Of whom l would ask such a favor
Lillian Katherine and little Mrs.

were out of the question, and while

word of my need over the telephone

Not that I minded the friendly
eyes Of my little neighbor. even with
the touch Of amused malice with
which I knew she would view my
accident. But her knowledge would
inevitably mean that of Edith Fair

herself would come in to see me II
for no other reason than to appear
properly sOlfcitous for Dicky's wife.

whose critical and amused scrutiny
I should shrink more sensitively

Just Folks
ME CARPET o. LII sTAIRS

THE CARPET on THE STAIRS
Let others sing in modern ways. IT'S
Joy enough for me
To sing in good old-fashioued rhyme
the DAYS thai used 90 be
The page OF boyhood's scrubbed fun
with things we used 20 do.
The fun we had. the games we play
ed. the little tasks we knew.
And hack TO mind there comes today
the hardest Of our cares
That springtime job OF putting down
the carpet on the stairs.
Housecleaning time meant wear
legs and hands and aching
backs.
For no moro tedious job there Is
than driving carpet tacks.
Then mother told Us what 10 DO.
and on our hands and knees
We stretched and hauled and pulled
and tugged and did our best 70
please;
But, oh, I well remember now ono
task which patience wears.
That awkward. muscle straining Job
OF carpet;ng the stairs.
We'd start upon the topmost step
and Jet the carpet roll,
But then began a feat Of strength
to try the bravest soul
The corners must be fOlden so and
stretched and firmly tackled.
With mother watching every move
as down the stairs we backed.
And many a time we've reached the
end, discovering there and then
II wouldn't do at all that way and
must be laid again.
No more we break our finger nat;s
and set our knees on fire
In stretching carpets on the floors
no more our muscles tire.
No more the mother stands above
our Bonded forms TO see
That every tack is driven home thu
way it ought 20 be.
The times are very different now,
and no one ever shares
The JOY and pain Of long ago, whsle
carpeting the stairs.

THE QUESTION THE DOCTOR
ASKED MADGE


The rotund little house physician
of the hotel listened with an admir-
able air of professional solicitude
to my story of the accident which
had resulted in so bizarre a discol-

a sudden upward glance at him re-
revealed to me that ne was cycling

that he was weighing me and my
story, and I felt a fierce little throb
of unjust resentment at the discov-
cry.
That he accepted the tale as
truthful, however, I soon realized
although 1 was hardly prepared for
his comment.
1T must have been a terrifying
experience understand you were
travelling alone" he said casually.
Naturally I had made no allusion
to the mysterious foreigner who had
forced his companionship upon me
with the plea Of being my fathers
friend But the dapper little doc
tors question brought the dlstin-
guished personality Of the man
whom I had eluded so forcibly to
my mind, that l had hard work to
make my reply as casual as his COM
ment.

of the knowledge Of her every act, but

The dancer had found her avoca.

The dancer had found her avoca-

back without regret on the Orient to
come and show her shapely limbs in
Europe. How daring her dancing was
may be judged by q phrase she used
at her trial, when the court asked her
why she was on such good terms with
the chief of police of Berlin.

show of indignation, "the police havo
the right of censorship of theatrical
costumes. They declared that l was
too lightly garbed. The chief of police
came to look at my dance. We became
friends"
In Paris her success was no less
great. During army manoeuvres she
was the guest of high commanders,
She made many trips to italy, Spain,
Germany, Russia. At her pretty and
daintily furnished homo at Neuilly she
entertained politicians. judges, artists
and military leaders. She was laying
the wires for the big deal she planned
to make when the inevitable war be-
