Wednesday I never saw any one who
calmly asks people to watt on her as
much as my oousln Amy. She had a sort
of nervous breakdown last winter on ac
count of rushing about and doing ton
much, and was ordered to rest and take
great care of herself.
She never dreamed of resting or taking
care of herself for an Instant, but for a
long time I felt rather mean If I didn't
run and fetch and carry for her when she
would ask me and look at me In a nervous,
tired way. Although she was not out yet,
her trouble was "debutantltus." and was
very prevalent among the girls she knew.
If at the end of the season a girl Is not
afflicted In that way, It would argue that
she had not been as popular as she might
have been.
Toward next spring Aunt Georgette will
say: "Yes, I've got to take the child away

Margaret would be speechless, as she

"I don't believe It would harm any of us

Daughters of

Mrs. Charles Rohlfs, who is known to
the reading world by her maiden name,
Anna Catherine Green, and who has been
called "the American Gaborlan" and "the
American DuHolsgobey," is the daughter
of James Wilson Green, who was a prom
inent New York lawyer, a member of the
common council and secretary of that
board of trustees of Plymouth church,
lirooklyn, which culled the famous preacher
to its pulpit. He was a representative of
a famous old Connecticut family and hailed
from East Hadde n. Conn. .
Mrs. Rohlfs Inherits the leg.il mind
evinced In her first novel, "The leaven
worth Case," from her father. It is said
that this book has been used at Yale as
a text book to show the fallacy of cir
cumstantial evidence. That may well be,
but the thousands who have poured over
tills and Mrs. Rohlfs later books have
read them not for evidence, but for the
thrill which all good detective stories should
give the reader. Mrs. Rohlfs, after her
graduation from Ripley college, Vermont,
aspired to become a poet, and at the out
set of her career contributed verse to the
leading magazines, which were afterward
gathered and published in two volumes.
Borne of these have achieved celebrity. In
cluding the longer one "The Defense of
The Bride," "The Tower of Uouverie," and
"The Tragedy of Bedan." At that time
she wrote in a letter, "I eschew prose. I
am a poet Story-telling Is not impossible
to me."
Yet it was as a story teller that she made
her greatest success upon the publication
of "The Leavenworth Case," and ever since

"Well, of course." hedges Father, "the

In that line with a. bunch of mutts picked
from all walks of life," scoffs Son. "The
chap who is trying to pull off this trick
wants the mayor to appoint twenty-five
men and a few women. Ministers only are
barred.
"I don't see why ho objects to clergy
men." wonders Father.
"Probably afraid the preachers would,
spend most of tlielr time rubbering at the
new shows and neglect their flocks," sug
gests cynical Son. "Whenever any play

Is to puss out free tickets to the preachers.

"If they pass that ordinance." muses
Father hesitatingly. "I think I shall sug

myself to uplift the drama."

Her method of novel writing Is Interest
