ITS long way round in this big old
 world and back again.

1 II world and back again.
 By way of illustration:
 A story came to me the other day wher
 a little coterie of us were talking abou ! Maude Adams visit here and "The Lit
 tie Minister" and Sir James Matthew
 Barrie, and the popularity of all three. 1 It appears that in a certain household i q more than ordinary intelligent and wei
 educated maid was employed; she hat
 several "burrs" and a couple of ''whiz-
 zle-gees' on the tip of her tongue, fol
 Marguerite" came from Bonnie Scot
 land
 One day it so happened that this use. ! full maid servant celebrated her fiftr 1 year of activity in this aforesaid house hold and as they were desirous of do-
 ing something nice for her they said:
 Marguerite, name the show and you
 shall have tickets What's your Bonnie
 Scottish pIeasure?'
 l There was not d moments hesitation
 she seemed to be as fluently familiar with
 the stage as well--Sir Herbert Tree, let
 us say, or MT. Jack Barrymore. "If it's all tn same to you, please, said Marguerite, "I'll be after goin' to see, Miss Maude Adams in The Little ! Minister'-Sir J. M. Barrie's play The people gasped.
 "'The Little Minister
 "The same" said Marguerite. There's nothin' better in all the land than a glimpse of Miss Adams with MT. Harris as a background.
 Of the seasons many attractions the Bonnie Scottish maid wanted most of all to see Miss Adams an1 "Sir J. NJ" and all the while she'd been freezing ice cream during the summer, and spilling the soup down the perfectly good back of the minister when he took Sunday dinner at the house and passing around the last shreds of a sad, sad. canteloupe, she'd been guarding her pretty secret, Wherefore
 She fell to describing the Barrie as we over here knew him not, and the quaint little home that is his and his birthplace of more than modest mien, and of the miles of purple heather and of all that makes Bonnie Scotland so truly wonder ful.
 It was easy to see how "Sir J. M." is loved in the little Scottish hamlets and of why" and then Marguerite" carried the little party to Edinburgh with her, and over the shadowy hills to quaint lit tie, queer theatres where MT. Barrie S plays are done with a charm and a del- icacy almost impossible outside the boun- diaries of the rippling heather of the Xiii crankie country.
 Goodness gracious alive! It was like unto being in certain fussy little garden with MT. Barrie himself, or following him to his lodging in London.
 we don't think so veery mooch of som
 things what he writes," Marguerite in-
 sTDoka De-. J,Nta iv,s the kiddies, maybe and some uv his short things not bein' so veery serious like, but The Little Minister that's different; it's dear of boonch uv Mister Bar rie's best self and with Miss Adams a-playin' of it, well, it's just about the best a body can get!''
 Nobody in the household stopped to ask Marguerites opinion of Tagoro's lecture in America, or the production of Mir. DeKoven's new opera at the Metropolitan. 'The Cantebury Pilgrims" or whether the vice commissions diagram should be applied to Mir. Dreser's "The Genius, or Gaby Dely's latest head dress, but i what they did was to see that certain we'll hammered maid had a first row bal 1 cony seat for the matinee at the Jeffer- son, and who for all they knew will sil there just as pompously as Jenny foine
