; os tincture of jaborand!, four By Roy L.M&Cardell. He Never Listens (0 Her. If He Did He Would Be Better Off! young Mr. Rockefeiler's baby, Mr. Nagg. of course, I know you hold opposite views to what I do, but at the same time you must agree with me that it's nobody’s business, is it? I ask you that, is it any- body’s business? “You didn’t bother to read about it, you say? That Is just ke you. You de not take any Interest in your own children, and consequently you take no interest in other people's. “You never have lost a night's rest with any of your own children, Mr. Nagg! Who is it that is up night after night when the children have a cold or a fever’ Who wakes them up to make them take their medicine? Ido! Not you! “Tt must be nice to have all the money you want and not to be bothered ‘with your children, although I wouldn't trust my children to any nurse, I have seen how they take care of children, leaving the poor little things iying in their go-carts with the sun shining right in their eyes for hours and hours! ' “Of course, as I sald, it is all right for wealthy people, who never take care of their own children; and when you hear of society people getting divorced the Judges take the children from the mother’s servants and give them to the father's servants, except when they take them from the father's servants and give them to the mother’s. . “Mrs, Gradley was telling me about some iriends of hers who are very wealthy and who live in a magnificent suite of ten rooms at a fashionable hotel. They are really not friends, but her second cousins, only now that the Clayghers, for that's their name, have a lot of money they don’t recog- nize Mrs, Gradley. “But Mrs. Gradley knows their nurse, who is a sister to her hired girl, @nd the nurse told her that Mrs. Claygher complained to the manager of the hotel about children romping in the hall, and when she ordered them to keep quiet because she had a headache they were impudent to her. | “After she complained it was ascertained that they were her own chil- ren. She hadn’t seen them for so long she didn’t know them and they , didn't know her. So she had them gathered up and sent to the country, and only for the nurse informing her that one of the children was riding up and down on the elevator, and gave a bellboy a quarter to find it, she would , have shipped them all away except one. | “You are not listening to a word I say, Mr. Nagg! Oh, well, if you choose to treat me with contempt I cannot help it! I do my best, and if you have no regard for my feelings and no love for yaur children I can do nothing! | “And yet those dear children of ours are fond of you, Mr. Nagg, and I think it is a shame the way you neglect. them! You are quick enough to notice other people's children, you talk about the Rockefeller baby and read everything about it that's printed, and yet what have the Rockefellers ever Gone for you? “I believe {n sticking to my own. Blood {s thicker than water, and that’s what my poor dear papa used to say when he would go to our rich uncle William and ask him to lend him money, which was invariably re- fused, for, as mamma used to say, ‘Go to your friends for advice, to strangers for help and to your relatives for nothing, and you will always get it!’ “And yet the Rockefellers are strangers to us and they wouldn't give us @tbing. It is a shame the way that poor old Mr, Rockefeller is hunted and pursued. “I was thinking to-day that you might write him a letter that he could come and stay a couple of weeks at our house in disguise. Brother Willie would be such company for him. And then he might be grateful and do something for the children or remember us in his will. “Nonsense, you say? That's right, insult me, hurt my feelings! frould you be to-day if you hadn't followed my advice, Mr. Nagg!” EART ena ONE PAGE Ua WOHDN oS Nixola Greeley Smith “J DON’T see why the papers make suclf a fuss about | Where Edited Give Us Finery or Give Us Death. By Nixola Greeley-Smith. AST week a little sixteen-year-old girl tried to com- mit suiclie because she said she had no pretty clothes and saw no use In living. She had been happy so long as she was able to carn $1.50 a week In a sweetshop, but when it became neces- sary for her to stay at home to care for a grieving mother, and her personal pittance was cut off, she sought to give up the struggle, And now she touches the seventh heaven of delight because kind-hearted persons, who read of her plight, have given her new clothes. There is-there mus: be—some subtle affinity between glad raiment and the Easter season that induces a more than normal melancholy in the woman sentenced to go about in last season's gear. Just two years ago at this Ime » girl, a ite older than last week’s would-be suf- cide, Killed’ herself for precisely the same reason, and horsilies were written about her, just as they will be @bout her successor in public sympathy. How sad, how Infinitely touching, these Incidents seem. And yet how in- evitably they mark the eternal difference between man and woman. Would our tears fall, would our breath quicken if on taking up the morning paper we read that Thomas Jones, a youth of sixteen, had attempted sulcide be- gate ho had to wear his last year's sult qf clothes? No, indeed. Woe would @mile contemptuously at the feeble woman soul that nad found Its way Into a qnan‘s body, And yet, in the scheme of nature man should care more about clothes than woman. ‘The Hveller iris changing on the burnished dove in epringtime ts on the male dove, and throughout the entire animal creation it is the malo that takes new colors to himself that he may be the more adorable In his bride's eyes. Man's indifference to clothes must be due to the fact that our utter absorption $n them needs a counterbalance. Few are the households that could raise enough money far two resplendent outfits, and the fates presiding over Ruster have tempered happlly the husband's indifference to the shorn pocketbook. ‘Yn normal seagons womankind has varying wants, some of us craving money, others power and many others love. But just now we all want clothes. And tt ts small wonder that a Nttle east side child feeling herself at war with the new wiring sky and the budding leaves and the freshly flowering April bulbs should have sought surcease from the grinding sorrow of a clothesless Easter.
