(Anatolo Erance. 1044.1 ch er st. and satiris The editor received me into his edi- torial room and from the deptils of his editorial armchair he spoke to me after this manner: “My good Marteau, write me a story for my special New Year number, about to go to press. Something amusing, with a high society atmosphere.” I told Horteur that as an editor he should know that such a story was not in my line, but I would write him a story, since he wished it. “I wanta tale for the rich,” he said. “I shoulll rather write a La.le for the A tale to inspire the rich | for the poor,” he said. “But that is precisely what I do not ‘want to do,” I returned. “How curious!” “Well, curious or not, it strikes me that the charity bestowed by the rich is done because they feel that they owe the poor something.” “Oh, of course, you would bring in yg‘:xr extreme ideas about the social You may introduce some of your ideas. In fact, they are quite. fashionable—in a moderate form, that is to say. Have some young peo- ple in your story. Tl get good' pic- tures to go with it. Briag in a young girl—pretty ahd charming. That won't be cifficult.” "Nu that won't be difficult.” “And couldn't you get in a little chimney sweep?

She happens to be the daughter of a count. He gives her a kiss, imprinting on the young woman’s cheek a little round “O” of soot. It is a perfectly en- chanting little “O,” quite round and quite black. He loves her. Her name is Edmee. She is not indifferent to him, and the ingenuousness of it all is fascinating. Is that pathetic enough?” '.h“tYes' You can do something with at. “You encourage me. I'll go on.

There are new hats of light, very pliant felt in a wide range of lovely pastel blues, yellows, greens and rose colors, and from fashionable Southern resorts comes word that straw hats in pastel tones are gaining favor as the | days advance.

After a time, the chimney sweep and thé daughter of the count begin to have secret meetings to speak of their love. How do they accomplish these meet- ings? Very simply. The chimney sweep just climbs down the chimney of the big house into the room of his sweetheart. His beloved meets him there, and though he gets her all soot, she loves him anyway.” “But my dear Marteau, aren't you getting a little bit—" “A moment,” I said to my editor. “I'm just getting the swing of the story. One day Edmee and her chimney-sweep lover are caught by her father and mother. There is a scene. An indig- nant scene—to think that their daugh- | ter should accept love from a chimney sweep, S0 sooty, so dirty—you under- stand.” “But my dear Marteau—" “Wait & bit, I am about to conclude the story. It ends with the marriage of Edmee to the chimney sweep. Really, under the circumstances, you know, there was nothing else to be done. Such was the result of charity well bestowed—and that is what I shall call the story, ‘Charity Well Bestowed.’” “I hope you have amused yourself long enough at my expense,” said the editor hotly. “Not a blt of it.

Edmce is far more happy than-- amusement in parties and “frivolities, }" Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. January 29, 1829.—For the second time in the last few years the commit- tee on the District of Columbia of the House of Representatives today sub- mitted to the House a report recom- mending that steps be taken to put an end to the sale of free colored persons | in the District for prison charges. It will be recalled that a memorial was recently presentrd to Congress, signed by more than 1,000 persons, citizens of the District, evincing the “deep sense of disgrace and odium” of the slave trade in the Capital of this Nation. In this document the citizens of the District asked Congress not only that the custom of selling free negroes inio slavery be abolished forever here, h.l lh’\t an arrangement be made for ancipation of all slaves m Mo Weoaiul Capital. Refe! ¢ to & particular case in the | District, the memorialists declared: “A human being was sold in‘o perpetual bondage the Capital of the freest Govern on earth without even a | pretense of trial or an allegation of | erime.” The House District committee in its report today declared .on its own accord—quoting the grand jury of Washington County to the same effect— that even the proposed plan of emanci- pation, which is intended to apply only to children born to slaves in the District after having reached the age of 25 years, will afford no relief unless the C “can be removed from So it appears that once more the | movement for emancipation here is | blocked by what has come to be re- garded by many persons as the real ! problem with rogard to abolishing slavery in the United States—namely, vhat to do with the colored people after they have been freed. But many persons believe the House District committee has taken a long step forward in recommending that the city corporation pay prison charges in- stead of selling free colored people into slavery. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. New Blankets From 0ld. One mother says: I have found a satisfactory method of lengthening the life of baby blankets without sacrifice of dantiness or beauty. After the blankets have been washed enough to lose the charm of fresh- ness, I cover them with a harmonizing shade of volle and tie with a_con- trasting fast-color pearl cotton. Blan- kets treated in this way wash beau- tifully and make the most dainty Jooking little coverlets imaginable. For a heavier and richer-looking coverelet, T cover the old blanket with white out- ting flannel first, and then with pink or blue veile. The resulting comforter is delightful.

As the month draws to a close, the stars radiate benefic influences, accord- ing to astrology. The early morning, however, is a time for caution. * ‘Tomorrow is a day when women will be inclined to insist on special privi- leges and to be aggressive in business affairs, it is announced. While the planetary government seems to favor women's ambitions, it may present cmbarrassment to men or corporations dealing with them. ‘Tomorrow should be a lucky wedding day, and especially fortunate for brides who may expect to exercise much influ- ence in the family financial affairs. ‘Theaters now should profit. and there is indication of great popularity for new siars of the stage. Temptation to exaggerate or even to deceive may be strong tomorrow, when the desire to make good representations may lead to frauds. Again the seers warne against specula- tion on the part of persons who cannot afford to lose their money. There is a most_threafening sign for all chance enterprises.” ‘While this configuration prevails, the impulse to gamble in every way will be :gmng and it will affect old and young alike. American Monte Carlos will flourish for a time next Summer, if the stars are rightly interpreted. Hotels continue under a most favor- able rule, making for increased popu- larity, especially as places of perma- nent residence. Because extremes strongly hold sway, the desire for home-owning will be as keen as thne inclination to avoid house- hold cares, it is foretold, and the year will be profitable for building and loan associations. Persons whose birth date it is have the augury of new experiences and novel ambitions for the coming year. The temptation to indulge in romance may b2 strong. Children born on that day proba- bly will be extraordinarily am'lcllve. and for that reason in danger of being spolled. These subjects of Aquarius often reveal contradittory traits. They are brave, independent and forceful, but they may be much interested in dress and in bizarre modes. Many choose careers that keep them before the public.

You all have read the saying about ‘Youth and Fail; and I wish it were true for all young men and women, as it is for the fortunate majority. But if I were to judge by youths in distress who write to me, “fail” is the one word in constant use. rather fear of failure, which is, after all, but a distorted reaction to the strong ambition to succeed, which is the birth- right of vigorous youth. That's the reason why so many more cases of suf- ferers from fear are men, end not women, whom we look upon as the timid sex, seeking protection. Because a man is expected to be manly and independent and courageous, any departure from that ideal is the more disturbing. Fear hits him harder. There is hope in this letter: So long as you plan great things, you haven't It would be wiser to plan little things that you can do.
