WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
CUPID'S LITTLE BLUE MANTLE
BY EMILE ZOLA.

emile Zola French writer was born in
housh a at sn times tragic stories s have been
widely popular. He died from accidental
asphyxiation.)
The beautiful girl with auburn hair
was born on a December morning as
the pure, white snow was softly fall
ing. In the air at the time of her
birth there were signs and omens
forecasting that this damsel was to
perform a mission of love and charity
in the world. The dawn of the sun
threw a pink light over the snow, and
there seemed to pass over the blanket
ed roofs a perfume of lilac and songs
of birds, as though it were Spring.
Although she was born in a lowly
hovel, this but taught her ,humility,
for she was to grow up with wealth
that was to do much for the spread of
JOY and happiness in the world. Per
haps this humble birth helped her to
prize first of all the riches of the hu-
man heart She was to love all hu
manity, having arms that were 1.-the
and strong enough to embrace the
whole world
She was a tall,- well-develeped girl.
She had black eyes and ruby red lips.
Her cheeks were a dull. pale tint, and
covered with slight down, which
gave them the appearance of white
velvet. Her body was graceful with
the full strength of ruddy health.
AS she grew up she began to attire
herself in silks and laces, as part of
her mission to go as a bright angel
among the suffering of mankind and
give them joy. Her white teeth now
and then heightened the pinky white
ness of her cheeks into rosiness: if she
wore necklaces of pearls about her
neck it was but to enhance the purity
of its swanlike whiteness and make
her the more like an angel of love.
1t was nice to meet her in these
days on the footpaths of a bright May
morning. Her heart and CHEEKY lips
were at the service of all who came
forward, to brighten the day as moth
ing else could do. If she found beg
gar in ditch. she smiled at him. ques-
toned him with sympathy, gave him
alms-and the poor wretch's pains
were relieved.
Thus it was that all the poor of the
parish knew her. They thronged to
her door knowing that she would help
them. She came among them morn
ing and night. like a charitable sister,
dividing her treasures and her tender
ness among them, giving each his fair
share
She was as good and as sweet as
white bread. The poor of the parish
nicknamed her Cupid's Little Blue
Mantle.
Now it happened that n terrible epi-
demic of a dread disease came upon
the land and ravaged 1t. All the
Young men. especially, were attacked
by it, and many died from 1t. The
symptoms of the scourge were ter
rifying-it was an awful calamity.
The beautiful child with the auburn
hair now showed herself to advantage.
| She established ambulances, and
nursed the sick day and night, gently
dressing thsir wounds and thanking

Heaven for the great task of love that
had been set for her to perform.
She was more than providence to
the young men. She saved large
number of them from death. Those
whose hearts-for it was the heart
that the plague seemed most to at
tack-she could not heal were those
who were, in manner of speaking,
already without heart.
Her treatment was simplicity itself
She gave of her tender smiles, her
| sympathetic words her loving hands
her warm breath of life and love- She
never asked for any payment She
| ruined herself with light heart, dis
| tributing charity until the effort
sapped her strength as well as her
wealth.
| Old ones of the time wagged their
| heads at this prodiGalty, even though
| for charity. 'She will die on straw
pallet" they said among themselves.
"she who now gives away her very
hearts blood without ever weighing
the drops
And indeed, one day when she was
| searching in her treasure chest she
found it empty. Her heart. too, seem
ed empty. She shuddered in terror,
| for she had barely few pennies and
| a corresponding amount of tenderness
left.
The girl was beside herself She
did not give a thought to the i'm
mense fortune she had 50 careleSsly
squandered. But she felt in great
need of charity herself, and that in
creased her terror.
She. had found it so sweet to go
| among the suffering. bringing heal
! ing and sunshine and cheeriness and
l
! loving-that was what she needed for
complete happiness. Now she had to
stand in the shade, to await. in her
turn, the charity which might never
come her way.
| For a moment she lad really SEN
! sible thought. She would save the
few pennies yet remaining to her, and
she would cherish the capacity for
tenderness and love that still remain
ed in her heart. For if she spent
these, also--squandered them in an
excess of spontaneous giving she
would be but an empty huslS of a
woman. no longer a girl, no longer
| beautiful. no longer full of the zest
and joy of life.
Or she might spend her pennies
and her tenderness very wisely, very
prudently. Still, that would not help
very much the great loneliness that
now began to steal upon her. How
could she get the warmth of human
/ sympathy and love unless she offered
that commodity itself for it III ex-
| change?
! She walked along the pathways as
of old. but the bubbling over of spirits
that had had too much energy was
now gone. Her poverty was written
large across her wan face and dulling
1 eyes.
| Then 1t was that she met young
! man who sat lost in an absorption of
idleness and Indifference. His heart
was evidently whitening away from

How many times we have heard
that craftsmanship is personality. plus?
Th-s is amply demonstrated daily in
shops and stores. particularly during
the Christmas season. The mere abili-
ty to show wares is not indicative Of
craftsmanship. Neither do clothes
make the salesman. The wise-crack-
or or 'high-pressure" boy is dud
when it comes to dealing with the
average customer.
Without ever having received a
technical lesson in the art of selling.
we should say offhand tat tact is
the pre-eminent essential. Men are
VIGOROUSLY poor customers, but they
are quick to react to impressions. 1t
is almost pathetic to see lone male
wandering through the labyrinth of
the modern store in search of some
thing for the wife or kiddies

an experience he had the other day
when he visited n small shop to pur-
chase a pair of gloves. lie had scarce

prietOr dashed toward him. greeting
him effuSively. After a violent hand
shaking, the owner inquired what the

the owner led him to clerk and said
| This is Mr.. and what is your
name? | want YOU to take unusual
care of Mr. and show him the
hest stock we have. You might get
that special stuff out we keep for only
certain customers. and before you
give him a price, let me see it and I'll
make him special price. l only do
this for our very special customers. A
special price TO special customers"
The clerk smilingly obeyed and eX-
tracted n special display of gloves
which apparently pleased the custom

constantly reiterating the special at
tention he wanted to show the special
customer.
The gloves were purchased and this
was followed by another series of viO-
lent handshakes. The gloves were
good gloves and the price reasonable.
but the buyer says he is ''off the store
for life" He doesn't crave so much
special attention.
