10 91 HOUSEHOLD QpjJ TALKS. Henrietta D. Grauel The Kitchen Comfortable i Much comment is kieard on the class of improvements known as household conveniences. What these are depends on various points of viewi To men they suggest plumbing, heating and lighting systems and some mechanical power for running the household ma chinery. But to women, if one is to judge from what one hears, all con venience in the home begins and ends in the kitchen. As the kitchen is the work shop of the house, this is not so narrow a vision as it seems, l.abor economy in the house is in exact proportion to the ex cellence of the kitchen arrangements. Some kitchens cannot be made com fortable or convenient, they are too large or too small, aurt often r, kitchen is laundry, dining room, and quasi dressing room, as well as the cook shop. It is well enough to say that tasljs unrelated to preparing food should not bp carried on in the kitchen; "circum stances alter cases," in every home. "Common sense," says someone, "has rung the knell of the large kitchen," so, eventually kitchen convenience will become general, sometime. The size of kitchen should depend on the amount id' pantry space available and if possible, these pantries should he on the north side of the room, for this solves the problem, to a great extent, of food storage. The windows and doors of the kitchen should be arranged with an idea of proper ventilation, as well as correct lighting. The equipment should be as con venient and complete as the purse per ELLEN TERRY/DOWAGER EM OF STAGE,' H V I'he title ot "I'owager Empress of the bids fair to remain with Kllen Terry during the remainder of her life.

Strive as he would, he could tind no really remunerative em ployment. He had no special training. He knew no trade. His pen. though fluent, was not cultured and lacked the j glow of eloquence he had when speak- j Ing. lie worked in shops and in fac tories. He tried to report on news papers. But his lack of experience ev- j erywhere handicapped him. What he contrived to earn during those months of struggle was all too little as the time approached for the great event. Angela was now entirely confined to her bed. She seemed to grow more spirit-like every day. A terrible dread haunted O'Connell waking and sleep ing. He would start out of some ter- i rible dream at night and listen to her breathing. When he would hurry back at the close of some long, disappoint ing day his heart would be hammer ing dully with fear for his loved one. As the months wore on his face be came lined with care and the bright gold of his hair dimmed with streaks of silver. But he never faltered or lost courage. He always felt he must win the fight for existence as he meant to win the greater conflict later—for liberty. Angela, lying so still, through the long days, could only hope. She felt so helpless. It was woman's weak ness that brought men like O'Connell to the edge of despair. And hers was not merely bodily weakness, but the more poignant one of pride. Was it fair to her husband. Was it just? In England she had prosperous relatives. They would not let her die In her mis ery. They could not let her baby come into the world with poverty as Its only inheritance. Till now she had been unable to master her feeling of hatred and bitterness for her brother Nathan iel. her Intense dislike aud contempt for her sister Monica. From the time she left England she had not written to either of them. Could she now? Something decided her. One night O'Connell came back dis heartened. Try as lie would, he could not conceal it He was getting to the end of his courage. There was insuf ficient work at the shop lie had been working in for several weeks. He had been told he need nor come again. Angela, lying motionless and white, tried to comfort him and give him heart. She made up her mind that night. The next day she wrote to her brother. She could not bring herself to ex press one regret for what she hnd done or said. On the contrary, she made many references to her happiness with the man she loved. She did write of the hardships they were passing through. But they were only tempo rary. O'Connell was so clever, so brilliant, he must win in the end. Only iust now she was ill. She needed help. She asked no gift-a loan merely. They would pay it back when the days of plenty cauie. She would not ask even this were it not that she was not only ill. but the one great, wonderful thing in the world was to be vouch safed her—motherhood. In the name of her unborn baby she begged him to send an immediate response. She aski d a neighbor to post the let ter so that O'Connell would not know of her sacrifice. She waited anxiously for a reply. Some considerable tfoue afterward— on the eve of her travail and when things with O'Connell were at their worst—the answer came by cable. She was alone when it came. Her heart beat furiously as slip open- ] oil it. KV(MI if lie onl.v sent :i little it j would lie so welcome now when they were almost at the end.

A glaze was over Angela's eyes as she looked up at him. She tried to smile. All her suffering was forgotten. She knew only pride and love. She was at peace. She raised her hand, thin and transparent now. to O'Conuell. He pressed It 10 his lips. She whispered: "My baby. Bring me—my baby." He took it from the woman and placed it in Angela's weak arms. She kissed it again and again. The child wailed pitifully. The effort, had been too much for Angela's failing strength. Consciousness left her. ♦ ♦«*••• Just before sunrise she woke. O'Con nell was sitting beside her.* He had never moved. The infant was sleep ing on some blankets on the couch, the woman watchiug her. Angela motioned her husband to bend near to her. Her e.ves shone with unearthly brightness. He put his ear near her lips. Her voice was very, very faint. "Take care—of—our—baby, Frank. I'm—l'm leaving you. God—help—you —and—keep—yon— aud blesw you—for —jour—love—of me." She paused to take breath. Then she whispered her leave taking. The words never left O'Conneli's memory for all the days of all the years that followed. "My—last—words, dear, the—last— -I*ll—ever—speak—to—you. I—l—love— you with all —my heart—and—my soul—husband! Good- goodby, Frank." She slipped from his arms and lay, Hps parted, eyes open, body still. The struggle was over. She had gone where there are no petty treach eries. no mean brutalities—where all stand alike before the throne to ren der au account of their stewardship. The brave, gentle little heart was stilled forever. ♦ •»»••• And now Peg appears for the Ant time and brings her radiant presence, her roguish smile, her big. frank, soul ful blue eyes, her dazzling red hair, her direct, honest and outspoken truth, her love of all that in oiw C.

They are sacred in O'Connell's heart. They will be to the historian. Thnnks to some kindly Irishmen who heard of O'Connell's plight, he borrowed enough money to bury his dead wife and place a tablet to her memory. He sent a message to Kingsnorth telling him of his sister's death. He neither expected nor did he receive an answer. As soon as it was possible he returned to Ireland and threw him self once again heart and soul into working for the "cause." He realized his only hope of keeping his balance was to work. He went back to the little village he was born in. and it was Father Cahill's hands that pour ed the baptismal waters on O'Con nell's and Angela's bab.v. and it was Father Cahill's voice that read the baptismal service. She was christened Margaret. Angela, one night, when it was near ing her time, begged him if It were a girl to christen her Margaret, after her mother, since all the best in Angela came from her mother. O'Connell would have liked much to name the mite Angela. Hut his dead wife's wishes were paramount. So Mar garet the baby was christened. It was too distinguished a name and too long for such a little bundle of pink and white humanity. It did not seem to fit her. So "I'eg" she was named, and "Peg" she remained for the resl of her life.
