The Judge strode toward him. "Well, how’d she strike you?” <• asked “An awful blow.' said Broadway brusquely. "What? An awful blow?' "No," Broadway- went on in profuse explanation. "I didn’t say an awful blow'. I said awful blue, awfully blue.” "You're awfully blue?” asked the Judge. "Wrong again." was the answer. "1 i mean her eyes are awfully blue the bluest eyes 1 ever saw." Broadway stared before him. a glum ■ expression on his face He appeared in deed as if "an awful blow" had been struck upon him. one that might upset his ordinary viewpoint He was in a mood so deep that he was 1 no longer conscious of the Judge.

"It was just the natural thing for me o go on the stage," said Miss Blanche, a little more confidentially. “When 1 was six years old, ever,, I used to give imitations of everybody, and people used to ask for my services at fairs and bazaars and things like that.

Miss Blanche’s is an up-to-date per son. who looks to be her daughter's elder sister, who manages daughters career, and looks after daughter’s health with the commanding efficiency which is the watchword of the progres sive modern woman. So while Miss Blanche answered my question she kept one eye on her charming mother, and Mrs. Blanche nodded approval as her daughter said: Essential to Health. “I think tlie most essential thing to health is plenty of sleep and fresh air. I never have a cold or throat trouble of any kind, for the good reason that 1 never stay in places wnere the ventila tion is bad, and do not spend hours in smoky restaurants, for instance. Noth 'ng could be worse for the voice than remaining for a long time In places where the air is vitiated and full of to bacco smoke, and you know the voice is a sort of register of health. “Another reason why I never have a cold Is because I don’t wear high col lars. Year in and year out I wear Dutch necks or low turndown collars on m\ frocks, and my throat and neck I ar< hardened so that the change of at mosphere doesn’t affect me.

The story was to be about the experience of a gjrl friendless and alone and penniless in this great city. It wound up by telling how she got shelter at a fine place for girls, where a kind-faced matron showed her to a beautiful room.” “What about it?” asked the Head Barber, who had just lost two dollars matching quarters with a customer worth half a million dollars. "You don’t need to be grouchy. George,’’ said the Manicure Lady. “I was .lust thinking how beautiful it must be to be a friendless girl and get such a nice place to go to. Thank goodness we are through with all of them Dark Ages, where there was so much dark ness." “You are having one of your daffy streaks," said the Head Barber, bluntly. "How many times have I told you that you mustn’t believe everything you read In the papers? It’s a cinch that the young lady reporter walked around and down Fifth avenue with her head and eyes to the front, the way she told about in the paper, but I’d like to make a nice little bet that the matron at the beautiful home for girls knew who she was.
