"I am not sure yet." John never wants to be asked to go anywhere or to do anything that he considers would be a favor te those about him. He is generous, however, in doing things for every one in his own way and at his own time, but it never seems to enter his head that there are times when it would be a greater favor and much more generous of him to do the things that his wife or his mother wanted at that moment. "I told you I was very busy," he said, "why don't you go over and 8ee to the house ¥# you want any- thing done." "I shall go later," I said, "but I have to nurse and bathe.the baby and get her settled for the day." i"I can't understand what we pay trained nurse prices for a woman to take care of Mary If you bathe her and dress her yourself, 1 should think some young girl could take leare of her just as well as Miss Par- ker if you are going to do all the im- portant things." Never Would Be Happy. "A 'young girl would assume no re- sponsibility. I would never be happy a moment while I was away. Besides, there are complications which even I would know nothing about. Two or three times I am sure Miss Parker has saved Mary from the croup by noting symptoms that meant nothing to me." "Never mind your long-winded ex- planations, Katherine. I have told you two or three times I am in a hurry. What do you want.me to do over at the house? You kave al- ready given me enough to do all morning in looking up this freight and getting it over to the house. Now what else have you on your a9 I had forgotten about telling him that my furniture from home had come, "1 merely thought if you were go- ing over to the house that you could air out the house for a little while. Oh, you have forgotten the way bills for the freight," I suddenly remem- bered. "Here they are." "I don't know whether I will have time to take care of this furshiturs or not," said John impafiently, and then I knew that he intentionally had left the way bills with me, thinking probably I would attend to it. "Oh, all right, do it when you choose. I thought you were in a hurry to get into the house," I said. No Time To Do It. "Here, give them to me," sald John, jerking them out of my hand. "I will get someone to fix it up I I haven't got time to do it myse! I turned in silence and went to my rooms, I had caught cold the day before and the baby wag fretting. Miss Parker was arranging to keep rer quiet all I knew I sg ould have to write to Charles, but it was a hard letter to compose, I still was proud enough not to want Charles to know how John had hurt me by selling the house without telling me, but I also wanted to thank him for his great kindness in buying it. Then I had to decline, delicately, the gift of it while still making him feel that I did not.underrate his goodness in any particular. I wonder how many: times a 'wo- man puts on a smiling face to the world and tries to make her friends think that she is perfectly happy and content with all the things that her husbam is doing and saying, while in her heart she is more hurt that ghe will acknowledge even to herself. However, I put these thoughts from me and sat down at the little writing desk in the hotel room, for writing to Charles just then seemed the duty that lay nearest me.

Indeed, one of the leading novelties of a current New York musical revue is the musi-| cal carpenter, who uses his saw as a violin. After protracted experimentation and untiring practice, Sam Moore of New York City has succeeded in get- ting very agreeable music from the ordinary carpenter's saw. He holds the saw handle between his legs, holds the tip of the saw in one hand and works the usual violin bow with the other. The vibrating steel blade emits soft, appealing notes, the pitch of which is varied by changing the curvature of the blade. sorts of queer effects can be obtained by the adept manipulation of the blade; in fact, the music derived by this means can hardly be described. it anything, it resembles the human voice, then again it has the queer 'wall of the Hawaiian Ukelele. All in all, the effect is startling and pleasing. 'Why She Pawned Fiddle, There seems to be limitations to the endurance of & musician, -how- ever kindly hé may be disposed. And this was the reason why a certain musician recently summoned his | wife to court. In reciting the story of his troub- les, he stated that he had endured to be still in existence in the house of a Scottish squire near Biggar. Music Among the Bolsheviks. The magazine section of. the New York Sun World: recently carried la [very interesting interview with Nina Tarasova, the Russian folk song and ballad singer under the heading 'Debuts in Bolshevikia." Asked for an account of singing con- ditions among the Bolsheviki she replied with the story of a musical day in Red Russia. "I set out for Petrograd," "she began, "accompan- fed by the 'manager, who arranged for my appearances are we went a- long--the usual Russian method of li presbytery of St. Andrew's is said All| concert' touring. The state of things all over the country was at the same time dreadful and absurd, and my recitals were set in surroundings of picturesque excitment. At Krech, a lively town in the Erimea, I found a day crowded with experiences that made it an epitome of my concert tour among the Reds. So I will tell you that I arrived at Krech and found a group of Bolshevik officials at the railroad station to meet me. 1 was surprised and mervous at the attention of the gentlemen. They were commissars of the nsual type, rough looking fellows, some in non- descript civilian clothes and some in the old uniform of sailors of the Black Sea Fleet. But they were ex- cessively gallant, and said they had in silence the ignominy of having to] pro wash dishes, scrub floors, and do laundry work. This, he said, he did because, when he refused, his wife would beat him up. However, the cause hat broke 4p such domestic felicity as he possessed, it seems was not the bottle with which he stated his wife used to comb his hair, but the theft of his fiddle, which he claimed his wie took and pawned. The wife in her defence, pleaded that the miusic on that fiddle had ed comfortably. word literally with respect to this last item. The local hotel was ecrqwded---no accommodations.
