when
the bill contains a trick horse, a ira
peze act and a ballet of trained Heas
it is a hippodrOme.
When it is surrounded by a book |
and lyrics, a bevy of pretty girls, a
prima donna, two scenes and an Ill |
cerated baritone it becomes a musi- |
cal comedy.
Students of the Greek tragedies |
and boosters for the advanced drama |
deplore vaudeville, saying it has no |
educational value. But they are sad
ly mistaken.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-08-01

Vaudeville teaches how to get fast
results in whatever we set out to do.
In vaudeville the young man always
proposes to the girl six minutes and
one song after the introduction. Be-
fore they elope she gets her irate
father on long-distance telephone in
less time than it takes to get a turnip
on a fork.
The villain who says, 81 shall re-
turin in one hOur-r-r" blows back
in ten minutes, and after the death
struggle he comes to life in time to
take three curtain calls and sundry
stage spinters out of his system.
The life of vaudeville star is quite
soft, thank you, with ones name
priced out in electric bulbs and a sal
airy that would make a railroad pres
ident enviOus. The stories about
Harry LADDERS salary get louder
every year, and the same applies to
Eva /. Dont-Caire.
The beginner, however, may have
a voice like CarOOz and be able to
dance like hail on a tin roof, but he's
lucky if he gets job at low wages,
performing ten times a day.
Which makes him wonder whether
he's failure or film!
