Ever since the advent of Cissy, there had been wrath and rebellion among the girl ushers of the Fifth Avenue vaudeville house
 Without warning. and without reason with no lucid explanation than the flap of lean hand, Pat Crow the head usher had banished Gladys, the titan tinted ushering the left-hand box aisle chesra, the high but ignomnious second balcony, and had installed Cissy, brand d-new girl, in Gladys coveted place on the orchestra floor Injustice alone, smacking of the foul odor of favoritism was enough to make the ushers woman, sob with Gladys and sniff at Cissy. Cissys beauty added insult to injury. Cissy's sumberous violet eyes were frnged by naturally black ashes her lips needed no rouge stick, the color in her cheeks came of it's own accord, and her first appearance in the ushers dressing room, in preparation for the daily matinee, she had complacently taken down coil after coil of shimmering har-not a switch not braid, not transformation. but irremovable unfaked, titan hair.

MAKING HER TELL

(From Arnold Bennett's novel, The Price of
 Love')
 The doctor had left word that food was not to be forced on her.

 Mrs. Maldon answered in peculiar tone: My dear, shall never feel any better than I do now
 oh, you mustn't talk like that" said Rachel in gay protest
 T want talk you Rachel said Mrs Nal don, once more reassuringy matter of fact Sit down there'
 Rachel obediently perched herself the bed and bent her head. And her face, which now much closer to Mrs. Maldons expressed the gravity which Mrs Maldon would wish. and also the affectionate ondescenslon of youth towards age, and of health towards nfrmity. And almost unconscously she exulted in her youth, and strength, delicate tie poignards of tragic grief Mrs Maldons help less and wthered senility seemed stab through that personal pride, The shiny veined right hand of the old woman emerged from under the bedclothes and closed with hot fragile grasp Rachels hand.

 "Yes?r murmured Rachel, duped by Mrs. Nal dons manner into perfect security. She think ing: Whats the poor old thing got in her head now? Is is something fresh about the money?'
 It's about yourself" said Mrs. Maldon
 Rachel exclaimed mpusively:

 She could feel faint vibration in Mrs Maldons hand.

WHALE DANCE OF EsKIMos
Peculiar Fest'vIty That Gives the
Young Men Chance to Choose
Their Wives.

A very primitive custom Of the ma
tives of the Bering and Arctic coasts
Of Siberia, a custom that has come
down from generations Of savage an
cestors, is the annual celebration OF
the whale dance, when the Eskimos
select their wives.
When the sun moves southwark at
the end Of the short summer season.
and the ice closes upon the northern
seas, the whales come down to open
water. Then in celebration of the
seasons catch the ice dwellers as.
semble for the whale dance, which
lasts 21 days. ,......
The great dance circle is prepared,
and in the center the dancers, both
male and female, perform the most
savage of evolutions and motions to
the accompaniment OF rhythmless
beating of the tom-toms and weird
chanting. The dance songs tell OF the
prowess OF the hunters and of the his
tory of the tribe. The movements Of
the women are surprisingly graceful,
and they mean to show in their dance
that, as daughters Of a great people,
they are possessed Of all the qualities
such women should have. The men
execute pantomimic scenes OF the
hunt, and go through all the motions
Of the kill; they spear the ice bear,
slay the walrus and seal, and finally,
with extraordinary contortions, van
quish the mighty whale.
During the last days Of the feast,
when the time arrives for the selec-
ton of husbands and wives, the man
performs his mate dance before the
woman he has picked out. In panto-
mime he promises to provide her gen.
erously with the fruit of the hunt,
both food and fur. If she is pleased
with him, she walks out and dances
her acceptance and shows how she
Will look after the igloo. When they
have danced before each other they
are married after the custom OF the
tribe and he leads her off to his wal
rus hide lodge.
During the dance they feast on
whale. The skin of the baleen whale
is about an inch thick and looks
like rubber. The solid blubber be-
tween it and the true flesh is usually
about II inches thick. The black skin
and the blubber, the latter cut to the
thickness of the former, is called ncE-
tux and is considered great delicacy.
It is eaten raw, and although it sounds
repulsive to the civilized ear, Is most
palatable. It has a flavor something
like that of chestnuts.-Youth's Com
panion.

Improving Egypt.

Egypt has drainage problems az
well as irrigation ones. Just at pres
ent the Egyptian government is pump
ing out Lake Mareotis, a sheet OF
shallow, brackish water in the ex'
treme north Of the delta, at the back
door of Alexandria. About million
acres Of cultivable land will be re-
claimed by this work, though not all
at the same time. Other drainage
projects Of equal magnitude will be
taken up later.
Here, as in so many other cases, the
Anglo.Egyptian government is follow
Ing in the footsteps Of the more en-
iightened Pharaohs and Ptolemies OF
ancient days. Lakes were drained in
Egypt 5000 years ago. Where old
time kings used the shadoof and the
unpaid labor Of fellahin, modern rulers
employ steam and machinery; but the
end aimed at is the same.
