what is known as City Life.
They were simply four scrambling
Units in the Great Ant-Hill; four tiny

wiggled up and down the main
Thoroughfares. 1t seemed that their
only Chance to make an Impression
on the huge and callous City was to

Carriages moved slowly in the direc-

But Destiny had them spotted.
Father was very busy trying to run
Shoe String up to a National Bank.
He would rush into his Office and open
the Desk and push Buttons and send
Hurry-Up Wires and dictate Letters to
trembling Myrtle with the Small Waist

He had Front like the new Penn

When he was sued in the Courts by
a Victim who wanted a final look at
bis Money, the Reporters came around
and he was so stiff-necked and de-
fiant that all of them referred to him
rs the Millionaire Promoter.
1t was easier to be this kind of q
Millionaire than stand for Search.
Every Office Building is coagulated
with Millionaires who never will be
Caught until the Tin Box is opened in
the Probate Court. Then the Widow

As soon as Father was bawled as a
Millionaire it was up to Mother to Join

When he elbowed his Way into the
City, years before, his Assets consist

laundered Garments and small
Volume telling how to win at Cards.
In the refined Home where he OBJ
tanned his Liver and Macaroni paved
with Cheese, he met the Daughter of
the Household. When there was a
Rush she would some times put on all
Of her Rings and help wait on the
Table, although her Star Specially

Why Worry Over Eatea

We cannot escape fate. Even If
we are allowed to lead useful life
after forty, and escape chloroform
at sixty, we must still face the fact
that we have little chance of round
ing up with the 10 per cent of hu-
mankind that is free from tubercu-
losis. And the scientific dictum is
old that nobody is perfectly sane.
The pathetic part OF the matter is
that so many people go on living in
disgraceful ignorance of the tragedy
of their existence. even making merry
withal.

practice in her Room for Hours at a
time, gripping the Rocking Chair with
both Hands and trying to get the real
Bostonian sound of "a" as in Lard.
Her Efforts were not In Vain, for
one Day when the Club Meeting broke
up with the Lady President throwing
Fits and Copper guarding the Ballot
Box, the principal Insurgent was men
toned in the Public Prints as a Popu-
lar Society Matron and Leader in the
New Movement among Women. They
had to call her that or the Story of her
shooting the Ink-Stand at the Re-

worth playing up on the First Page.
1t was a proud Morning for Gordon
and Ethel when they saw all the
Pictures and learned that they were
the immediate Descendants OF the
Millionaire Promoter and the Popular
Society Matron.
Gordon found himself endowed with
a Social Status which enabled him, at
the Age of %, to gain admission to an
exclusive Club of 5000 Members. the
object of which was to serve q Accent
Table d'Hote every Noon to as many
as were willing to take Chance.
Therefore, when he was yanked out
OF his 2-cylinder Car and stood up
before the Magistrate, charged with
running over People and smearing up
the Boulevard, the whole Reading
Public was thrilled to hear of what
had happened to Well-Known Club
man whose Father was Millionaire
Promoter and whose Mother was a
Popular Society Matron.
BY this time Ethel was merely a
Relative
She had not come across in any
Particular.
AS a matter Of Fact, she was not
pulling down any Ribbons at Beauty
Shows and toed in when she walked
and was beyond the reach of Massage
Cream.
However, she was not discouraged.

in an Scar Garage and next Day she

After all this came out, Father still

whole Family, including the Chauf

Dutch boys gave them "Rooken Yer

they roared with boisterous laughter
over their failure.
Then they posed for the camera,
and it was a pleasant game. They
seemed more like amiable children
than bandits-children playing at
war, with real rifles and with belts
heavy with real cartridges for toys.
This, though, is a mistaken impress

children, but real men, awake and

Presidents Youngest Daughter
Will Play in the Masque
Sanctuary"

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Mis.
Eleanor Wilson, the President
youngest daughter, has come to New
York to take part in Percy Mackaye's
bird masque Sanctuary" which is
to be presented under the patronage
of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson at the Hotel
Astor to- morrow evening.
THE masque was presented at Cor
nish, n H, last summer. 1t was writ
ten by Mr. Mackaye for the dedica-
ton of the bird sanctuary of the
Meridian Bird Club" explained Miss
Wilson. I'VE thought such a valu-
able lesson was taught by the play
that it's influence for good should be
extended. Accordingly, it will be pro-
duced at the Aston in conjunction with
two important conferences, at which
addresses will be made by those inter-
ested in conserving bird and animal
life.
The masque contains a strong re-
Duke to those who slaughter birds for
feathers and other purposes. l am
strongly opposed to the ruthless
slaughter of birds and all other an
mails for decorative purposes, and l
am glad to be able TO do my little
share in discouraging it."
The Presidents daughter was very
attractive in rich blush green vel
vet suit and hat of dark material
trimmed with strip of red.
81 am to take the part Of Ornis,
bird spirit, who makes a plea on be-
half of the birds" said Miss Wilson.
Can you give a description Of your
costume?" she was asked.
Miss Eleanor smiled in pcrpleXl!y
and turned to Mr.. Mackaye.
IT'S rather difficult to describe,
isn't it," she said with laugh.
yes" replied Mr.. Mackaye. Il
should say it is a Grecian gown;
white, you know, and that sort of
thing"
Incidental songs will be sung by
Miss Margaret Wilson. Miss Eleanor
said her mother will be unable to at
tend the performance but that her
sister will surely be here.
