A CHAPTER OF LIFE

This beautiful spring-like weather is in sharp contrast to that of February, 1905, when the thermometer dropped to de- grees above zero, wrapping the southland in ice and snow.
 My experience at that time was so un- usual it sounds like "Munchausen tale, D but 1t is true nevertheless.
 our house on Highland avenue was large and quite a care in cold weather, not having furnace and all modern con- veniences. The cook preferred renting a room and walking mile to and fro to her work to occupying the servants room on the place.

 As the night grew on the heavens fore told snow, and in bidding good night to my cook, said, 'Now will you come through the snow In the morning?' "Well, I'll sho be here if taint up to my knees and aint sick with this misery in my back, pears now 'tis taking a power full grip on me-

WAR RESORT FOR
 WOUNDED OFFICERS

Copenhagen, February 2o.-fSpecial I Niesbaden on the Rhine whither many of the worlds celebrities have rushed at the hrst twinge of rheumatism has become a war resort for wounded generals and officers of high rank in the German army. The whole place has been taken over by the military command
 Marshal Hindenburgs nephew, Lieutenant Non Maustein. who brought very severe wounds with him from the west front. Most of the big hotels are shut The great Festival hall, with it's palm trees and balconies, is still open, but the band is military one, and it plays to an au- dience almost wholly composed of wound ed officers and ladies who are making bandages and knitting socks for the men at the front over the tea cups the offi- eers are telling the women folk how they got their wounds.
 It is difficult to escape the wounded in Wiesbaden. Officers of the highest rank are to be seen in bath chairs in the Will helmstrasse on a fine afternoon, but the first remarkable thing about this famous promenade is that nearly every man is hobbling on crutches or leaning on a stick. Every motor in Wilhelmstrasse flies Red Cross flag.
 Nowhere in Germany are the horrors of war brought home so painfully The con trast with peace conditions, indeed, is greater in this famous place than in the ordinary humdrum towns of Germany

him, at the zenith of his career. Woven into the action of the piece is the diplomatic battle for the control of the Suez canal, which Disraeli conducted and won for England single handed, No one could be made to realize the importance of preventing the control of the canal from falling into unfrjendly hands; the Bank of England refused to aid him in his project, and only by going to the Jews for money and by astutely Installing all moves made by his opponents, did he complete s task the fruits of which were soon recog- nized. All this in the play serves mere ly as background for a love story encouraged and fostered by Disraeli with the same cunning with which he bent political tools to serve his pur- poses. In general, Disraeli's tactics in turthering the wooing of the Lady Ciarisso by Viscount Deeford are much the same as those of Richeleu in re- gard to the Chevalier Mauprat and Julie in Lytton's famous play. Before the contemplated match is consum- mated Disraeli makes the young aris- tocrat prove himself man.
 MT. Parker might never have written his now famous play had not the only actor been available whose art. tech. nique and personality fitted it's tltular role. It was the personality of Mir Ar liss, too, that determined the period of Disraeli's life to be dealt with in the play.
 In writing the comedy for Mir Arliss it is bland, quizziscal. Machiavelli os the conservative party the Disraeli of later life, that is dealt with
 The production of "Disraeli" is said tc te an elaborate one scenically, par. ticularly the brilliant last act, which represents the reception hall in Down. ing street, just before the presenta- tiol to the Queen. The costmuse of the period-the early 70s--lend the play at tractive pictorial qualities
 MT. Arliss' company includes Ernieta Lascelles, Florence Arliss, Margaret Dale, Leila Repton, Lila Campbell. Vincent Sternroyd, Charles Hsrbuie Arthur Eldred, St. Clair Bayfield, aud others.

My Wonderful Steno6rdDher
By ISA GREENE

"I see that you have still got the same girl, Smith," Jones remarked to me
 rather enviously when he left my office
 the other day. Jones is not the first of my business colleagues to think it won- derful that have had the same sec-
 retary-typist for six years-and from
 things which my observation has gath
 cred, it seems that plenty of business girls marvel equally at Miss Brown hav- ing managed to keep the same job for
 so long a time.
 Not that there is anything miraculous about the natter but in my opinion-as an employer-it seems that people are too
 emphatic in telling girls how to obtain
 work at an office, when the real dif- ficulties lie not so much in getting as in keeping such position.
 Take my wonderful Miss Brown" for example. She is not very brilliant or clever and she has not the technical knowledge which her predecessor pos sessed. The latter, however. kept a clock upon her desk-a clock which was
 always exactly right, or possibly fast, but never slow. The day when this other
 wise excellent secretary stopped typing a letter in the middle because her little clock chimed six. was indirectly the cause of her dismissal. Now Miss Brown is not clock watcher. She never minds staying late when she knows 1t is nec- essary, and she would not dream of leaving a piece of work unfinished in order to rush out to lunch or to leave at six prompt.
 If Miss Brown is not specially clever, she has got what is more valuable--com- mon sense She does not need to be told how to do each trivial thing that
 comes along; but when she is told to
 do a thing she does it-she is not among
 those unfortunate girls whom have en-
 countered among my friends typists, who appear to, know far better how to run
