Patti's Life in New York
Tattl lias recently written for an English
weekly publication reminiscence ot hor own
llfo, but has probably not entered Into do
tails touching tho years sho pnssod as a
rosldcnt In tho suburbs ot Now York. Tho
houso In which sho Hvod, relates tho Now
York Post, Is now within iho city limits.
It stands on tho east sldo of Matilda street,
not far from tho cornor of Beckor avenue,
ln whnt was rocontly tho vlllago of Wake
field, but Is now part of tho borough of tho
nronx. At tho foot of nockor avonuo Is the
Wakollold station of tho Now York Central's
Harlom division. From tho platform of the
station ono may see tho houso, a big, ugly,
rectangular brick structuro with a pyra
midal roof. High steps load to tho front
door. Tho houso stnnds In tho midst of a
consldorablo lnwn with fruit trees, shrub
bery, nnd flower beds. A recent ownor, n
Oorman, who oponds only tho summer nt
Wakefield, had tho houso painted yollow,
and added othor transforming touchos, so
that tho plnco Is voVy unllko tho home

Whon tho Pattls woro singing In this
country, a good many moro yoars ago thnn
tho women of tho family would caro to own,
they built tho big ugly brick houso as a
rural rotrcat In times of idleness. Tin
wholo region round about was thon thor
oughly rural In nppearanco, nnd, In fact, It
had not thon begun to bo truly suburban,
for tho city lay miles southward, and thoro
woro many hundred acres of forest nnd farm
land botweon tho Pattl houso and tho paved
stroets of New York.
In eplto of all tho changes that have takon
plnco, however, thoro aro still at least a
scoro of persons nt Wakoflold who romomber

occupied tho rectangular brick house. Some

Costumes for the Wheel
A French physician has been telling his
countrywomen how they Bhould bo attired
whllo cycling. His description of tho ideal
bicycling costumo was as far romovod as
posslblo from tho Ideal costumo conjured up
In tho average female mind. To begin with,
no stnys of nny descriptions, combinations
of tho lightest woolen, a llannol blouse,
bloomers nnd n sort of modified sandal slip
per that could not ln nny way lmpcdo the
action of tho nnkle.
Just hear how dinmotrlcally opposlto a
smart tailor's description of tho up-to-dato
blcyclo suit sounds. First of nil, ho posi
tively sniffs nt tho Idea ot bloomers or di
vided skirts nnd snys tho nnklo longth skirt
with quite n llnro at tho bottom Is tho only
permissible thing for tho mamont. Tho

vestment, ho thinks, tor It keeps Its hang

monds, which supported tho high trans
parent collar ot the laco, a gift of l)cr
brothor, and three ropes of pearls falling

bridal costumo was ono of great simplicity
and yet of tho greatest elegance.

A Very Young Teacher
Kittle Marcella Parker la enjoying tho
reputation of being tho youngest school
teacher ln tho United States. Sho Is ths
8-year-old daughter of John B. Parker of
Smithburg. Smlthburg Is a pretty vlllago
flvo miles south of Freehold, N. J.
A few days ago when tho scholars met
at the school houso tbo teachor was absont.
When tho pupils thought It "was tlmo to
open school, tho door being locked, thoy
gained entranco by pmttlng little Elylo
Hendrlckson through a window, and ho
opened tho door. Tho children thought ths
teacher would como later, but as school
tlmo had passed, Klttlo Parker, with a
modest, womanly air, stepped forward and
said that sho would bo teachor until the
real teacher camo. Sho then called tho
school to order Just as sho had seen her
teacher do.
Tho first part of tho opening exercises
consisted of singing, Kittle giving out
"America" with duo dignity. It was heart
ily sung by all tho pupils. Next In regu
lar order camo tho blblo reading. Hero
Klttlo met with slight difficulty, n tho blblo
wns locked in tho bookcase. Sho found
a Sunday school quarterly, which answoroJ
tho purpose of tho scriptures, and the open
ing exercises closed by tho school rocltlng
tho Lord's Prayer ln unison.
Klttlo thon kept tho teasher's placo for
tho rcmalndor of tho day, and, as sho Is a
great favorlto among her schoolmates, they
did not hestltato to obey her. Ono girl,
being a llttlo disobedient, was kept by
Klttlo for flvo minutes during receM. When
nsk'oil It tho scholars obeyed her sho re
plied In a dignified way:
"Why, certainly they obeyed. If they
had not I should havo punished them."
When asked how she know what tlmo of
day it was and when they could eat, she
said thero was a girl In school who could
tell tlmo by her shaloA-. Klttle's distinc
tion Is still moro marked becauso the
Thompson's Grove school has long had tho
reputation of being a very difficult school
to teach, and a number of experienced
teachors havo had much trouble thero, as
havo tho members of tho noard of Education.
