ONE IDEA OF PHILANTHROPY
Carmen sylvia Says II She Had 4
Million She Would Build Vast
Cathedral,

What curious ideas some people
have on the subject OF philanthropy.
Carmen Sylvia. queen of Roumania, is
the latest to answer that ancient
question. What would you do If you
were a millionaire" She would build
vast cathedral with chapels in 1t
for every religion. and she would also
build an art school AS 1t is only
very small minority of people who
ever go to church or chapel, and those
that do go are usually of the more
comfortable classes. 1t is to be feared
that Carmen Sylva's million would not
go very far to lessen human misery.
Most people have asked themselves
what they would do II they were mil
lionaires. but the wiser among them
have contented themselves with say
ing what they would not do. A reso-
luton to give nothing to any religious
or charitable organizations. with a
very few exceptions. is n fairly safe
one, since both religion and charity
are Incompatible with organization.

and advises her to go away at once.
Fran hints at a twentyyear- old secret.
and Gregory in agitation asks Grace to
leave the room. Fran relates the story
of how Gregory married young girl at

then deserted her. Fran is the child of
that marriage. Gregory had married his

In the meantime old Mrs. Jefferson
had been looking on with. absorbed
attention, desperately seeking to tri-
umph over her enemy, a deaf demon
that for years had taken possession of
her. Now, with an impatient hand.
she bent her wheel-chair to her daugh-

through this ebony connector of souls.
"This is Fran Derry. the daughter of

asking her to give u.s."
Grace Noir came forward with quiet
resolution. Let me speak to your
mother" she said to Mrs. Gregory
Mrs. Gregory handed her the tube.
HIonewhat surprised, since Grace made
It a point of conscience seldom to talk
to the old lady. When Grace Noir
disapproved of any one. she did not
think 1t right to conceal that fact.
Since Mrs. Jefferson absolutely re-
fused to attend religious services. al
leging as excuse that she could not
hear the sermon, refusing to offer up
the sacrifice of her feshly presence
as an example to others-Grace disap-
proved most heartily.
Mrs. Jefferson held her head to the
trumpet shrinkingly, as II afraid of
getting her ear tickled.
Grace spoke quietly. but distinctly.
as she indicated Fran-"You know
how hard 1t is to get a good servant in
Lttleburg." Then she returned the
ear trumpet. That was all she had to
say.
Fran looked at Mr.. Gregory.
He bit his lip. hoping it might go

Indeed? And did you become rec

"Yes-after he was dead. He didn't

The April morning was brimming
with golden sunshine when Fran
looked from the window of her second
story room. Eager for the first morn
ing's view of her new home. she stared
at the half-dozen cottages across the
street. standing back in picket-fenced
yards with screens of trees before
their window-eyes. They showed only
as bits of weather-boarding, or gieam-
ing fragments of glass. peeping
through the boughs. She thought ev-

houses seemed to Ter closer to the
