ARKIVAL IN PHILADKU'HIA.
My tialn brought me to Philadelphia
on a summer's day at 3 o'clock. In the
big railway station I saw no familiar
face. Surely my undo must be there
to welcome me. I knew he was the kind
liest man and on that one short visit that
he paid to England he had liked mc well.
I watted by the bookstall for an ago.
Strange crowds went b rw, as I stood
alone. The girls and women seemed so
smartly dressed, so fashionable. Thy
men all looked rather alike, I thought. u!l
wearing the same i-ort of hat straw,
with a hlghlsh crown. No one seemed
old and none stemed poor. America must
bo a great, glad place!
At length I sought the nearest les
taurant, for I was tiled and hungry. I
sat down at a little table, all alone. Why
had my uncle failed to welcome me? A
sudden thought then came and brought
relief. He must have sent a substitute.
Perhaps his wife had come and misted
me In tlie station crowd?
I raised up hopeful -cs and then a
strange thing happened. A beautifully
sowned woman slovvlj crowed the tes
taurant and came to me. I thought she
had the loveliest face, the most bewild
ering beuuty. A faint sweet perfume
clung about her gown, unlike the scent
of English flowers. She Einlled the sweet
est smile and said to me: "My child, why
j attyou all alone? 13 no one meeting
you?"
"I thought my uncle would have come "
I said, "or perhaps my aunt but I could
not recognize her, and she can't know
me."
"My dear," she cried, and Ith the
kindliest gesture seized my hands, "are
you the little girl we were expecting?
I've searched for you an hour! How glad
I am! I'm the new aurt' '
This lovely new relation made me feel
quite shy, she looked so grand. Sne
made me talk and ordeiod a light meaL
"Tour uncle sent me, as he was de
tained," said she. "Our motorcar Is
waiting to take you home to dinner, and
a welcome."
"I will not bother you ami uncle long
I mean to work," I said. "I think you
are tho loveliest and the kindest things' '
A sudden shadow crossed her face.
"Please don't say that," 3he said, as .
If my words had hurt. "Tell mi ubout
your life at home " I
I think the floodgates opened then: 1
my strange wall of reserve went down. I ,
told her of my English home, and of
long walks upon the wind-swept mourn. I I
told her how the wind sang in the trees '
and how the Hitle wood-sorrel prew
everywhere "It Is so pure and fresh,'
I said. "It has the tiniest, pinkest face! ;
I know you'd love m EngliPh home "
"Go on, so on," she said, in breathless I
agerness. "I was an English girl once, '
too!" ,
I told her of the freshness of the moors I
"so different from dusty cities and fiom
towns," I said. I told her of tho lovelv
Sussex Downs and how the dew lay long '
upon the srass. Then next I told her of

DRAGONS AND FLAGS
Ey MALCOLJl S. JOHNSTON.
DRAGON, a terrible beast,
Delighted on children to feast,
continued to porge
Till the valiant Saint George
Came along; then his appetite ceased.
Now after Saint George's brave fight,
That dragon no child can affright.
English children today
The saint's banner display
When they fight for their country and
right.
And when from their cousins they
split,
Americans with their keen wit,
Afraid of the loss
Of Saint George's red cross.
Made some stripes for their flag out
of it.
But in China, when boys play for fun
As soldier?, with sword, spear or gun,
It's part of their brag
To li.ive on their flavr
A dragon to make their foes run.
Coj,yrlsht, 13M.i
Theic aie two kinds of hat today, the
very small and tho very large. The
small hat Is dashing nnd very often mill
taty, for thcie mo ttusslau turbans,
Scotch bonnets, continentals nnd thej
tricorne, that Is welcomed so eagerly by
the women who cnti wear It.
The tricorne assumes a cry martial
air this season! It nppeurs with cock
ade or staff feather standing elect.
The Scotch bonnet has the losette or
caglu feather, or een a tassel for orna
ment. On the nusslan tut ban there are gal
loons of metallic nppouranco and motifs
that mo veiy warlike In design.
These, with the ttillleur or trotteur
fiotk, still have the pas, although tho
cnnotler. by which name was revive the

to win its place once more in feminine
affection,
Blnck velvet ban nppaiently the cachet
of famous milliners, although colors, such
as gi.ipe and tnupe and tete do negre,
have a vogue of their own.
And, Just as tho small hats tnko a
dashing or Jaunty air, picturesque li tho
word to npply to tho hat with the wide
bilm, of the kind that has long been
known ns the Gainsborough.
U is n hat that comes and goes as
ceilalnly as an ocean tide, nnd in spite
of the ban of disapproval or oven the
high tariff, ostrich feathers or tips are
almost certain to ho used for trimming.
The hot shown In tho illustration today
be'ongs unmistakably to the picture and
portrait clas?.
It has tho wide brim, slightly curved
to soften the effect and faced with chif
fon. This Is corded on the edge and at
a depth of a few Inches and It Is shir
red us well.
Acrnlust the roft crown two ostrich
feather tips are placed. Whore they come
together, n little nt one side, there Is a
soft clioux of chiffon to match the fac
ing. It is designed to wear nt an angle,
nnleh, of course, adds greatly to Its
style and at the same time displays the
chiffon underbrlm.
Thf color scheme Is tete do negre ns to
crown and upper brim, -while tho chiffon
facing Is of n delicate lose, nnd the os
trich tips were chosen of the same del
icate tint.
BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
PERCHED up high in the back
yard of a city home were three
little wren houses. And cry in
viting they looked, vou may be sure.
Poor little Mrs. Robin wanted so
much to live in one of the houses.
She simply couldn't forget a very
narrow escape her babies had last
j car when a cat a big, sleek eat!
nearly, nearly, nearly got her dear
babies. But tor the fact that a neigh
bor's dog trotted into the yard and
diverted her mind, that cat would
surelj have killed and eaten every
robin baby1 So naturally Mrs Robin
sighed for the safet of a really, truly
house with a front door ton small for
cats!
But her sighing did n good, lor a

1 She pecked at it, she clawed and she
scolded it v igorously, but it got no
larger. So finally she gave up and
built her nest in a near-by apple tree.
'But I mean to see who gets that
house." she declared to Mr. Robin. "1
mean to be very particular about our
neighbors."
For several das nobody came, then
one morning a very cunning Mr. and
Mrs. Wren flew into the yard.
"Oh, look!" exclaimed Mrs. Wren,
"here is a dear little house. It's just
exactly what we were looking for!"
' To be sure it is," chirped Mr.
Wren in delight, and then tmfortu-
i nately he looked around! When you

e must look those oer before we
etile in any. Maybe those are better
than the first one we saw."
Su they looked them over. They
rn in and out; they examined and
tittered and exclaimed till Mrs. Robin
was thoroughly disgusted.
"Why in the world dun't they de
cide and start to furnishing?" she
chirped crossly. "I don't believe
thuse wrens know a good home when

In the meantime Mrs. Wren de
ruled 011 the first house. They car
ried in the straws and worked verv
! hard for a whole day, then she de
cided she wanted the second house,
and the work began all over
fter a whole day's work on the
second house she thought the third
was the best Then, after an hour,
moved back to the first!
That last move was too much for
practical Mrs Robin. "Such fickle
creatures!" she scolded; "I won't
have them around." And she
screamed and scolded so vigorously
that Mr. and Mrs Wren gave up all
three of their lovely houses and set
tled in a distant barn.

WHITE SLAVERS USING NUN'S
GARB TO LURE VICTIMS
Women's Section of Conference of
Catholic Charities Makes Charge,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.1 -White slavers
ait using the garb of nuns to lure their
victims, according to the Women's Section
of the National Conference of Catholic
Charities. In session here nt the Catholic
Universitj. The declaration was made in
a leport submitted to the conference,
urging that a committee he appointed
bv the conference to look after the safety
of gills who may attend the coming expo
sition in San Francisco.
Things have come to such a pass that
a youns woman can trust 110 one whom
he does not know," declared the report.
These cteatures engaged In the white
tlavo traffic assume all sorts of guises
They even wear the robes of nuns and
sisters of charity, they feign illness ; they
ask to be taken to houses In cabs and
helped up the steps, nnd then, when tho
door closei the unfortunate, kind-hearted
gill who has helped Is In the worst of all
trap J and exposed to peril Infinitely more
dreadful than death. There Is reason to
think that the religious garb is frequently
assumed by the white slave traders, and
chat some of the stories exploited by the
anti-Catholic papc-m against our sister
hood are traceable to the operations of
f.hese scoundrels "
A committee was namea 10 prepare a
plan of action.
GIRL A GENUINE HOBO
Followed the Koad Since She "Was
Orphaned at Twelve.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23. "Just a pool
little wet girl," said Patrolman Charles
Lodding as he stood muffled In his drip
ping raincoat In front of a dark doorway
last night on Qulncy street.
Huddled In tho doorway that sheltered
her from the rain was a girl. She wore
a soiled white hat, a gray mackintosh
with frayed edges and a pair of soggy
white canvas shoes. She was leaning
against the side of the door nnd her
head was dropped forward on her
breast
"Can you beat It? She's sound asleep
standing up," continued Lodding to him
self. Tho limp hat bobbed uncertainly
soveral times and the girl awoke with
a start.
"I must have I guess Say, was I
sleeping here?" she Inquired as soon as
she had lecovered from the sight of the
police insignia on Loading's cap. "I was
just waiting for a car. I guess I was a
little drowsy. I think I'd better be
go"
"Watt a minute,", said Lodding. He
began to question the girl. Not satlslled
with her replies, ho took her to the South
Clark street police station. There he
told her story to the matron,
"I know you'll call mo a hobo, but I
puess It's all right. I'm used to it. My
namo Is Pauline Henderson .and I am
1" years old. I've been on the road since
I was 12 years old. My mother dlod then

"I have been all over tho country. I
ilde on the trains whenever I can get a

"I got In two nights ago, or maybe
It was three nights ago, I don't keep
track, I beat It from Toledo. They kopt

Then they told me I had to get out of
town. So I got, and here I am."
SPAIN SOLD $100,000 WORTH
OF TOYS DURING 1913
400 Manufacturers Supplying For
eign and Domestic Demand.
Spain has depended In the past to a
large degree for its supply of to. s on pur
chases from abroad. During 1913 this
count! impoited toys to the amount of
about "jCOO.COO. of which Germany fin -mshed
goods to the amount of about
J 130,000 and France about 150,000 worth.
Twenty-five years ago Spain oxported
scarcely any toys. In 1912 it sold over
$100 000 worth to various countries, Cuba
being the chief buyer, followed by Argen
tina, Belgium, Tuikey and Spanish pos
sessions. It has become more apparent In Spain
In recent years that the manufacture of
tovs can he made a lucrative Industry on
account of the steady demand, with the
result that at present there are at least
400 Spanish manufacturers of importance
supplving toys for domestic use and for
export. In Barcelona there are 15 work
shops devoted exclusively to the produc
tion of toys which engage from 0 to 70
hands, 30 which employ fiom 10 to 40,
and 35 with less than 10. Other cities and
towns in Spain have important toy fac
tories that cater largely to local use.
The toy Industry has made such pro
nounced progiess that a national exposi
tion of toys has been just inaugurated in
Barcelona, the chief commercial city of
Spain, and it has been largely patronized
by the toy factories in this neighborhood,
as well as throughout the Peninsula.
Atrlong the lines chiefly exhibited are
turned wooden goods, including tenpins,
tops, small furniture, besides croquet
sets, calls and wagons, metal goods, such
as soldiers, small table services, trains of
cars, mechanical toys, guns and pistols;
paper goods, paper cinematographs, thea
ties with figures, marionet shows; and
leather goods, comprising footballs, and
stuffed imitation animals, such as horses,
donkeys and dogs.

HAT OF BLACK VELVET FACED WITH CHIFFON AND TRIMMED
WITH OSTRICH FEATHER TIPS
ACROSS THJE COUNTER
There M no single article of dress upon
which a woman's comfort depends to the
extent that It depends upon tho corset.
With the walet line a matter ot con
jecture, aa It Is in so many of the picsent
day gowns, tho slender people at least can
consider comfort first.
The tango girdle ot clastic webbing has
no rival in this Held, nt leust In the
opinion of the people who wear It.
It Is made In several lengths. The
medium length costs S3: the very shoit
girdle, only six Inches wide, costs jl.13.
There is a modified form this season,
with the back of coutll laced In the regu
lation way and elastic webbing In the
front.
This costs $3.
A new stylo In firmly woven treco costs
J3.50.
It has tho flexible steels that are used
In the place of whnlcbone nowadav. Of
medium length, It Is cut slightly higher In
back than In front.
It Is made for the very slender and has
the natural curve In at the waist.
lror fuller figures there Is a corset of
coutll that Is higher both back and front
and depends on Its shape to confine the
figure rather than upon many bones.
It, too, costs W.
The so-called boneless corset Is still
sold for SI, In several length?. It is only
steeled back and front, with ono steel
at the side. It seems to find favor for
wear when dancing. It can bo replaced
without great loss if it should glvo way
by too strenuous exercise.
A conservative corseticro says that the
lilgh-busted corset Is not making head
vv. Women will not go hack to tho
moyen ngo for their coiset, even It they
do for their styles.

Mr. Wilson behoved, and still bHev
a man has tho right to do as lie pleasei
as long as It does not Infringe on thi
rights ot others. Ho felt that when h
provided for his family nnd attended to
his business, nnd paid taxes to the 8tat
nnd abided by tho laws, his duty n. .'
citizen had beon fulfilled. "
It had been the custom ot Mr. Wilson
to go any place he pleased whenever li.
pleased. If he felt like tnklng a 8Din in
ono of his automobiles with n party of
friends It was no one's business but hli
own. "
Mr. Wilson has r wife. Strange ns It
mny appear, Mrs. Wilson agreed tmtl
fectly with her husband on this subler
but Mr. Wilson did not know It, in fnel
Mrs, Wilson did not malrtj ,or De1(,:
known to nny one, but she believed It
just the same. fc
So, In tho course of events tlm enrac

Mr. Wilson lost considerable monev'
but ho resolutely set to work and hunt
snothor garage. When It was completed
Mr. WilBon, following bis policy 0f

Mrs. Wilson did not express her opln.

Then she took the machine to n denier

Then she boarded a trnln at the Polk

Did Mrs. Wilson tell her husband
where she was going or when sho win

Mr. Wilson believes In "personal" lib.

But Mr. Wilson did object, nnd had
asked tho police to make a search for
his wife and son. Mr, Wilson told tho
police he bcllovcd Mrs. WilBon was

The police failed to locate her there.
However. Mr. Wilson Is doing some1
