In my country Inexperience, I thought a new heaven and a new earth had opened It was all so magnificent. Great banks of hot-houpe flowers ming led sweet odors with exotic perfumes of the East, great palms towered far above our heads to the vaulted roof, the slitter of a thousand licht-s sparked In one great chandelier beneath the dome. INFU'KNVE OF Ml'SIC. And the peoplol At softy-shaded. lamp Jit tables there they sat and oh! the beauty of the women! I know I aw them all through rose-colored glasses that night, to me It was all rvjuleur-de-Rose and the strains of a dear Hun garian melody were drifting from floor to gallery and dome. A pompous waiter waved us to a tiny table, rose-wreathed, rose-lit mirrors, mirrors everywhere, and 3 looked strangely shabby In that gay trowd. And then the red-coated leader of the orchestra stepped forward and the mustc changed. It began with a vague sigh- jng of tho wlnd-Instrumenta, like the arly sttrnnss in a wood In autumn, when four-footed furry little creatures pro stealthily stalking over the fallen Vug-mj rtle. and feel the fresh keen tars of autumn '.n the air and then 1 1 aden.e deepened as the 'cellos softly I caught the melody. It was ull a Dreul" h shadow, so softly did they start. Arm i then my heart leaped stranjely, for t"i ' Tiolln obllsato swelled louder It was the isreat "Barcarolle" of Offenbach, that wild sweet melody t mt hulili the teau. the heart-throbs of a universe! At first It softly rose and fell rose and fell, w.:h ' r tender lilting cadence that refused to j,lungo beneath the surface of things, hut that held that gay crowd. In the hush of a sudden silence 1 could still hear the autumn stirrings In my English forest, nnd see the quiet unfolding of the little wood-sorrel as It raised Its pink faie ai 3 tender foliage to the morning sun. And then, on a sudden sobbing breath, the muslo rose on a higher key no words of mine could give Its passion and its pain nor yet Its wild exultant beaut ' Up through the glittering gallery, up through the lofty palm trees and tne great arched roof it drifted, I think i the very gates of heaen! It filled n with a yearning and a pain, and ei a strange new ecstacy I could not fathom neside us at the nearest table sat a. slender lovely girl In a tose-pink gown nnd by her side an eager boy, a typical London youth, with a keen, clever fae and tine dark eyes. As the melody rose and fell, rose and fell, I taw him sud denly grasp her sllra hand In his big strong, sunburnt one. Higher and higher the cadenco rose, and in It was the love that many waters cannot quench, and many floods can never hope to drown. Then suddenly, on one breathless note vibrating with a tender passion, the mu slo paused and on that passionate note the boy leant forward. "Leonora, Leonoral" said he breathlessly.

ANNA SHAW Is JXow Traveling in Xorthwcst Slutc?, Where Question of Voles for Women Will be Fought Oul at ihc Next Election. That valiant - hearted. Indefatigable worker In tho woman's cause, the Rev. I5r. Anna Shaw, Is once more out upon her travels, and undergoing as arduous a campaign as any soldier In the tlmo of war. For she is no longer young, and her plan of action is as strenuous and exhaustive as any man could ever hope to undertake. Every night, from September 1 till No vember 1, she has addressed, and will continue to address, largo meetings, end here comes tho salient point in a differ ent town every night. For she is cam paigning through seven States; First, in South Dakota, with all its towns; then North Dakota, Montana, Nevada, Nebras ka, Missouri and Ohio. In all those States th great nuestlon of woman's suffrage Is to be submitted to tho voters, and sometimes Miss Shaw speaks as often a. six times In one day. On her arrival at one town, the follow ing arduous program awaited her She had arrived In South Dakota at 10 o'clock in the morning, somewhat exhausted after her four and a hnlf days' train Journey, and was Informed that she was to ad dress the high school students at 12 o'clock, to attend a large luncheon party at 1 o'clock, to address the Women's Club at 3 o'clock, a street meeting at 7 o'clock and later on a large meeting In the Opera House. After a four and a half days' Journey such a program might well fatigue many a younger man or woman But Miss Shaw enjoyed herself thoroughly, and came through with flying colors. 'Within the last week she has spoken In three differ ent towns In on- day, and on more than one occasion six times on the same day The career of the Rev. Dr. Anna Shaw is so welt known to the Philadelphia pu )llc thar It needs little detailing. She is an Englishwoman, a graduate In medi cine of Boston University, u graduate from the theological department of Hus ton University and president of the Na tional Suffrage Association of the United States. Upon her the Kansas University conferred the degree of Doctor of Di vinity. Miss Shaw would have made a sp en did lawyer, for she possesses great pnw ers of oratory, a strong sense of Justi'-e anJ a real gift in debate Mthoagh a suffragist, she Is far fiom being a mili tant, and, Indeed, there Is no necessity for militancy, for no suffrage, campaigner has ever been refused an utidlcnie at Washington. During her piesent tour, In addition to her lecturing in towns, Miss Shaw gives speeches from the rear platform of the train at the different railroad stations the train may paust at en route. A band Is frequently engaged to play at such a stopping place, so that Miss Shaw may hae a fair slzeu audience waiting for her, and although she often luis only time for a three minutes' address en thus'.ism is always creat and she. gets a cordial welrome. In this way she fre quently tncluder thiee or four minor towns In a slnsle Journey. The vute has been granted to women in ten dltftnent States now, and it Is hoped that this year will include many other States. Miss Shaw came to America from Eng land with her parents at the ago of four. They were shipwrecked at Quecnstown and had to put in to Spike Island, where the child witnessed a curious and de pressing sight, which was ever after to Influence her future life and work. Doz ens and dozens of weary prisoners spent the long day In drawing water up from the tea at one side of the Island then walking across and emptying their buck ets Into the sen on the other side of thi Island. This dreadful waste of energy, this purposeless soul-kllllng activity, deeply Impressed the little girl, and In later years her great Interest In prisoners ai.d prison work was the outcome ot this early episode. In character Miss Shaw Is simple and unaffected, with a strong love for her home and her fi lends. She enjoys noth ing better than the entertaining of young and merry people, and In her beautiful home at Media many pleasant parties take place. This domestic side In tho brilliant woman's character makes It very hard for her to have to leave her home so often and for such long periods. Her love of gardening Is another tie to lume life, and her present great regrot Is that the tour sho has now embarked upon will prevent her seeing the ripening of her fruit trees and the beauty of the Media orchard In fall. Of Miss Shaw's strong sense of humor many good tales are told. When she first started In college she wore her hair cut short, und once at a Chautauqua gather ing a pushing young man said to her: " were Just discussing nnd wondering why some women wear short hair. I am sure Miss Shaw, you would not wear ours so without some very good season. Won't ou tell mo what that reason Is?" To nhiuh impertinence tho lady replied: "I tati erv sensitive about It, but. slnca ou ash me I will tell von' It was a Hiiii-iiarh I was born that way!" Dealers Anticipate Rise in Prices Next Week Mar ket Basket Quotations Show Little Change.

THIS IS THE TIME TO PLACE ALL BULB Pi ANTS Better Results Can Be Had If Soil Is Prepared. Tulip and hyacinth, narcissus and daf fodil, the little crocus that has such an audacious air us it pops up through the snow to greet tho spring, now Is the time to plant them all. They are all bulb plants that repay ono generously for tho Ilttlo trouble in preparing the soil They will grow uln.ust everywhere, but it goes without sajlng that the flowers will be largo and fine if tho ground in which they arc planted has had some special pieparation. Tho earth should be spaded for eight or ten Inches; It should be enriched with a fertilizer of some kind at that depth, and If a little sand Is placed be neath the bulb itself, so much the bet Ur. This will prevent the bulbs from rotting. If heavy rains should follow too .oon on the planting. Six Inches deep nnd six In hes npart Is the rule for planting hyacinths. Tulip- inn ie ilati'.ii . -'hex deep nnd four Inches apart They both need sunshine, but the snowdrop and the cro cus can be scattered over the ground or along hedges, or even between evergreens, and yet come up smiling. There are many varieties of bulbs, and some of the Dutch kinds are especially expensive. But crocus and narcissus bulbs can be bought for 10 and 15 cent3 a dozen. Single tulips and the Roman hyacinth are to be had for S3 cents a dozen. The price of tho double tulip and the double hyacinth depends on the na tionality of the bulb and tho fame of Its orlglnnl exploiter, but a dollar and a half a dozen Is a fair avcrag price. Gardening is regarded by many people ns an expensive hobby to ride, but not by physicians. It means sunshine and tresh air and an Interest in tho out-of-doors. It Ih really nip'e than an Interest, for tho woman who plants a garden lives In u state of constant and thrilling ex citement from tho moment the first shoot of green appears, through the bud line nnd hlossomlnjr time to the very end of the summer. And a woman who has onco had a gar den will probably spend the winter con sulting catalogues In preparation for the Bprlng. m ' ?myiy-xw'--?irmi TfeV'HHs' m 'ii IKSilOBii i 'A ill ' h wmffSyWaJsBK - ;Pi - 1 - i ui THE NEW BASQUE GIRDLES WITH LONG SLEEVES BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES THE CARDINAL'S BREAKFAST I r-JTJ&itf&icFr: (tarn v i r m. 7 r v.wm i fiViK i i . $SJiL wl !

In these days when cold storage, the employment of preservatives In foods, and the adulteration of food products are being subjected to the most severe crltl i ism, a discussion held by the Society of Hrltish Medical Ofllcers of Health on tho lefrlgeratlon of food, and reported In the Lancet, should proe of Interest, tas the Medical Itecord. Dr. Ilauna, who opened the discussion, referred to the fact that the United States was not only no longer sending cattle to Ureal IJrltaln, hut was taking for Its own supply cattle from countries which had hitherto exported almost exclusively to Great Britain. He went on to point ut that tho methods of refrigeration of foudstuffs depended chiefly on the scieii tirti fact that expanding air or vapor izing substances, Mich as BUlphurlc acid, carbonic add or ammonia, in assuming the gaseous form abstracted heat from the atmosphere or other bodies In the neighborhood. Kresb meat was carried from distant countries either as hard frozen meat or hilled meat Chilled meat arrived in a comlltlun teady for consumption and re tained the characteristics of fresh meat more closely than frozen meat, but the cullling process required great care, and tho transport needed constant supervls ,on The frozen method was the better as legarded preservation, although it sometimes damaged the cellular and fibrous structure of the meat unless spe clal care was taken In defrosting. Hanna gave It as his opinion that meat when thawed wuuld keep with proper care as well as freshly killed meat after being taken from tho refrigerator, even In high temperature, a view not In accord ance wiin popular opinion. Of course, refrigeration or chilling of foodstuffs Is necessary when these have to be conveyed for long distances, as for example, from North or South America to Europe, but great care must be exer cised both In the process itself and the defrosting. That, however, animal food thus treated does not undergo a certain amount of deterioration is a view op posed, at least, to popular ideas, and certainly the suggestion that refrigera tion may Improve tho payor of meat is one not born out by experience. AS YOU sit down to the nice brcak-A- fast of fruit and cereal, and may be a poached egg on toast, did it ever occur to you to wonder what the birds ate eating for breakfast at this very minute? Of course, you know they cat worms and grubs and insects, but perhaps they like cereals, too. Xoticc some time when you arc walking where birds are and see if you can find some tiiat cat grains ami seed as well as worms. The pretty little scarlet cardinal that makes such a gay streak as he flies across the garden likes seeds very much better than grubs and worms, and if you throw nut wheat, he will surely visit your garden. In the seed time of the year, when every plant in the garden has its own little pods of seed, you need not throw out any bait, as he is wise enough to come there and help himself of the feast that Nature has spread for him. All summer long a certain cardinal had kept his eyes on a very beautiful garden. Some day he was sure he would get some extra fine food from ihat garden. Above all, he had his eye on the big tall sunflower way back at the end of the yard. Early in sum mer, this sunflower was a lovely big blossom, so big and cheerful and sun ny did he look that he made the whole garden seem like one big smile. But now the sunflower's big goldy petals were all dried up and blown away, and the soft velvety centre was dry and hard with big fat seeds You would think the flower was prettiest when in blossom but the cardinal wouldn't agree with you. He didn't care a bit about a blossom but a dead blossom full of seeds that's different that's about the very best thing to eat he knows of. lluwcr was young was now old and frail and easily bent. The bird slid off into the air. Even the weight of the dainty car dinal bent the face of the old flower so far front that the bird slid off into the air. "Well, well," said the puzzled car dinal,' to himself and he began plan ning what to do. At last he decided to get them on the fly, so he made a quick dash, passed the flower, pecking out a seed as he went. Without stopping to even taste it, lie dropped the seed and got another, and then another, titl several seeds lay on the ground by the flower. Then he daintily alighted on the ground and ate his fine breakfast in a leisurely and gentlemanly fashion. (Copyright, 1014. Clara Ingram Judson.) Tomorrow Green Apple Dolls. ACROSS THE COUNTER i For days he watched the seeds dry up with a soft peck he would tet them, but no they were not quite right, and with a whisk and a song he flew away. But finally a morning came when the seeds were just right and he de cided to stay for breakfast. Round and round the flower he cir cled, singing joyously, just as a little child runs around a gaily lighted birthday cake. Then he lighted on it to cat the first course. But alas!
