SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
National HeirIooms, About to Fall
Apart, Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged to William Penn have
just been repaired by two women who
have never seen the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The two women
are inmates OF the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Home for Blind Women. The
chairs are preserved in the east room
of independence hall, on the second
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms
OF the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out.
The committee in charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse. But
they did not dare to let the chairs
be taken out of Congress hall.
SO they sent for Miss Ira Frost. mis-
tress of handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women, and she
brought with her to the room two OF
the blind women who understood chair
repairing. The work was peculiarly
difficult, for it was impossible to erect
in Congress hall the Gaming table need
ed to hold the chairs firmly in place,
and, moreover, their woodwork was
soft with age. But the deft seeing
fingers" of the bling women did the
work in spite of all the difficulties, and
now the precious William Penn chairs
are safe.

had been. Populations of some order;
OF this she was reasonably sure. So
why seek for details. when these might
be sordid?
Singapore would see the end, and
she would become her normal self
again.
She clasped the necklace around her
lovely throat. She was dressing for
dinner, really dressing. An impish
mood filled her with the irrepressible
desire to shine In all her splendor to-
night. Covertly she would watch thu
eyes of mediocrity widen. Hitherto
they had seen her in the simple white
of travel. Tonight they should behold
the woman who had been notable
among the beauties in Paris, Vienna,
Rome, London; who had not married a
duke simply because his title could
not have added to the security of her
position, socially or financially.
Into the little mirror above the wash
stand she peered, with smiling and ap-
proving eyes. Never had she looked
better. There was unusual color in
her cheeks and the clarity of her eyes
spoke illuminatingly of superb health.
The tan on her face was not made
noticeable in contrast by her shoulders
and arms, old ivory in tint and as
smooth and glossy as ancient Carrara.
.You lovely creature!" murmured
Martha, touching an arm with her lips.

She finished the hooking of Elsa's
waist.
"And why?"

'Or what? An improper persona"
Elsa laughed. my dear Martha, your
comparisons are faulty. know but
two duchesses in this wide world who
are not dowdies. and one Of them is an
American. An improper person is gen.
orally the most proper, outside her Pc
culiar environments. Cant you sug-
gest something else!"
| Martha searched but found no suit
able reply. She believed that she saw
more clearly into the future than Elsa.
Someone would talk, and In that
strange inscrutable fashion scandal
has of reaching the ends Of the earth,
the story would eventually arrive
home; and there, for all the profess
sions of friendship, 1t would find ADMIT
