Nestor Building, Philadelphia
How she had coaxed Gerald to goI
He used to love dancing! How mar
rage changed men! 1t was different
with women. They didn't lose all ro
nance in two short years.
Then she thought of something. WHY
not go to dancing school alone? Many
women did!
She rolled baby's bed as quietly as
she could to the window and pulled
the shade to the top. If she left a
bright light burning in the room she
could look over at him after every
dance to make sure he was all right.
In a few minutes she was dressed
in a year-old white gown and black
slippers and stockings, but she felt
like Cinderella in satin and crystal
going to her first ball.
The preliminaries were a little try
Ing to timid Priscilla, but the delight
Of dancing more than made I'D for
the effort. AS she had planned, after
every dance she went to the window
for peep at the baby, who lay, as
she had left him, sound asleep in his
bed close to the window.
Priscilla laughed softly to herself.
How splendidly her plan had worked!
Two hours of pleasure like this once
week would keep her going hun
dreds of lonely evenings at home
alone. What Gerald does not know
does not hurt him!" she reflected
smiling. I'm not doing anyone in the
world bit of harm"
The class work on a new one.step
took little longer than usual. and
by the time it was over Priscilla was
frantic with anxiety. She made
straight for the window and looked
down at Baby Gerald's window.
She put her hand suddenly to her
mouth to stifle a scream. She was
just in time to see two masculine
arms lift baby from his bed and dis
appear.
She had locked the door and no one
else but Gerald had a key. But Ger
aid had no pepper-and-salt clothes, and
the two arms that held her precious
baby were encased in rough tweed!
Priscilla ran! Like a flash she was
down the stairs, out on the street,
then up the stairs of her own build
ing. The door of her apartment was
standing open and-Gerald junior was
gone!
She tried to reach the telephone, but
the floor was waving and everything
was dancing before her eyes. She sat
down an instant until things should
get steadier-then quietly tainted
away.
The next morning Gerald senior sat
holding one of Priscilla's hands. Baby
Gerald lay cooling in his crib and
everything seemed delightfully."- peace
full and happy to the little woman in
bed. IF you don't mind, Gerald,
dear, will you please tell me all over
again how you rushed home for baby
when you got the message your
grandmother was passing through
town and wanted to see her only
greatgrandsOn?
So he told her again.
Whose coat had you on, dear?"
Sans, my clerks. l had only ten
to get to the train and in my
rush got the wrong one
And you're sure you don't mind
my going to dancing schooI?"

look after the baby and Wen go fox

AN EVENING OFF
BY LOUISE OLIVER.

Priscilla laid Gerald junior in his
crib, tilted the bottle to just the
proper angle and snatched a soft lit
tie handkerchief out of her belt just
in time to prevent very bitter tear
from dropping down on to the wee
pink cheek on the pillow.
Gerald senior had just gone out,
slamming the door as most males do,
considering the same a fitting finale
for marital row. This was their
first quarrel, and Priscilla felt that
the earth was shaking under her feet
She slipped into kimono and sat
down by the window. 1t was not quite
dark, but the street below was very
quiet; so was the little fat-just
soft, contented sound from the crib in
the corner. The silence added to her
loneliness. OF course little Gerald was
the dearest, sweetest, most precious
darling in the wide world, but after
she had cooed and kissed and patted
and rocked all day, to say nothing of
the ceremonious bath and airing in the
pei she Iclt IL ucI pTlNISS6
to associate with people OF her own
age, after baby had settled himself to
sleep all night; preferably Gerald
senior, but-and this was what the
trouble was all about-he had a drug
store, and no one could be trusted
with the precious prescription factory
from 8 a. N. until IL p. N. daily but
himself. Priscilla was left to amuse
herself as best she could.
Suddenly someone threw up a win
dow in the building next door and
strains of music came floating over
to her. She raised her own window
in order to hear better. 1t was a
waltz, and. looking up. she caught a
glimpse now and then of passing
dancers.
Gerald junior was sleeping now. She
took away the bottle, covered him
snugly-and then she went to her
desk. Long ago she had tucked away
an engraved card somewhere in a
pigeOnhole. She found it under the
baby's weight chart.

New York, Nov. S.-How to buy
when to buy, where to buy, how to
choose food and how to keep il clean
these are the things Miss Laura A
Cauble of the Bureau of Food Supply

Condition of the Poor is telling mo-
theirs and housekeepers of this city.
The associations kitchen is the scene
of her talks, and her assistants illus
trate her words with exhibits of foods.
The kitchen is the only one of its
kind in America, but it has been so
successful that others will soon be es-
tablished 1t was made possible by
the philanthropy of Mrs. william X.
Vanderbilt, Jr. and Mrs. James A. Bur-
den, Jr., who provided the fund neces-
sary for its opening.

These are some of the oddities
which crop up despite Plato and his
stale philosophy. And the experienced
are inclined to shake their heads and
doubt the possibility Of all things en-
tirely platonic.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1915-11-08

However, despite frigid resolutions,
the young man in the case was embold-
ened to imprint a purely platonic kiss
one day on the pretty lips of his little
philosopher, encouraged by the
shady palms and winding ways of the
West. On the return journey those
observation-car sessions became sew
eral shades more interesting, and
when he got back to the daily grind
of business in his little country town,
or, to be less prosaic and more Scrip
tural sat among the mOney-changers
in the local temple, he became en-
boldened to send his little platonic
friend picture of Harrison Fishers
"MistletOe Kiss" with a certain sig
nificant date and place of record on
the back thereof, which was followed
only a few days later by a clipping
from a paper entitled "Why l Am a
Bachelor"

ways springs up, ready to be consumed,
like the proverbial widows cruise,
wherever the nice girl is.
In this case the young man under
discussion was more than willing to
sail the smooth waters of friendship;
or, to he more accurate, to tread the
Ilatonic Pathway. Not that very
much walking could be done on board
the train which led the party on the
personally conducted tour. Blu, then
there was no necessity to walk when
sitting on the observation car on glori-
Gus moonlight nights formed a per-
fectly good kind of entertainment.
California in September has it's
charms, which not only the we'll

And this pair were no exception.
The course of Plato, unlike the course
of true love, ran so smooth that they
really enjoyed the trip immensely.
Since love brings strange heartburn
ings and odd vicissitudes, this sensible
young couple adjured the little blind
god altogether.
