SOWARDS COAL COMPANY Little Lady in Lavender By Dorothy Douglas The Fifth avenue bus plowed its drunken way up the avenue, careless of jolts to its passengers. The little lady in lavender jerked and beamed upon the world in gen- eral. She was enjoying everything in the big city, from jolts to the chiff- on Hngerie displayed so tastefully in the shop windows. 7 The only thing she was missing ter- ribly was some ope to chat with. Hur big son, with whom she had come t0 the city for a month or two, was al- ways down in the turmoil of business, and even had he been beside her duf- ing her thrilling trips down the ave: nue he could hardly be expected 0 echo her own excited interest in the pretties. Edith Vance boarded 'the stage at Fifty'seventh street, and because of the inviting manner in which the lit- tle lady in lavender drew aside her skirts, she took the seat beside het. . Perhaps, too, it was just because, way back in the dreams of her, Edna. bad pictured just such a litt}e mother as this. Hereaved early in life, kha 'had missed that greatest of all friendships, paldom, love--that of & mother. - Her father, precious beyoad all fathers, had tried to play the double role and had succeeded to as great an extert as any human being could. But the joy of shopping for an eve- ning gown, a-wrap to go with it and perhaps one's winter furs was merely a mechanical necessity without mother to help select and offer ju i; ment. w Thus it was that an unusually jo'ly Jolt of the stage flung the two into conversation. It was only a begin- ning, but before Thirty-fourth street was reached the little lady in laven- dér, or Mrs. Jackson, as she was known, and Edith Vance were deep in confidences When Edith arrived home and told her father of the litfie lady in lavender whom she had met, and who was so full of sparkle and charm, he replied: "Few girls have half the sparkle and charm of you, dear." "Flatterer!" she admonished lov- ingly. Rut it would seem as if that same sparkle and charm found its way into the heart of John Vance almost imi- mediately he met the little lady whom his daughter had been speak- ing of. They were chatting over the tea like two magpies, and their smiles for each other were very ldvely to see. / David and Edith, sitting a short distance from them, glanced at them from time to time, and in their own eyes were reflected, it a trifle mistle ly, a smile of curious contentment: "I have known my dad to be un- utterably lonely at times," Edith sald softly, and with a loneliness I, being of the younger genefation, cannot fill in.

Wonderful Carillon of Bells Propose od for Washington. BE. W. Denilson Taylor, a carillon bell expert and manufacturer Loughborough, England, recently went to Washington, D.C., to consult with the authorities there, relative to the erection of a memorial bell town and the installing therein of a caril- lon set of bells, Although the tower is to hold 75 toms of bells, there are to be no deat- ening reverberations. This" result will be obtained by the construction bells, It is likely that the windows of the tower will begin at about the height where the smal] treble bells hang. Thus the. tories of the larger bells hung lower in the tower will rise in the shaft with the othér tones and issue from the windows in perfect ac. cord with the lesser bells. The bells will be cast so as to get overtones in true musica] relation to the fundamental notes. Each bell wilt have two harmonies--the same tone will sound in three octaves, and by a system, of bell tuning, the sound vibration can be measured. The clappers will not be allowed to swing loose or to come down with a great clatter of sound, but will be | held one or two inches away from the bells 80 that when the player at the clavier or keyboard presses a key, the clapper will strike the bell for-| cibly, but softly, The largest bell in the proposed Washington carillon is to weight 22,- 900 pounds; and the carillon' will have a range equal to a piano, with all the half tones, so that any' com position playable on a plano can be How to Manage the Mahe Cities.
