The Metamorphosis
of Lucretia Pepper
By HOWARD DEVINE
Samuel listened with becoming meek
ly*8 and agreed with her thoroughly.
>*«* system was Inaugurated, and all
went well for some days. Then one
e>enmg Samuel was a half hour late to
supper—was detained at the office, he
explained. He found Lucretia just flu
sh ing her evening meal, grim and de
termined. Everything was cold. He
seated himself at the table with Mi
canber-like cheerfulness, and tackkd
he cold and soggy victuals, all the time
alktng affably. Lucretia was dignified
and uncompromising.
I am sorry that you were detained,
Samuel, she said, -because we had such
a good supper.”
‘*3h‘ fmPPer’s all right,” he re
lied. But I'm sorry on your account
I was detained. I'm afraid it makes you
more trouble.”
“I can stand it if yon ran.” she re
plied. grimly, as she poured him some
lukewarm coffee.
But Samuel refused to be an object of
sympathy or to permit an atmosphere
of embarrassment to gather. He rat

Something of Their Domestic Life,
Dress and the Passing of
Their Time.
The City of Mexico, in all its strange
nooks and corners, its streets dating
from the period when Spain’s vice kings
ruled in the big palaces, is full of color
and incident, says the Philadelphia Led
ger. The awnings flung over the bal
conies and the black eyes glancing
down into the street, flower-decked
piazuelas or open spaces, soldiers
marching by, peddlers of fruits. Indians
jogtrotting in the middle of flee public
way, quaintly costumed as in Cortez’
time—a vivid sunlit panorama every
where displayed. The amateur photog
rapher is in his element here, there is
such an embarrassing wealth of mate •
rial.
