FIRESIDE TALKS.
Mr. Perkins Explains About the Win
don Screens.
Mr. urirl Mrs. Perkins were Bitting on
the veranda the other evening in the
gloaming when an overgrown mosquito
that hadn t anytning 10 eat iw i
days came along and inflicted a savage
bite on Mrs. Perkins nec ana uumu
let go till a slap of her hand tiao oro
ken every bone in its body. The inci
dent offered her opportunity to say:
"Joeiah Perkins, do you know that we
fcaven't a screen to a single wmao i.i
this house, -and that from now on the
flies and mosquitoes are going to take
possession of every room.'
'My dear woman." he replied, as he
ettled down in his chair and got reaay
for a talk. "I have been waiting w ex
plain to you." , .
"But no explanation is needed, tier,
are the windows, and here are the Hies
and mosquitoes, and we have no
mrrrens. It was the same way last
year. We had flies by the thousands all
day, and mosquitoes by the hundreds
all night."
Yet there is an explanation. Mrs.
Perkins, and in justice to myself i
must proceed to give it. Not only one
explanation but a dozen of thm-Ti";
to preserve a calm demeanor while I am
talking. The bite of a mosquito s only
a trifling affair. It has been found by
.dentists to be only three per cent ot
ihe bite of a poodle dog. and that what
Jule pain there is is only imaginary.
I expected you'd urge a dozen ex
cuses for your slackness." replied Mrs
Terkins. as he struck at a flying but,
with the book in her hand and knock
ed the unprepared insect ten feet away.
"To begin at the beginning, my dear.
For two years this house has been un
der mortgage. That the money obtain
ed on the mortgage was invested in a
flying machine and that the machine
flew away with it makes no difference.
If it had gone into a walking machine
the results would have probably been
the same. What I wish to make you
understand is that it is poor business
policy to make any improvements on a
house under mortgage. It encourages
the old Shylock holding the mortgage
to believe that his interest will be paid
on the day It s due."
But must we suffer from flies ana
mosquitoes because we are under mort
gage? 1 didn't want to sign the mort
cage. It was only after you had as- ,
cured me tnat you couiu
of a mile a minute that I did sign, lou
never flew a mile a year."
Bitting On the Veranda in the Gloam
ing. "Granted, my dear granted with the
utmost cheerfulness, but that does not
affect my position. In this matter of
screens I am actuated by a business
policy. Old Shylock must not become
too hopeful. To screen our windows
would cost, as I once figured, the sum
of $16. It would give the house an opu
lent look, and us the air of lazy luxur
lousness." "Our cerditors would naturally take
new heart, and I have no doubt that
both our gas and water bills would in
crease as well. Do we want the grocer
and butcher and milkman calling here
to disturb our meditations? Io we
want my tailor and your dressmaker,
who have been dormant for the last
month, to suddenly get the idea that
the flying machine has become a suc
cess after all? Try and look at the
matter from a business point of view."
"It's these mosquitoes I've got to
look at from a biting point of view,"
exclaimed Mrs. Perkins, as she num
bered two more among the dead and
gave a third one the narrowest escape
of his life.
"Whatever improvements are added
to a house under mortgage go with the
house in case the mortgage is fore
closed, and to lay out $16 more would
be poor policy. Next year, if my sub
marine boat proves a success and is
purchased by the German government,
we will screen the doors, windows, ver
anda, grape arbor and the chimneys. I
am glad you brought up the subject
this evening, as I don't want you to
get the idea that I am constitutionally
hostile to window screens. A door or
window screen of vivid green color
lends a charm of picturesqueness. Do
you follow me, Mrs. Perkins?"
"I know that we haven't got a single
screen, and that I shan't sleep two min
utes this night for these infernal in
sects!" she wrathfully replied.
"Now, let us pass to other reasons,"
continued Mr. Perkins, as he repressed
a start over a bite and pretended to
slap his leg in a careless way. "The
bugs flying about in the evening are
rot carnivogous. On the contrary, they
are bugs of peace, and ask only to be
let alone. If they come near you it is
out of curiosity, and not because of a
ferocious disposition. That disposes of
the bugs.
"As for mosquitoes, statistics prove
that only one out of every 250 is after
blood. The other 249 are out for the
evening air. Is it asking too. much that
we dodge four mosquitoes in a thou
sand? Is it any gieat sacrifice to yield
up four drops of blood during an ev
ening, when our veins and arteries are
stocked with gallons of it?
"We have been out here an hour.
During that time you have been bitten
twice ,and lost two tiny drops of blood.
As your weight is close to 200 pounds.
It seems ridiculous and puerile for you
to kick. Even the living skeleton in
the dime museum "
'I told you that you would twist out
of It in some way," interrupted Mrs.
Perkins, as three bugs and four mos
quitoes assailed her at once from dif
ferent directions.
"I am not twisting, my dear, but stat
ing solid facts. Do you know what
ozone is?"
"Yes, and I know what sophistry is."
"Ozone is the life of the air. It has
lately been ascertained by a German
savant that when the ozone comes in
contact with a wire screen it is col
lected and held there against the wires,
while the lifeless air enters the room
to be inhaled. If there were no other
reasons for the absence of screens this
would be sufficient. We must have
ozone. There must be no lifeless air
In our bedroom. Understand, Mrs. Per
kins "
"Oh, I understand. Tou do not mean
to buy any screens."
You axa a little too previous, myi
deal. I was discussing the subject from
m own standpoint, and from what
thought was the best interests of the
family. If you will now convince me
that window and door screens are
necessity they will be put in tomor
row."
rvin't everybody have them?"
Granted, but don't thousands of
people have consumption? You might
ask me it every ooay uiuii i nave a anion
shovel, and I should reply in tne at
firmative, and yet we have not had one
for five years. We have found that.the
public will wade through snow wnen it
is not cleaned off. My point does not
weaken your case, however. You may
for instance; object to a flying-bug
striking your nose in the darkness?
"I most decidedly do," she stiffly re
Dlied. -
"Then let me assure you that It Is
nure accident on the bugs part, ana
that there is nothing malicious about
it. In the darkness he simply mistakes
your face for a sunflower, and wishes
to alight and rest for a wnue. iou
mav also object to the singing of the
mosquito more than his bite? If this is
the case why not also object to Ger
man bands and hand-organs and thus
be consistent? Indeed, objections might
be made to your own music on the
piano. Repeated experiments in Ar-
kansaw, where the mosquito is sup
posed to be at its best, have demon
strated that their singing is only one-
tenth of one per cent as compared with
the wailing of a cat or the howling of
a dog, and yet you do not ask me to
eradicate the cats and dogs from the
land. In one way, my dear woman
you have a case, but in thirty other
ways you should sit here in the gloam
ing and be glaa to De anve.
'Well, you ve wriggiea out or it, ana
hope you reel better."
"There has been no wriggling, Mrs.
Perkins. On the contrary, I have made
out a wonderful and succinct case, and
have kept only one thing in the back
ground. That is, if you should die for
the want of ozone die because tne
screens kept out an tne ute-giving
properties of the night air I should
naturally miss you ror a tew weens,
and then begin to cast about for No.
When she had been discovered
when she had been courted for a rea
sonable length of time when she had
learned to love me for myself alone
Mr. Perkins, said Mrs. Perkins, as
she knocked another bug galley west
and rose up to go into the house, "you
are an idiot!"
"That may be your off-hand opin
ion, Mrs. Perkins." he replied, "but
when we bring argument and sophis
try to bear on the case when we con
sider it from its various standpoints "
But Mrs. Perkins had vanished, and
he had times to attend to the mosquito
that had settled on the back of his
neck and was jabbing in its lance a la
Cossack. (Copyright, 1904, by T. C.
McClure.)
THE COCRTIN' OF "GUTTERS."
I christened her "Glitters" at first
sight. She was bearing tremulous
gold earrings fully two inches long,
and they sparkled and glittered in the
sunlight as she moved her dark,
feather-crowned head. I suppose she
wore a hat. but the effect was prin
cipally feather: also she had some
sort of a bead chain around her neck
glass beads and they flashed and
glittered, too.
Her real name was Jane Em'ly, but
I only discovered that later. For the
rest she was a fine, splendidly formed
young woman. She might have passed
for a Greek goddess Juno, or her
like had she not sold flowers at
Charing Cross and worn a brown
merino skirt and loose white blouse,
for she had really good classical fea
tures and a perfectly magnificent bust
and throat. - -
I used to buy flowers in those days,
great bunches of sweet, strong smell
ing stocks, more delicate and fra
grant pink carnations, masses of pale
pink and deep crimson roses, for
Cynthia loved flowers and I loved
Cynthia.
My first acquaintance- with "Glit
ters" had something sensational' about
it. I was nearly the hero' of a street
fight. A coster belaboring a small
and excessively patient donkey had
aroused my wrath, and the same
stalwart gentleman was inviting me
to take off my coat and have it out
with him and I itched to do it, too,
although I wore black cloth when
"Glitters" intervened.
She swept out from the crowd of
onlookers, a perfect hurricane in pet
ticoats, and with black flashing eyes,
and rough edge of tongue, told the
coster plainly what she thought of
him. Before she had finished I felt
sorry for the man absolutely sorry.
Here was a splendid young woman
telling him the most unpleasant
facts about himself, and the crowd,
being with "Glitters," applauded
every point.
With the appearance of a leisurely
policeman her harangue ceased, and
as the crowd melted and a dejected
coster drove a small donkey on,
"Glitters" turned to me, flushed with
triumph.
"That's all right, guv'nor; I kin
do 'lm any di, that lot dirty beast.
Will you 'ave a flower, sir?"
With this professional cry, "Glit
ters" rtumed to her normal occupa
tion, and, as she skillfully wired a but
tonhole of lilies of the valley for me,
I endeavored to form some idea of
her character. She evidently mis
trusted rpe at first, for when I hinted
out a wish for better acquaintance
she flushed angrily, and judged me
by my clerical garments as a netter
of souls on the warpath.
"I ain't a-goin' to none of your
missions not me," she cried, with a
fine burst of temper. "You parsons
are all alike with your missions,
tryin to make us be'ave like mealy
mouthed humbugs, an' I don't want
no truck with you or your likes.'
It took a few seconds to convince
"Glitters" of her mistake, and a hint
about a young lady for whom I
should need to buy flowers delighted
her. Where's the woman who does
not anticipate a love story? Before I
had bought a bunch of delightful,
fresh smelling daffodils, "Glitters"
was smiling archly, and when I
turned to go, carrying my spoils, she
proffered me a bunch of violets as
a free-will offering, saying simply,
"For your young lidy, sir." The ro
mance to her mind was concluded.
I told Cynthia all about the little
adventure as she arranged the daffo
dils in a quaint, high, brown jar, and
she smiled prettily and tucked "Glit
ters' " violets into the bosom of her
dress. She was wearing a pale mauve
frock, I remember, and looking de
lightfully pretty, as she always did. I
contrasted her delicate pink and white
loveliness with the flower girl's ruddy
health and comely strength; both wo
men made in the same mold, and yet
the differencec of all the world be
tween them. I wondered vaguely if
Cynthia would ever repent her prom
ise to marry a poor clergyman, and
sigh for the luxury of this west end
drawing room when queening it in my
east end vicarage in the remote fu
ture. "You do love me. Cynthia, dar
ling?" I cried hungrily.
She moved gently toward me, her
silk skirts rustling, the faint odor of
her favorite perfume pervading the
air. When she reached my side Bhe
kissed my forehead softly.
"Foolish boy," she whispered, "don't
I love you with all my heart?"
I remember straining- her in my

arms till she laughed and pleaded for
mercy.
My acquaintance with "Glitters"
progressed. I learned that she was one
of four sisters, all three married save
herself. When I expressed surprise
that she' belonged to the army of
bachelor maids a toss of her head re
warded me. .
"Wish I may die furst." said "Glit
ters." "W'hat's the blessed - good of
getting married? A lot of kids and
more kicks than ha' pence."
Her. suramins up. if crude, was
fairly true. The position of the east
end: wife and mother has Its draw-v
backs, and when she went on to tell
me in strong and forcible lansruaere
tnat one or her brothers-in-law was
doing time for knocking his wife about
and badly damaging her eye, and that
anotner was rarely sober more than
twice a week, I mentally agreed that
celibacy had Its advantages. Yet there
was such womanliness in the girl s
smile, and such generous hint in the
swelling bust, that one felt sorry for
sweetness wasted. .
Time passed, and with great diplo
macy I managed to persuade "Glit
ters" to come to a big parish tea that
was to signal my arrival at my new
rectory. It was a far cry from Drury
Lane to Stepney, but "Glitters" came,
and. strange to say, escorted by a red
faced and hugely embarrassed young
coster. She had previously asked me
if she might bring a paT, but somehow
or other I had expected to see another
lady of plush and feathers.
When I made my next floral pur
chase, I laughingly rallied her on the
subject. To my surprise, she flushed
crimson.
"Git out," was her first smartly de
livered retort; "I'm no such bloomin'
fool as to marry. If ever you ketch
me messin' abaht wi 'that cove
agin " Her silence was eloquent.
"Have you refused the poor fellow?
Oh, Glitters! Glitters! and after rais
ing his hopes by letting him escort
you! --A nice looking chap, too, broad
and of good inches."
"Yus, he do look nobby," agreed
"Glitters," with a slight sigh; then her
voice hardened. "P'raps I mayn't
never see him no more an' I wish I
could sling my 'ook I do but I won't
never marry."
Her full lips closed sullenly, and I
remembered the tragedy of a drunken
father and sadly abused mother that
must have darkened the girl's youth.
Speech on the subject was useless, so
I forebore.
It must have been some time in
October when I ran across "Glitters' "
coster again. Yes, I know it was
October, because my own wedding was
fixed for the middle of December, and
Cvnthia had only just settled the date.
Poor coster boy, he had been hardly
treated, for since our last meeting Fate,
in the guise of a runaway van, had
dashed him to the ground, and crip
pled him for life. He was hobbling
along on crutches, and told me he had
only been out of the nospitai a ween.
I forbore to speak to him of "Glitters;!;
that subject might be raw yet. When
asked what he was going to do for a
living, he spoke bravely on the subject
of the sale of papers, looking curiously
bright and contented. I marveled at
his courage, and after asking him to
come and look me up, turned on my
heel, and left him, wondering at the
patience or the poor and the strange,
pathetic resignation to trouble.
A fortnight later I was buying a great
bunch of vivid autumn foliage one
read the date of the year In "Glitters' "
big basket when I suddenly became
conscious of a change In the girl's face.
It had grown far softer, all its frank
boldness gone. Also there was some
thing delightful In her smile, a depth, a
warmth lacking before. Her very voice
had changed; it was not half so self
assertive, yet had more strength in it.
I looked at "Glitters." Her eyes fell
before mine and a great wave dyed her
face, even to the white throat barely
hid by her kerchief. Then she smiled,
a slow, conscious smile, and laughed a
little nervously.
" 'Ave some vilets, sir; jlst a penny
bunch for the lidy."
"Glitters," I remarked sternly, "I am
not to be put off in that crafty fashion.
What have you been doing with VotTr
self to look so happy?"
"Lord love you, sir 'ow you do go on!
Did you want the vilets?"
Ah, the mystery was out, for. holding
up a bunch of sweet purple violets.most
among green leaves, "Glitters" betray
ed her secret.
"Why are you wearing a wedding
ring, madam?" I asked, smiling.
"D'yer think I was a-going to see 'lm
down on his luck and not comfort 'im?
Lay your life not. Why! I love 'im nil
the time, but nfver so much as ncV..
Thank yer, sir," for I had grasped her
hands, and stood holding them tightly;
"thank yer kind."
"And, Glitters, my dear, splendid girl,
you are happy?" I cried; "really and
truly happy?"
" 'Appy?" her whole face lighted up.
"S'elp me. Gawd, I'm 'appy there, now,
you've got it straight."
I took off my hat to this daughter of
the people, as to a queen In her own
right .and walked away, glad that I had
seen how grand a woman can be. When
I reached home I found a letter from
Cynthia awaiting me. I knew the large
handwriting, the blue crest, and the
faint perfume that always clung to her
notes, and I seized on it eagerly, for I
had found her out when I called.
A quite short letter, merely breaking
off the engagement on the score of 'he
worldly wisdom of "mamma," and Cyn
thia's distaste for gray poverty and
soup kitchens. I was stiinned for a sec
ond, then I remembered how often I
had met Lord Ancaster with Cynthia
lately and I saw clearly at last
I tore up the letter into tiny frag
