~ HE was delightful creature.
"a When she took, me to tea at
~ a fashionable hotel l ad-
mired the way she acted as the
hostess. She told me she, was
business woman with a prosper
Gus business of her own. / would
have thought her just a pretty
girl without a responsibility of
any kind in the world The sur
prise of surprises came when she
told me she had three children,
a lovely home which she owned,
and q husband.
The invitation to her home was
compliment. And the soft
lights, the exquisite linens and
laces, the rare china and beauti-
full silver of the company table
were a sight to behold. BUT
when the Riddles and Mr.. Hus
, band sat down to eat, their absO-
lutte lack of any semblance Of
table manners was 4 pity indeed.
Husband ate in his shirt sleeves.
Children ran in from play with
out washing up-without tidying
clothes or hair. They ATE
RAVENOUSLY not to mention
noisily
The strange part was that the
mother did not seem to either
notice the lack of manners, or if
she did she made NO attempt to
correct the children. WHAT AN
INJUSTICE TO THE chill
DREN!
1t is the duty of every woman
in charge of children to see that
they come to the simplest of
meals with faces washed, hair
brushed and clothing neatly
sonoothcd, if not actually changed
The child should be taught to eat
noiselessly and should have Ger
tain little fines imposed upon
him if he spills food or drink
upon the tableclOth even if that =

; I'm terribly frightened" said
Silver.
That's the one thing we can't
allow. With your face and voice
there should be no such word as
fear or fail"
The apartment bell rang.
THAT should be Mrs. O'Mally
The most wonderful dressmaker!
1 do hope she is sober. But it
doesn't really matter
Mrs. O'Mally was not sober.
She was very tall, very bony,
very red-headed, and very drunk.
When she had had a good look
at Silver, and seen how beautiful
she was, she swore frightfully
and harped upon the expressions
''swate,'' 'machree," and "a
drame.'

The Drunken Woman.
And Silver was alone with the
drunken ,Irish-woman. Whereupon
there followed two hours of fas-
cinating and original dressmaking.
To Silver, made to revo1ve
slowly in front of tall and flat
tering mirror, the time passed
with wonderful swiftness. For
she soon saw that she was going
to bloom as she had never bloom
ed before. Mrs. O'Mally reeled,
swore, and staggered, but her
hands went swiftly and surely
about their business, draping,
smoothing, pinning, basting, and
evolving out of soft and lovely
materials belonging to Mrs. Mich
elm sleeveless, reckless evening
dress that dazzled by its simplicity
and it's aplomb..
When it was finished Mrs.
O'Mally sat down, in a kind, of
heap, and laughed.
Then she wept, then she told
Silver the story of her life. And
it was not pretty story. Then
she had Just one nip of whis-
key, and then she had another.
After that she lectured on the
beauties of temperance. Then she

Under all this affectation and

careful to note the effect Of Silver
Sands upon those who were seeing
her for the first time. Would her
personality spread at once through
out the whole supper room, or be
confined to persons in the imme-
date vicinity of his table? Would
a few people only be saying, "A
new beauty has come to town." or
would the whole Broadway world
be saying it? OF this last he had
