THE EVENING STORY
, THE MARSHALLS
Copyright, 1914, by W. Werner.
ROSEMONT is a pleasant little sub
urb, but Its residents are not oVer
- burdened with cash. They bought
their homes many years ago. via the
. monthly payment plan. An artistic
real estate man laid Rosemont out and,
then sold It for considerable profit, so
, that he now is able to live on Long
Island himself. By the time that most
of them got through paying they were
a bit exhausted and didn't care much
; that front yards needed lawn seed and
back yards needed fences and parlors
needed curtains and houses needed
paint. Everybody shambled along and
" lived as romfortable as they could, and
talked about what a pretty place Rose
mont would be when they all got to
1 ' getter and "fixed up."
' Then the Marshalls moved out there.
The family consisted of Mrs. Marshall,
i a pale, tired, elegant woman; Mr. Mar
shall, a . sallow, petulant, stately man;
. Alice Marshall, aged 16, a slim, pale
' girt, whose underclothes were hand
embrofdered and whose shoes wero

Before three days elapsed Rosemont
Was flushing with shame and feeling
the stings of ' poverty as It had never
, felt tbera In all its laboring but un-
sensitive past. The" Marshalls had
bought the old Lane place, a shabby,
large bouse. In It they moved two
Carloads of mahogany furniture, ori

Krupp armored, with a - fj Inch" belt

She carried 10 13.5inch guns, lo

mostly the "movies" decanters, stat

oil paintings that Rosemont' looked at a
bit sullenly .they were so very big and
the frames were so" very goldly and
wide. And all the other articles that
you'd like to buy if you had money. .
Rosemont looked and was cast down.
In a week it knew that it was shabby
and poor and shiftless,
, "Just shiftless, that's the only word,'
said Mrs. Cary bitterly, first to Jennv
Cary, who retorted, "Mamma, I, got to
have new hair ribbons.. I'm sick. 1
was so . ashamed yesterday. Alice
Marshall has got 'em 12 Inches wide,
and she wears different ones' every
day." And Mr. Cary retorted, "I know
it. But I don't see how I can do .any
airrerent. with the high cost of llv
ing and there's always 20 bookkeepers
to take a fellow's place if he asks for
a raise." And then Mr. Cary, stoop
shouldered and with hair getting gray,
rushed to the "L" and enviously saw
Mr. Marshall swing down the avenue
In a glistening new roadster.
Bo Mrs. Cary said it again to Mrs.
Wilson across the street, who said In
reply. "Sure we're shiftlesB. And Door

goodness, what's the use of papering
our dining room when the paint has all
peeled off outside of the house, and
goodness knows when we'd ever buy
the paint, let alone getting it on."
Which tirade somehow comforted both
Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Cary.
The Marshalls were not purse-proud
nor' stand-offish. They were friendly,
sociable, almost wistfully sociable it
seemed. jOtherwise Rosemont could
have solaced Itself by ignoring them.
But Mrs. Marshall joined' the Ladles'
Civic club and paid her dues three
years in advance. Mr. Marshall wan
generous with seat room in his, road
ster, and Baker, Cary and others saved
"L" fare once or twice a week. Alice
Marshall never seemed to know that
she was in a class apart from the other
high school girls. Robert Marshall
stone kept to himself . and evidently
didn't like to spoil his expensive clothes
by playing with the other boys.
Yet for all the Marshall's condescen
sion they never quite bridged the dis
tance between themselves and the
others, A gap remained. And it was
a gap lined with envy, walled with
mean feeltaig and floored with discon
tent. The folks of Rosemont had, of
course, always known that the world
held rich, satisfied people, but they
had never been brought in such close
contact before. And the envy which
had been abstract with luxury a long
way off became specifically rankling
with heavy luxury stuck under Rose
mont's nose.
Rosenfont at first tried to Improve
Itself, but very soon sat down idly.
It simply didn't bave the money, it
was all Rosemont could do to buy

that there was any tangible reason,

Gradually Mr. and Mrs. Marshall
came to be let alone. They didn't

that money they doubtless had plenty

wondered why they had selected so

Then Mr. Cary bustled home one
night with important news fairly ra

Rosemont the next day went around

Hy Herbert Corey. S !
Amsterdam. Oct. 28. This is really!
the story of a royal family in diffi
culties. It goes to prove that it is
mighty hard to be a king or queen
nowadays. One so seldom has his or
her own way. Just incidentally it
shows that Holland is against Ger
many to the last Dutchman and dike
very irearly the last. So is Queen
Wilhelmina and her consort of Meck-
lenburg-Schwerin. They had to be.
Before all this war trouble began
Holland liked Germany very well. In
deed. There were reasons for it. There
are ties of blood and language and
propinquity and business. The Rhino
flows for a part of its course through
Dutch territory. German' steamships.
carried cargoes on it to and front
Dutch ports. i
There was also the court.
Boyal Families a Habit.
In times of peace the Dutchmen paid
a certain courteous attention to their
court. Royal families are an acquired
habit with the Hollanders, as raw to
matoes are with some folk. The past
has shown that the Dutchmen can
shuck off a habit of this sort over
night. But when there is nothing of
real Importance roing on a court is
a nice thing to have around. It saves
one from wondering whether white
gloves "may be worn with a .dinner
Jacket. The Dutchmen permitted the
court to do a good deal of their think
ing for them, along similarly lnconse
quential lines.
Wilhelmina of Holland has not been
popular with her people, in spite of
the belief that has grown up in Amer
ica. The queen is a lady of singularly
set Ideas. She has theories of divine
right and that sort of thing that do
not fit well In democratic little Hol
land. Also she does not make a direct
appeal to the eye. Much may be for
given a lady monarch who Is tall, lis
some, and has melting eyes. Nor do
her mental qualities attract.
"I bave attended three command
performances , of the opera,'' said an
Amsterdam gentleman. "I'll never go
again."
That called for an explanation.
She Never See a Joke.
"It isn't etiquette to applaud before
the queen does." said he. ' "No mat
ter how Well the actors work or .the
hands folded in her , lap, staring
hands folded in - her lap, staring
straight ahead of her. She doesn't
care for the theatre or opera. She
only goes twice or three times a year,
because it Is a custom."
, Something still rankled with him.
"You mustn't laugh before the queen
does, either." said he. "And she never
saw a Joke In her life."
So her Influence has been negligible.
But again contrary to what we have
been taught in the states that Meck-lenburg-Schwerin
consort of hers has
made himself most popular. Perhaps
the tender-hearted Dutch ladles were
rather sorry for him. It was gen
erally understood that Wilhelmina pre
ferred his elder brother almost to the
point of being unpleasant about it.
Aleo the consort was slender when he
was a youth, and had beautiful eyes.
Nowadays Dutch sentiment regarding
him is expressed thus?
"He's a mighty good fellow."
Consort Favored Germany.
Naturally enough, a Mecklenburg
Schwerin found the friends of his
youth companionable in bis maturity.
German noblemen were his favored
companions. Germans 'were " continu
ally at court. The court circle thought
and talked German. Not long ago the
process of reuniformin r tbe Dutch
army' in the German miJK-gray began.
There were people wbft thought that
significant. But all the time tbe prince
consort did not neglect his Dutch pay
masters. He made himself well liked.
When the war began Holland was
with Germany In a placid sort of way.
She didn't bother herself over the huge
questions of right and wrong. White
ljapers and blue papers "were showered
upon her by the warring governments,
and she didn't bother tn read them.
But when Germany began to heavy
shoe through - Belgium she waked up..
In part, no doubt, she was influenced
by pity for the Belgians, although
Holland has never liked Belgium or tbe
Belgians. In greater part she saw her
self as the next small neutral to be
taken apart.
The Dutch say themselves that they
haven't enough imagination to be
afraid. Whether that la true r not.

Do. not tie impatient. We are com
ing to the coiirt ' :
Wilhelmina is Dutch, and as a mat
ter of course loyal to-her country.- But
the Dutch felt tlfat her German hus
band had persuaded her that the best
interests of Holland could be served
by preserving a certain friendliness for
Germany. . The , story goes that she
urged ' that point of view In certain
cabinet meetings. The Dutch counsel
lors heard her gravely. Then: . : -
"The people." saldi the's'e, unroyalis
cabinet members, "have , intrusted us
with the duty of- directing the course

consort remember, too. She plunged
herself Into rood- works, and .won a
popularity Bhe had previously lacked'
by her attention to the soldiers and
their needs. Thte nrlnco eonsort . did
likewise, and said nothing. It was an
unpleasant position for a pair tbat rule

themselves. . Wilhelfnina has held to
