The “Woman’s Court,” inaugurated
in Chicago, has proved a great suc
cess. Convinced that there were many
cases in which a woman would prove
a better arbitrator with her own sex
than a mere man. Judge Pinckney ap
pointed Miss Mary Bartelme to take
over all essentially feminine oases.
She has proved most successful in
dealing with wayward girls, or those
“who never had a chance.” No men
are admitted to “Judge” Bartelme’s
court when cases of this class are
being dealt with, the probation offi
cers. court bailiffs, (Jerk and official
stenographers and reporters being all
women.

DON’T SPEAK TO HIM AGAIN.
T ) AH .MISS FAIRFAX:

summer 1 met a man six years my
senior whom I have learned to
love dearly, and know that my
lo\’e is reciprocated. My father
was opposed to him, and insulted
him, which he took like a man.
and I was forbidden to speak to
him. 1 had not spoken to him for
about three weeks, and one day I
met him. Breaking my father’s
command. I spoke to him, and
found we love each other dearly.
1 speak to a number of other men.
but 1 find that I couldn't love any

You are only 16 and your fath m

T am IS and about three
months ago met a young man who
called on me frequently, and 1
thought he cared for me. One
evening he made an appointment
but never came. On the follow
ing day he sent word he had gone
on a distant business trip for an
indefinite stay. 1 found his so-
called “trip” Wip a falsehood. He
did not offer an apology, hut said
he would tell me some time later.
He saw me hone that evening
and made another appointment,
but when the time <ame he .sent
a note saying hi could not coon*
and offered a fairly good exeus*.
He made another appointment for
a Week later, hut he never came.
In spite of all. 1 love him still.
HEARTBROKEN
If .sou permit this men to m.;ke an

deserve the neglectful treatment you

Ail Atlanta Man'Tells It
Some Missing.
Bulkins’ was very pious. very fond of
th*- ladies and very bald on the back of
his head. The other evening he was
calling en a girl, and was giving her
(•■'nsiderable church talk.
• Ah. Miss Mary,” he said, “we are
watched over very carefully. Even the
hairs of our heads, are numbered.”
“Yen, Mr. Bulkins." she replied, "but
wouie < r i l:e bin ! numbers of yours ap
pear to be missing!'
“A lover sees his sweetheart in ev
erything he loks at, Just as a man
bitten by u mad deg. sees dogs in his
meat, dogs in bis drink, dogs all around
him." George Denison .Prentice.
A man and young women in his
office recently had this experi
ence.
“What,” he called to a young
man. “is the address of the firm to
which you made that consignment this
morning?”
The young man looked up absently •
from his work and said dreamily, “Mad- I
eline, Madeline Grey.”
To a girl stenographer later, the em- J
plover put this question. "Have you j
finished the first bunch of letters?” Site ;
looked a little startled as she replied. !
”1 didn't know you wanted to know
him. His name is Paul, and he is a
civil engineer.”
Wh} Do They Day Dream?
In both instances the employer made j
Kome comment about the world going i
rqad, and he would be glad when this i
falling in love had gone out of fash- j
ion. “Why,” he complained to me later, j
If l give a young man a valuable blu<
print to study, I have to watch him like !
a f hawk to keep him front, covering it i
with drawings of* a girl’s face, and I I
hifVen’t a girl Working for me who |
hears the first time she is addressed i
Hke s away .iff In some dream boat <
with George or Bill or John.”
It is the omniscience of love. -It is a
sweet ln?anity that calls for renewed
vigilance from those who are sane to
keep the prosaic affairs of the world
moving In their right grooves.
This employer grumbled, but he also
laughed, and a grumble with a laugh
underneath indicates a sympathy which
!:i but poorly concealed. He knew what
it was from experience f hope we all
do. To have seen one's sweetheurt all
around one has a most broadening ef
fect on the sympathies. It also makes
us charitable when suffering tin* annoy
mice that this love madness in others
causes
The girl in the kitchen fills the sugar
howl with ralt; the girl on the ear going
ti work rides ten blocks beyond her des-
ratinn and is lute; the girl with no
greater duties than presiding at pink
tea tables sees only with the outer eyes
the guests she is addressing. From the
humblest walk to the highest everything
is awry, misplaced, lost or forgotten, be
cause those who love see the object of
their love in ail around them.
The value of concentration is un
known; the necessity of putting one's
thought on the nearest duty and 1 keep
ing at a safe distance all temptation to
let the mind wander, has no place in
the consciousness of those who are in
love.
Of Course Not!
A young girl writes to ask if she is
to be blamed because she thinks so much
of her lover she can't keep her mind
on her work. Bless her. no! The blame
Is not hers. It goes away back to the
one who invented loving.
On the shoulders of that great human
itarian there rests the blame of ail the
sweet folly that begins with the day
! when a man and woman discover they
• arc in love, and ends when their dream
I boat bumps hard on the shore of that
| barren-looking Island called Matrimony.
The bump will come soon enough. It
will also be hard enough. It will come
soon enough and hard enough to suit
tlie most unsympathetic and unroman -
tic.
And so I say to tins litle girl, Go on
dreaming that you see your lover in all
around you. It is your privilege and
your right.
Both Made Mistakes.
THERE] hue been many innocent mis-
* takes made by parsons. Among
them is oe told of a certain clergyman
who left a notice in his pulpit to be
read by the preacher who exchanged
with him. The minister neglected to
denote carefully a private postscript,
and the people were astonished to hear
the stranger end by saying:
“You will please come to dine with
me at the parsonage after service ”
Another amusing story is told of a
minister The reverend gentleman was
inclined to be absent-minded, and while*
walking one hr” met a young lady
whose face seemed familiar to him.
Taking her to be one of his parishion
ers' daughters, and not wishing to pass
her without notice, lie stepped forward
and cordially shaking her hands, en
tered into conversation. After com
paring notes about the weather, he had
at last to confess:
“l know* your face quite well, but -
where have I seen you before?”
”Oh, please, sir, 1 am your new parlor
maid,” was the reply.
Talks With the
Unkno
wn
Nora, the
Cook
By LILIAN LAUFERTY.
P RETTY, red-haired Irish Nora had
been the presiding deity •'*. our
kitchen for three years, and 1 had
always prided myself on the kindly,
friendly spirit—entirely free from con
descension- I had shown toward her
But I have recently learned a little
maxim, to wit: When you feel pleased
v l ourself for the charming domo-
apirlt you are showing toward
f >ne, you are probably treating
that individual in a sufficiently Lady
Clara Vere DeVere, Haughty Beauty
manner to make the word ’ Ister” slink
in shame right nut of the English lan
guage.
Nora, as an Individual, Introduced
herself to me in this wise: “Do you
think your mother would he willing to
get another veg«tjable man and let Mr.
Hobbs go?”
‘‘YV^iy do you ask that. Nora?”
Too Much the Gentleman.
"Just as a favor to me. Miss. You
see it’s this way: Mr. Hobbs keeps
a-comin’ to see me: I have asked him
not agin and agin, and layt evening
he asked me to Inurry him. an' I said
no, so I think it would be best to get
a new vegetable man.”
I was inclined to treat the matter
facetiously; it was only an affair of the
cook's. “Do you think he will revenge
himself by giving us inferior vegeta
bles in future. Nora?”
“Oh, no, Miss lie is far too much the
gentleman for that! You see that Is
where the trouble lies; he is too much
the gentleman.”
ou see he owns his own vege
table farm and lias a high school edu
cation and his folks stand well in the
community. Now, how would it do for
him to marry a servant girl? He does
not belong to my world, Miss; I don’t
belong to his class, and as 1 don’t
hold with such marriages, and there
ain't much happiness in them, ah’ he
will probably go tryin* to make love to
me, I just thought maybe your mother
would fix things ho I won't be tempted
to do what would never come out well
for any of us both.”
L considered Nora as a girl like my
self. Suppose you consider her, too,
little sisters, in your home nests. Think
her over as a girl—a real girl—not
merely as a cook, and a representative
of the servant class.
Chance To Rise.
Suppose a man of a class that had
more of education, more of refinement
snd more of social position than your
own, suppose such a man asked you
to marry him. Suppose lie offered you
r haven of refuge -money, protection
and freedom from work.. AVould you
“hold with such a marriage?” I think
so. And though ymt might Consider
the question of romantic love, f doubt
very' much if you would ever stop to j
weigh the vast question of suitability. :
Most of us modest little feminine per
sons think that, given a position, we
can fill it—and so. given a chance to
rise in the world, we GRAB!
Nora’s idea is different and very sim
ple once you grasp all its modest sub
tlety. She is actually proud of; being
a servant; proud that she can earn an
honest living by her own efforts; proud
that out of her $6 a week she cah save
enough to send the little mother in
Ireland $5 each month: proud that she
could bring her younger sister over and
fit Annie out so “she wouldn’t look such
a greenhorn that no one would be want
ing her except to tind the extreme back
door.”
In her own world Nora lias many
friends. She works hard and plays with
gusto, and is quite sure that God called
her to a certain place in the world, so
why not fill that place to the best of
j her ability, in Mead of trying to leap
| two nr throe rings of a social ladder
Mo i place she might be erHrely un-
iable to fill when she got mere.' That is
Norn . philosophy.
Ambition and Avarice.
| “Now. don’t think thu. I have no am
bition at all, Miss, f just wouF like
j to go on slow' and sure in this world
ami when I am going to go anywhere
make sure first that 1 can stay put
after f arrive.”
-Now me brogue. I’ve almost losht
tliot, ye’ll be afther noticin’, please.
Miss, dear.”
1 laughed. It was fresh, but refresh
ing, and Nora had been proving herself
a girl w’hn knew her place.
”1 \e tried other things besides being
a servant. I could just live along
on the dollar and a quarter a day I
could make as a seamstress. Working
up in that to where T could support
myself and do a little for my folks was
t< o slow, for what I seemed to work up
most of all was an appetite. And I
could not live on what I could buy. So
1 t"ok a place and tried to learn mani
curing the while, i wasn’t the kind for
a. shop n >i bright enough in the way a
manicure girl has to he. I seemed lost
somehow, and here I am found; so here
I stay in the class I belong. And maybe
I’ll get married, but I’ll marry a man
who will be having just as much ad
vantage havin’ Nora Doyle for a wife
as she is goin* to get out of being his
missis.
”1 don’t hold with avariciousness
either, Miss, and though I’m going to
carry myself as far as 1 can I’m not
for pullin' for some one else or shovin'
on my o,wn part.”
Do You Enjoy Life?
“But you are young like me. Nora.
Don't you want to enjoy life? Don’t
you ever want a good time?”
“Indeed I do, Miss, and 1 have it.
Please don't think I'm fresh to say it,
but sometimes I think 1 have more fun
than you and your friends. I can go to
a dance in a white shirt waist and en
joy it fine; if I haven't got a fellow to
take me, I can go about by mesllf and
have a good time without any one say
ing a word against me. And oh, Miss,
dear, If you only knew what fun It Is
to have no worries about my own way,
working all I can, and havin’ all the
fun I have time for. and there’s no one
I envy or who envies me—so now w’hat
more should 1 be after wantin’?”
Pretty red-haired Irish Nora—I think
you have just missed the great secret
after all.
“A hair, perhaps, divides the false and
the true.”
“And upon what, prithee, does your
life depend?”
Catherine, the chambermaid, who was
ashamed of her work, and who dared
not let her friends know the nature of
'batt! toil lest they t'fist "her aside in
scorn—Catherine had no olew’ to The Se
cret; of that I am sure. And Nora,
for all her w’holesome self-respect,
misses The Secret Man's” in her calm
acceptance of the probable verdict of
the “Vegetable Man’s” world. There is
a middle ground, little sisters, between
"avariciousness” and ambition—there
is a fair chance for us all to win the
respect of a world that may be socially
above us, but is never above us if we
can pronounce the "Open Sesame” of in
telligent, earnest striving forward and
upwmrd.
True Sense of Value.
Somewhere among my sisters of toil
there is a girl who does her work well,
who is proud of the doing, and who has
the fearless democracy that will enable
her to rise to the place where the in
terviewer who conies after me will talk
to her and not report that chat as an
“Interview With an Unknown."

it! I must have a new hat!”
"I - am surprised at Mrs. Gifford!”
growled Snitzer. “She always seemed
such a sensible woman. She could re
tain her status independent of her hats.
She is a woman of intellect and horse
sense. It is all right for climbers to
dress up in the latest styles. They
have to. But Mrs. Gifford could wear
her husband’s hat.”
“That is what I thought.” said Mrs
Snitzer. “But she has weakened and
now she wears a new hat.”
”\ ery well. 1 give up. Do likewise.
However, I hope you will not buy a
hat that w ill look like an explosion in a
hothouse.”
"No.” said Mrs. Snitzer. ”1 will not.”
“Nor like a scrambled rainbow.”
“No.”
"Ah, I am much relieved! it’s to be
really a hat, then?”
“Yes.”
“A hat to wear?”
“Yes. to kind of wear, you know.”
“Yes, I know. It will either conceal
one eye and one car or one eye and
both cars or both eyes and one ear or
both eyes and both ears, or it will be
suspended on top of the head and not
touch anything.”
“No, it will be a hat. and it will
look like a hat, and it will have just
one little feather sticking up like n
question mark, or rather it is a good
deal like a sickle or a shepherd’s crook.
"The sickle idea Is good. It signifies
that the old man gets trimmed. The
crook is good, too. The bigger the crook
on the hat the bigger the crook the old
man has to he to be able to pay for it.
Yours will have to he more like a but
ton hook, my dear. I atn outclassed in
thut line. *
”< >h. you have selected It already?"
"Not exactly. I can not decide be
tween a yellow crook and a black one.”
“Take a black one. by all means. It
sounds rather operatic. Yes. I am sure
it should he a crook of the deepest
dye. Kindly take this eoat of mine,
my dear, and hold it near the light. I
want to see to part my hair, so I will
use the coat for a mirror."
