SOCIETY. AROUND THE CITY By Nannie HEN Pharaoh's tomb has been cleaned out and darkened cqual to a New England parlor, and ex- Dlorers, artists and philologists are outrushing each other in the making of books, movies and Sunday fea- tures, the chances are that of all the wonder things that wiil come of the performances, the one biggest truth will be ignored. For how could we cxpect ultra-minde to bother with | inything so cveryday ocommon is the human nature that makes & B.C. mummy as like as twing to, say. the plainest sort of woman of today this gnat of an illustration to go by. She was pegging at really remark- able copy that the editor would blue pencil the minute he laid eyes on it —when, all of a sudden, an invisible tan winnowed a lonig. row shiver aown what one valued auth fined as her “spinald colume th zed into a fle with to it Next round pain, the size of a dime, that} camped on the back of her neck When the dime grew into a quarter she knew it was time to tidy up her desk and provide for emergencies with a prodigal divt of phono- graph records among colleagues round—then she went home Ske he was below par. the entirely new set that beset Ler her back undertal had become raw pine shell the brick walls, and to the t rred with black tarpaulin set on round to ai to the ings and goings of a hearse and a black wa n that hospital and apartment who were to be buried funeral parlors.” But unlidding from fits| of a cofin with shiny handles somebody who would never know how fine it was made her pull down the shades and take her fears to the frout rcom with its more comforting view of a ton of beauti- ful c that had just been dumped across the way. But you cannot shove aw impressions when yvour dear back a playground for ice and fire—not to say u single word about your brain - en a buddie woman in to know how she w getting along the sufferer voiced apprehension “Martha. that a nice under- taker man and T want him to get along Lut don't let him come near me with one of shiny coffins—and please don’t lay me out downstairs in the parlor. T want to stay here till the lust second with my pictures and 1 of my beloved junk And 1 to leave the poor old doll nobody to take care of them Martha, who is as cheerful as & stream in summertime, agreed that it would be hard to leave the dolls, but not to worry: “I'll put them in with you.” “Oh, will It will be such a comfort, only—you mustn't! I've got 80 to thinking of them as allve.” “That's all right. They will when you do.” “Thank you, so much. T never even gave it a thought—and it's such a comfort—I have always intended to have sister's palette put in with me 14 her photograph.” Yo reason why you shouldn't. I'll put in the dolls, and the palette and the photograph—anything else? I can pack a whole lot of tHings in Witk you." And that started them to gigling. though neither will ever know brown hair again—and that sent the morbid fears a glimmering, but: : Why may not blg Pharaoh have ®aid to his queen: “I hate to leave my black onyx cat and my cbony gods and the couchcs and chariots T am used to—and my robes and jewels and food, that I have never been able to sct along without.” So the queen told him not to worry; that she could pack a whole lot of things in with him. Aud it was so done. Just human nature—that inscryta- blo, sometimes bad. mostly good, and mever indlfferent power that came into the world with Adam, and will stay here until it follows the last man to Whercver he is going on the judg- moent day—the longing of all of us, regardless of time or station, to take With us on that lonely, scary-strangs Journey something—anything—that has been 4 part of us, because: Because we are & Pty afrald to go home —with b cume a be- of when she window dead b =ra; brought ad rom Blan he arrival and sinis- very rest hate with you? die * % % % NEWSBOY breczed up to a gate 4 1 where 4 woman, just home from jmorning, thank you—“the rent would {sults und irresponsibly joyous work, was considerin v ‘bits of earth e o Jonquils pretty soon The small tacker was <o alert that the woman sort of apologized as she explained that she always bought the Daper from & reguiar boy. He sald that it was just the same, “they was pardners,” so the deal was made and the woman stopped to look over headlines. While she was doing it the regular boy came along, and when he saw the paper and heard her cxplanation, the youngster's blue eyes flashed blue lightning and childhood went out of his voice: The other fellow was a cheat, who tried to sting every regular kid with « route, because he had none of his own—and when he got a hold of him onge he was “going to everlastingly Knock the daylight—'" The woman knew he wouldn't, of course, but for a minute, as she look- ed back at her own newsy skidding ©off on vengeance bent, the jonquils and headlines gave way to a figuring out of what the future can hold for a child who would trick another like that. For money! But you never can tell. He may have been a seedling thief on his way from bad to worse, according to that are going to be Hogarth, or a sprouting financler, who will one day head a corporation ot the sort that has no soul. The only thing she could be abso- Jutely sure of was that the lumpy bits ©f earth were going to bs jonquils pretty soon. * % % ok HEY looked as if they had been picked out of a grab bag, in that ecach was tawdrily gay in' sweater and tams that didn't match, | snd slippers that were wabbly as to heels. But each possessed the il Jusive charm of girlhood that will Lancaster- wake up some morning to find itself a plain woman for life. And both were ds chirpy as sparrows in nest- building time. The one who had a cold that was something dreadful was considering a rhinestone comb—10-cent counter —but couldn't make up her mind whether she would rather have tur- quoise to match her style. | “1 prefer dibods because they lide up so fide at dide—but blue soods by dew crepe de chide.
