THE LADY BUG'S PARTY

Tho Bnrbadlan went up tho steps and
tore the crceperB nway from tho door,
then ho drew from his pocket nn enor
mous key. With n rasp tho lock turned
nnd the door opened, letting ft bar of
light Into a wide, cool hall.
Gerry followed tho Uatbadlnu through
tho hall to a broad veranda at the back
of tho house. A largo living room faced
on to the vcrainln. Tho Barbadian en
tered It, opened the Ft each door-windows
nnd, dusting off two lounge chnlrs,
invited Gerry to sit down.
Gerry looked mound cuiiouily. Tho
living room was comfortably furnished.
Thpie weie ono or two excellent rugi on
the wnxed lloor, a groit couch, sot Into
n bow-window; lace curtains, creamy
with ago; a wonderfully carved escritoire
In rosewood: u sideboard, round table und
chairs of mahogany that was almost ns
dull nnd black as ebony. Over all lay a
coat of dust.
The Barbadian walked to the intind
table and with his linger wroto In the
dust, then ho sat down In a worn and
comfortnble chair, n companion to
Gctry's. He fell Into so deep n reverie
that Gerry thought ho wns oslcep.
Gerry got up nnd walked around the
room. His cyp fell on the table. He Raw
what the Barbadian hnd written; simply

lllmed over with dust, and above that
nnother almost oblltciatcd. Gerry leaned
over the tnble. He could seo that a
long succession of dates had been written
Into the thick-laid dust. Beginning with
tho fresh numerals staring up nt him they
leached back nnd bnck through tho years
till they faded awny Into a dim past.
Gerry tiptoed out on to the veranda.
Bcfoio him was a ruined lawn; In Its
centro a cracked, dry, marblo fountain.
Off to ono side wns a giant plnn tree.
From ono of Its limbs hung two frayed
ropes. Against Its trunk leaned n
weather-beaten signboard. Under tho
ropes, a wisp of path still showed, beaten
hard in u bygone day by the feet of chil
dren. Beyond itho lawn sti etched wide
hummocky cane fields. They were aban
doned snve for little patches of enno hcto
and there, bunched up ngalnst little hen
coop houses.
"Got a home, boy?"
Gerry turned nnd found the Baibadlan
standing beside him. "A homo!" ho an
swered, his thoughts Dying to Bed Hill,
"1 should think I hao nnd it's a II"
Gerry caught himself but not ln time.
Tho Barbadian nodded slowly. "I know,"
ho said, "you were going to say It's a 11 o
one. Well, as to that, don't you make a
mistake. This home is alive too just
exactly as alive as I am, for I'm tho last
of tho Barbados Malcolms.
"Home," he went on, "Isn't altogether
a matter of cash, comfort and cool drinks.
Sometimes it's ju.st a gathering place for
memories.
"Thcro was n time when we whites
stood fifteen to one over tho blacks on this
island. Now the tables are turned. A

he sees n white man would havo to go to

Gerry looked nt the Barbadlnn's r.ither

bright as stars.
Mr. and Mrs. Potato Bug were to
be there with Faith, Hope and Char
ity, their three charming daughters.
Willie Trcetond looked at himself
in the glass twice when ho thought of
Hope Potato Bug.
Lady Bug promised the little Fire
flies an extra dish of ice cream npieco
if they would sit on the trees and
I light up the lawn, which they agreed
to do.
Doctor Beetle was tho first to ar
rive, the Screech Owl let him in.
"You are looking very beautiful to
night," said Doctor Beetle to tho
Lady Bug.
"To who?" went tho Owl.
"To me, of course," said Doctor
Beetle, laughing, at which Lady Bug
blushed very prettily.
Soon everybody arrived, nnd such n
good time as they all did have! The
table groaned with all the good things
to cat.
Of course, the Owl kept interrupt
ing with "To who?" ev"ery time any
body else made a remark, but nobody
seemed to mind.
Tho little Fireflies had never tasted
ico cream, but they had heard how
good it was. Each had a dish be

them. They ate every bit of it and
then, what do1 you think happened?
They got so cold their lights went

and kissed Hope Potato Bug with a

nnd the scene of his first wanderings.

glow of tho summer city, here and there
pierced with tho brighter tlnme of some
grotesque montroslty
Up the bay tho dark waters forked Into
two bandi' that lost themselves In a Beu
nnd sky of twltfltllng lights. He could just
determine the sweeping nrch of Brooklyn
Bridge nnd the presence of more than ono
now Tower of Babel that broke tho over
changing skyline of his native city nnd
made him feel, by that much, forgotten
nnd nn alien. But from nil the myriad
lesser lights his eyes turned gratefully to
the high-held torch of Liberty.
Beneath It, tho familiar, tilted diadem,
tho shadowy folds di aping tho up-stand-Ing

can led their message to hlui as never

CHAPTER XLII.
IT WAS 10 o'clock on a morning In
eaily autumn whe.i Gerry finally got
fiee of the fielghter and took tho ferry
for the other sldo of the river. He hnd
left all his baggage to he delivered nt
tho house later. Tho morning was clear
hut sultry. In tho city tho apathy of
summer das had settled down. Toople
glanced at Goiry's heavy twceJs and an
tiquated liat, but they did not spillc, for
Gon himself was such a sight ns makes
men forget clothes. Tho tan of his lean
face, the swing of his big, unpadded
sliouldors, ills clear eyes, carried tlio
thoughts of passers- . nway from clothes
mid city things. They seemed td catch
a breath of spicy winds from the worn
garments Hint clung to the stranger's
irllo body, and In his eyes they saw a
milage of far-away places.
As Uerry leached hW own house, ho
vas outwardly cnlm,,ove.i deliberate, but
luwaidly lie was lighting down a turmoil
of emotions. What was ho to Hnd ln
Allx? Hud he anything to give in ox
chunge? Had ho too much? Ho climbed
the stens slowly. Ills hand trembled as
! ho leached out to ralso the heavy bronze
knocker. Heforo ins lingers coma oeiza
it, tho door swung softly Inwatd. Old
John honed before him. For a moment
Qeiry stood duzed.
The nutmnliiess of thnt open door, of
tho old butler, of tho cool shadows In
tho old familiar hull, struck straight at
his heart with tho bhrcml poignancy of
simple things. Old John raised a smiling
lace to greet him but down ono wrinkled
cheek crawled a surprised teur.
Ourry held out his hand. "How do
von do, John?"
"I am very well today, sir," said John.

Olchifl to the act Uiat the Evening

relating to matlcis of etiquette, It has

bu an nuthoilty on social coiiuenllons,
telio is prepared to onstcer clcarlu,
carefully and conclusively any query
ichlch may be propounded.
Oood form queries should be ad
dressed to Deborah Jiush, icrlllen on

To continue the subject of paying calls.
The winter months are genorally set aBldo
for formal calls, especially January nnd
February. It is cuslomeiy In this city
to hale a certain day In these mouths for
receiving
Theso days may be mndo public through
tho society pages of tho dally papers,
though many persons prefer to Issue cards
When n certain dny Is given out by n
hostess. It Is bad taste to call on nnothcr
day In the week when there is likelihood
of her not being nt home. In paying
these formal calls It Is not necessary to
stay much longer than IB or 20 minutes,
and It Is usunl to lenve cards, your own
nnd those of tho different members of your
family.
Hats at Evening Affairs
Dear itlss Hush Is It correct to wear
hats nt evening affairs? I nm naked to n

It Is not correct to wear a hat In tlio
evening to a dance. Several years ago tho
fad for wearing theatre hats started, hut
It waR soon discontinued, probably owing
ti the fact that it wns Inconvenient to
hold ono's lint during tho performance.
Wear nn evening frock of silk or tulle
and no lint.

A Question of Propriety
My Dear Deborah Rush Has It grown
fashionable for unmarried women to go
unchnperoncd to seashore hotels and other
resorts, or, If It Is allowable for them to
go, should they not keep carefully to their
Hpartments or the parlors that arc set
aside for the use of ladles? Not long ago
I was scandnllzed by seeing two young
women at tho hotel where I was staying,
nnd not only did they not stay with the
other women, but were rather conspicuous
In the attentions they received from some
men nt the hotel, receiving (lowers from
them, dancing nnd oven letting them join
them nt meals. Of course, they may havo
been respectable, but Is it not a little hard
that ladles of true refinement should be
obliged to remain ln doubt about them.
They were very nico looking and their
behavior was perfectly ladylike; If I had
felt sure of their character. It would per
haps havo been to my advantage to know
them,
them. UNAPPRECIATED SPINSTER.
It would depend greatly on the ago of
tho young women you mention. If one
or both wcro more than 2G and behaved
with proper propriety and dignity, I can
sco no reason why they should not receive
flowers from gentlemen nor dance with
them at n hotel. Perhaps theso persons
were friends thoy had known a long time
Of course, two girls of 18 or 20 summers
should not go to any hotel unchaperoucd,
nnd those who nro older and do go should
bo very circumspect In their behavior.
From what you tell mo of theso young
persons, I can see nothing bold or for
ward In their mnnners, nnd think you
might havo done well had you succeeded
In being Introduced to them. It Is never
well to jump to evil conclusions about
others. '
American and Continental Customs
Dear Deborah Hush There Is a varia
tion between American and Continental
usage as to whether a gentleman should
offer the Initial greeting when meeting a
lady on tho street. Can you tell me whnt
tho difference Is? MORTON.
Tho custom In America Is that the
woman should give the first sign of recog
nition whoti meeting a man on tho street.
I am told that the same rule holds on
tho Continent.
To Sit or Not to Sit
Dear Deborah Hush When a gentle
man pulls out your chair nt the table
should you sit down or not? This has
happened to me several times lately, nnd
I liuvo been mucii worried, ns, If It Is
Intended for a Joke and the chair Is pulled
nway, I might fall to the floor nnd bo bad
ly Injured. Thanking you In advnnce for
your ndvlce, I nm, gratofully yours,

Get two screw hooks from the tool chest
and discover an old ruler, or a thin flat,
piece of board. Screw the hooka In the
wall or window sill over the table and slip
the ruler or board in behind these hooks.
Then capture the "pesky' paring knife,
the bread knife, the carving knife and
any other kind of knife you are prpud,
enough to possess, and slide them blade
down behind the board. The handle of
the knife will keep it from slipping all the
way through.
No more scrambling through the Jum
bled kitchen drawer, no more Impatience
and annoyance with "pesky" lost and
hidden knives. Do away with little
ktti. hen worries! Have yours a. con
venient kitchen! Make a knife holder
for oursU!

WALTER DAMROSClt'S CONCERT
Frieda Hempol Sings With New
York Orchestra
The concert of the New Vorli Symphony
Society, given nt tho Academy of Music
last night, wns In so ninny ways a triumph
for Its conductor that It may truthfully be
called "Wnlter Damrosch's concert." Mr.
Dnmrosch conducted, nrranged nnd com
posed. Frieda Hempcl, soprano of the
Metropolitan, wns tho nsslstlng nrtlst, nnd
oven In her work Mr Dnmrosch shared.
It was quite amusing.
Mr. Dnmrosch seemed, at times, actually
to be exploiting his string choir, which
plnyed with more resonance, more sure
ticss nnd moro sweetness thnn ever bofore.
Tlio process of exploitation resulted, In the
Schumann (fourth) symphony, In a sub
sidence of the wind, nnd contributed
largely to the oustnudlng fault of tho con
cert, thnt Mr. Dnmrosch could not achieve
nnd hold his climaxes He worked up tb
them; he fell nway from the moment nt
which they nlAiuld linvo come Hut they
wcro not Tho symphony requires not
overmuch penetration; It should not bo
analyzed by the conductor, nnd In these
resjieets Mr. Dnmrosch was well enough.
Ills orchpstra took a magnificent presto,
wllh precision nnd vigor.
As nrrnnger of tho "Processional" from
"Parsifal," Mr. Damrqsch was not su
perior to other workers' in tlio same field.
He more than made up for tills ln tho
lnuslennly, workmanlike nnd effective mu
sic written for tho "Iphlgenia" produced
by Miss Margaret Anglln a year ago.
The simplicity of atmosphere, acquired by
every necessary complexity of orchestrn
Hon, Indicated precisely tho quality In
Mr. Dnmrosch which we desire him to cul
tlvatc. Ho has an cxtrnordlnnrlly cathollo
mind In relation to music. His appre
ciations nro mnny. His emphasis, how
over, should bo on tho neat and tho slmplo,
because In the complex and tho romantic
he falls short. Tho "Iphlgenia" music was
received with thunderous applause, In
which Mr. Barroro and other solo players
properly shared
.Miss Hempcl sang. Ah. well! Miss
Hempel lias sung before, sung better nnd
with something moro of nttentlon to her
work. But Miss Hempel was never so
much herself ns last night, never was sho
so wonderfully, so In blue green, in lav
ender pink, in buoynncy nnd brilliancy
arrayed. Did she bedeck horsolf, so un
faithfully rucdclapnlxlan, In order to sot
forth her encore, tho song-waltzes of the
"Beautiful Blue Danube"? Her volco wns
her xolco as wo well know It, but It wasn't
taught to bchavo last night. In the "Slum
ber Kong," from Meyerbeer's "Dlnorah,"
It outright lefused to go on. In Strauss'
"Screnndo" it was superb again. In the
encore It wns excessively dazzling. And,
further, slnco music wns so mingled with
mystery last night, there was Miss Hem
pel's smile! Ono could rhyme "quizzical"
and "monallslcal" if ono dared. And ono
thinking of this and Intending every man
ner of compliment In tho phrase, did call
Miss Hempcl tho "Mona Lisa of the
Rathskeller." He referred to the German
variety, where all humanity arid all sim
plicity nnd all goodness reside. For,
surely, ln splto of the frilllngs nnd fash
lonlngs of Miss Hempel's volco, something
of these qualities abide In her. G. V. S.

ROOSTERS COMPETE
FOR JOB IN MOVIES
Plymouth Rock Scion Responds
to Phonograph in "Fires
of St. John"
Roosters with hlgn tenor voices, olheM
with baritone asplintlons and still mora
whose tones were asthmatic competed for
the $25 job at the Lubln studio, which was
advertised In tho Evening Ledobiu
It wnB specified that tho fowl In ques
tion must be able to crow beforo a moving
picture camera hi order to obtain the
money
There were a large number of npplf,
cants from nil sections of the city, Direc
tor Edgar Lewis had the Etrenuous task of
testing their ability. But moat of them
were obstinate ro6stcrs. They crowed Just
when they felt like it, and paid no ntten
tlon to the orders of the director.
When placed In front of the camera
they refused to speak at all. Somo of ths
actors gathered around and engaged them
ln coaxing baby talk. Others throw corn.
It wns evident that the candidates had
been nil through that sort of thing, and
they looked nt those assembled with ab
solute Indifference.
In despair, Mr. Lewis turned on ft pho
nograph. Instantly ono of the Plymouth
Hocks, which had coma to apply for the
Job, straightened up nnd was evidently
Inspired. It was seized and placed beforo
tho camera, and, to tho delight of tho
movie nctors, emitted a crow which re.
minded ono of Easter morning In th
barn yard.

appear In "Tho Fires of St. John" wan lm '
mediately staged while the fowl was" In

Henry Ullrich, Baritone, Makes Debut
A barltono volco of largo volume,
splendid quality nnd excellent resonanca
nro tho natural assets of Honry L. T.
Ullrich, who made his local debut at
Griffith Hnll Inst night. This endowment
of nnturo tho young singer has comple
mented by nn ndequate "method," In
which tlio tones are accurately placed and t
the necessary technical requirements of a
concert singer carefully developed.
Mr. Ullrich Blngs with rare distinction
for nn nrtlst of his years. He sings not
only suavely nnd easily, but feelingly. .
He Is able to differentiate moods and emo
tions In tho music and ln tho song. His
diction Is clear. Ho has obvious and I
warm sympathy with his work. By all
tokens Mr. Ullrich Is nn aspiring singer
who takes his art seriously and who de
serves to be taken seriously.
Mr. Ullrich's previous experience In
choir singing conferred tho suro manner
of authority on his reading of Handel's
"Whero'er You Walk" and the "It Is
Enough" aria from Mendelssohn's "Ell
Jah." but he was ndept In secular as well
as sacred music This was demonstrated
admirably In tho vigorous setting which
Bruno Hulin gave to W. E. Henley's tri
umphant lyric. "Invlctus"; It was sung
Willi icsoundlng power. As nn Interpreter
of lleder Mr. Ullrich likewise proved effi
cient. Ho conveyed the spirit ns well an
substance of familiar songs by Brahms.
Schubert nnd Schumann. Charm of man
ner and clearness of enunciation charac
terized Cadman's "Memories," Phillips'
"Down Among tho Dead Men," and Arnj
Woodfordo-Flnden's Indian love lyrics.
