It was iiobody's fault l>ut her own.
Whenever trouble came a knocking at
Phillppa's door alt kind friends raised
hands of innocence to tin* skies and de
clared thankfully that It was nobody's
fault but her own.
"lie had no earthly right to raise his
hat and smile when 1 met him In the
elevator."
"lie had every right in the world,"
contradicted Elizabeth calmly. "If I
had been In his place I should have
come ri£ht down and called on you aft
er you had acted like a lovelorn lunatic,
Pippa."
"It was not lunacy. It was Inspira
tion," I'hllippa half turned from the
piano to argue. "You weren't in the
studio at the time, Beth, and you don't
know a blessed thing about It.l wasn't
even practicing 1 was cleaning up."
Elizabeth smiled. She had seen Phi
llppa's cleaning up process. It meant
the hustling of everything disorderly
out of sight, under the divan, behind
the wardrobe, anywhere at all, so long
as It was unseen.
"And he sang my pet duet from 'II
Trovatore.' Reth, It wan splendid.
You poor, old heathen, you don't ap
predate music a bit. All you tan un
derstand are a few oily, dauby daubs
or a pen and Ink sketch, but if you had
only heard him"
"If I had heard him 1 don't think
that I should have flown to the win
dow and warbled back an answer up a
New York air shaft."
"1 don't care." Phillppa's tone was
lofty and her attitude belligerent. "I
didn't care a rap about him personally,
and I hadn't the slightest idea what he
looked like, but the voice was divine
It was the voice of Manrteo calling,
and Leonora answered It for art's
sake."
"Well, Leonora bad better attend to
her cleaning up and mind her own
business. Now, she hasn't any cause
for complaint at all, because Manrieo
raises his hat to her in the elevator and
says 'Howdy?' in neighborly fashion.
Are you sure It was Manrieo?"
"Oh, yes. He looks it," lliillppa
spoke, with vague enthusiasm. "And
Lafayette says that he is the new one
In the studio over ours."
"Well, you had better send Lafayette
a little printed slip to post up in his
elevator:
" "Students may sing grand opera
duets through the air shaft, but any
promiscuous greetings In elevator will
be followed by eviction.' "
"I suppose the poor fellow was so
amazed and delighted when he saw
how completely I fulfilled his ideal of
Leonora that he lost his presence of ,
mind " Philippa could be as sweetly, |
simply and contentedly vain as Narcis
sus among the water lilies.
"Presence Of mind Is never lost." !
Elizabeth added a high light daintily
to the left eye of an Italian fruit vend
er on the canvas before her. "it Is ,
mislaid. As long as he didn't lose his
heart he needn't worry."
Phlllppa laughed and ran her fingers
teaslngly over the piano keys.
"I think he Is worrying," she said.
But there were no more duets
through the air shaft. If the occupant
of studio 5, on the third floor, happened
to be practicing her trills and quavers
the occupant of studio 17, on the fourth
floor, sat by his open window and Us
tened. and when a full, rich tenor float- j
ed down from studio 17 Phlllppa would
tiptoe to the window and listen also
and be glad and proud In a way, be
cause somewhere in the golden tomor
rows of hope success lay snugly and
surely tucked away for the tall, brown
eyed boy who Oared to greet Leonora
in the elevator.
Ho had "dared' only once. Long
after even Elizabeth deigned to bow a
comradely #ood day to him I'hllippa
passed on her own way, a slim, arro
gant, blond young person in gray vel
vet and squirrel furs Elizabeth pre
served a graceful posture on the neu
tral fence. Warring factions were not
in her line, but when she was sending
out invitations for the monthly I»otcB
picnic In studio 8 she did not think ft
amiss to send one up to studio 17.
Phlllppa was passing club sand
wiches when Bobble Clarkson Intro
duced her to the tall, brown eyed boy
She did not drop the tray. Khe merely
smiled most graciously and asked If
Mr. Eliot liked club sandwiches made
of a celestial combination of chicken
salad, chopped almonds, olives, deviled
ham and tabasco sauce.
It appeared that Mr. Eliot did. In
fact, be paced after the dispenser of
oelestlal sandwiches all around the
studio in a deliberate, determined, man
overboard fashion, most disconcerting
to the dispenser, until he finally cor
nered her In the Japanese alcove and
forcibly ttnlshed up the remaining
sandwiches himself.
"And he never even said n word
about the duet." auawered
later when she sat, like a TTtnlloo lAol,
In a pink kimono on the bed and
thoughtfully reviewed the evening,
"lie's a gentleman and a scholar, and
Bobble says he's all right; solid, old
Maryland family and all that sort of
thing; first name's Marbury Marbury
Eliot He has only been lu New York
a couple of months, and he doesn't
like It very well. He thinks It's lone
some He says we're conservative and
clannish.'
"There's a good remedy. Tell him
to be a clam unto himself."
Phlllppa shied a pillow at the scoff
er.
"Goose:" she said. "Cau't you see?
He wants to to my clan. I'm
going to the Czarga concert with him
tomorrow." I
"See? Of course I see/' <juoth Ellsa

Lonesomeness to Strangers In NW|
York, providing said strangers are gwß (
tlenien and scholars, from solid old
families, and can slug duets and eat
club sandwiches fur art's sake. I see
the end."
Rut i'hllippa only smiled and was si
lent. It had been a most entertaining
a Lid interesting twenty minutes spent
In the Japanese corner. One\ yj
view on life In general may cUtw owa
siderably even In twenty minutes.
It was two weeks after the Czarga
roncert. Philippa came out of the
Metropolitan Opera House as Eliot
swung up Broadway. It had begun to
snow at sundown, and there was the
lull In trathe that comes on the grout
white way l»-t\veen dinner time and
the hour when the curtain rises. She
was tucking a couple of"II Trova
tore" tickets into her hand hag when
he greeted her.
"They're for Beth and me," she told
him happily. "We live on strawberry
Jam and crackers when the opera is in
full blast. I'o you know 1 never go
there but 1 wouder when my turn wiu
come, don't you?"
lie did not answer her directly.
They hud crossed to the Sixth avenue
elevated and were walking along be
| side Bryant park to the station be
fore he spoke to her.
"1 am going homo this week to spend
I Christmas with my mother in Mary
land, and before I go"-
A vagrant wind swept down upon
them, and Philippa bent her head side
ways to avoid Its sting. As she did
so her eyes met tils in one swift glance.
She was not smiling now. Her face
was aglow with a curious, half frlght
-1 ened expectancy.
"Let's hurry," she said. "It's so
cold."
lie stopped short where only an au
dience of sleepy cab horses could listen.
"lU*fore 1 go I want to know if I may
tell her that next year you will go home
with me."
Cab horses are very discreet. They
did not even hear the answer.
"But It won't happen until next
Christmas, of course," I'hillppa ex
plained over a cup of Ceylon in the
studio that evening.
'Tntil Manrlco has won fame and
fortune singing to his ladylove at the
Metropolitan?" asked Elizabeth.
I'hillppa stirred in another lump of
sugar demurely.
"Oh, Marbury doesn't sing at all,
Beth," she said. "That was his room
mate, Grahame Moore, who sang the
duet with me. Marbtiry Is an artist."
And Elizabeth, after one long look
of enlightenment, smiled in fashion
wise.
"For art's sake," she said severely.
"Fudge!"
Chlnrac Advice to t;lrl*.
Between A. I> 780 and 830 there
lived In China Ave remarkable sisters
named Sung, all of whom possessed
considerable literary talent, andes
peclally the two elder ones. They re
fused to marry and devoted them
selves to literature, being finally re
ceived into the palace, where indue
course they all died natural deaths,
with the exception of the fourth Miss
Sung, against whom charges of accept
ing bribes were trumped up, the result
being that she was forced to "take
silk"—in other words, to strangle her
self.
The eldest sister wrote a book called
"Discourses For Girls," based upon
the famous "Discourses" of Confucius.
It is in an easy style of versification
and is generally suited to the compre
hension of the young:
When walking, do not look back
When talking, do not open wide your lips
When sitting, do not rock your knees
When standing, do not shake your skirt.
When pleased, do not laugh aloud
When angry, do not shout*
Do not peep over the outside wall
Do not slip Into the outer court
When you go out. veil your face
When you peep, conceal your body
With a man not of the family hold no
conversation whatever.

What could t>«- more simple or more
splendidly direct as a compliment to a
pretty girl than the small boy's ad
miring question, "Are your eyes new
onesV" No "grownup" person could
have thougltf of that. "A ruminating
animal is one that chews her cubs"
there might surely bo less thoughtful
definitions. As for definitions, no die
tlouary has ever given anything better
than "a movable feast —a picnic."
There Is a delightful note of the night
nursery in the beginning of a girl's
essay on boys, "The boy is not an ani
mal, but they can be heard to a con
siderable distance," equaled perhaps
in its splendid simplicity by the boy's
written criticism to the effect that
"most girls are very shy and angry."
It Is the directness of the description
which compels attention in vivid com
ments such as, "Just before it killed
me the tooth came out," and nothing
surely could be more Johnsonian in its
absolute truth than the answer given
to the painstaking schoolmaster try
ing to make the class understand what
might be meant by the subversive
word "antipodes." "If 1 bored a hole

THE COTTON GIN.
Hun Kll Whitney, !«■ ln»eutor, <•«>»
III" Urr»l Iden.
Ell Whitney, the inventor of the cot
ton gin, got the germ of his great idea
from seeing through the interstices of
a hut an old negro work a hand saw
among the freshly picked cotton stored
within.
The teeth of the saw tore the lint
from the seed easily and quickly, and
young Whitney (lie was bareij thirteen
at the time> realized at once that a
machine working a number of similar
saws simultaneously would revolution
ize the cotton growing Industry.
lie said nothing to anybody, but set
to work building models and experi
menting. His difficulties were enor
mous, for he not only had to make his
own wheels, cogs, etc., but he had also
first to forge his own tools and even to
manufacture the paint wherewith to
color his many plans and drawings.
Hut he succeeded in the end, and,
though the outbreak of war and other
hindrances prevented the Invention
from being actually placed upon the
market until many years afterward,
the first complete cotton gin ever con
structed was built from those very
models and plans and with scarcely a
single alteration.

RUSSIAN NIHILISTS.
The* TraK«*d> From Whflcli the I'arty
mill It H ( rt*«ml S|»ruiiK;.
Who was the first nihilist? How j
and where did nihilism first start? |
These questions arc answered in the |
following narrative:
Exactly forty-three years ago, when
i Mura vie If, the lieutenant of the pres ;
! ent czar's father, was carrying out |
J his cruel and barbaric crusade against i
i I'oles, a young student of that conn- 1
; try attending the University of Dorpat j
| returned home one duy with half a ,
! ilozeu companions, whom he promised j
to entertain In his father's house. ,
Tliey entered, and a ghastly spectacle ,
met their view. The whole family had
been massacred, while the mother and j
sister of the young Pole hud been ■
brutally treated by Muravlefifs cow
I ardly soldiers, drunk with vodka.
The students, who were Russians,
I stood dumb with horror, while the be- I
reared hoy sat down by a little table,
ills head rested on his left hand, 1
while his right ami hung limply by his
side. His companions expected a wild
outburst of rage against themselves
ami their country, but tin* boy did not
speak, lie Just sat there, pale and
deathlike, while tears poured from his
glassy eyes.
One of his friends went over to him
and, touching him on the shoulder,
said:
"Stanislaus! Stanislaus! Come to
yourself again, and we will avenge
this wrong!"
But the boy did not answer. In a
few minutes the tears ceased to flow,
the eyes turned upward, there was u
heavy sigh, and Stanislaus fell dead
from his chuir.
The terrible shock had killed him.
Kneeling round the body of their
dead companion, the Russian students
bound themselves by a solemn oath to
work out the ruin of the tyranny which
had thus disgraced their fatherland.
They secretly met afterward, and their
creed was thought out and settled. It
was the result of careful thought and
was not wildly absurd or hysterical.
It was as follows: "Liberty In reli
gious belief, freedom of the press and
in public meeting, government on the
representative system and the redistri
bution of property." To secure these
things they determined to resort to any
measures even nssassination. And that
has been the creed of the nihilists ever
since.—Pearson's Weekly.
Greek Sailor*.
Sailors of the Grecian archipelago
often equip trading schooners on a
plan of profit sharing after the custom
of New England whalers, and if their
venture proves anything like a suc
cess they cannot easily be induced to
take a berth In the merchant marine of
the western nations. They detest sub
ordination, but a chief cause of tlieir
preference for home enterprise is the
difference of the night watch sy'stem.
For a week or two a Oreek sailor wili
watch all day and sleep all night
emergencies, of course, excepted -then
take his turn at night working and
day sleeping. English, French and
: German captains would dismiss him
; to ills hammock for four l<ours and
I then rout him out in the midst of his
' sweetest sleep. In wages there may
be no great difference, but his exp«-
i rience has convinced him that in the
! long "iiii the long term plan can best
be reconciled with perfect health
f'urloun rantdoi About Hands.
It is a curious paradox that as a
rule, the large handed man loves small
: things, details, exquisitely finished ob
• Jects and Is microscopic in his tenden
cies, while he whose hands are small
delights In colossi of every sort, lov
ing ostentation and display. Immense
houses, majestic estates and all else
that Is upor a great scale. His hand
writing is large and perhaps full of
flourishes, while that of the largw hand
ed man is small and precise.
Simply it Lottery.
I»r. Phaker Take this prescription,
it will either kill or cure you. Patient-
Rut suppose it kills me? I)r. l'baker
' Nothing ventured, nothing gained. My
motto is, "No cure, no pay," so I'm tak
ing a chance as well as you.—Philadel
