I do not know how long I sat looking dumbly at the shattered pieces of glass, all that was left of my treasured vase. I was stunned at the storm of anger in Dicky which I had aroused by my ultimatum on our household finances, and my determin- ation to earn some money of my own. | It seemed ages before I stirred The I bent to pick up the pileces of glass. At my movement the kitchen door opened swiftly and Katie rushed in. I had a sudden sick knowledge that she had been listen- ing and looking during Dicky's out- burst . “Oh, poor Misses Graham,” crooned, coming over to me and putting 'her arms around me. “You not feel bad for dot. Dot notting for Meester Graham. He mean notting. Many time I see heem mad, he trow things on floor, nearest ting he can get hands on. One time he trow omelet he no like, it go all over stat-u-ary, make heem nightcap for head.” Katie gigled reminiscently “But he get over dot mad joost as queek,” she went on. “Bimeby you see he come kack, he say ‘Oh, s0 sorry. I nevaire, nevaire do eet again’—till next time.” Katie giggled again. ‘“You no feel bad. Man like dot if you do all times vot they want, notimes vat you want, des dey tink you are carpet, dey wipe feet on you.” Through all my natural shrinking from sympathy of any kind, and my distaste of having a servant know any- thing of my affairs, the consciousness of this girl's hearty, sincere feeling soothed me, while her homely philoso- phy fitted in witkr my own reflections. P G she I “Thank you, Katie,” I said. “Will you kindly brush up these pieces be- fore you go."” She brought the broom and dust- pan, gathered up the pieces, carried them to the kitchen, returned and made a pretence of straightening up the living-room, changing the posi- tion of several chairs, and arranging the books and magazines. Evidently she had something on her mind. Finally she came close to me. “Oh, say, Missis Graham, I no like to leave you here alone tonight, be- sides I scared go home every night.” A shrew look came into her face. She hesitated a moment. Read- ing her, I wondered what kindly false- hood she would invent to cover her desire to stay with me. I waited but a moment. ! LY “A man he spik to me last night on the street. I scared and run. | 'fraid he spik to me tonight, too?"” “How did the man look, Katie?" ! asked, half-smilingly in spite of m: heartache. | “Oh! a great beeg man, with beeg:| black whiskers,” Katie evidently was | determined to paint a sufficiently strong picture now she had seized the brush. *‘Hees eyes look like dis at me,” Katie rounded her qwn. 1 could see that she fancied hetself an | awe-inspiring spectacle. “If he spik | to me tonight I shall . jeest dle, T} know."” . . “But there is no place for sleep.” “Oh, yes, Missis Graham. You come with me. I show you.” I followed her to the kitchen. She threw open the door of the unused closet I had given her for her things. “Here,” she said, “I sleep here.” P “Why, Katie,” I exclaimed. isn’t room here for a bed,’ and, 1n~| deed, the closet, while a large one, holding our trunks, ' seemed but a| mere cubby hole for a sleeping plac~. | But as I looked at it I vaguely. membered hearing the woman w had rented the apartment speak of & maid’s bed room.” I 'had paid attention to the phrase, for I h not then intended to keep a maid. Was this what she meant? | “Oh, yes, Missis Graham,” carolled | Katie again, and stopping behind the trunks she brought forta a queer look- ing iron framework which I had noticed, but in my ignorance of housewifely ways had ever bothered to investigate. Pulling it out it re- voaled itself as a small, low bed, with a fairly clean mattress and pillow neld in its iron framework. « + o “See,” said Katie gleefully. “At aight I pull heem out-—so, he nice | bed for me, in morning I shut heem up, 80, he no in way.” “Katle, do not say ‘him’ when you speak of things like beds, chalirs, ta- bles, dishes, Say ‘it’ or ‘them!’ i . you to “There “All right,’ answered Katle, “Thank you. I like to spik the English right. You teach me. I thank you. You let me sleep here, please? This i® such nice room. Down at my cousin's leetle room like dis, me and three children sleep. I no like.” She spoke wistfully. To think that this cubby seemed a desirable sleeping-room anybody! The picture of Katie and three children huddled in one no larger decided me. I would let her stay. Doubtless her company might often be, welcome, I reflected grimly, if Dicky and I kept up the pace we seemed to be setting. . hole to “Very well, Katie,” I said at last. “You may stay if you will be very careful to throw open your window each day a long time anl aim your bedding” There was a, fair-sized win- dow in the closet, or I never should have given my consent to her sleep- ing there. “Come with me, and I will give you linen and a blanket.” g “Oh, thank you, Missis Graham. do everything for you.” Katle grasped my hand and kissed it, her invariable method of showing her gratitude. As [ handed her the sheets and pil- low case, and the only extra blanket my limited linen closet contained, I voiced a doubt that had been in my mind since I gave my consent to her staying. “Are you sure you will be enough tonight, Katie? I'll an extra blanket or a comforter warm get you to- | morrow. “You get me notting,” Katie's voice was decided. “I plenty warm. If I cold I put my coat over me. Pretty soon it get spring, get warm, no need blanket. You not spend your money for do The girl's warm-hearted interest was a balm to my bruised sensibili- ties. I patted her shoulder and spoke warmly. . . . Katie. that's a “You are very good to me, Thank you. Now go to bed, good girl.” “You go to bed, too. You no sit up worrying. If you sit up I stay up, too.” Katie bobbed her head emphati- cally “I am going to bed very soon, Katle, If T need you I will call you.” “All right,” floated Katie’s answer after me as I returned to the living room. “I wake easy. You Jjoost call any time vou want me. I come queeck.’ I sat down before the grate, which I had not yet turned out. I had a fleeting thought of the increased gas bill T would have at the end of the month if it continued to burn, but I was too numb to care about any- thing. The big Angora which Dicky had brought me as his first “housekeeping present,” and over which we had had our first quarrel,, came and rubbed her lazy length against my skirts. Cats have always been an aversion of mine, but since my determination to make the best of Dicky's present I ‘nave tried hard to like the beast. As che came close to me I felt a friendly warm liking for her, and, stooping, lifted her to my lap, where she nestled dowh with a deep purr of satisfaction. * How alone I was when the purr of a cat and the sympathy of a servant were all the consolation I had in my misery! “OVER THE WIRE” By DOROTHY CLARKE I met Roberta on the Avenue, this afternoon, and she told me such a lot of gossip She always knows everything about everybody.....She had on such a smart street dress of tan velours de laine,” made in very simple lines.. The blouse was cut in a long, square piece in the back, which was buttoned to the skirt, and in front the skirt was cut in a similar square which was fastened with but- tons to the blouse On the sides a belt of black moire ribbon ran through loops.....The collar had the same effect, only the ribbon came through on the side of the back and tied in a bow. .Very original de- sign, I think. .Yes, of course the skirt was very full and short... She wore a scarf of skunk fur with a round muff to match....Why don't you run over to tea with me, if you have nothing better to do?.....All right, see you in half an hour... Good-bye.

Both gave me the help I needed. But oh, such a difference in the manner of giving! 1 explained my errand to the first woman. Her face lit up with animation and her eyes shone with friendly interest. “Yes, 1 know the place you mean,” she an- swered. “It must be that dear lit- tle old-fashioned house at the cor- ner. I know youll love it. Go d.f)wn the first street to the right,” etc., ete. When I thanked her she re- sponded with a warm ‘“You're en- tirely welcome,” that made me wish T could something for her. The Woman Without Cordiality. I explained my house—to the second woman. She listened with an impassivity that made me wonder if by any chance she could be deaf (she wasn't, at least not in the ears, in the heart, maybe). Then she answered me With a coldness of tone and man- ner that made me feel as if I were running my head against a blank wall. I wanted further informa- tion, but didn't dare ask it. I thanked her and she very slightly inclined her head in acknowledg- ment and passed on. These two women were perfect examples of the difference cordial- ity, and the lack of it, can make in do errand—another a personality. Cordiality Ts A Fire On The Hearth Of The Heart. | Cordiality is a fire on the hearth its glamor and even the stranger feels its cheerful influence in his | momentary contact with its owner The heart of a person who utterly | lacks cordiality is llke a chilly | room with a clean-swept, fireless hearth. The room may be beautifully | furnished, but no one feels cheered or at home in it, even its owner. The Heart Fire Shines Through Her Eyes, I know a woman body likes. She and not terribly clever, s so cordial! You cheered and warmed her. It is the beautiful fire that the hearth of her through her eves, voice and manner. Cordiality is a great gift. it wholly a gift? Cannot kindle the fire by deliberate of one's will? | I'm not quite sure which is the way of it. I guess it's about six of natural gift and a half a dozen of ac- | quitred talent. Is there a fire on the hearth vour heart? whom rather every- plain | but or, she always feel by meeting influence of the | always blazes on heart.

Dorothy Bernard, most winsome and daintiest of dramailc stars sup- ported by Thurlow Bergen and an all star cast of Fox principals are fea- tured in this most r Few plays have ever found their way 8o thoroughly into the hearts of the American public as has “The Lit- -ent production. | AT FOX’S. tle Gypsy.” The original stage pro- duction was hailed by critics the coun- try over as a distinct event in the drama and marking a new epoch in the art of the theater. The metro- politan critics devoted a literal mile of space to describe this delightful work of Walter Dare, and it drew mill- lions to see it presented upon the stage. With all the enhanced oppor- tunities for scenic display and dra- matic action afforded by the photo- dramatic version it is safe to say that “The Little Gypsy” is one of the great- est and most universally appealing of any of the screen plays. Theda Bara in ““A Fool There Was,” the latest chapter. of ‘“Neal of the Navy,” Pathe War News, and a Chaplin comedy, will be shown the last time tonight. Burton the character comedian wil] recite one of Kipling's poems. WONDERFUL PICTURES COMING TO LYCEUM | In speaking of his accomplishment in the making of the now famous war pictures of the German and Austrian which will be shown the Lyceum on Monday, Tuesday and Wed. of next week. Mr. Edwin I Weigle, the staff photograyher of the Chicago Tribune said “I have prob- ably been more fortunate than the average war photographer due to the fact that I had been in the war zone previously and had learned the many difficulties which had to be overcome. When I went over to take these pic tures I equipped my camera With a long-distance telephone lens. This enabled me to take scenes at a dis- tance of three thousand feet. I was able to stand outside the line of fighting and photograph all shrapnel and high explosives as they burst in the air and showered volleys of shot into the trenches of the enemy. My success can also be largely attribut- ed to the fact that I made an ar- rangement wih Field Marshal Von Schleyer whereby some of the pro- ceeds from these pictures would be turned over to the fund for blind and crippled soldiers.” EMIL H.

The lad, who has no home and other name than that which is freckled face suggests finds a happy environ- ment in the big lumber camp at Lim- berlost. He also finds a little giri who later proves that she is a loyal no | friend. Next week's production decidedly out of the players will present what is the latest musical fashion show, “Mam’'Zelle Fashion,” which, after weeks of preparation, is ready for the approval of Hartford audiences. A chorus of Hartford beauties will be shown in three tuneful acts and seven enes.
