IX. I think that poets sometimes make the Bravest otrors. They slug of youth ami eunny days and happy hearts, louth tvplfles to them the sliceicst happiness. They cannot sec that youth may mean the sheerest pain. l.o. rtnr. is mime nnp wnllts SO nlUCll bo desperately much. Then, oh! tho heart ache If one sets but little! Tho "Ions, Ions thoughts of youth" arc passing Etrange I know they stretch out to eternity, nnd always with a vague new restlessness. I think It's happiness we Buek, hut under unfamiliar names. Some call It duty, some a great career and some poor fools "a good time" In this world. It cannot came from outward circumstances. "A heart at leisure from Itself" might bring It hcre-I do not know -1 wish 1 thought of others' feelings more. . . , . Once as a child I watched a rainbow gleam, a wide kaleidoscopic arch over wet Kngtlsh fields. To me the universe could hold nothing more fair. 'I want to reach the rainbow whete It ends. I cried, and tramped for miles over wild rccnlcd heath, through dripping woods, to catch that rainbow's gleam. But " ways It eluded me. 1 cried my childish heart out for an hour. Thon mother pave me a new toy, wmi darting Quicksilver In it. I broke that to to catch the gleaming metal-but there ugaln I falledl I think the old folks know true happi ness. At least they know a quiet calm nnd peace. On many a furrowed, wrinkled face I see such happy looks. "They also rerve who onb stand and wait" AURIVAL, IX PHILADELPHIA. My train brought me to Philadelphia on a summer's day at 5 o'clock. In the big railway station I saw no familiar face Surely my uncle must be there to welcome me. 1 knew he was the kind liest man. and on that one short visit that lie paid to England he had liked me well. 1 waited by the bookstall for an age. Strange crowds went by me, as I stood alone. The girls and women seemed so martly dressed, so fashionable. The men all looked rather alike. I thought, all Rearing the same sort o hat straw, with a hlghlsh crown. No one seemed old and none seemed poor. America must be a great, glad place! At length 1 sought the nearest res taurant, for 1 was tiled and hungry. I eat down at a little table, all atone. Why had my uncle failed to welcome me? A Midden thought then came and brought rellof. He must have sent a substitute. Perhaps his wife had come and missed me In the station crowd? I raised up hopeful ryes and then a strange thing- happened. A beautifully gowned woman slowly crossed the res taurant and came to me. I thought she had the loveliest face, the most bewild ering beauty. A faint sweet perfume clung about her gown, unlike the scent of English flowers. She smiled the sweet tit smile and said to me: "My child, why ,- ar. you all alone? Is no one meeting you?" "I thought my uncl 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 with 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 aunt!" This lovely new relation made me feel quite shy, she looked so grand. She made me talk and ordered a light meal. "Your 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 and uncle long I mean to work," I said. "I think yon are the loveliest and the kindest things!" A budden shadow crossed her face. "Please don't say that," she said, aa If m words had hurt. "Tell me about your life at home." I think the floodgates opened then: my strange wall of reserve went down. I told her of my English home, and of long walks upon the wind-swept moors I told her how the wind .sang In the trpes and how the little wond-sorrel grew everywhere. "It Is so pure and fresh," I said. "It has the tiniest, pinkest face! I know you'd love my English home " '.'Go on, go on," she said. In breathless eagerness. "I was an English girl once, too!" I told her of the freshness of the moon "so different from dusty cities and from towns," I said. I told her of the lovely Sussex Downs, and how the dew lay long upon the grass. Then next I told her of the artist's words. "And when I met BIG HAT AND LITTLE RIVALS FOR FAVOR; MILITARY IN TONE rts&wiRSass U J4 V.

The lovely lady tried to speak, but no words came. So I went on. "I feel so shabby In this simple gown. You must feel quite ashamed of m!"

I BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES PERCHED up high in the back yard of a city home were three little wren houses. And very in viting they looked, you 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 year when a cat a big, sleek cat! nearly, nearly, nearly got her dear babies. But lor the fact that a neigh bor's dog trotted into the yard and diverted her mind, that cat would surely have killed and eaten every robin baby! So naturally Mrs. Robin sighed for the safety of a really, truly houe with a front door too small for cats! But her sighing did no good, for a mtKlmMilSSBmB She tried desperately to get in that tiny door, robin is too large to get through the door of a wren house. She didn't give up without a trial, you may be sure. For several hours Rfter she first saw the hous,c she tried desperately to get in that tiny door. She pecked at it, she clawed and she scolded it vigorously, 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. "I mean to be very particular about our neighbors." For several days 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 unfortu nately he looked around! When you have found exactly what you want it is a very bad plan to look any fcir ther; you will find trouble every time! Trouble is exactly what Mr. Wren found trouble in the form of two other little wren houses. "Oh, look at those," the foolish fel low exclaimed. And of course Mrs. Wren looked. "Aren't they lovely!" she cried "We must look those over before we settle in any. Maybe those are better than the first one we saw." So they looked them over. They ran in and out; they examined and tittered and exclaimed till Mrs. Robin was thoroughly disgusted. "Why in the world don't they de cide and start to furnishing?" she chirped crossly. "I don't believe those wrens know a good home when they see one!" In the meantime Mrs. Wren de cided on the first house. They car ried in the straws and worked very hard for a whole day; then she de cided she wanted the second house, and the work began all over After 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 gae up all three of their lovely houses and set tled in a distant barn. Copyright. 10U, by Clan Ingram Julson. (Tomorrow "Cannas.") WHITE SLAVERS USING NUN'S GARB TO LURE VICTIMS Women's Section of Conference of Catholic Charities Makes Charge, WASHINGTON, Sept. S3 -White slavers are using the garb of nuns to lure their victims, according to the Women's Section of the National Conference of nathollc Charities, In session here at the Catholic University. The declaration was made In a report submitted to the. conference, urging that a committee be appointed by the conference to look after the safotv of girls who may attend the coming expo sition In San Francisco. "Things havo come to such a pass that & young woman can trust no qfce whom she does not know," declared the report. "Thi.se creatures engaged In tho white slave traffic astume 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 abs and helped up the steps, and then, when the door closes the unfortunate, kind-hearted girl who has helped is in the worst of all traps 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 that some of the stories exploited by the anti-Catholic papers against our sister hoods are traceable to the operations of these scoundrels " A committee was named to prepare a plan of action. There arc .two kinds of hat today, the very small 'and the very large. The small hat Is dashing nnd very often mili tary, for there arc llussian turbans, Scotch bonnets, contlncntnls nnd the trlcorne, thnt Is welcomed so eagerly by tho women who can wear It. TJic trlcorne assumes a very martial air this season! It nppears with cock ado or stalT feather standing erect, The Scotch bonnet has the rosette or eaglo feather, or even a tassel for orna ment. On the Russian turban there are gal loons of metallic appearance nnd motifs that are very warlike in design, These, with the tullleur or trottcur frock, still liavo the pas, although the canotler. bv which name was revive the whle-brlmmed sailor, appears determined In win Its place once mole In feminine aflectlon. lllnck velvet has apparently the cachet of famous mllllncis, although colors, such as grape nnd taupe nnd tote de negrc, have a vogue of their own. Ami. just ns the small hats tnke n dashing ur Jaunty air, picturesque Is tho wnid to apply to the hat with the wide brim, of the kind that has long been known as the Clnlnsborough. It Is a hat that comes-and goes ns certainly ns nil ocean tide, nnd In Bplte of the ban of disapproval or even the high tariff, ostrich feathers or tips are almost certain to lie used for trimming. The hat shown In the illustration today belongs unmistakably to tho picture and portrait class. It has tho wide brim, slightly curved to soften the effect nnd faced with chif fon. This is corded on the edge and nt a depth of a few Inches nnd It Is shir red ns well. Against the soft crown two ostrich feather tips aie placed. Where they come together, a llttlo at one side, there Is n soft clioux of chiffon to match the fac ing. It Is designed to wear nt an angle, wnlch, of course, ndds greatly to Its style nnd at the same time displays the chiffon undcrbrlm. The color scheme Is tete dc negre ns to crown nnd upper brim, while the chiffon facing Is of a delicate rose, nnd the os trich tips were chosen of the same del icate tint. GIRL A GENUINE HOBO Followed the Bond Since She Was Orphaned at Twelve. CHICAGO. Sept. 23. "Just a poor little wet girl," said Patrolman Charles Loddlng as he stood muffled In his drip ping raincoat In front of a dark doorway last night on Qulncy street. Huddled In the doorway that sheltered her from the rain was a girl. She wore a. soiled white hat, a gray mackintosh' with frayed edges nnd a pair of soggy white canvas shoes. She was leaning agnlnst the side of tho door nnd her head was dropped forward on her breast. "Can you heat It? She's sound asleep standing up," continued Loddlng to him self. Tho limp hat bobbed uncertainly several times and tho girl awoke with a start. "I must have I guess Say, was I sleeping here?" she Inquired as soon as sho had recovered from the sight of tho police Insignia on Loddtng's cap. "1 was just waiting for a car. I guess I was a llttlo drowsy. I think I'd better be go" "Walt a minute," said Loddlng. He began to question the girl. Not satisfied with her replies, he took her to the South Clark street police station. There she told her story to the matron. "I know you'll call me a hobo, but I guess It's all right. I'm used to It. My name Is Pauline Henderson .and I am 17 years old. I've been on the road since I was 12 years old. My mother died then and wo were living In Kansas City.

Spain has depended In the past to a large degree for Its supply of toys on pur chases from abroad. During 191J this country imported toys to the amount of about J009.C60, of which Germany fur nished goods to the amount of about J 1 30.000 and France about JDO.000 worth. Twenty-five years ago Spain exported scarcely any toys. In 3913 It Bold over JI0OO00 worth to various countries. Cuba being the chief buyer, followed by Argen tina, Jlelglum, Turkey and Spanish pos sessions, It has become more apparent In Spain In recent years that the manufacture of toys can be 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 supplying toys for domestic use and for export. In Barcelona there are 15 work shops devoted exclusively to the produc tlon of toys which engage from 10 to 70 hands, 30 which employ from 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 progress that a national exposi tion of toys has been just Inaugurated in Barcelona, the chief commercial city of Spain, and It has bean largely patronized by the toy factories In this neighborhood, as well as throughout the Peninsula. Among the lines chiefly exhibited are turned wooden goods, Including tenpins, tops, small furniture, besides croquet tets. carts and wagons; metal goods, such as boldlers, small table bervlces, trains of iars, mechanical toys, guns and pistols; paper goods, paper cinematographs, thea tres with llgures, marlonet shows; and leather goods, comprising footballs, and stuffed imitation animals, such as horses, donkeys and dogs.

The tango girdle of clastic webbing has no rival In this Held, nt least In the opinion of the people who wear it, It Is made In several lengths.

Thefe Is n modified form this season, with the back of coutll laced In tho regu lation way and elastic webbing In the front. This costs 3. A new style In firmly woven treco costs $3 50. It has the flexible steels that are used In the plnce of whalebone nowadays. 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 nt tho waist.

It can be, replaced without great loss If It should glvo way by too strenuous exercise. A conservative corsctlero says that tho high-busted corset Is not making head way.
