That's Uio way it is with Maxie. She's a coquette, for one thing. There's nothing queer about that in itself. Other girls who nre not queer have hnd love nf fairs and plajtd ono agalnst tho othor nnd likcd one for awhllc nnd preferrcd the other for awhile, and murmured liow hnppy they could be with cither. liut with other girl's there's gcnernlly a man in the cnse. i'cr liniis Maxie is the only one on tho list who has been flirting with two or three rooms all of her qtiecr little life. Sho was tc'lling the rcst of us about it ono dny. "You don't know whnt it is, girlB," 6he snld, "to grow up as an only daughterin a lnrge house. It's one constant scrics of choosing nnd having to reject good things hecauso there are more than you can uso. It's lots 8impler when thore nre others to claim their ehare nnd you liavo to wait your turn and aecept what comes to you. Take it in the case of rooms. 1 enn dimly remember a beautiful, -penceful timo when I was a little girl, beforeit had everoccurred to me that I could occupy any room except the little one with the south bay window. I do believe, too, that I'd have been perfectly satisfied there to this hour, on!y I wns told oDe day that if I'd prcfer the immense front room I eould have it. That had nlwavs been our gucstroom, but mamma aid the only daughter hnd n right to chooet, aow she was growing up. You'd think I'd have been quite dastzled, for that front room has a (ireplace and a large aleove and a spacious closet, but at first I didn't con sider it at nll. My nnturnl impulse wni to be truc, you see. It was not until I was undressing that night and hanging some of my thing3 in tho wardrobc and some oi them out in the hall closet that I began to think about the advnntages of that front room. I alipped into my best drcssing gown the one I only woro on state occasions and I trailed with a new majesty dowi the dark hall and into the silent, great gucstroom. 111 never forget how I fclt es I stood there on that threshold. The plaee had nlways nwed me, anyway it was so large. I had admired it from afar with out the slightcst feeling of relationship to it. 'Knvr it wna difTprent. I went eoftlv in nrA Mn-VitnA lia rr a ntifl olncnil rlnrtT ' looking about me with timid possession. "I ranember that night so plainlyl I oan hcar the rufllea of my sillc gown swishlng ncross that floorj I can feel tlie close air of the shut-up room and sce the bed with its pink cnnopy. I drow the casiest chair in front of the grate nnd 6at down, rcsting my slipper3 on the andirons, all in a lan guid, leisurcly way, quite new to me. There was no ilre of course, cxccpt in my imagina tion. From where I sat I could see myself in a long mirror. I was 14 then, nnd I had been climlbing trees nnd sliding down ban istcrs all my life. I ibelieve I had never thoughit about my looks until that night, but how I Btudied my pose in that mirrorl I was enchanted with the way the loose sleeve fell back from my bare arm. Frob ably 'twas a ecravny enough little arm, but I know I thought it was bcoutiful.' I delighted in my slippers, too, and thought my feet the prettiest things in the world as I saw them in the glass. Everyone thought I was in bed, but there I 6at until midnighit. Then I stolo back from the clan destine meeting with my new love and faced my modest, faithful lifetime compnnion with the guiltiest feeling I had ever known. It was all eo natural nnd ever-day, there in the little room. I felt that I had como out of a drcam of fino ladyhood to flnd myself just 14, and I felt quite out of placo in that dressing gown. So I had it off in a trlce, but as I turned to hang it up the ward robe seemed smaller than usual and I won dered how many hooks there wero in the closet of my new room. For, yes, I had dtcided to go. "Next day all my knlck-knacks were moved, and how out of place they did look in tho new settingl There wasn't any real welcome for them or for me, and every thing was so cold and matter of fact that I began to think I waa like a person who marrics for money or for title. I couldn't go to sleep in the great, canopied bed, and finally I crept back into my ehorn, sad little room to 6ee how it felt. How Uie little walls huggcd me ns I went in! I cud died up on the broad sill of the bay window, and the moonlight shinlng through the .nus lin curtains sent polkardot shadows plaWng over my white night dress, just as I'd al ways loved to let it do. There was no put ting on silk drestsing gowns to visit the room, you'll notice. Just ns I was wonder ing whether my brothers would laugh un endurably if I moved back, my head nodded. and the next I knew it was broad daylight, and I went scuttllng back tomy grand opart ment for fcar some one should Bee. Oh, of course I stayed in the large room. There was a certain pride about it, and, bcsides, there were the closet nnd the fireplnee. Hut I think my first iovo knew that my heart stayed there, evcn thougb, for rea sons of etnte, I chose the other room. The fact is, the large room never really sym pathized with me unless I was in a vain or arrogant mood, and many nnd many a moonlight night found me iri thelittle bay window with the spirlt of the little room comforting my heart. "Finally I went to collego for a year. I was too late in arriving to get the room I wanted, ond the one I lived in was just a makeshift. That room and I never pre tended to love oach other. It was a mere matter of busdnesa between us. But before 1 came home in the summer I fell des perately in lovo with another room, and we were engaged to each other for the next year nt once. It was a bewitching place. It had n tower window ivith a soat running all around it. I sat thero for an hour one day planning the tlmes we'd have together when I came back in the fall. I dreamed of serving tea in Uvat tower n-ith an ori ental lantern over my head nnd 400pillows for a background. ,rVell, I came home for the summer all ooated over with intellectuallty and fllled with the idea that book knowlcdge waa all and stylo and elegance were naught j nnd Uie first thing I did waa to leave the front room, without a word of explanation. My prothers said it wna. the new paper on the little room, but much they knewi "I'm there yct, for I didn't go back to school tho next year, you know. I'm happy ln the HtUe room, after a fashioni but sometimes I feel ita limltntions, and then I go and sit before the flreplnco in the front room and wonder whether I ehall i come to a phase ln my life when 111 move back there ngaln. More often, though, I go away from botli of them, out under some tree ln the park, and dream about thatcol lege nook I never lived in. I wouldn't ray it in either of my home roomi, but I d" te lleve that room and I could have been per 'fectly happy together if fate had permit-ted."-Cliicflgt Jlaily Kecovd.

The largest sum for tho bricfcst eervieo recently received by the most liberally paid of nll profcssionals, the prima donua, was given Mmc. Nor dica on the occasion of her aiipcar ance in a conccrt at the Metropolitan opera house, Kew York, several weeks ago, says the Saturdny Evening Post. For two songs which rcquired fivo minutes each to siug she received $1,000, or at the rate of $100 a minute. Tho songs were Grieg's Swan and a serenade by Itichard Strauss. The oc casion was the Jirst American appear ancc of Ilerr von Sehue'h, conduetor of tho Itoyal opera, Dresden. Mmc. Nordica, among the soloists originally announced, was taken sud denly ill during a performance of "Tristan und Isolde" at the Metro politan the Saturdny previous to the concert. With her customary pluclc ehe finished her performance, but was obliged to take to bed as soon as it was ended. There she was forced to rcmain until the next Thursday, when it was time to dress for the con cert. She appeared at the Metropoli tan on time, sang her two songs and was pcrsistently reeallcd for an en core. Her strength not bcing equal to a response she bowed her appreciation and finally took Mme. Tatti's method of positive refusal by returning to tho stage with her carringo cloak about her shoulders. Once home she found no alternatlve but to return to the bed she had left to sing, But in the short time of her absenee, in addition to keeping faith with the publio and adding to the brlllianee of tho concert, she had re ceived $1,000 for ten minutes aetual work. For her first conccrt engage ment, Mme. Nordica, then a girl of 16, received ten dollars. Now in the zenith of her powers the largest sum received by Mme. Nordica for a single concert was $1,700. This latest achievement of $1,000 for ten minutes eclipses even that.

"I nm as pollto as tho average man, but I am suro that somo of tho 'regulars at this statlon think that I was raiscd in a barn, and all because I don't say 'Good mornlng' to them.

By Anna Uarrows. In the days of our grandmothers tho houses wero provlded with spectal closets and stororooins ln which to keep a large supply of food. But we depend more nnd more upon the cornergrocery, nnd nre wllllng to pay retall lnstead of wholesale prlces because we nre saved the tiouble of cdrlng for these- things ourselves and because the stock ls con Mantly belng renewed and therefore fresh, Yet there must be somo place ln which to storp our food from day to day or from moal to meal. A cool, clenn cellar not too llght, but well ventllated, Is an ldeal place for frults, veget.ables and the most perlsh able foods. Tho city housekeeper, how ever, must depend upon the refrlgcrator. a devlce of which her grandmother hnrdly dreamed of. Like tho stove the refiigerator should be selected to flt the place where lt must stand. It should be In n good llght, but not where the sun wlll strlke lt long and not too near tho stove. If there ls a cooler place Just outslde the kltchen that may be the best place for the refrlgerator, but conslder the number of steps to be taken be tween It and the dlnlng room, ns well as the cost of the lce. Also remember the number of steps requlred for the empty ing of tho waste water pan. When there ls plumblng in the house the refrlgcrator Is sometlmes conneoted with the pipes. Such connootlon should not be dlrect, but the water from fhe lice may escnpe into a basin placed above the plpes. Ice should be clean before It Is placed ln the lce box, but with all care In that dlrec tlon the escnpe plpes need frequent llush Ing with clean and occaslonally with boillng water. When tho dlfferent com parments of the refrlgerator can be taken out and soalded lt is a slmple matter to keep foods perfectly for a mod erate length of time. The food should be put ln deep earthen or agate dlshs b"fure puttlng ln the refrlgerator, as shallow dishes take up more room all the contents are liable to splll. One-quarS and two-quart glass Jars or wide mouthed bottles are useful for holdlng mllk, soup stock, stewed f rlnts, custards and slmllar Huld substances which must be kept cool. It ls very deslrable to havo a separate compartment ln the re frlgerator for mllk and butter. Near the refrlgerator and store closet should hang a "remlnder" for the things which must be ordeTed from market and grocery store. Where tea, coffee, splces and like food materials are kept ln glass jars only a glance ls needed to tell when a fresh sup ply Is requlred. The tln boxes ln which crackers, coffeo and cocoa are put up should be saved after they are emptied, the labels washed off and new ones put on. The half poundt baklng powder cans are good for whole splces and the larger cans for artlcles which are used ln larger quantltles. Ii ls seldom wlse to keep large quantltles of cercal food on hand, as lt becomea rancld ln a warm closet and attracts in sects. For many households it Is wlser to buy flour by the bag than by the barrel, and have one bag of bread flour and another of pastry llhur a thlrd of entlre wheat and smaller lots of corn and rye meals. Every store closet should be well sup plled with llavorlng materials, curry powder, celery salt, beef extract and tho like are exceedlng useful. A modenate. store of canned foods of several varleties should be kept ln readlness for emer gencles. FOR YOUR SCRAP-BOOK. Reclpes From Many Sources and of Acknowledged Worth.

But ln northern Italy bird murder ls epl dcmic, nnd this spirlt has sprentV over the Swlss-Itallnn cnnton of Tcssln, where the willow wrcn, hcdge sparrow, blackcnp, swallow, nightingale nnd lit tle Bingers of nll ldnds nre vlctlms of the trnp, the nct nnd the gun. "As the sensons come nnd go the the Swiss birds mmlco their pllgrlmnge South, nrud in golng nnd rerturning ncross tho lnnd of northern Italy nnd tho Swiss canton of Tessin they nro mercllessly pursued by huntcrs of nll nges nnd nll clnsses.

Fnlrhnven, Mass., has n guardinn.nn gel ln the person of Henry Ilogers, one of the Standard Oil magnates, says the Chlcago Chronicle. It was there hewnB born and there as a boy he carned his first money carrylng ncwspapers. To day Falrhaven boasts of a Hbrary anda town hall gifts outright from him nnd on tho principnl street stands on. ideal buildlng, the Bogers school. This struoture ls the fulfillment of l pledge mnde yenrs ago, when Mr. Ilogers wns n small, serlous-mindcd boy, who delighted to sit in the com pany of older poople. It wasln the gro cery store one day thatho vcntured to remark that he thought Falrhaven ought to have a new school. To those who listened a new school meant increased tnxes. "Wall," drolled out the spokesman, "I think so tooj why don't you bulld one? You inlght save up for a stnrter." There was a chorus of "haw, haws" ns the smnll boy slld ofE the top of the barrel to the floor and then drew him self up red and Uirning. "I'll do it," he sald, "and I'll glve some of you peo ple the chance to put the furnlture ln it when It's finished." The eplsode ended there. The boy grew, went to Pennsylvania and thence to Brooklyn. One dny ijt was nnnounced thnt Mr. Itogers was going to bulld a school ln Falrhaven. When it was fin ished he went back. On themnln street he met the scofTer of his boyhood. "I'm wniting for thnt furnlture," ho snld. The man lnughed sheeplshly, but sald nothing. "Never mlnd," Mr. Itogers went on, "I guesB I'll put lt in myself, but I wnnt tou to be on hand to ee thnt I hnve kept my word." ESSENCE OF LIFE.
