At a first night performance in Neie York, a beautiful young woman attracts attention by rising and leisurely surveying the audi ence through her glasses. Claver ing, a newspaper columnist, and his cousin, Dinwiddie, are particu larly interested, Dinwiddie declar ing that she is the image of Mary Ogden, a belle of thirty years ago, uho had married a Count Zattiany and lived abroad. He is convinced that this is Mary's daughter, but all efforts to establish her identity prove futile. Clavering, determined to find out who she is, follows her home from the theatre one night. Luck is with him, for she has forgotten her keys and he helps her get into the house. She asks him in and final ly tells him she is the Countess Josef Zattiany, a cousin of Mary Ogden’s; that she had married a relative of Mary’s husband; that Mary is ill in a sanitarium in Vi enna. She asks him to join a small dinner party at her home the next night. Besides himself, the guests ace Dinwiddie, a My. Os borne and Judge Trent, Mary Og den's attorney, t IX (continued) "I am delighted that Madame Zattiany has decided to come out of her shell at last,” said Judge Trent, shaking vigorously. “I've been jurging It for some time. But she has had a long and harrowing experience, and seemed to want only to rest. I think the stir she made at your first-nights, Claver ing, had something to do with it. There was a time, you know, when she never appeared without mak ing a sensation —like poor Mary before her —but young as she is all that seems almost too remote to recall. Os course if she had been able to live In London or Paris after the war it would have been different, but she was stuck in Buda Pesth and Vicnnat-ah!” Madame Zattiany had entered the room.* She wore pale greriu, chiffon with floating sleeves that left her arms bare. In the subdued light she looked like a girl playing at Undine. Clavering heard Dinwiddie give a sharp hiss. “Gad!

Nile-green was her favorite color." She greeted the Judge and Clav ering with her slight flickering smile and then turned to the other two men. "This must be Mr. Osborne, as Judge Trent pointed out Mr. Din widdle to me one day on Fifth Ave nue. It was kind of you both to come in this informal manner. I appreciate it very much.” Her manner was a little like that of a princess giving audience, Ciav ering reflected, a manner enhanced by her slight accent and profound repose, the negligent lifting of her hand to be kissed; and as she stood graciously accepting their expressions of unhoped for felicity she looked lees American, more European, than ever. But Claver ing wondered for the first time it that perfect repose were merely the expression of a profound indif ference, almost apathy . . . but no, she was too young tor that, however the war may have seared her; and she was smiling spon taneously, there .was a genuine note of pleasure In her voice as she turned to him. "It was more than kind of you to watch my house until the po liceman came," she said on a lower key. “I was really alarmed when I remembered that broken window and all those dreadful stories in the newspapers. But you kept watch beneath my windows like a preux chevalier and 1 felt safe." "I felt rather a fool if the truth be told." Her eyes had a curious exploring look and Clavering felt unaccountably Irritated, in sp”e of all that her words Implied, i d have done the same if you had been old and withered.

Myself, I have always lliked them.” The smile rose to [her wise penetrating and IClavering colored like a schoolboy. Then it faded and her face looked < suddenly rigid. “I wonder,” she , imuttered, then turned her back abruptly. "You must not forget 'your eocktail. And dinner has been announced.” Mr. Dinwiddie made a pretext of sipping his cocktail as the three raised their glasses simultaneous |ly to their hostess. She had de clined to join them, with a little grimace. "Perhaps In time I may become American enough to like .your strange concoctions, but so far I think cocktails have a really horrid taste. Shall we go in?” The Judge offered his arm with the formal gallant air he could as sume at will and the other men followed at a discreet distance: (her shimmering gown had a long ; tail. Mr. Dinwiddle’s eyes seemed < to bore Into that graceful swaying back, but he was not the man to discuss his hostess until he had left her house, and Clavering could only wonder what conclusions were forming in that avid cynical j old brain. The dining-room, long and nar- 1 row, was at the back of the hall 1 and extended along the entire width of the large house. Like the hall, it was panelled and dark, an imposing room hung with family i portraits. A small table at the end i looked like a fairy oasis, it glit- < tered and gleamed and the flowers 1 were mauve, matching the tall wand-like candles. i “I do hope, Madame Zattiany,” said Mr. Osborne, as he took a seat : at her left, “that you won't sue- 1 cumb to the prevailing mania for | white, and paint out this beautiful > old walnut. Too many of our houses look entirely too sanitary. < One feels as if he were about to be < shown up to a ward, to be received by a hospital nurse with a warning ( not to speak too loud.” There was i no chill formality in his mien as he < bent over his young and beautiful j hostess. * ; "Ah, you forget this is Countess ] Zattiany’s house." she said, smll- , Ing. "But 1 will admit that if it , were mine I should make few changes. White was quite a la mode in London long before the war, but, myself, I never liked It." Judge. Trent sat opposite his hostess at the round table.* She had placed Mr. Dinwiddle and Mr. Osborne on either side of her, smiling at Clavering. "I am sorry I do not know any young ladies," she said graciously, although there was a twinkle in her eye. "You look rather lonesome." "Why should he?" growjed Din widdie. “He is young and you are young. The rest of us are the ones to feel out of it." “Not a bit of it! Not a bit of it!” exclaimed Judge Trent. "You forget that Madame Zattiany has lived in Europe since infancy. She s talked to elderly statesmen all her life.” “Well, we're not statesmen, the Lord knows.” could al ways be relled*on to make the ob vious retort, thought Clavering, al though it must be admitted that he ' was seldom with, none at all. “But I you must, have seen more young I men than old during the war, | Madame Zattiany. I understand I that Mary turned her palace In I Buda Pcsth into a hospital and that you were her chief assistant." "That is quite true, and I had by no means confined myself before that to elderly statesmen; but I had almost forgotten what a young man on his feet looked like before the war finished.

Y. Oct. 18.— You’ll never get rich by saving. So says William J. Weisener, Queens N. Y. nreman, who retired from service the other day worth more than $200,0000. Yet he never received a salary of more than $5 a week. And when he began he received just sls weekly I But Wiesener didn’t get that way by taking $2 out of his week ly envelope and poking it through the wicket at a courteous bank clerk. No, ma'am! When he wasn’t rescuing lovely blondes from burn ing third story windows and carry ing kittens down from telegraph poles, he was putting in time turn ing over little odd jobs of real es tate. That’s the reason that in addition to the SI2BO yearly pension which he will draw hereafter for his 20 years of service in the fire depart ment, he will have an annual in come of s9'ooo from his $200,000 investments. He owns a 23-family apartment dwelling. numerous small houses and 350 lots. The neighbors in this little town where 'he lives say they wouldn’t be surprised if in another five years Bill turned out to be a millionaire, Right now he’s only 45. I went over to call on Bill to ask him what he intended doing with all that money. Bill himself came out on the norch to greet me. had on a blue sweater and I could see he was getting a little bald. ‘‘l suppose,” I said, “that you’re going to do quite a little fixin’ up with that $200,000?” “Not at all,” said Bill. We’ve been livin’ the same way for 20 years and we don’t intend to change now. Hey, Kate, put in another pork chop! There’s company come to dinner.” Here, according to Bill, was the way it happened; He’d always wanted a little place in the country with chickens and so on, and one day, 20 years ago, he sold out his grocery store, paid up his debts, pocketed the S2OO that remained and started looking around. The place, when he found it, con sisted of four-and-a-half acres and two houses qnd the owner wanted $5500 for it. Bill borrowed the money somehow, got a job in the fire department, moved into one of the houses and the next month sold the Other house at SSOO profit. He’s been selling things at pront ever since. Along about 1916 Bill got an idea that there weren’t enough three and four-room apart ments for young married people and old couples. All the bankers laughed at him, so Bill had to go out of town to get the money. But Di.-> dav those apartments were finished there were 50 families on the waiting list. "I sunno-e ” I said to Bill, “that if yon don’t intend to move into a new house or anything, maybe voull put your money in a swell ti(A” motor car." "None.” said Bill. “Same old bus 1915 model.’’ "Well. then. I suppose you have! some iwetty swell times?” “Well ” said Bill. “I go fishing quite a bit an] then sometimes A Plea For 7he Piano Family Moths are more than usually de structive this year and the fine felt piano parts are often found to be badly damaged.
