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

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.

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

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,

In win Its place once mole In feminine

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

The color scheme Is tete dc negre ns to

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.
"I havo been all over the country. I
ride on the trains whenever I can get a
ride. I can hang on to the rods, ride the
decks, or tho bumpers, or the blind any
way, I get there.
"I got In two nights ago, or maybe
It was three nights ago, I don't keep
track. I beat it from Toledo. They kept
me there In the detention home for a
month because I fell asleep In the park.
Then they told me I had to get out of
town. So I got, and here I am."

SPAIN SOLD $1 00,000 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 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.

HAT OF BLACK VELVET FACED WITH CHIFFON AND TRIMMED
WITH OSTRICH FEATHER TIPS
ACROSS THE COUNTER
There Is no single article of dress upon
which a woman's comfort depends to tho
extent thnt It depends upon the outset.
With the waist line n matter of con
jecture, ns It Is In so many of the present
day gowns, tho slender pcoplu at least can
consider comfort first.
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. The
medium length costs $2; the very short
girdle, only six inches wide, costs $1.23.
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.
For fuller llgures there Is n corset of
coutll that Is higher both back and front
nnd depends on Its Minpe to confine tho
figure rather than upon many bones.
It, too, costs J3.
The so-called boneless corset Is still
sold for $1, In several lengths. It Is only
steeled back and front, with ono steel
at the side. It seems to llnd favor for
wear when dancing. 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. Women will not go back to the
nioyen age for their cotset, even If they
do for their styles.
