Why Strangers Stare Made Madge
 Most Uncomfortable


 ''Did you say you wanted to go into town with me this morning, Madge? If you do, you'll have to get a move on. I want to catch that S:21 train. I've got a lot of work I want to finish up before we start Thursday morning, then I won't have to think of the studio for @ week."
 It was the Monday morning before Katies wedding. She had stipulated that she was to be married on We'd nesday, because, as she explained naive1y, "she wanted to get washin' ironin' all out of way before she left" As she was to be married early in the ID orning it gave me a chance to wish her godspeed, and to go to the city in time to attend the history section of the Lotus Study club, before which lectured every Wednesday. We were not coming back to the house at all Dicky's mother had at last sulkily agreed to go to a New York hotel She was feeling unusually we'll, and I knew that she was secretly very glad of the chance to live luxuriously at a metropolitan hoste1ry for week. Dicky and I were to stay at the hotel | with her the first night and take the | Hudson river boat Thursday 1 Dtcky had written engaging a room l for us at the farmhouse, of which he 1 had spoken to me.

 "I'm Ready Now''
 The puppy Dicky had brought me ] | intended to trust to the care of Eddie Hoch, the good-natured, freckled lad who did our errands. and whose mother and sister had caused me such discomfort by their gossip. I did not cutie like to give the dog into Eddie's care. but I had found that he was an unusually good-hearted boy and very fond of animals so I ventured It.

One With Enthusiasm.

We were talking about a form of social injustice which particularly arouses a friend of mine.
 Sometimes I think I will try to start a crusade against it," she said but what can one unimportant per son like mo do against a great evil ?"
 If you have enthusiasm enough, you might do a great deal"
 "Oh, I-d'on't know,' she said, doubt fully. T have enthusiasm enough but what can one person accomplish even if she is enthusiastic ?'
 Almost everything,' I said.
 And I meant it,
 The World Has Been Moved By One
 With Enthusiasm.
 Worldwide movements have been started by one person and enthusi- aSm.
 That is because one person with enthusiasm is not long one person. enthusiasm is cOnta giouS.
 Take the Sunshine Bulletin and the nationwide work for blind babies. Both of these exist today because, when Cynthia Westover Alden foup d in the course of her newspaper work that there was no home to which to send blind baby whose parents could not take care of it, she was not sat- 1sf1ed to say, This is terrible, but what can one person do about it ?' Instead, she set about arousing the world to this need. She has done It,, and incidentally produced that world blessing, the Sunshine Bulletin.

MAY IRWIN JUST
 AS GOOD AS EVER

It was all May Irwin, the Queen of ceum Saturday night. True she car ried with her a vehicle of fun, one that bore the appellation "33 Wash ington Square," but that is a matter of little interest. The play was writ ten, it just had to be written, around the genial Miss Irwin, of whom it may be said, "There is no other" She Is just as jovial and jolly today as was, we'll, say several years ago. For ever since Miss Irwin announced her. self as an ardent supporter of wom an suffrage she has somewhat grace fully declined to mention her years, saying, in her off-hand fashion, that "a man is as old as he looks,, and a woman as old as she feels like be-
 ing" All of which is very truthfully put And which also accounts for the amount of fun that May Irwin can inject into a thdee hour performance.
 Back in the olden days, back in the good old days, May Irwin ranked as the leading singer of coon songs in the country. Those who saw the performance Saturday night were treated to some of Miss Irwin's vocal
  Despite the fact that a small audi ence was present "33 Washington Square, furnished no end of enthusi- asm.

Her schem1ng and plotting IS indulged in and 1t Is decided that a substitute for Mrs. De Puyster shall make the trip while she will remain in her home for the three months- Her son has a sweetheart who IS the daughter of a plumber, to whom ne breaks the news of his 1ntoion to Weo' much to the discomfiture of his ma ternal parent.

This turn of affairs completely overwhe1ms Mrs. De Puy- ster, who, fearing being caught in the deception. decides to take up board ing in a house conducted by Mrs. Gil bert. But the social standing of the place, together with the beautiful disposition of Mrs. Gilbert together with the actions of pr.

F0HL'S CRACK BATTERY
Two Former Breaker Boys Make
Success at Cleveland.
Pitcher Stanley Coveleskie and Catchel
o'NeiII Become Stars in Big Show
Only Through Dogaed De-
termination.

Two former breaker boys of the coal
regions OF Pennsylvania are doing
their share toward keeping Cleveland
a big factor in the American league
race. They form battery that has
been uniformly successful all season.
The ex-anthracite wonders who are
increasing in fame with leaps and
bounds are Pitcher Stanley Coveleskie
of Shamokin and Catcher Steve
O'Neill of Minooka. Oddly enough,
both players were tried by Connie
Mack in their undeveloped stage, but
were let out. After numerous rebuffs
Stanley Coveleskie, whose brother,
Harry, won fame earlier in the major
league, unheralded came TO Cleveland
this year and made good from the
start.
CoveleSkie is an iron man, and has
been worked repeatedly out of turn,
especially being dependable as a re-
lief man in close games. In a recent
series with the Mackmen Stanley per-
formed an uncommon feat. Cleveland
was leading. 3 to l, when Klepfer
weakened in the ninth inning.
The first two Mackmen to face him
