THE EVENING STORY.
AT HOME.

Copyright. 1913 by W. Werner
Mrs. Cooper had never felt at home on
the street. not even in the first week of
delighted comparison of its elmshadeo
green lawns with the dusty fences of
Braley avenue. that poverty stricken
stretch of gray tenements and cheap flats
But the old place, though gray and dusty
and swarming with dirty children, had
been home for nearly thirty years while
Peter, her husband, was climbing, slow
~ at first. later with great bounds, from
street laborer to contractor. 1t took them
long time to realize that they could
move to another neighborhood-on of pill
Jared piazzas green lawns and wide win
dows.
Peter realized it first I'VE don't have
to live here" he said slowly one warm
Sunday morning when Mrs. Cooper was
complaining fretfully of the racket those
Saunders children made next door, wax
ing her at ) o'clock.
She put down the chicken that she was
preparing TO roast. Then she pushed her
spectacles up till they rested upon her
gray hair. In moments of meditation the
glass was a hindrance. why, SO We
needn't" she acquiesced We've no chill
dren to save for" This last rather sadly.
Peter lost no time after the idea jumped
into his old griZZled head. Within week
he had found, inspected and paid for a
lovely gray stone house, 1t had Il lawn
in front and behind. That behind was al

cement walks and fountain. 1t was eX-
actly the kind of place that YOU ride or
walk past and sigh enviously for. Mrs.
Cooper's tired old eyes Frightened at sight
of IL when they rounded the corner.
"An't it lovely" she sighed
Well do 1t up in tptop shape while
We're doing il" Peter declared. His
wrinkled old face was creased in pure de-
light. After stolidly making money all
these years ii was a sort of intoNication
to realize so suddenly the joy of spend

large returns.
The president of the Washington
league is James Rush Marshall, and the
secretary is Miss Myra Hendley.
MANY will learn with the utmost sor
Iva row and regret of the serious illness
of James Henry Moser, president of the
Washington Water Color Club, and for
many years intimately connected with art
life in Washington. Mr.. Moser's health
has been poor for over year, but since
Friday of last week he has been in a
serious condition. He has been able to do
very little work during the past summer
but he returned to Washington from his
Connecticut home greatly improved, and
was looking forward to the winters &C
tivities with the utmost pleasure.
Mr.. Moser holds a high place as a
water colorist in the estimation of his
colleagues and those of critical judgment.
He is a member of the Salmagundi Club
of New York, and constantly exhibits in
New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere.
His love of art is deep-rooted, and his en-
thusiasm over his profession has been
spontaneous and delightful. He has not
only numerous admirers, but many warm
friends in Washington and elsewhere who
will wish him a sure and speedy recovery.

certain tendency toward light regard
for moral obligations all led him into
difficulties which are treated analytically
by Mr. King with fine precision, and
narrated in his most effective style. This

capital. a hopeless task. indeed. 1t would
have been, perhaps quite as the usual
case had it not been for young Furong S
encounter with a remarkable girl, one
gifted with the power of sacrifice coupled
with great love. She gave herself freely
to this struggling youth because she
loved him. and when he would have mar

later they were married in no degree

Success comes to Furlong. through the
aid of kindly old picture frame maker

by which he came to London, and as his
wife dies he receives his final release
from the struggle of poverty and is COM

THE OPENING DOOR; a story Of the
WOman's Movement. BY JuStuS Miles
Forman author of 1.-The Unknown
Lady" ETC. New York: Harper 6.
Bros.
An interesting aspect of the feminist
movement is here presented with MT
Forman's most adroit gift of story tell
ing. The tale concerns young woman
of New England birth, left orphaned
early in the charge of an aunt who Is
one of the leaders and most effective
workers in the cause of wOman'S political
emancipation. This throws the young
woman into contact with some strange
characters Ultimately she finds her
happiness in a husband and a home and
baby. This is not an argument against
woman suffrage nor demonstration In
favor of exclusive domesticity, but it il
Illustrates some of the phases of this new
movement and presents some OF the
questions that every woman must answer
for herself.
