Lutte was an Only Child. When
Lutte was IS her Mother said they
ought to do something with Lutie's
Voice. The Neighbors thought so,
too. Some recommended killing the
Nerve, while others allowed that it
ought to DC Pulled. But what Mamma
meant was that they ought TO have
it cultivated by Professor. She sus-
pected that Lutte had a Career await
ing her, and would travel with an
El0cutionist some day and have her
Picture on the Program.
Lutie's Father did not warm up TO
the Suggestion. He was rather near
when it came 10 frivoling away the
Federal Bank Autographs.
But rshaw. The Astute Reader
knows what happens in Family
when Mother and the Only Child put
| their Heads together to whipsaw the
Producer. One Day they shoulderod
him into Corner and extorted
Promise. Next Day Lutte started to
| Take.
She bought a red leather Cylinder
marked Music" so that people would
not take it to be Lunch. Every
Morning about . o'clock she would
wave the Homework TO one side and
tear for Trolley.
Her Lessons cost the Family about
20 cents Minute. She took them in
a large Building full of Vocal Studios.
People who didn't know used TO stop
in front of the place and listen. ana
think it was a Surgical Institute.
There were enough Soprani in this
one Plant TO keep the Metropolitan
stocked up for a Hundred Years.
Every one thought she was the Par
ticular One who would sooner or later
send Galli-Curci back TO Italy. Lutte
i was just about as chesty as the Next
One.
When she was at Home she would
suck Lemons and complain about
Draughts and tell why she didn't like
the Other Girls Voices. She began to
act like a Prima Donna. and her
Mother was encouraged a Lot. Lutte
certainly had the Artistic Tempera-
ment bigger than a Church Debt.
Oliver Flop at Music.
Now, before Lutte started in to do
things TO her Voice she OCCASIONALLY
held hands with Young Man in the
Insurance Business. named Oliver.
This Young Man thought that Lutte
| was all the Merchandise and she re-
garded him as her permanent Ice
Cream Provider.
But when Lutte began to hang out
at the Studios she took I'm with the
Musical Set that couldn't talk about
anything but Technique and Shading
and the Motif and Vibrato. She be-
gan to fill I'M the Parlor with her new
Friends, and the first thing Oliver
knew he was in the Side Pocket and
out Of the Game.
In his own Line this Oliver was
neat and easy-running. but when you
started him on the topic of Music he
was about as light and speedy as a
Steam Roller. Ordinarily he knew
how to behave himself in a Flat. and
with a good Feeder 10 work hack al
him he could talk about Shows and
Football games and Things to Eat
but when one tried TO draw him out

Well. . seats to the left of Mr..
Macaulay was vacant seat with
out nobody in it and no pillar in

wishing that was his seat when in
come a big stew who had been give
up for lost by the ushers and he
showed Mr.. Macaulav his seat check
and asked him TO find the seat 1t
called for. Well, my townsman look

Glance that it called for the vacant

otting in your seat myself and that
is my seat . seats over"
The Stew and the Pillar.
So Mr.. Macaulay got mp and moved
seats over and the stew set down
behind the pillar and pretty soon he
leaned over and asked Mr.. Macaulay
if the . principals was. in the ring
yet and was told that they were.
Then the stew wanted TO know who
was that big fella. What big fella
fella that is right in front of me
says the stew.
Then Mr.. Macaulay seen that he
was referring to the pillar and he
told him it was Firpo and the stew,
after making the remark that Demp-
sey would never knock that guy down,
fell asleep and slept through the rest
of the evening which whole lot of
other high price ticket holders
might as we'll of did the same for all
they could see.
In fact a friend of mine that set
in S27.50 seat which was suppose
to be the best told me he was under
the impression all through the fight
that the promoters had changed there
mind at the last minute and was
holding it in Butnos Aires. But by
way of comfort to those that paid
big money and seen nothing, will
state that the boys that was right
up at the ringside missed some of 1t
and they was n impression amongst
some of us that even the referee was
behind pillar part of the time.
One or two of the experts had
predicted that Dempsey would prob
ably give the Bull boxing lesson
for a couple rounds, but it become
apparent right Mt the start that the
champ had left his boxing skill in the
check rm. and his plan Of battle was
to knock this guy off as quick as he
had finished Fulton and could of
| finished Carpenter if be had felt like
it.
Firpo Loses Interest.
Therefore Firpo could not learn
| nothing about the manly art of self
| defense, but he learned something
else in the LIST. 10 or 10 seconds
namely that it Amt safe for a man
who is fighting Dempsey 10 lose in
terest in the fight The boys went
into clinch and the referee. who
later proved himself very reticent,
said the word break right out loud.
Firpo, Immediately begin to wonder
what that meant in Spanish and
looked around for his interpreter
Right afterwards he found himself
setting on the floor listening to Eng

The champion was criticised by
some for hitting FirpO when he was
not looking. Personly if | had 10

To the editor:

Bull had there petting party at the
polo grounds but people is still talk
ing about it wherever - and 1-2

sold so / trust that writer who
has run shy of subjects will be ex-
cused if j set down few 100 wds.
in regards to this history making
brawl in spite of the lateness Of the
hour.
Will start out with little incid-
ence in regards to fellow towns
man of mine named Mr.. Maccaulay
from Great Neck who had give up
$1G.J0 for q seat and when he got
seated in same they was nothing right
in front of him except large steel
pillar which is one of many large
steel pillars that keeps the upper
tier of the grand stand from beaning
occupants of the lower tier. Mr..
Maccaulay couldn't see nothing but
the pillar and was kind of sore
though anybody that even got into
the polo grounds that night without
being blackiacked by a policeman
should of considered themself lucky.

The Little Art Gallery is offering another artistic treat this week and next when the Brewer collection of paintings is being shown. This col lection includes. in addition to the works of MT. Brewer, famous paint ings by many contemporary Ameri- can artists.
 Portraits by MT. Brewer stand prominently in the collection, par ticularly one of MT. Brewer himself. MT. James Pattison. an art critic of authority, has said: His portraits are never rendered in the style of this or that painter. but in his own manner. MT. Brewer is an honest, straightforward painter who con- vinces us of the veracity of his point of view and of his faithfulness to his subect." Sane, harmonious coloriza- = tion is the most pleasing feature of MT. Brewers work.
 One of the most appealing pictures in the collection Is the painting, "Belgia," by MT. Brewer. Utter deso- lation and despair are the emotions so wonderfully portrayed in this scene. The model for this pictures Mir. Brewer relates, was real Armenian girl, whose lover Ibid her in" at the auction block where she was offered for sale by the Kurds.

Your Home and You

Fly HELEN KENDALL

Stay to luncheon" begged the hostess. This is my maids day out, and l have to get luncheon myself but it will be much more fun if you two will only stay. Please do.'
 We couldn't resist her, so we all put on her pretty colorful aprons and went merrily out to help. Her blue and white kitchen had been left in spotless order, and there lowed her abou- 1rom pantry to white enameled tapie and then into the little Chippendale dining room, whore she began setting the table.
 Presently everything was ready, from the lobster Newburg on the gas stove to the hot biscuit she had popped into the oven. Then she quietly bent down before the dining room window, beneath which two white cupboard doors were built into the woodwork, and from the white enameled interior she drew out 8 plate of firm butter pats, a pitcher of cold, (but not frozen) cream. a bowl of crisp coll. .aIad-"makin's D and a glass dish of honey gelatine, filled with little cubes of fruit.

But here is my halfway house be- tween summer and winter. Lettuce and celery stay crisp but do not freeze. Milk keeps sweet and un- frozen. Everything chills to the Queens taste.

OF STONES.

DREAMS OF STONES.
 OF PEBBLES, OF ROCKS Mans fortunes and fate are written
 In Stone,
 A pebble or the sacred rock of ages, The craggy coast round which the
 ocean rages,
 All tell tale of humans that are
 gone.
 And so do dreams of stones. of pebbles and of rocks tell tales of the human race, but not of the past; of the future instead.
 Coed dreams are these, in most cases. Have you ever seen a night vision of yourself traversing a deso late region. strewn with stones, grown with rocks A feeling of fear may have come over you in your sleep, but it was deceptive; it should have been one of elation instead, for such dream -wanderings are signs Of a soul searching for the right path and finding it. If one great rock alone Is visible. or attracts your at teation above all the others, you will find a friend, man or woman ,as the case 1lldy De, Wuo " III PioNc III III and reliable an adviser and compan- ion as though his or her heart were as stout and indestructible as the living stone.
 If you dream that you climb upon a rock, laboriously and panting, you will be taken out of your lowly es- tate and elevated to a life of dignity and importance. If you climb lightly and without effort, your future life will be round of merriment and happy days. Only if, after having ascended, you should feel yourself slide backward, or should in some other way be unable to maintain your footing, does the dream bode i'll. You will, after short period of prosperity, fare worse than you did before.
 To see many and large stones-not srocks-is a sign of happy idleness- unproductive, like the stones them selves, but satisfactory and restful. To pick them up, several, or one by one, is a spirit announcement that, in as many days as there were stones, an invitation will come to you which, in it's consequences, will be far reaching. The surrounding circum- stances of the dream will determine tc what or by whom you will be in- vited.
 Pebbles are glad thoughts. The more pebbles the more thoughts and the gladder. If you kick them with your feet, there will be dances. If you take them in your hand, you will hold the hand of one dear to you. If you find them in your pocket. they mean money obtained unexpectedly But now We come to the bad mean ings-feW to be sure-of dreams of stones and pebbles. To have a stone thrown at you is an omen ofA an insult. so deep you will not be able to forgive it. To be hurt by the missile, indicates illness. If a show CT of pebbles seems to strike ycu, it will be wise for you to keep away from certain people to whom you have not been over-kind; they are about to take their revenge for your lack of consideration.
 To stumble over a stone is sign that you will listen to the voice of the tempter. and if you fall, he will get the best of you. To bruise your foot or leg against stone is sign of bad news In respect to a love af- fair. In many cases, such dream means that your affection will be spurned.
