While Away the Time.
VIII.
The days flew by on the Atlantic
liner, seven In nil. I think those quiet
days were happy ones. Among the
steerage crowd were kindly folk. The
Irish were the merriest of all, nnd
nothing damped their gay enthusiasm
They danced their native dances on tin
deck untiring, tinfntlgucd. A concertina
fen lit 4 rtll t rt 4llMB tin B llmln onln
JtiJ uui ji vituti o I licit BUIl Ul" i
chestra. I loved to wntch the prettv I
eollccna dance, shawls round their
heads, and Irish eyes asrlow. Kuch bos
eoon led his colleen to the floor, and In
clogged feet they tripped the happiest
Jneasurei.
Out In the dance. Gallclans took the
palm. Strangely enough, the men would
dance together, scorning a woman part
ner. I have never si en mor graceful
dancers than these men, Gallclan nnd
Italian. The rhythm of the music
spurred their feet, and lent Imagination
to their dance. Strange cries they some
times gave, hut musical the gondoliers
of Venice give the same when piloting
nulet gondolas along. I nlmost heard
the splashing of the oars in their strange
cries, and saw the loggias spnrKllng
Italian sun.
HAITY H HARTS ON HOARD.
AVhen the dance w.is over each single
man would seek hit girl again who. too,
with the Itullan girls had danced. To
gether they would share an orange or
a kiss. But when that dreadful con
certina wheezllv linen" "
man would rush to and his own male
partner.
Among the second class above, who
often watched the steerage dance bel iw,
T saw the merry, humorous youth who
had traveled In my railway carriage
down to Southampton Each day that
boy was with a different girl Stray
crap3 of conversation floated down to
me, for I had claimed one solitary spot
lis mine a coll of ropr ueslde the rati
nnd there 1 nearly always sat.
"I think you are a topping girl!" I'd
hear him murmur to his early-morning
partner on the upper deck. "I'm really
frightfully keen, you know you look so
lovelv In this cold, clear wind: I love a
etrong athletic girl the best in fact, Just
you!"
By afternoon his Karly-Mornlng Oirl
would disappear. I think she spent long
hours in that greut swimming pool the
"White Star liner carried.
So in her stead would come a different
type. The Boy would place two deck
chairs In the sun. I glimpsed a fluffy,
pretty face amidst a cloud of wraps.
"I hate the sea!" a petulant voice would
exclaim. "I never will get up till after
noon, though memma says I'm lazy.'
"You're all a woman ought to be. and
Itvat is simply perfect," cooed the Boy
oh. base deceiver! "I hate the strong,
athletic type a man likes to protect a
Slrl."
ILLUSIONS OF THE SEA.
The pure ozone of the Atlantic breeze
most truly breeds flirtation in Its train.
An ocean oynge brings such strange
hallucinations, too! I'p in the tirst-class
sot the Married Man, so jolly In the gay
deck-sports, so gallant In his manner
toward the girls, has now become an
object of commiseration and of pity. He
Is unhappily marrli-d so the rumor has
It. "Poor fellow!" says the Prettiest Girl
on board. "I feel so sorry for that man!
At last night's daneo he really hinted that
ho cared for me anil there he's tied up to
a wife he cannot loe! Poor fellow! It
is so sad and strange'"
It did seem strange. Kor Just a day or
two before I saw him almost weeping
as he fondly kissed his pretty wife fare
well upon Southampton dock. "Good
heavens! I hate t think of this beastlv
voyage without you. .Mary!" I had heard
him say, with frankly red-rimmed eyes.
"Drop mo a postcard every day to let
me know how nil the kiddles are This
iour week's trip is Just a bit too long."
Yes, It was strange! Perhaps the sea
had given the Prettiest Girl hallucina
tions! The voyage drew at length to Its last
day. That final morning I rose early
and watched till New York Harbor and
the great Statue of Liberty appeared. I
was deeply Impressed by the lovely
statue with the beautiful strong face and
high Imperious arm. She seemed to
heckon lonoly emigrants onward, onward
to peace and prosperity.
We slowly sailed up the North Itlver
nnd the swarming rlor-oraft looked
Ktrangely foreign to my English eyes.
The landing at New York was a long
snd tedious business. Protrneti Intor.

BEKORE THE
SANDMAN COMES
SIX little crayon pencils stood in a
rcnvjn a little celluloid case on
ronfiny's desk,
Each stod up straight and tall with
its sharpened nose erect in the air.
Idmniy was very proud of his pen
cils and he often sat in front of his
desk- and looked at them.
"I wonder which one will get worn
out first," he thought to himself, and
he counted over the colors carefully.
"Red, brown, green, yellow, purple
and blue; of course, they're all very
( nice, but somehow red seems to uc
I the nicest!"
I Then he hunted up some magazines
, so he could 'color the pictured adver-
! tiscments in the hack.
! "1 think I'll color this picture first,"
1 he said, as he found the picturo of a
big automobile. Then he looked His
pencils over to decide what color it
should he.
"Of course it will be red," he said,
after much thought, and he set to
work making the most gorgeous red
automobile you ever sawl
To be sure he put green grass and
sonic yellow daisies at the side of the
automobile; he made the road brown
and the sky blue, but for all that the
picture was red very red.
Then he found a picture of a big
factory "Maybe I ought to make this
brown," said Tommy thoughtfully,
views took place with doctors, immlgra.
lion authorities, customs men. I began
to wonder and to doubt If America could
really be the land of freedom and of
liberty after all. When nil formalities
had been gone through, and thev do not
make it easy for a girl to land alone,
I scanned the faces on that great wide
dnrk, I ' 1 ' ' ' t
tine, No uncle ns Ir light "Tho tlmo

own," said I to mtlf in a woiild-bo
optimistic spirit, "he will certainly be at
the Philadelphia terminus."
THE nKTUn.N' TRIP.
In half an hour my luggage was trans
ferred, and I stood awed within the
portals of tho finest railway station In
the world. I thought I mu be back In
riear Saint Paul's Cathedral once again.
No sign of smoke or trains was there,
and yet Its name wad Pennslvanla

spaces, men and women moved so
silently that one scarcely heard a sound.
The prevalent air was one of method,
beauty and a silent quick dispatch. Our
English stations would do well to cop
this magnificent New York building.
Do"n some long steps I went, and
found the trains were waiting there
They looked so different from our English
trains, and oh, the size of their tie
mendous engines!
In a few minutes I was off, and flying
through the flat country that lies be
tween New York and the city of Phila
delphia. The painted wooden houses
seemed so strange, like great big tos
and Noah's Arks I could not think that
they new really farms. I saw such
strange new trees, too, and new flowers,
and great advertisements flared In the
fields. Strange weeds grew In the
marshes, towering high, and through the
carriage window shone the hottest sun
I've ever known. Such heat was new to
me, an English girl. I did not like that
bla-sing, burning sun. I wanted a cool
shade, nnd one uulct sleep. Hut Philadl
phla w.ts drawing clo.-e, and that meant
frlnds. and hope, and a new life. I
closed my eyes and pictured happiness.

Correspondence of general Interest
to women readers will be printed on
this page. Such correspondence should
be addressed to the Woman's Editor,
Evening Ledger,
and he tried brown on a corner of the
building. But brown was so dull he
didn't like it at all, so he decided to
color the building red red brick, of
course.
By the time that was done the red
point was all worn off and Tommy's
father had to make a new one. That,
of course, made the red pencil shorter,
but Tommy didn't care he had his
red pictures what did the length of
the pencil matter?
Over and over, every day the same
thing happened!
The magazines became full of red
colored pictures, for Tommy colored
everything from canoes to garbage
cans the same gaudy color. And the
poor little red pencil grew shorter and
shorter, till it was only a tiny stub,
barely sticking above the white case.
Then one night something happened
what do you suppose it was?
At the mystic hour of midnight,
when you and Tommy were both
asleep; at the very hour when all
sorts of queer things happen, those
crayon pencils began to talkl
"Oh, dear, I don't see why nobody
likes mc," grumbled the brown one;
"here I have never even been sharp
ened but once!" And he looked very
mournful as he aired his grievance!
"I wish I wasn't so popular,"
groaned the red pencil sadly. "I'm
nearly worn to death with hard
usage."
Just then two little mice came
snooping 'round to sec what they
could find to nibble. They heard the
red pencil speak, so they hurried up
to see what he was like.
"Nice soft wood, better try some, '
said one.
"Let's sec what s inside, said the
other. ... ,
They nibbled away till the red pen
cil was ruined, then they scampered
off to the pantry in search of some
thing more filling.
And how do you suppose poor i om
my felt the next morning when he
found his beloved red pencil all
ruined?

Reflection of War on Toy
Market No Scarcity in
Supply of Playthings of
All Kinds.
Here's .rood news for you, boys nnd
girls.
Expensive toys, which have been so
eenrce ilnco tho war wns begun, are now
to be limt In nbundnnce, nnd even If pence
Is not declared u'thln fiva years TTi5
nursery will not gutter to nny extent.
On your doll's piano, your sled, or that
fine drum that you have been using for
many years you have noticed the words
"Mndo In Germany." Tn fact, on al
most nil of your best playthings theso
words uppenr.
Hut conditions have chnnged since the
European armies were assembled, and
hereafter on many of your toys will bo
printed In great, broad letters "Made In
America." And, by the way, Philadel
phia boasts of the largest toy factory
In tho United .States.
When commerce between this country
and the German empire was discontinued
tho toy merchants wero frantic. Their
business depended almost entirely upon
Importations. Toys of a cortaln kind
were plentiful enough here, but tho deli
cate tin playthings, dolls that make
speeches, and all of those things which
nre typically German were not obtain
able here.
Tho Anierlcnn toy man Is resourceful.
He decided that, ns far ns possible, what
can't bo had from Germany shall be
made In the United States. Consequently,
many of the factories aro now producing
goods that have hitherto been sold only
by Gorman firms.
Perhaps tho domestic product won't
bo quite as good ds tho European, or per
haps somo foolish children will be disap
pointed by their failure to soe "Made In
Germany" on their playthings, but the
average American child wilt bo ns happy
as ever with his American-made boats,
dolls, guns nnd games.
To please the exceptional youngster who
won't bo content without the foreign
kinds a shlpp will sail to this country
every week bearing a few toys of Euro
pean manufacture. The goods will be
shipped, from the German factories to
Holland or Sweden and from the ports
of cither of those countries the toys will
be shipped to New York.
So there Is no reason to worry about
playthings while tho troubles of school
are Just beginning. Santa ClaUs' chief
assistant, the best known toy man In
Philadelphia, said today that of all things
that ho has In stock tin soldiers are In
greatest demand.
While mothers and fathers aro tnlklng
of the terrihlo times In Europe, It Is only
natural that tho llttio ones should be
thinking of military matters. As a re
sult, every boy who Is having a birth
day Just now Is anxious for a set of
soldiers.
They always were a favorite among
children, but now they are liked more
than ever. Some make bellovo soldiers
nro made In America and some In Ger
many, and It Is hard to tell which brand
Is best. The large toy factory In this
city Is now making cannons that shoot
rubber balls. They mnko a nolso that
Is said to bo almost as loud ns real guns.
Automobiles made entirely of wood
nre now on the American market. They
are being sold In large numbers because
whether you kick them or hit them, throw
them In the street or stnmp your foot
on them, they won't break. Airships are
as popular as ever.
JET TRIMMINGS IN VOGUE
The glitter of Jet Is seen on many of
the creations of the s-ason. It Is riding
tho wave of popularity and Jet motifs,
bands, wide and nnrrow, and hnlloons of
dlffcrcnt-cut and' slzt trim frocks and
blouse.
Jet buttons In olive and diamond shape
nre Used with loops of silk Instead of
buttonholes. The touch of black thnt con
tributes to the artistic success of some

YOUTH AND AGE
THERE'S not a Joy the world enn glvo like that It takes away
When the glow of early thought declines In feeling's dull decay;
TIs not on youth's smooth check tho blush alone which fades so fost.
But tho tender bloom of heart Is gone, ero youth Itself bo past.
Then tho few whose spirits float above the wreck of happiness
Are driven o'er the shoals of guilt or ocean of excess:
The magnet of their courso Is gone, or only points in vain
Tho shoro to which their shivered sail shall never stretch again.
Then the mortal coldness of tho soul llko death Itself comes down;
It cannot feel for others woes, It daro not dream Its own;
That heavy chill has frozen o'er the fountain of our tears.
And though tho eye may sparkle still, 'tis where the Ico appears.
O, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been,
Or weep ns I could once havo wept o'er many a vanished scene;
As springs In deserts found seem sweet, nil brackish though they be,
So midst tho withered waste of life, those tears would flow to mo!
