The woman fainted and these
an- some of the things that the
half-dozen men in the room with
her did says the Baltimore News.
Two of them made a dash for the
dining room for water and fell
over each other at the door of that
apartment.
One hastened to a neighboring
drug store for a mixturcof vichy
and ammonia.
One appeared suddenly with a
glass of whisk- obtained no one
knows where.
In endeavoring to raise the gas
two able-bodied and excited mas-
culines put it out? and left the
party in total darkness for at least
a minute while every one of them
fumbled in his pockets for a match.
Four men fanned the invalid
with music handkerchiefs hats or
whatever was at hand.

Another said "Here dear" and
tried to wipe her brow with the fan
that was in his other hand.
Pour of the men called her "lit-
tle woman"' and entreated her to
becalm.
Two said "There there" and
looked at each other and asked
haggardly if she were quite dead.
One put his arm" around her

would not sit up suddenly and
smite him for his temerity.
Another called the servant man

urgent calls a "blundering idiot" j made" remarked the first mourner
because he did not understand what! "He did so" replied the other

New York August 29. Miss
Reata WinOeld Sir Thomas Lip-
ton's protege came over on the
Philadelphia today. Miss Win-
field is a Texas girl of beauty and
considerable talent as a violinist.
She went to London in Februry
last expecting to play at a number
of concerts but the engagements
failed her and she says that starva-
tion was staring her in the face. Her
last penny had been spent and she
had been driven from the roof un-
der which she had found shelter for
lack of money to pay her rent.
"I took my violion" said Miss
Winfield "and went out to play on
the street corners hoping to secure
enough to keep life in my body.
The first penny T received was given
hie by a colored man.
"Finally I caught a severe cold
and had an attack of typhoid fever.
I was cared for in Charing Cross
hospital. When I recovered I
found work at 1 a week in a
restaurant. A gentleman who heard
my story called the attention of
Sir Thomas Lipton to my plight
and he came to my assistance. It
is through his kindness that I am
once more in my rfative land.
"Sir Thomas gave me the finest
compliment of my life" Miss Win-
field added "when he told me that
I was true to my birthright. If he
had but added that Texas need not
be ashamed of me it would have
been complete."
'Twas the foine corpse he
t'run for the nearest hat Avithout
any doctor."
This sounds like quite an army
of men but in reality it was only
six actives ones who did all these
things. And just as theywere in
despair a woman came into the
room. She took in the situation at
a glance and gave her orders cooly.
'"Let her lie down" said she "and
stand from nround her so that she
tnay get some air. She'll be all
right in a minute. Tnkeawa' that
whiskey and let me have the water.
There you are.'
And there she was sittintr un
and blinking.
Yts it's just as Dr. What's-Her-Name
says men are much more
emotional than women.
