This was like the reopening of his daughter’s grave But he had entered upon the scene with a full appreciation of the ordeal await him and he did not lose his calm or the control of his judgment.

Ynxiety about her patient had regained its place in her mind, and her glance aped constantly toward the door. Taking her hand In Ids. ho said some kind words, then crossed to the door and opened It. Instantly her finger flew to her lip*. and, obedient to its silent injunction, he took I up his hat in silence, and was proceed- I ing down the hall when the bell rang. ' [startling them both and causing him to I step quickly back. “Who is It?” she asked. “Father’s In land visitors seldom come so late.” Shall 1 see?" She nodded, looking strangely troubled as the door swung open, revealing the tall, strong figure of a man facing them from the porch. 1 “A stranger.” formed itself upon her i lips, and she was moving forward, when • the man suddenly stepped into ,the glare of the light, and she stopped, with a murmur of dismay which pierced Mr Chailoner’s heart and prepared him for the words which now fell shudderlngly ’ from her lips: "It is he’ It is he! I said that 1 should know him wherever I saw him.” Then with a <piiet turn toward the intruder, “Oh, why. why did you come here!” “Do You Know My Brother?” Her hands wore thrust out to repel, her features were fixed; her- beauty something wonderful. Orlando Brotherson. thus | met. stared for a moment at the vision • before him, then slowly and with effort withdrawing his gaze, he sought the face of Mr < 'halloner with the first sign of •pen disturbance that gentleman hakl ever seen in him. “Ah, said he, ”my welcome is readily understood. 1 see you far from home, sir." And, with an ironical bow. he turned again to Doris, who had dropped her hands, but In whose cheeks the pallor still lingered in away to check the easy flow of words with which he might have sought to carry off the situation “Am I in Oswald Brotherson s house?” he asked. “D was directed here But possibly there may be some mistake.” “It is here he lives,” said she, moving back automaticallx till she stood again by the threshold of the small room in which she had received Mr. Challoner. “Do \ou w ish to see him tonight ? If so. I fear it Is impossible He has been very ill and is not allowed to receive visits from strangers" “I am not a stranger." announced the newcomer, with a smile few could see un moved, it offered such a contrast to his stern and dominating figure. “I thought I heard some words of recognition which would prove your knowledge of that fact.” She did not answer. Her lips had patted. but her^thought, or at least the expression of her thought, hung suspend ed in the terror of this meeting for which she was not nt all prepared. He seemed to note this terror, whether or not he understood its cause. and smiled again, as he added: "Mr. Brotherson must have spoken of his brother. Orlando. I am he. Miss Scott. Will you let me come tn now”" H*u eyes sought those of Mr. Challoner. who quietly nodded. Immediately she stepped from before the door which her figure had guarded, and. motioning him to enter, she begged Mr. Challoner. with an imploring look, to sustain her in the in terview she saw before her. He had no desire for this encounter, especially Mr. Brotherson’s glance in his direction had been anything but conciliatory. He was «pilte convinced that nothing was to l>e gained by if. but he could nnt resist her appeal, and followed them into the little room whose limited dimensions made the tall Orlando look bigger and stronger and mure lordly in his self confidence than ever. "I am sorry It Is so late.” she began, contemplating his intrusive figure with forced composure. ”We have to be very quiet In the evenings ro hr not to dis turb your brother’s first sleep, which is of great importance to him."

I made two very bad breaks in rapid succession. First I thought she was an American because we can claim all pretty ac tresses with strong English accent, and because she is so well known to Ameri can audiences. And then I thought her eyes were blue because she makes them up with blue paint, and they look blue. Rut I was soon set rie-ht on both points. "I'm tint American; I'm English with a strong streak of Irish." corrected Miss Bianex. "And. moreover, my eyes are brown and not blue." By this time I had completely wilted, and I threw the interview on her mercy, with a faint murmur that it be about "Beauty and het methods of preserving her health, and unite unusual amount of good looks.” You van sax that I like gardening and that I breed bulldogs." said Miss Blaney. But alas! This was not what I wanted, and I feared that the readers of this [taper would not al) be able to achieve fame, as well as beauty, by such means. My mind was still full of the delightful play that was going on downstairs, for "Ann" was prepa.r ing for the last act. After you have listened for an hour or so to Bernard Shaw/ it is almost impossible to get back to the commonplaces of physical culture, diet and the other means by which our famous beauties enhance their appearance and kindle the light of envy In the breast of all the other women. So I asked Miss Blaney to talk about "Ann," the superwoman, she of the life force and the delightful catty ways which Miss Blaney acts with such charm and skill. One of the most interesting things about this play Is the change in the audience. When it was first given, peo ple did not know whether they ought to laugh, and women resented the char acter of Ann, though they all knew in their heart of hearts that she is the woman who can bend even the strong est man to her will. Now they never miss a point. "ft does seem curious.” continued Miss Blaney, "that men will be com pletely taken in by a character like Ann, but when they see a sincere, frank, straightforward woman they at once believe that she. is a deep char acter planning all kinds of pitfalls. In deed. that she is a woman to beware of. “My sympathy is, of course, with the sincere, straightforward woman, but 1 must admit that the Ann type gets on better, and I believe that ever)’ woman in the audience realizes it and has a certain sympathy with Ann, and is glad that she always gets her way. Perhaps there is a little of Ann In every one of us.” laughed MiSs Blaney. "The redeeming feature about her is that she has a sense of humor.” Miss Blaney had taken off the pretty yellow automobile coat, the little hood xvith its big crimson rose, and was now wearing the frock of the last act. a Up-to-Date Jokes “How long did your honeymoon last?” "Until the first time I was late for supper, if I remember rightly." Jim—Nothing is better in time of danger than presence of mind. George—Oh. think it over. What about presence of body? Gertie—l tx ish you to know that I don't stand on trifles. Helen (glancing at her feel)No. dear; 1 see you don't. "Well, you got your husband to go to church with you instead of the theater, ch ?" "Y’es. but he disgraced me.

The coater and his beat girl were dis cussing local events one day recently. Said 'Arty; "Did you read the list of presents Ann Smith had for her wed din?” Arriet: "Yes, 1 did. The idea for such as them aving the weddin' put in the paper! They might be bloomin' tiaristocrats." Aery: Fancy iter mother giving her six h a andsome present as a 'orse and trap!"

For myself. I would like a full, wide petticoat and skirt, almost a crinoline in fact; something that es sentially expressed the really feminine, 1 love lace and al) beautiful materials, and lots of them. These ridiculous skimpy skirts are ugly and unbecom ing. as well as immodest. "You will notice’ that' since women began to discard • one petticoat after another and appear finally in the scan tiest of skirts they have lost a great deal of the outward respect and consid eration which used to be shown them in the days of fuller petticoats. "So I say let us get back to petti coats and gain once more the consider ation and respect which are no longer 'shown to women who wear the ridicu lous fashions of the day.” Do You Know- China possesses a coal field with an area of 21,000 square miles.

In Zaratanto, Spain, a case has oc curred which is probably unique of its kind. A child has just been born while his father, grandfather, great-grand father and great-great-grandfather are all living. His name is i'rriticoachea, and the family are Basque farm labor ers.

"Do you think. Miss Blaney, the typi cal ‘Ann’ woman, the man hunter, re grets the loss of her frilly petticoats?" "You may be quite sure that the Ann woman wears the latest and the most up-to-date things. She’s probably en veloped in the tightest skirt she can get, and on her it is another attrac tion." Miss Blaney had put the last touch to her frock and pinned a fascinating little cur! in place over her right ear, and was now ready for the stage. Her coiffure, by the way, is a most inter esting one. The front hair is parted and waved back naturally, the back hair is wound around the head in a tight swirl fitting the head closely and bringing out Its prettily modeled con tour. The curl is made of the end of the hair. "You haven’t told me a thing about health and beauty, Miss Blaney," I re monstrated as I left the dressing room. "Never mind; I really do nothing for my health. But if you can put in a plea for petticoats I should be glad. I think that's a much more important subject.” said Miss Blaney as I bade her good-bye. FOR HIS FAMILY’S SAFE. Paterfamilias was a very robust man, but lie called in the doctor. If the truth be told, Paterfamilias was so healthy, so big and so robust that he had grown into the habit of bullying his family. “I don't know what’s the matter with my family,” he remarked to the medico, "but my wife is nervous, my children are suffering from something—l don't know what. In fact, the whole house hold is upset. All the servants are bor dering on nervous prostration. What do you think about it?” The doctor was a friend of the fami ly, and knew a little of its history. "I think it would be all right," he said, "if you took a. six months tour of Europe—alone.” "Me?” replied the father rmgrammat- Ically. in his surprise. "Me?” ••Yes,” replied the doctor. “For the health of your family."

DAYSEY MAYME APPLETON and three of her friends started out one morning to spend the day shop ping together. “Now, xve want it understood.” said the Suffragette, “that each one pays her oxvn expenses. There is to be no treat ing.” When they passed through the ticket office, the Meek One was the only one who had change, and she paid the car fare. each one declaring she owed the Meek One a nickel. At the notion counter the Suffragette borrowed thirteen / cents of Daysey Mayme to pay for a writing pad on which to note down Reasons Why, and the Frivolous One borrowed two cents of the Meek One. and eleven cents from Daysey Mayme to buy a box of pink powder, all of which borrowing was done to avoid the long wait for change. At the luncheon hour, Daysey Mayme traded her fifteen-cent pudding for the Frivolous One’s ten-cent ice cream, and the Suffragette found, by borrowing twe cents from Daysey Mayme and a penny from the Frivolous One, that she had change to pay the Meek One for her share of the first carfare. During the day it was necessary to pay three additional carfares, and the Suffragette was the banker on the first occasion, and Daysey Mayme, the Friv olous One and the Meek One unitea their resources to pay the remaining fares. There were two visits to soda foun tains. which resulted in Daysey Mayme owing the Frivolous One seven cents more, the Meek One two cents less, and increased the debt of the Suffragette to her to thirty-seven cents. "If you count the stamp I paid the Frivolous One which you owed her, and the difference in the cost of the des sert at lunch.” said Daysey Mayme "and the nineteen cents I borrowed from you at the corset counter, and your lemon ice 1 paid for; was that ten cents, or fifteen? why I will owe you —no, you owe me—no, we don’t owe each other anything: that is. we both owe the Meek One and the FTlvolous One, but you don’t owe me as much as I oxve them, and they owe you more.
