SHOWED SMALLNESS Of MIND
WhtstIer's PetuIance Under Criticism
Was Cause Of Sorrow to His
Numerous Admirers,

There is no doubt that Whistler was
a master Of bitter words His phrases
have a casual ease of swapping and
singing that often .scarifies and some
times amazes. From his Puritan train
ing and his extensive knowledge of the
Bible-"that splendid mine of invec-
tive as he Enthusiastically called
it-as we'll as from his own reckless
temper, he drew a profusion. of abuse,
which withered, whether justi1ab1e or
not. And occasionally he was capable
OF great imaginative touches that re-
call his pictures.
But in general his writing 10 vexa-
dous and, to say the least, undigni.
fed; the angry rattle Of a gifted small
boy, who ought to know better. The
Wilde correspondence is perhaps the
worst; but everywhere we get tone
Of cheap abuse and railing. There is
q careless vigor of sharp wit, but hard
~ the vituperative splendor Of Vol
taire or Swift - 49, - 'I@' -
And it is such small, such 4 shal.
low. such representative way of TAX
ing criticism no urbanity, no serenity,
no large, sweet, humorous acceptance
OF the inevitable chattering Of the
world. I do not see how any admirer
Of Whistler's genius can read The
Gentle Art Of Making Enemies" with
out signing over the pity Of it.-Gama-
lel Bradford, in Atlantic Monthly.

MARY ELLEN.
BY NETTIE r. MILLER.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
90 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
Mary Ellen was q little girl in an
old New England parsonage. They
had to move once in two years in those
days, and this was moving year.
Mary Ellen hated to move again
and leave her chum,. Elizabeth. They
had the loveliest' playhouse--a big,
fiat rock down by the woods. There
was. not much time for play, as little
girls had to work-tO do patch work
and knit, but the playtimes we're all
the more enjoyable when they did
come. {
Mary Ellen was not happy. The
larder had gotten low, and it being
so near moving time, it had not been
replenished. She was so tired Of john
ny cake and mush that she wished
all the cornmeal in the world might, be
dumped into the, sea-. Not since the
last donation; when there had been
two barrels of dougEnuts,~ which had
to be- frozen up and eaten, had her
soul loathed anything as it did johnny
CAKE anu muSn.
1t was this that led to the undoine
Of Mary Ellen. She was usually an
obedient little girl, and when allowed
to 60 and spend an hour with Eliza
beth, she promised faithfully to come
home at the end Of the hour.
She was invited to stay to tea, and
the tempter whispered in her ear
"mush and m0lasses." She succumbed
to temptation and stayed. Somehow
the remainder Of the afternoon lost.
it's favor for Mary Ellen. and not
even the company Of her beloved Eliz-
abeth could dispel the shadow, but
thoughts of supper buoyed her up.
When, after an interminably long
afternoon, they were called to tea,
Mary Ellen saw in the center of the
table an immense bowl of mush.
1t was an unhappy Mary Ellen who
ttmidly approached her home that
night. Mother, looking very grave,
told her that she had been invited with
her older sisters to take tea at Judge
Ramsdell's.
OF all places in the world that she
loved best to 60 was Judge Ramsdelrs.
They had delightful old house with
the most wonderful old attic, and
there were always the most delicious
things to eat.
Surely the way of the transgressor
is hard!
The next afternoon Mrs. Marsh was
going to spend with an old lady. With
thoughts of mush in her mind Mary
Ellen begged to accompany her moth.
err. -" =
Eyes, you may CO." said Mrs.
Marsh in surprise, "but it won't be
very interesting for you. You must
take your knitting" ....,#
All through the afternoon, as she
knitted industriously, thoughts of
pound cake, plum preserves and such
luxuries floated through the mind of
Mary Ellen. Possibly there might
even be fried chicken! . Z .-@
AS the afternoon waned and no.
preparation for tea was made, Mary.
Ellen grew more uneasy. She kept
growing hungrler and hungrier. At
length Mrs. Rogers said:
Sister Marsh, I'm going to have
for tea just what l had planned be-
fore you came. l knew you would
rather visit than have me spend the
time preparing tea. I'm going to have
mush and milk"

Dy all the statesmen and prelates in
the country" exclaimed Mrs. Curfew.
II don't want to be sunbeam, expe-
rience having taught me that 1 can get
along better and have less trouble and
tribulation, when I look as much like
a meatax as possible.
last evening before went to bed
was reading book called Sunshine
Susan 1t was about woman who
just made up her mind to, be happy
no matter what happened. - Then her
husband was brought. home with a
broken leg, and the two children had
a number Of measles simultaneously,
and the house burned down, and the
bank in which she had deposited her
savings closed it's doors, and in spite
Of everything she went around singing
and dancing. :
IF hadsthought it over might
have reallze4 that it was too good to
be true. No human woman could be
gay and happy in the midst of so
many calantties, But I was in a
sentimental mood, and when turned
out the light and went to bed I thought
that ought 6be ashamed of myself
for not being Ike Sunshine Susan, and
l made up my mind would turn over
new leaf first thing in the morn
ing.
$50 came downstairs smiling. and
I was singing all the time was get
ting breakfast, and when Mr.. Curfew
came down he said it warmed up his
whole being to see me in such a cheer
full frame of mind. It reminded him
of him of the time when I was sweet
seventeen, and as pretty as a red
wagon. Then he gradually drifted into
a story to the effect that he had a
great opportunity to make the finest
horse trade Of his career. All he need
ed was 81 in cash to close the trans
action, and he would make at least
SIS by it. .,
HE knew had 81 put away in the
clock to buy myself some clothes I
need the worst way. / had saved that
money, a nickel and a dime at time,
and was looking forward to the time
when would have enough to go shop
ping and buy myself an outfit good
enough for the queen of Sheba.
Mr.. Curfew had been trying to Dor
row my savings for long time, Offer
ing to give me his note as security, and
before I read that Sunshine Susan book
I always refused him, and nearly
snapped his head off doing 1t. But that
morning was anxious to make every
body happy, so I handed him the
money, and he went and made his
horse trade and brought home an old
cr0wbait that has been sick ever since,
and he spends all his time out at the
barn, feeding it pills and powders,
and can't get him to do any Of the
chores around the place.
"The same morning Mrs. Turpentine
heard me singing in the back yard,
and she thought it would be a good
time to borrow my patent electric
washing machine, and came over for
that purpose. She had asked for it a
dozen times before, but I always told
her to 60 to. Being full Of sunshine
on that, occasion, however, told her
she could have it and welcome, and
I've never been able to use it since.
The, man who sold it to me says it
will cost Sc for repairs, SO you see
what Sunshine Susan did to me.
"No, mister, don't want any recipe
for being a sunbeam, and you can
take your book along to Mrs. Tur-
williger, in the yellow house across
the street. She's the champion middle
weight pessimist Of this neighbor-
hood"
