ALI MEN LOVE A GOOD STORY.
Anoaricar Mo oazina

AS a man grows older one Of the
facts he comes to realize is this: That
among the great realities Of life is
the hunger for romance, the love OF
fairy tale, the craving for fiction; and,
though 1t Is perfectly true that only as
romance, as fiction, carries with 1t
some merit Of philosophy, some depth
and soundness Of Characterization,
only as it H., in Matthew Arnold's oft
quoted phrase, "a criticism Of life,"
can II endure, nevertheless 1t is equally
true that the mere profession Of real
ism in q play or novel will make
it popular. It must be q story; it
must catch US up. into an imaginative
world Of its w and have the power
to hold us there, enthralled. If a story
is compounded Of the great realities Of
our ~present-day life, 1t will succeed
by Just 30 far as 1t is a good story. II
1t is q tale Of the vanished Orient or
a sheer fancy out Of fairyland, again
it will succeed only so far as it holds
and entertains us.
In other words, the drama is a form
of the larger art Of fiction. 1t is not
essay, nor tract nor sermon nor socio-
logical report, and the first laws 1t
must follow Ire the laws Of fiction.
Sermon or essay or tract must be
brought in, by the way, as deductions
following logically from the outcome
of. the story, the fate Of the charac-
tiers.
Now, the point Of this probably
platitudinous remark is here: To
make a good story takes a kind OF
genius, whatever the material; and to
make a good story but Of the COM
mon, everyday life about us, to lift an
audience up into an imaginative
world, requires an exceptional genius
indeed. To do it, the playwright must
not only be an unusually capable
st%ory-teller, but he must know the life
he writes about intimately, and he
must have thought about it deeply.
Not only are we, the audience, much
less forgiving Of any lapses from prob
ability in a realistic play about our
own life, but because we know more
about that life than about any other
we do not care to listen to the implied
comments upon 1t OF any but men
whose superior intelligence we trust.
1t is far more difficult to write q real
istic drama about the people and af-
fairs Of the hour which shall have
literary and philosophic value than to
write capable, or even excellent farce
or melodrama or romance. 1t requires
a rare, an exceptional talent, for to
narritive powers Of a superior order
the dramatist must add superior in
tellect and sympathy.

not particularly partial to the profess
sion Of pickpocketing. Occasionally
a male dip will have a female stall,
but it is seldom that a woman will be
found doing the actual picking. Once
in a while In a department store 4
female dip Is met with. She usually
operates IN the elevators, and hers Is
an easy job, comparatively speaking.
women will carry their most pre-
cious possessions In their hand satch-
els. And they will bangle these hand
satchels negligently from their arms.
HOW man a pickpocket resist?. If
women would only wind the straps of
their hand bags around their wrists
and close their hands over the catch
OF n bags there would be less Of
this sort of pocketpicking.
But f1lching from hip pockets and
hand bags Is the work Of the veriest
tyro in this line. The real finished
pickpocket does not hesitate to
"snitch" from his victims inner vest
pocket or to lift his diamond scarf
pin from his cravat. He often trails
a man from the bank, where he has
seen him deposit a large sum of
money In the almost i~mpregnable re-
cesses Of his inner apparel, and yet
the pickpocket is not daunted.
Does the victim take a street car,
the dip follows suit. Often he stands
in front of the mar whom he is going
to rob. Many times he works under
a newspaper or raincoat. The car
lurches, the dip Is thrown over on the
man with the bank roll, and, alas, he
is the man with the bank roll NJ
longer.
Pardon me, 1t was unavoidable.
Did I hurt your foot?" The dip is
nothing If not polite. The next cor
ner is his. He dismounts, calmly and
suavely, a richer man. If he hasn't
got his victims bank roll, he at least
has his stick pin.
AS q general rule, however, the
pickpocket prefers to deal in currency
only. He doesn't care so awfully much
about jewelry. OF course, a scintilat-
ing diamond cleaning from the chest
of a portly and u~nsuspicious gentle
man is not to be scorned and the dip
often lifts it, just to keep his hand in,
but he prefers to trade in that which
al be quickly changed for something
else.
And as for the best means Of foil-
ing the p~ickpocket at his own slicl,
game, the authorities have not many
suggestions to offer. Never danglc
your hand satchel Is, Of course, the
n unfailing bit of advice, and never
keep valuables in your trouser peck
cts, particularly in the hip pocket, is
another. AS for your diamond scarf
pin, even a safety catch will not In
sure o against the dip, if he has
designs on you; for these clever mas
tiers Of the sleight of hand have been
known to carry with them specially

WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN SOCIETY
The Poet Returns.

The Poet Returns.
The starlight lends me raiment;.
GLOW slowly old songs die!)
A dream I give in payment,
OF my dreams newborn and shy.
A moonbeam lends its burden;
How slowly old songs fail!)
A dream I give as guerdon;
For all my dreams are pale.
So through the dark I wander;
Chow sweet the old songs seem!) :
All undisturbed I ponder;
All palely still I dream.
Beneath the stately beeches
GLOW sweet the old songs were!)
I mouth my silver speeches
To make my own heart stir.
Beside the curious river
GLOW strange the old songs are!)
I glide to watch the shiver
On the water of a star.
Under the nights grave splendor
GLOW far the wise old songs!)
I murmur words as tender
AS a lovers fancied wrongs.
The strange, strong songs I fashioned
(Those songs grown now SO old!)
Seem vaguely fair Inc FASHIONED,
Now my hot heart Is cold.
The starlight lends me raiment;
My path a white moonbeam.
A song I give in payment,
Fol love I add a dream.

not safe for any of his children tc
show themselves outside of the pile OF
corn stalks in the middle of which
was their home. He had said, and
really thought, that he was smart
enough to take care of himself, and
to prove it he had run away to see the
Great World.
OF course I can run back home any
time," he had said to himself. but
when at last the time came when he
wanted to run back home he found
that he couldn't. In fact he hadn't
the least idea where his home was.
He was lost! Yes, sir, he was lost,
hopelessly lost. Now, after running
until he couldn't run another step
and fl t1ing that the path he had been
following just ended in the middle Of a
lot of tall grass instead of under the
pile Of old corn stalks, as he had
hoped, little Mite realized that he was
indeed out in the Great World and
that he might never, never see his
dear home again. Big tears rolled
down his nose. Somehow now he
didn't feel a bit smart-just very, very
small and helpless. How he did wish
he was at home!
But wishing wouldn't get him
there. The first thing for him to do
was to find a safe hiding place. He
wiped away his tears and started back
along the little path that had let him
nowhere. He took the first branch he
came to and followed that. 1t seemed
as If there would be no end to the
green walls Of grass stems and over
head the green roof made by the
meeting of the grass blades. OF
course he couldn't see where he was
going or what was going on in the
Great World. But neither could any
of those who might be looking for q
tender young Meadow Mouse see him.
He didn't think Of that, however, and
presently he decided that somehow
he would have a look around. A tall
mullen stalk close by the path gave
way above the grassy roof. Mite
scrambled up. When he pushed his
head through the grassy roof the
bright light of jolly. round, bright Mr.
Sun made him blink.
Hardly did he have time to get used
to the bright light and really begin
to see something of the Great World
when he discovered a tremendous
great creature close beside him.
Mite hadn't believed that the Great
World was big enough to hold such a
huge creature, mi he nearly lost his
balance and fell from sheer fright.
Perhaps it would have been better for
him If he had. for just then a terri
bic thing struck him and knocked him
eve so far. He fell on his back in
the tall grass with all the breath
Knocked out OF him n feeling very
faint and dizzy. He knew that what
ever had hit him had had something
to do with that terrible creature he
had seen. but that was all he knew.
ooh, dear he sobbed. 1T wish /
was home! wish 1 was home!"
And all the time Bossy the Cow,
who found the bars down and had
wandered into the tall grass Of the
Green Meadows, drove away the
bothersome flies by switching her tail
back and forth, and didn't know at
all that she had knocked all the wind
out ofa poor, wee. little, lost Meadow
Mouse.

With or Without Suspenders, Pockets
and InSets at Side Seams.

With OF SuSpen0crS, Pockets
and Insets 1t Side Seams.
This skirt with pockets Is not alone
one Of the newest and smartest, but
1t also brings just the comfort and
satisfaction for which women, have
been on the outlook. It is really a
very simple model, cut Just In two
pieces, but the yoke, pockets and sus-
penders render it s o entirely new ana
distinctive that n scarcely realizes
the fact. Insets In the side seams are
being much used just now to give
greater freedom about the feet, and
the v-shaped portions can be so ar
ranged Or The skirt can be closed to
the lower edge, as each wearer may
prefer. In either case, the skirt is
thoroughly practical for all uses. and
since It can be worn with or without
the ~suspenders, 1t can be adapted to
any need.
For the medium size the skirt will
require 3i3-8 yards Of material, SO or
"A, 21-4 yards. So inches wide; the
width at the lower edge is I yard and
16 inches.
The pattern 1891 is cut in sizes
from 20 70 80 inches waist measure.
