By ADELE GARRIZON Madge Classified IHer New Neighbors, “Good morning.” The words, uttered in the low tanes of a woman’s voice, startled me. I stood in the living room of the Brennan house on the outskirts of Marlin, which Dicky had rented, su- perintending the work of a big negro, who, with flannel-covered brush, was wiping the dust and cobwebs from the cefling and walls. I had digcovered earlier in the morning that while the colored woman Mr, Brennan had en- gaged for me was a fairly reliable worker, her husband had to be watched or his work would suffer. So I had dispatched Katle and the woman helper to the bedroams and attic, and supervised the man’s work myself. I turned to the door to confront a tired-looking = but pleasant-faced woman, spare of figure, with iron- gray hair, features which once must | have been pretty, and a complexion which showed traces of beauty it possessed when its owner was young. “Good morning,” I returned. “I am your neighbor, directly opposite, Mrs. Burchell,” she said ‘I ran over to see if there needed. If you How was anything you anything which can help you, please consider me at your service.” e “Why, that is very kind of you, I I was really quite overcome at this neighborly which made me realize as almost nothing else could, the differ- was moving to ‘the country village which was to be my home for the summer.

The hours sped on, all too fast for the work I wanted to accomplish.

She had brought a basket racked with all the fool, cutle: dishes for a good lunch, and she did need anything come cn my shoulder. “Surely,” she said, ‘you are not going to keep that old square piano | of the Brennans.” | “Mr, Brennan said this morning | when he gave me the lkeys that he would have it taken away very | hortly.” Mrs. Burchell laughed unIcflc*fs\fia,lznt-1 ly. | : “Don’t you belleve a word of it,” ghe said. ‘‘That man won't do one thing he isn’t compelled to do.

AERIAL WONDERS IN some aerial feats make the and Morris, the flying Scotchmen, who are featured on the vaudeville bill at Keeney's this week, one of the most distinctive acrobatic turns that has been given here in a long time. There are many novel feats in the repertory of the Scotch pair and they find great favor with the Keeney patrons. The vaudeville program this week is well diversified and should suit all tastes. It is an unusually well bal- anced bill and it has many features that appeal strongly to lovers of the variety Besides the aerial wonders there is Mary Ballington, a pretty omedienne, who can sing and dance in 2ntertain- ing fashion, and Monkey Island, a pleasing specialty presented by a troupe of trained baboons. The week’'s biggest drawing however, is Charlie Chaplin in Fireman,” the latest Mutual release. The eccentric comedian has a role well suignd to his peculiar talents in this comedy and he keeps the audi- ence laughing from the start to finish. As a special attraction tonight, the management will offer the Red Feath- er feature. “Man From Nowhere,” with King Baggott and other stars in the cast. This film is in five reels. The three-reel Vitagraph drama, “A Strange Case” and the latest episode in “The Mysteries Of Myra,” will also be shown. Heading the bill tomorrow will be “The Scapegrace,” a Lubin three- reeler, and “The Devil's Image,” an Tmp release.

Slaves To “They Say.” Many people are to what people think. 3 is a tyrant that makes people shape their lives to its pleasure. Comfort slavery is another form of the most abject slavery. I think there are more people who are slaves their own comfort and ease and con- venience than to any other master. How many compromises with their better selves people make, how many meannesses they are guilty of, how much of the finer kind of pride they sacrifice, because they or those dear to them must have their comfort and ease, « Thoreau Knew What Freedom Meant. aves to Thoreau knew what freedom meant, We read about his perfectly independ- ent life and many us envy him, but do emulating him. life has of we dream of How could we?
