VIII.
The dn i flew liy on th Atlantic
liner, ceven In all. 1 think those quiet
days were happy ones. Among the
leeiiiEe ciond were kindly folk. The
Irish were the merriest of nil, nnd
nothing damped their pa enthusiasm
They danced their tutlvo dances on th
deck Untiring, unfatlKUed. A conceitiiM
Badly-out of tune, was their sole o
chestra. T loviil to watch thi prtt
colleens dance, shawls round t,ic ,
heads, and lilsh c.tes tislow. Uadi sns

c'osgod foet they trlpppd th lmpp.et

Uut In the danco C'alleinns took V"
palm Strangely enough, th tn'ii tuu1d
dance toKcther, scoinln? a woman pail
ner. I ha" never se'n more vracffu'
dancers than these men. Onllrlan and
Italian. The rhythm of the music
spurred their feet, and lent Imagination
to their dance. Strange cries they some
times gave, but musical the gondoliers
of Venice give tho ram when piloting
quiet gondolas along. I almost heard
the sptashlns of the oars In their strnngo
crier, and saw the loggias sparkling in
Italian sun.
HAPPV HEARTS ON BOAP.D.
lVhn the danco was oor each slnslf
man would seek his girl again, who, too.
with the Italian girls had danced. To
gether they would share an orange or
a klsr. But when that drcidful con
certina wheezily began " n - '
man would rush to find his own male
partner.
Among the second class above, who
often watched tli steerage danc belov
T saw the merry, humorous youth who
had traveled in my J all way carriage
boy nag with a different girl Strav
scraps of convertation floated down to
me, for I had claimed on solitary spot I
., .. 11 . . . i.t -- it !
and there I noa-ly always sat.
"I think you are a topping girl:" I'd
hear him murmur to his carlv-monilng
partner on the upper deck. "I'm really
frightfullv keen, vou l:now-ou look so
lovely in this cold, clear wind! t love a
strong athletic girl the best in fact, just
you!"
By afternoon his Early-Morning Girl
would disappear. T think she spnt Ions
hours in that great swimming pool the
Vblto Star liner carried.
So In her .-toad would come a different
type. The Hoy would place two deck
chair3 In the iun. I glimpsed a fluffy,
prettv face amidst a cloud of wraps.
"I hate the sea'" a petulant voice uoul-1
exclaim. "I never will get up till after
noon, though racmrai says I'm lazy.'
"You're ail a woman ought to be, and
that is simply perfect," cootd the Boy
" oh, base deceiver: "I hate the. strong,
athletic tjpe a man likes to protect a
girl."
ILLUSIONS OF THE SCA.
The pure ozone of the Atlantic breeze
most truly breeds flirtation In its train.
An ocean voyage brings uch strange
hallucinations, too! Up In tin first-class
set 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. Hfi
Is unhappily married so the rumor has
It "Poor fellow"' says the Prettiest Girl
on board. "I feel o sorry for that man!
At last night's dance he leally hinted that
he cared for me and there he's tied up to
a. wife he tannot love! Poor fellow! It
Is so sad and strange!"
It did seem strange. For Just a day or
two before I saw him almost weeping
as ho fondly kissed his pretty wife fare
well upon Southampton dock. "Good
heavens! I hate to think of this beastly
voyage without you, Mary!" I had heard
him say, with frankly red-rimmed eyes.
"Drop njo a postcard every day to let
me know how all the kiddles are. This
four week's trip is Just a bit too long."
Tes, 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 Tork Harbor and
the great Statue of Libert appeared. I
was deeply impressed by the lovely
statue with the beautiful strong face and
high Imperious arm. She seemed to
beckon lonely emigrants onward, onward
to peace and prosperity.
VTv slowly sailed ur the North tii,-k.

liEFORE THE
SANDMAN COMES
SIX little crayon pencils stood in a
row in a little celluloid case on
Tommy's desk.
Each stod up straight and tall with
its sharpened nose erect in the air.
Tommy 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 gel worn
out first." lie thoueht to himself, and
he counted river the colors carefully.
Kcd, brown, green, yellow, purple
and blue! of course, they're all very
J nice, but somehow red seems to be
the nicest 1
Then he hunted up some magazines
so he could color the nicturcd adver-
. ..-
I tiscinents in the back.
"I think I'll color this picture first,"
I he said, as he found the picture of a
Dig auiomouiie. men uc iookcu his
pencils over to decide what color it
should be.
"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
some 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,

spaces, men and women moved so
silently that one scarcely heard a sound.
The prevalent air was one of method,
b"autv and a silent quick dispatch. Our
English stations would do well to copy
this magnificent Xew York building.
Dc 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 tre
mendous engines!
In a few minutes I was off. and flying
through the flat country that lies be
tween New Tork and the city of Phila
delphia. The painted wooden houses
seemed so strange, like great big toys
and Noah's Arks I could not think that
they were really farms I saw Mich
fctrange now trees, too, and new flowers,
and great advertisement! ilared in the
fields. Strange weeds glow in the
marshes, towering high, and through tho
carriage window shone the hottest sun
I've ever known. Such heat was new to
me, an English girl. I did not like that
blazing, burning sun. I wanted a cool
shade, nnd one quiet sleep. But Philadel
phia was drawing close, and that meant
frltndj, and hope, and a new life. I
closed my eye3 and pictured happiness.

FASHION'S LATEST

OF PERFECT GOWN
Sketch Made by Artist
While Prospective Wearer
Awaits Verdict as to What
Is Becoming.
The pattern gowns and robes that are
already so nearly made are being sold
In Borne places with a sketch of the fin
ished garments that still further simpll
ties their construction.
And now the sketch Is made while you
wait, so to speak, for an artist appears
and studies the purchaser's points as to
coloring and figure before making the
drawing.
The novelty of the Idea, aa well as
the delusiveness, no doubt, sells many
robes. And, although It may owo Us
origin to its commercial value solely. It
has an Idea behind It that Is the begin
ning and tho end of all wisdom In the
matter of dress.
8o great an authority as Lady Duff
Oordon, whose London shop has such
tremendous prestige, talks nnd writes
fashions to one end that the fashion
must be modified to suit the individual.
In other words, that the very first law
is to wear what is becoming.

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
thins 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 snpposc 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 me." 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 see 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 Tom
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 good news for you, bos and
Blrls.
tSxpenalve toys, which have been so
scarce slnco the war was begun, are now
to be had In abundance, nnd even If pence
Is not declared within llva years TTS3
nursery will nol suffer to any extent.
On your doll's piano, your sled, or that
fine drum that ou have been using for
many years you have noticed the words
"Made In Germany." In fact, on al
most all of your best playthings these
words appear.
But conditions have changed since the
European armies were assembled, nnd
hereafter on many of your toys will bo
printed In great, bjoad letters "Made In
.ineilca." And, by the way. Philadel
phia boasts of the largest toy factory
in Iho United Slates.
When commerce between this country
e id the German empire wns discontinued
the toy merchants were frantic. Their
business depended almost entirely upon
Importations. Toys of a certain kind
wore plentiful ennush here, but the deli
cate tin playthings, dolls that make
speeches, and all of those things which
rc typically German were not obtain
able heie.
The American toy man Is resourceful.
He decided that, as far as possible, what
can't bo had from Germany shnll bo
made In the United States. Consequently,
many of the factories are now producing
(roods that have hitherto been sold only
by German tirms.
l'cthaps the domestic product won't
b oulte no irood as tho European, or per
haps some foolish children wilt be disap
pointed by their failure to so "Made In
Germany" on their playthings, but the
average American child will be as happy
as over with his American-made boats,
dolls, guns olid games.
To please the exceptional youngster who
won't be content without tho foreign
kinds a shlpp wilt salt to this country
every week bearing ft few toys of Euro
pean manufacture. The goods 'will be
shipped from the German factories to
Holland or Sweden nnd from the ports
of either of those countries tho toys will
be shipped to New Toik.
So there is no teason to worry about
playthings while the troubles of school
are just beginning. Santa Claus' chief
assistant, the best known toy man In
Philadelphia, snld today that of all things
that he has In stock tin soldiers are In
greatest demand.
While mothers and fathers are talking
of the terrlbla times In Europe, It Is only
natural that the little ones should be
thinking of military matters. As a re
sult, eery boy who Is having a birth
day .luat now Is anxious for a set of
sulnlcrs.
Thev always were a favorite among
..MiiifAn lint nnw thev nrn liked more
than ever. Some make believe, soldiers
ato 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 make a nolso that
Is said to be almost na loud as real guns.
Automobiles mado entiroly of wood
are now on the American market. They
arc being sold In largo numbers because
whether you kick them or hit them, throw
them In the street or stamp your foot
on them, they won't break. Airships are
as popular ns ever.
JET TBIMMINdS IN VOGUE
Tho glitter of .let Is seen on many of
the creations of the season. It Is riding
the wave of popularity and .let motifs,
bands, wide and narrow, and balloons of
different cut and sls, trim frocks and
blouses.
Jet buttons In ollvo and diamond shape
are used with loops of silk Instead of
buttonholes. The touch of black that con
tributes to the artistic success of somo
of tho most delicate and ethereal cos
tumes Is supplied most delightfully by
Jet.
YOUTH AND AGE
THERE'S not a Joy the world can give llltc that it takes awny
When the glow of early thought declines In feeling's dull decay;
'Tls not on youth's smooth cheek tho blush alone which fades so fosl,
flut tho lender bloom of heatt Is Bono, cro youth Itself be past.
Then tho few whose spirits float nbove the wreck of happiness
Are driven o'er the shoals of guilt or ocean of excess:
The magnet of their course is gone, or only points In vain
The shore to which their shivered sail shall never stretch again.
Thou the mortal coldness of the soul like death Itself comes down;
It cannot feel for others woes, It dare not dream Its own;
That heavy chill has ftozen o'er the fountain of our tears.
And though the eye may sparkle still, 'tis wheie the lco appears. '
'TV
O, could I feel as I havo felt, or be what I have been.
Or weep as I could once have wept o'er many a vanished scene;
As springs In deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they he,
So midst the withered waste of life, thoso tears would flow to me!
