pened right here in Atlanta, among
people we all know and like, and it
concerned a girl, her youthful lover,
her irascible father and a weeping
mother. And so the stage is set for
a regular play actor play, isn't il? So
very, very interesting was the story |
heard.
II told how certain young lady,
who stands in great awe Of her majes-
tic father. had received a sutton, with
her mothers consent, and how the
sutton had won the girls heart, and
how the two rather than face papa
with the matter, decided to slip off
and have the fateful affair done a IA
Gretna Green-also with mother s
cobnivance.
But papa knows thing or two, ne
does. And so when he came home one
afternoon and saw daughter and suit
or and mother seated together in ear
nest whispering, he decided tina.
something was up He put them
through the third degree, and by this
means and that he finally wormed the
story out of them.
Great was the wrath OF papa BY
means that lacked little of being the
proverbial kick, he sent the youth fly
ing from the house. And then, being
man of action, he packed mother off
for visit, and daughter he gently led
upstairs and locked in her room
where she stayed for DAYS!
1t was so very, very romantic that
] could hardly believe it hen | first
heard IT. But I have eminent authoF-
sty for telling 1t to you, for ! am as
eured by a very secretive person, who
knows lust how to be tantalizlng and
not tell enough, that It Is so.
Mother is back now, and daughter
is submissive, in this certain house
hold--and the youth. well, no word
has come from him as yet.
TPROPOS of the fEeezing weather
"A last week and the snow storm, l
want to tell you the most original
happening | have ever heard of.
There was a decided lack of servants
in many OF the best regulated house
holds as ] found out by experience
and heresay, and the matron whom
my story concerns had absolutely no
one to do her chores for several days
The dinners had to be served, the
house must be cleaned, and because it
was so cold, fires must be made. OF
course, she didn't mind lighting the
Ares and all the other indoor work 1t
was rather a novel experiencefor her.
But that coal proposition-that is
what hurt her pride. Yet freeze she
would not She must needs bring
her fuel from the back garden and
she thought perhaps the nelghbors
might misunderstood and think she
was used TO such mental labor. So
she devised a unique plan. She
donned a pair Of her sons trousers
and his coat and pulled a SLOUGH hat
over her couture and then she didn't
mind the rest so much, Just so the
critical outsiders might never know.
OF what false pride are We mortal
women possessed!
M ADAME PATTI has invited some
of her kinspeople from Atlanta
to spend several months with
her. You. all know Alfredo Barlli
and his talented daughters. It is of
them I am speaking. Mr.. Barili and
Miss Louise will leave early in April
for Europe, and at the beautiful castle
of Madame Patti, when she calls
Craigy- Nos, in South Wales, they
will remain until late in the summer
Miss Louise and Viola Barili expect
TO I'LL some engagements for recitals
in Chicago in September, and they
may give one or two before Miss
