DoWdy and Unsympathetic.

Broadly speaking" declares a
prominent English woman, New York
women are dowdy. Imply hanging
skirts and badly fitting coats are as
common as blackberries among the
poorer sections, while the taste of the
weather. women often is excrable
Freak fashions from which a French
woman would recoil in horror are ac-
cepted with cOmplacency by the
moneyed matrons of New. York. Here
and there In the mad medley of color
one sees an example of exquisite taste
and it is these rare exceptions. no
doubt, which have given the American
woman the reputation she possesses
for smartness and chic.
When New York woman is beau
tiful she is very beautiful, but she
lacks poetry and sympathy She has
not suffered enough. There is no sug
gestiOn of softness or subtlety about
her Her lips are too thin and her eyes
too hard"

Conviviai Clerk.

Rev. H. p. Ditchfield tells in the
June Treasury some more stories
about parish clerks. His own little
church at Barkham was many years
ago the scene of deplorable episode
1t was not unknown that the clerk on
occasions used to patronize the village
inn, which was kept by a parish wor-
thy, Mrs. Collyer One Sunday after
noon, when the weather was warm,
and the sermon long, the clerk slept
and dreamed. He imagined himself
the center OF an admiring company at
the village inn. Hence, when the SER
mon was ended and the ascription
said, and he was expected to utter a
loud and sonorous Amen" he startled
the congregation by shouting Fill EN-
again, Mrs. Collyer; fill 'em again" !"
The congregation naturally was some
what scandalized-We Ca

was sick at heart and angry words
rose to his lips.
Don't you see, Molly, this isn't
real?" he was saying. 1T isn't whole
some. That black man"
You mean Mr. Ramsammy Chun-
dra Cheer" inquired Molly, with omin-
Gus calm.
Il do said Beatty Il don't like to
see you mixed up with a crowd Of
takers like those, dear. If he wants
to concentrate on the infinite let him
do his breathing exercises in some
good gymnasium. Why, Molly, there
isn't real man or woman among all
that crowd. You seem to have
changed"
Yes, l have changed, John,' an
swered Molly. Il have found myself
And you haven't changed. You have
lost yourself in the whirl of worldly
interests. 1t isn't any use, John. We
could never be happy together.
want to live in the soul, to have my
spiritual freedom. We could never be
happy together"
You want to break our engage
ment?" asked Beatty cOldly.
She looked at him, half in terror
In the strong lineaments of his face
she remembered the man who had
won her love, of whom she had
dreamed during the first Of those
three years that had elapsed since
their q 70 hofn oh
had fallen into the ways and habits
OF her new friends. She put out her
hands.
John" she breathed
John clasped her in his arms.
God bless you, Molly" he said
But it isn't any use. Only If you
grow tired-if you want me at any
time, anywhere, you'll let me know.
won't you?'
Then he was gone. and Molly wa
alone in the incense-scented room
with the idol Of Buddha in one corner
and the Japanese screen in the other,
and the barbaric, Oriental couch cover
and Turkish pillows and all the other
paraphernalia of the mise-en-scene.
Her thoughts went back to those
first days when she had come to New
York. She had met John in a com
monplace boarding house where there,
was no Ramsammy Ghee and nobody
had heard Of Buddha, and they ate
steak smothered in onions a.d
breathed through both nostriIs
simultaneously and never thought Of
their spines. And yet those had been
days of perfect happiness. Now
The Parker post., 1913-08-30

A ring at the bell aroused her from
her reverie. She glanced at the clock
1t was nearly midnight Who could
want her at such an hour? Perhaps
it was John! Her face hardened
Her wavering mood impelled her
thoughts to bitterness. She would
send him about his business. She
opened the door
The Indian was standing upon the
threshold. At the sight of him her
face softened
You left something, Mr.. Ram
sammy Cheer" she asked
Ramsammy entered after her and
closed the door behind him He
turned toward her and held out his
arms. .......
Yes" he whispered hoarsely. Il
left you, my mOOntiower my perfect
pearl. l could not go home until
had told you that l love you. Night
and day, forever | dream of you. With
you beside me | would seat myself up
on my peacock throne in my own land
and dream away blissful hours, i'm
mersed in the creative principle of
the sixth sphere, my bride, my
seraph."
Molly recoiled in horror. She had
always associated Ramsammy with
unearthly detachment and philosophic
serenity, with the mystic Om and all
that it denoted. And here he was
talking like-a lover? No, like
drunkard. There was a quite unmis-
taxable smell upon his breath, and
all at once she understood why
Ramsammy was SO very partial to in
cense
viii you come with me and be my
bride, lotos-fower?" inquired the black
man eagerly. And without waiting for
the lotos-tiower to answer he clasped
her in his arms. And Molly, over
come with aversion, screamed as vul-
carly as any ordinary maiden.
"Oh, hate you! Go away!" she
cried. John! john"
The answer was immediate With
crash the door came off it's hinges,
and Mr. John Beatty stood in the en-
dress, the total absence OF anything
esthetic or esoteric, had never seemed
more welcome.
With a leap he was upon the black
man, and before he quite knew what
had occurred Ramsammy was receiv-
ing long deferred and long needed
trouncing John Beatty did not strike
too hard. He propelled the black
man toward the door with a series
of well-directed kicks, got him into
the passage, thrust him into the
street, and, with a parting hoist, de-
posted him upon the sidewalk Then
he turned back into the apartment
Molly was weeping pitifully as she
crouched on the Turkish lounge.
Il saw that black skunk turn
back, Molly, and 1 suspected some
thing" John explained so l waited
outside to make sure that it was all
right. You aren't angry with me,
dear?"
Angry, John?" she answered, look
ing up. 'Oh, John, can you ever for
give me?"
John sat down beside her and took
her hand in his.
Molly, dear" he said, Il guess you
didn't understand-that's all. When a
mans knocked about the world he
somehow feels things. knew that fell
low was a cur, and yet l couldn't
put 1t into words. Molly, il you'll
marry me, you shall have a different
poet every night to supper, as long as
his hands are clean. But-I guess Wen
let Ramsammy do his breathing
stunts elsewhere. What do you
say?'
All right, John" answered Molly.
