By JEAN SHEAR. ? : : i Mrs. Albright breathed a long j breath of relief. Ten charming chil- j m*mm mu iijyii jh dren between the ; /ST3' J a&es of six aml j V, , ten had arrived at' J ' vo her home by ones i ?L^ and twos at the' ' j B - jM appoiiited hour to i participate in the delights of her .voting son Hen?<Sfll ry s birthda>' Par' r *9$ ML-It <> The>- ** ^ '^^' *7 been safely herded ^J up the stairs and I fcjjgJHwEpl^ there had been mk&Yji/relieved of wraps and mysterious aBjpCT> parcels; they had $? J* reluctantly identifled and re'^01\YkYfnf &d?Pted their sevrr eral pocket handv kerchiefs and then they had filed solemnly down the stairs and had arrived on the scene of the projected .festivities. The dreaded moments during which Henry received and examined his birthday gifts had also been passed through with outward calm. Therefore, Mrs. Albright permitted herself to take that long breath of relief. It Is true that Henry had gazed with undisguised scorn at the offering of Mamie Tuttle, aged six?a box of paints with a box of feeble drawings to color?and then his absorption in ( the marvelous jackknife presented by Walter had made him oblivious to subsequent events, but these were minor difficulties. "The little dears!" murmured Mrs. Albright tenderly to her niece, who was helping her entertain the small guests. "I am so glad we can make them happy. Isn't that little Beals girl a perfect angel? I think?" She was interrupted by an angry squeal. The difficulty was near at fiano. uq, j<ino, j'uu muoi uo ^wu to your little brother!" she said to the aggressor. Jane, desiring to sit by her particular friend, Mary Peck, had calmly dislodged a boy whose presence had Interfered with her plans. "He's not my brother, Mrs. Albright," said Jane, with virtuous dignity. "He's a horrid boy, and my mother says I'm not to have anything to do with him." "Huh;" retorted the aggrieved one. "My mother says your mother can eat her old calling list, and she hopes It chokes her, that's all!" "No, I don't want to play spin-theplatter," Mamie Tuttle was saying at that moment to Mrs. Albright's niece, who had approached her with blandishments. "No, I don't think games are any fun; they make me hot. ! Haven't you got any lemonade at your party, Henry?" Mamie Tuttle leaned back languorously and turned her melting glance on Henry with all the coquetry of an experienced person of twenty. For a moment that small boy halted, Indefinably attracted by the novelty of this appeal, but his attention was distracted almost at once by the impious conduct of Walter, who had taken down Henry's favorite sailboat and was remoying the sails, mast and all. Instantly party and manners were forgotten in a wave of wrath. "You give that here!" yelled Henry, with astonishing volume. "Don't you dare to do that, I say! Give it to me!" "Henry, Henry!" intei"posed his mother in a shocked voice. But that Immaculately clothed youngster had hurled himself upon the other boy and had wrenched the precious sailboat from him. Bewildered by this infringement upon etiquette and the sacred laws of hospitality, Walter could think of no better response than to black henry's eye with his fist Three minutes later Mrs. Albright and the niece, whitely determined, were convoying to the bathroom two small boys with tear stained faces and injured noses. The terrified remnant of the guests gazed at one another in awe. "Boys is so blu-blub-blubby!" finally gasped little Katharine Beals, hiding her face in her arms and bursting into tears. "Aw, they're all right, sis; quit your crying," consoled her brother, promptly recovering his sang froid at Hioniav nf feminine weakness. The tension being thus relaxed Mary Peck's demure voice was heard making a sensible suggestion. "Why don't they let us eat?" she demanded. Mrs. Albright, returning after having consigned her son to the ministrations of the second maid, heard these words of wisdom and longing and noted the hopeful stir which they aroused among the other children. Why not adopt small Mary's suggestion? she asked herself. Perhaps the socializing influence of eating in common, of which she had heard at the Woman's club, would accomplish what she had failed to do for these young barbarians, the angels of an hour ago. Henry and Walter, subdued if not regenerate, were hastily recovered, the whole party was raarshajed to the long table of the sun porch, and in 40 seconds all ?lgns of storm hgd disappeared as if by magic* All w~as bright contentment. One saw there only polite and aimable childhood. Mrs. Albright's ruffled spirits were soothed. "The little dears!" she murmured to her niece. Eggs of different species of birds greatly differ in shape, but the yolk'i are invariably spherical. BY NO MEANS ALL TRAGEDY Life Has Its Sad Aspects, but There Is Also Much Joyousness to See and Admire. Professor Wiseman, get you out of doors. Let be your books and lock the laboratory behind, you for a little while. Empty your brain of facta *o that there may be room for a fewnew ones.

Ah, but there comes a kingbird and he crushes one of the butterflies in his bill. And you, Professor Wiseman, will now nod your head sagely and recognize an illustration of the deadly struggle for life. You will use the incident next day in your class as a practical " demonstration of the bloody war of nature. See to it, then, that you do ? not lead those young men astray. Be careful that you do not give them a false idea of what you saw when you left your books and your dia secting table for an hour and, contrary to your custom, went out into the living world. When you tell them tell them also about the hundred others that went on sipping honey in all delight of life, and about the flicker laughing in the distance and the happy mocking-birds flitting about the grove.?Atlantic Monthly. "HUMOR" FAILS TO APPEAL Englishman Who Applied to the Char* Itable to Furnish Him With a Yacht la Indignant. The "agony column" of the London Times is still good reading, remarks the Boston Herald. Not long ago "Harassed City Worker" began with an appeal for a holiday and then went on to ask for a yacht. The Times published the following reply: "Harassed City Worker's modest requirements cannot surely be satisfied with merely the loan of a furnished house at seaside and yacht. Why not an aeroplane? Advertisers anxious to confer a benefit on society at large would be delighted to contribute a particularly defective flying machine of archaic design which, if adequately mismanaged, would, they doubt not, 'amply repay' them for their generosity. Reply Box C 260, The Times." Was the "Harassed Citv Worker" abashed by this? Xot a bit of it. Here is his answer: "Harassed City Worker" hereby gives notice that sinee the publication of his appeals in this column his identity has become known to many so-called philanthropists. In the event of his receiving any more insulting attempts at humor, either bv letter or through advertisement, he will be compelled * o take such steps as will vindicate his character and secure him dam DIED OF BROKEN HEART A i* 110. "Keep a light heart and work hard" is the motto of Miss Kebecca Clark of Woodgreen, England, who celebrated her one hundred and eleventh birthday the other day. Evidently this motto was not fullv practised by Mrs. Martha Lassaso of Paterson, X. J., who died during the week at the age of one hundred and ten. And no wonder. She had married five times, and aunarentlv while 7 11 " working hard enough for her five husbands must have had a "heavy" instead of a light heart, as she saw four of them stricken by her side. Physicians attribute her death to the fact that she remained inconsolable over the death of her fourth husband. Dying of a broken heart at the age of one hundred and ten is sufficiently unusual to be noted! RADICAL CHANGE.
