The days new by on the Atlantic
liner, scon In nil. I think those quiet
days were happy ones. Amonq the
steerage crowd were kindly folk. The
Irish were the merriest of all, and
nothing damped their gay enthusiasm.
They danced their native dances on tho
deck untiring, untatlgucd. A concertina.
sadly out of tune, was their sole or
chestra. I loved to natch the iett
colleens dance, shawls lound their
heads, and Irish ee aglow. Each go.
soon led his colleen to the floor, and In
clogged feet they tripped the happiest
,'rr.eanures.

BEFORE THE
SANDMAN COMES
SIX little crayon pencils stood in a
row in a little celluloid case on
Tommy's desk.
Each stod up straiRlit 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 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 be
the nicest!
Then he hunted up some magazines
so he could color the pictured adver
tisements in the back.
"I think I'll color this picture first,"
he said, as he found the picture of a
big automobile. Then be looked 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 sidc"of the
automobile; he made the road brown
and the sky blue, but for all that the
picture wa red very red.
Then he found a picture of a big
factor) "Maybe I ought to make this
brown," said Tommy thoughtfully,

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

The magazines became full of red
colored pictures, for Tommy colored
everything from canucs to garbage

HEARTS WITH JOY
Reflection of War on Toy
Market No Scarcity in
Supply of Playthings of
All Kinds.
Here's good news for ou, bojs and
Klrls.
Expensive toys, which have bean so
scarce slnco the war was begun, are now
to be had In abundance, and even If peace
Is not declared within flvo years TtiS
nursery will not suffer to any extent.
On your doll's piano, your sled, or that
fine drum that 5011 have boon using for
many years you have noticed the words
"Made In Germany." In fact, on al
most nil of your best playthings these
words atjppar.
But conditions have changed since the
lluroifcan armies were assembled, nnd
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 the United States.
When commerce between this country
a id the German empire was discontinued
the toy merchants weie frantic. Their
business depended almost entirely upon
Importations. Toys of a certain kind
wero plentiful enough here, but the deli
cate tin pla things, dolls that make
speeches, and all of those things which
are typically German were not obtain
able here.
The American toy man Is resourceful,
lie decided that, ns far as possible, what
can't be had from Germany shall bo
made In the United States. Consequently,
uuny of tho factories are now pioduclng
goods thnt have hitherto been sold only
by German films.
Pet haps the domestic product won't
b quite ns good a His European, or per
haps some foolish children will be disap
pointed by their failure to eo "Made In
Gormany" on their playthings, but the
average American .child will be as happy
as ever with hla American-made boats,
dolls, guns and games,
To please the exceptional ydungster who
won't be content without tho foreign
kinds a shlpp' will salt to this country
every week bearing ft few toya of Euro
pean manufacture. The goods will be
shipped' from the German factories to
Holland or Sweden and from the ports
of either of those countries the toys will
bt shipped to New York.
So there Is no reason to worry about
playthings while 'he troubles of school
are Just beginning. Santa Clans' chtef
assistant, the best known toy man In
Philadelphia, said today that of all things
that he has In stock tin soldiers are In
greatest demand,
While mothers and fathers nre talking
of the terrible times In Europe, It Is only
natural that the little ones should bo
thinking of military matters. As a re
sult, ccry hoy who Is having a birth
day just now Is anxious for a set of
soldiers.
They always were a favorite among
children, hut now they are liked more
than evr. Some make believe soldiers
mo mndc 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 malting cannons that shoot
rubber balls. They make a nolso that
Is said to be almost ns loud as real gunH.
AMtn.HnMli.B .ttnrin Atrtlrplv fit wood
are now on the American market. They
are being sold in large numbers because
whether you kick them or lilt them, throw
them In the street or stamp your foot
on them, they won't break. Airships are
as popular as ever.

YOUTH AND AGE
THEKE'S not a Joy the world can give like that It takes away
When the glow of early thought declines In feeling's dull decay:
'TIs not on youth's smooth cheek the blush alone which fad63 so fost.
Rut the tender bloom of heart Is gone, ere youth Itself be past.
Then the 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 course Is gone, or only points In vain
The shore to which their shivered sail shall never stretch again.
Then the mortal coldness of tho soul like death Itself comes down:
It cannot feel for others woes, it dare 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 Ice appears.
-Tv-
O, could I feel as I have folt, 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 be,
Po midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to mc!

COURTING'A SPANISH GIRL
PROCEEDS ON ODD LINES
Nowhere Else In the World la Cus-
torn So Noveh
In no other country In the world does
the process In courting proceed on such,
unique lines as In Spain. In no othof
country docs love at fu-Bt eight so fre-
quently load to morrlnge. ,Tho young
unmarried girl of good social position
never walks In tho street unless accom
panlcd by a chaperon, and It Is qult
permissible for any man who Is attracted
by her to follow her. Ho must notwalle
abreast of her, nor ought lie, on tin
first , occasion, to speak to her. Having
ascertained where she lives, It he I
sincere In his pursuit, he makes frequent
appearances under the window, and con
tlnucs to follow her when she ahd her
chaperon go out. '
If tho lady Intends to respond, she will
presently make an appearance -on thrt
balcony and enter Into conversation with)
him. He ma"y even talk to her when,
she goes out, and her chaperon will turn
a. deaf ear when the lady coyly throw
replies over her shoulder. In this some
what extraordinary way each discovers
the social position of tho other, and then
If Independent inquiries made by parent
and guardians aro quite satisfactory, thq
tittle flirtation from tho balcony pursue
an uninterrupted course, nnd tho mart
gradually attains a rccogntzed Toslllort
as his arjorcd one's novlo.
For months the bashful couple will
linger at this pleasant stage. But at
length tho times comes when the novlo
received Into tho girl's home and meets,
her parents. He Is, however, never for,
one moment left alono with her, and any;i
evening In the Caetoll'ano In Madrid yoijl
may see young couples In this stage walk-'
Ins out, accompanied by a deaf muto
lady! The tram cars in Madrid arc coiwi
structed with seats for two on one sldd
of the gangway, and a single seat on th
other: tho single one Is known as th
chaperon's.
While these pleasant stages are drlftlnf
on, cither party Is free to end tho friend
ship, but at last comes the time who
tho novlo, plucking up all courage, got
through tho formal ceremony of askln '
ror tlio lady's hand. If this is dul
granted, there Is then an official hn i
trothal. which Is usually followed by 4
weuaing witnin a low weeks.
