when the announcement that “tickets

the heat of the discussion iu the inter

sharply:
"My lord. It isn’t right for you to use

The instruments used by jstsous are
almost emblematic. They can become
a part of themselves, an expression of
their ideas and of their personality.”
Lord Pauneefote smiled, but said
nothing.
The following day his critic, wanting
to write something, turmsl to Hie Fug
lish diplomat to borrow a pen. The
embassador pulled out of bis pocket an
old fashioned pen made of gr.-i V gOOHC
quill, and after the borrower had tin

"Monsieur, It isn’t right for you to

Judging by a good deul of the con
versatlon of the present day, there are
it large number of people who have a
positive horror of home. This curious
revulsion of feeling Is taken by many
per-ons as a sign of social deterlora
Hon. For our own part we find It ditfl
cult to take it quite seriously or to see
in It anything more than a passing
w lilui.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony,
Change is wluit people desire—not per
Imps any great change, but lots of
small change; not necessarily for the
belter, but for Its own sake. Now,
there Is a great sameness about one’s
own four walls, be they ever so Initial
some. We all feel at times an overpow­
erlug desire to look at something else.
We cannot change the patterns or the
pictures on them every day. and neither
they nor ttie home furniture ever seems
to alter in expression.
Again, there is n terrible sameness
about one’s own cook. Experience ena­
bles us to foretell the taste of every­
thing at home, from the soup to the sa­
vory if we are rich mid from the mut­
ton to the cheese If we are [HMtr;
whereas if wo dine at a restaurant
everything down to the salt Is differ­
ent, and the restaurant is refurnished
dully with new faces.
Then, again, the music and stir going
on around one avoid the necessity for
much conversation. and conversation
in the home circle Is sometimes diffi­
cult mid sometimes dull. It does not do
always Just to say what one thinks. It
Is such bad practice for dining out,
and. this being the case, it is not easy
sometimes to think what to say.
Nowadays we get, socially speaking,
tired of our friends ami even of our ac­
quaintances. We want them to pass
continually before us like a street pro­
cession. Instead of Hint they rather
resemble a stage crowd and keep com­

we know, a limit even to those wo
should like or should be likely to know
even by sight, and ut u restaurant this
latter limit is disregarded. Tlie burrier
of good milliners which forbids that
those w ho are acquainted with one an­
other should speak is sufficient to pro­
tect our station or our dignity, but it
is not a very high fence, and it is one
which it is amusing to look over.—Lon­

WASHINGTON LETTER NEW SHORT STORIES
[Special Correspondence. J

Tbe presidential parrot objects to
the remodeling of the White House.
\\ lien the workmen assaulted the roof
of the conservatory and began remov­
ing Hi«- glass, the bird liecame wrathy
ami abused the mechanics. She has a
fluent vocabulary of vituperation, but
her choicest epithets were learned in
Cuba and are expressed in elegant
Castilian, so that the finer feelings of
tlie workmen were not too much
shocked.
Still at every unpleasant
noise Polly vociferated. Shut up!"
Finally the bird took to careering
through the conservatory and fre
quenlly in its rage biting off tlie small
er branches of the plants, She was
captured and tethered by u short string
to a remote pereli. Polly seemed to be
humiliated, as heretofore she has had
tlie free range of tlie conservatory.
After she became a chained prisoner
her vivacity deserted her.
When strangers approached, no vio­
lent language was used. Polly hid her
head under her wing or drooped it be­
tween her feet and simply muttered
her wrath. This parrot is a native Cu­
ban and was sent to President Roose
velt about six months ago.
-The tragic death of the novelist Paul
Leicester Ford has recalled to those
who knew him many anecdotes of bis
ways and somewhat quaiut sayings.
Kate Douglas Wiggin, who was one
if his most Intimate friends, both of
them being associated In work in the
college settlement and tlie day ii uraer
les. says:
"I remember when Mr. Ford first
moved over to New York, Before that
he had lived at his father’s home in
Brooklyn, where I have frequently en­
tered the great hook lined library only
to think the servant must have been
mistaken who bad told me that the
master of the house was at work there.
He was so diminutive that it did not
take a very high desk to hide him com­
pletely from view.
Well, when he
moved over there it was ’Janice Mere­
dith’ that had made him the money
sufficient to build the bouse on Sev­
enty-seventh street, and he always re­
ferred to that home as ’Miss Mere­
dith’s present to me.’’’
Another of the man’s queer habits
was that of having three or four desks
in the room where he did his writing.
Whenever he grew tired of his work,
or when perhaps the inspiration ceased
to move him. he would get up, light a
cigar, move over to some other desk
and go ahead with fresh Interest and
success.
