Island and swept through New England in late September. Hundreds
lost their lives and property damage ran into the millions. Vivid testi

to strike the eastern seaboard in many years, necessitating widespread
relief activities by the government and Red Cross. Earlier, floods hit

HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELFI
“The Face at the Window”
Hello everybody:
You know, boys and girls, that ornery old dame, Old
Lady Adventure, is seldom a welcome guest in anybody’s house.
When she goes out calling she has to crash the gate, for doggone
few people ever send her engraved invitations. But she gets in
just the same, and because she comes uninvited and unan
nounced, she takes you by surprise. And I don’t think the old
girl was ever more unwelcome or more unexpected than on the
night she picked to drop in on Mae Towers—Mrs. John J. Towers,
that is—of Bay Park, L. I.
That was in 1918, when Mae and her husband and her kids lived in
an apartment in New York city. And of all times, the old gal with the
thrill bag had to pick December 24—Christmas Eve—to do her calling.
No one ever expected callers less than Mae Towers did that evening.
Her husband worked nights and Mae wasn’t expecting him home until
morning. Her two young children were in bed, and she was all alone.
Busy, too. What mother of young children isn’t busy on Christmas Eve?
“It was our custom,” she says, “to keep all the toys and presents con
cealed until Christmas morning when Santa Claus was the one who re
ceived all the glory for having brought them. The tree wasn’t set up and
trimmed until after the children had gone to bed.” And what with trim
ming that tree and putting the presents around it, Mae had enough to do
without bothering with callers.
Especially callers like Old Lady Adventure.
Turn All Lights On in Apartment.
It was along about eleven o’clock and Mae was just putting
the finishing touches on the tree when she heard a noise. It was
a peculiar sound, and it startled her for a moment. “It seemed
to come from an animal in pain,” she says. “It was more of a
gurgle than a groan, and I couldn’t conceive of any human being
making such a sound. My first thought was of my babies and I
hurried to the room where they lay. They were sleeping soundly.
Then I walked out through the apartment putting on all the
lights as I passed through each room.”
Mae went right through to the kitchen, but there wasn’t a sound of
any description and she began to think the stillness of the hour was af
fecting her nerves. The house was a ten-family apartment, and she knew
most of the neighbors. She felt pretty sure they’d all be in bed by this
time. “I went back to playing Santa Claus again,” she says, “and tried
to forget about it. Then it occurred to me that there was a new tenant
in the apartment right next to ours. They might possibly have a dog
»r a cat.”
Then, just as Mae was consoling herself and telling herself
she had solved the mystery of that sound, it came again. And
this time she stood petrified, for it sounded as if someone was
gasping her name. “I had my back turned toward the door of the
front hall, and there was a glass panel in the upper section. I
turned around slowly, and there, in the middle of that panel was a
face pressed flat against the glass. And once again came that
horrible sound!
She Could Distinguish Her Name Very Clearly.
“I tried so hard to call out, but the words just wouldn’t come. The
knob of the door turned slowly, and when the door wouldn’t give, two
hands were spread over the glass, slapping it and slamming it. Again
came that strange gurgling sound, and this time I could distinguish my
name very clearly. Then, all of a sudden I began to feel ashamed of
myself. One of my neighbors might be in trouble and I was standing
there stiff with fear instead of going to the rescue. Gathering up my
courage I asked who it was. I was doubly surprised when the answer
came. It was my new neighbor next door.”
Mae ran over and opened the door, and she says she’ll never
forget the sight she saw there. It was her neighbor all right—a
beautiful woman with great brown eyes and dark, curly hair.
But on that fine face there was a twisted, maniacal expression.
Her right eye seemed to be dilated to twice its normal size and
her mouth was drawn away down to one side. The mouth was
drooling, and her eyes were moist. She was in nightclothes, and
her hair hung loose in wild disorder. “Quick, come with me,”
she said. “The Devil is in my bed.”
“My first impulse,” Mae says, “was to scream. Then I remembered
something I had once read—that the best thing to do in a case like this
was to humor the patient, for I knew by this time that the woman was
stark mad. I did all I could to comfort her and told her I would imme
diately destroy the Devil.”
The Devil Turns Out to Be Her Husband.
Mae took her by the hand and let the poor woman lead her
back into the apartment. She made some remark about how cold
it was—but it really wasn’t cold. Mae made that remark so the
mad woman wouldn’t notice that she was shaking with terror.
As they reached the bedroom the woman screamed, “There he is,”
and pointed to the bed. “And who was there,” says Mae, “but
her husband.”
The woman’s husband woke up at the sound of the scream. He was
as frightened as Mae was, but Mae saved the day. She signalled to him
with her eye, and then proceeded to put on a fine act of chasing the
Devil away by beating on the bedclothes.
The husband slipped out of the room and phoned the police—
and meanwhile, Mae kept her occupied by beating away at those
bedclothes. “She was like a child in her gratitude to me,” Mae
says, “until the police arrived and she saw the uniforms. She
wasn’t so crazy that she couldn’t sense the fact that they had come
to take her away. Nor too crazy to outwit them. Immediately
she disrobed and dared them to come in her room.”
But once again Mae came to the rescue. She persuaded the poor
woman to dress, telling her they would both go down to the police sta
tion and prefer charges against those cops. The woman did as she
suggested, and they took her away quietly.
“She is still in the hospital,” says Mae, “an incurable case. And
many times I have been grateful that this poor soul didn’t mistake me
for the Devil’s wife.”
But I’ll bet a quick thinker like Mae would have found away
out of that, too.

Atlanta Had Other Names
In 1821 the land which was the
site of the founding of Atlanta was
ceded by the Creek Indians to the
state. The first cabin was built in
1833 and in 1836 engineers drove
the stake which was to mark the
end of the proposed state railroad.
For that reason the town's first
name was Terminus. In 1843 the
name was changed to Marthasville
in honor of the daughter of Gover
nor Lumpkin. In 1847 it was incor
porated as a city with the name of
Atlanta, probably suggested by the
railroad which was called the West
ern & Atlantic. It was made the
capital of the state in 1868.
Cockroach Old-Timer
The lowly cockroach has existed
in its present form a long time.
There are four different types of
cockroach—the Croton bug, first
found in New York; the proper cock
roach of the East; the American
cockroach, which probably came
from tropical America, and the Aus
tralian cockroach, which is much
like the large, reddish-brown Amer
ican cockroach except that it is a
trifle smaller. There are said to be
225 fossil species of the pest.
Early Lecturers’ Fees
Louis J. Alber says in the Com
mentator: “In 1831 Ralph Waldo
Emerson wrote: ‘I am willing to
come to Waltham on the date you
suggest and lecture to your Lyceum
for the $5 fee you offer, but I think
you should also give me four quarts
of oats for my horse.’ Daniel Web
ster was the first lecturer to receive
a fee of $100; Abraham Lincoln lec
tured at Cooper Union for S2OO, and
in 1880 Henry Ward Beecher was
paid the first known fee of SI,OOO.
After finding Livingstone in Africa,
Henry M. Stanley received SIOO,OOO
and all expenses for a hundred lec
tures.”
Use of Bookplates
The earliest known examples of
bookplates are German. According
to one authority, the oldest movable
ex-libris are certain woodcuts rep
resenting a shield of arms support
ed by an angel which were pasted in
books presented to the Carthusian
Monastery of Buxheim by Brother
Hildebrand Brandenburg of Biber
ach, about the year 1480. The earli
est known American example is the
plain printed label of John Cotton,
1674.
