WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW-THINGS THAT INTEREST MAID AND MATRON ELLEN ADAIR SEEKS UNCLE'S HOME, BUT FINDS HIM GONE A Taxi Ride Through Phil adelphia's Streets Brings New Surprises at Every Turn of Road. x. Once on n time I linil the smallest kitten, and Its ryes were closed, fnr It was only four dnys old. A little villus? boy pulled Its ryes roUKhly open and the kitten died. t know now how that kitten felt be fore It died. It must huvo thought the world a cruel place, and Kind It was to leave It. My rude awakening hurt me, too. for when the lovely lady sept away It was the kindest thing that she could do. poor soul! she swept my child ishness along with her. My eyes were opened to a treacherous world, and deep down In my heart two feelings reigned euprume. First was a trembling thankfulness thnt she had gone. Then came a great deep pity for her pain, that swallowed all le bentment .nd all fear. I knew her sor rows wen- unfnthomnblc. I'oor, lonely foul In that strange underworld, drifting among vague shadowy forms whose heaits have lnng since died Is there no lesurrection to a higher life? Out In the sunlit spaces, children's voice call-out In God's world are happy blessed homes. "Too late, too late!" 1 still can hear her cry. At length I rose from meditating there, and sought the railway station onrc again. I hnd escaped the greatest dan ger, anil nothing could harm me now. 1 hailed a taxi to convey me to my uncle s house, my shabby trunk was piled on It, and oft we started. NEW SCUNES ALONG THE WAV. t noticed that the driver was a negro, nnd he wore no chauffeur's uniform. I missed the smart appearance of the Lon don taxis, and the vase of (lowers within. This strange dark chauffeur drove so fast, and oh! I noticed in alarm that we wore carterlns on the ivrong side of the street! Tor, as we drove toward the west, on that wide thoroughfare called Market sticet, kept upon the right-hand side, and not the left! "We certainly will have an accident quite soon," said J, and sought the tpeaklug tube. I could not And It. and we still swung on at lightning speed, still on the right hand side. This was too much. 1 could not stand It any longer, and hung far out of the window. "Please stop!" I cried to the chauffeur. "You will h.ivo an accident If you don't keop to the proper side of the road. I'leaso cross over to th left at once." The dusky driver duly stopped, and shook his puzzled head. "I drive all ri-ht." said he In a soft, musical voice i voice that seemed to hold the liquid melancholy of old slave days. "We rr.us' keep to the right side. It Is the rule here." I sank back in my seat amazed. Here then the traffic laws must bo the opposite of ours in England! Yet I could not shake oft the vague surmise that we would shortly collide with something. The policemen looked quite different from ours: they wore no helmets, but a peaked cap of the type our postmen wear in England, and many of them rode on horseback. I thought the postmen did look strange mall carriers, I think, the name Is here. They wore straw hats with wide up-curving brims, dove-colored, and with suits of bluish gray. We passed great shops in Market street I think they're called "department Etores" and great street cars clanged everywhere. They had no upper deck, these cars, but all must crowd Inside. No one at home sits Inside a car In summer time, unless it rains. They always climb upon the roof, to get the breezes and a view. I thought It must be dreadful, that warm July evening. Inside those big trol ley cars! Although they were so huge and long, I noticed they could turn around a sharper corner than cars of half their size in England ever could! We turned sharply north from Market street and swung along In quieter streets. The taxi bumped and bouneed upon its way, for the road seemed strangely rough and uneven. We rattled right across a railroad crossing, too; I saw the tall-end of a great goods train Just passed. It seemed so odd to s'e thoe railway lines crossing a traflic-laden street. "I hope I get to Uncle's safe!" thought I. It was now Just after 7 o'clock, and darkness seemed to fall so suddenly. It seemed to me that In a few short min utes after daylight It was dark! At hom we have a long, long twilight, and on July evenings daylight lingers on till 10 o'clock. I saw the oddest things on that long taxi ride they seemed so strange at first to me, an Kngllsh girl, hut now I've jfrown accustomed to them all. We passed street after street of red-briek houses, with live or six steps leading down to the pavement- Smartly gowned, white clad girls sat out on thee steps with well-dressed youths; whole families tat there and faced publicity. They even went further, for I saw many little en campments right out upon the pave ment's edge. The father would sit upon a. campstool there, reading the evening paper and peacefully smoking, not the pipe of peace, but one big black cigar, while the mother sat and chatted with her friends who might pass by upon the street. I thought the crowds of Httl chil dren playing in the streets were Just the dearest, merriest little things. I liked the curious style in which their hair was cropped, all round the back right close up to their little ears. A DHKARY DILEMMA. At length the taxi drew up at my uncle's house, after we had driven Just a trlllo over four miles. "Two dollars, please," said the driver, as he carried my trunk up to the door. Two dollars! Why. that taxi ride at home would have coat hut 70 cents! I paid him while he rang the doorbell. It was a two-storied, red brick house In a lontr line of others, with Ave steps leading down to the pavement. The driver rang and rang, and rang again. No answer cumn! He eould wait no longer, so mounted his car and drove off. A little boy who had been Intently watching me now spoke, in the great dread that now enveloped me, I yet could note the odd twang in his speech. "If you are wanting the gen. tleman in that house, he went off to Eu rope Just a week ago," said he. "I heard that house is to be shut up for the next three months " Three months! And here was I, Ellen Adair, with but $S In the world, and not ne single friend In the length or breodth of America, left solitary upon the doorstep.

NATIONAL DISHES AS GOOD UNDER ANGLICIZED NAMES i Wives Deceive Husbands by Deferring Bills Tradesmen to Buy Clothes. With Pretty The high crut of living ! naught but a. myth. The prices of foodbtuffs arc cheap; 'TIs the use of f.iod morn y to lm irpcs with That makes our provender eo steep. A habit of spending high cost of living money for personal adornment Is respon sible for a great deal of domestic quarrel ing, in the opinion of E. .1. Buckley, editor of the Grocery World, of Tenth and Arch streets. Mr. Buckley objects to what he calls the mania of some women to spend for clothing money given them by their husbands for household expenses. He believes in giving the grocer his due. Philadelphia Is singularly free from this type of woman, however, according to Mr. Buckley, and wives who are hiding big bills from their husband may breathe more easily. Compared to the figures for other large cities Philadelphia husband-deceiving wives are few. "This failing is an unusual phase of financial irresponsibility." Mr. Buckley said today. "I am In touch with about TOO grocers. Stories growing out of this fault are frequently told me. "The wife dislikes to confess to her husband and will try to get rid of it her self by wnatover surreptitious means she can use. Some times she gtts away with It, but more often she fails. Only a few days ago the wife of a professional man came to me and made a pathetic plea that she be given time to pay a grocery bill of V. for which she hnd received the money from her husband. "She admitted she had spent It for her personal adornment, although hr hus- Chicngo Restaurants Avoid Offense by Making Menus "Neutral," Sept. 21. Tim leading hotels nts of this city. In order to observe strict neutrality, have eliminated from menus French, Oct man and Hus slan names of popular dishes. The Ho tel La Salle started the movement and otheis followed. The Germans have been boycotting French and Russian dishes, while "goulnsh" nnd "Winner schnitzel" found no favor with Kngllsh, French and Uus.slnn guests. Under the new rules of civilized eating as applied to peaceable Chicago restau rants where "canape russe" led off for luncheon, caviar on toast Is the new appe tiser. "Wiener schnitzel, Holstein," has been given Its passports and veal cutlets with tried egg and vegetables rushed Into Its place. "Filet mlgnon" Is no more; it Is plain tenderloin steak. Chicken broth "en gelee" Is Just plain chicken broth In Jelly. "Itlo de ve.au aux petits pols" Is nothing more nor less than sweetbieads with new peas. Chicken "sous cloche" Is the same bird "under glass." The Blackstone will retain foreign names because the chef says there aie certain dlhjbes which cannot be trans lated but can be devoured. ENGLISH WOMEN RALLY TO FLAG AS GUNS ROAR Labor Unselfishly to Alleviate Suf fering on Field nnd at Home. In this great war the calm resource fulness of the Kngllsh woman In every part of the I'nltcd Kingdom Is truly splendid. An utter absence of all selfish considerations on her part I a leading feature everywhere. From little Princess Mary down to the humblest ucullcry wench, ivory woman Is working hard to alleviate the hardships of the sol diers and the country. The Navy league annoum-es that thou sands upon thousands of British women of every rank and age, from duchesses to washerwomen, have placed their serv ices at the disposal or the navy ,it The tailored hlouso Is coming In fast nnd furiously, hut with a difference, otherwise wo might turn out storeroom and closet nnd wear the blouse of sev eral years ago. In the place of Jieavy linen nnd thick madras, or stiff tnffctn, we have the tihiercst of linens nnd batistes and silks, such as crepe meteor, Georgette crepe, soft tnfrctns and satins and the still popular crepe de chine. It Is hard to foretell JUst how fnr the popularity of the "up to the neck nnd down to the wrist" blouse will go. The open throat, even If It Is only the small est V, means comfort, and many women will refuse to p.irt with It, Their was a time when n simple fash ion could take the Held and drlvo out all rivals. Uut now almost any woman can gratify her individual taste nnd follow where her Inclination leads. The set-In sleeve, for Instance, Is hero and is used In the majority of long sleeved blouses, hut It has not altogether displaced the rnglun sleeve, nnd the kimono sleeve still has Its uses. There Is Inllnltc variety among the col lois of blouses, from the absolutely con ventional turned-down collar, such as men wear with soft shirts, to the upRtnndlng, daring eollnr, which leaves the throat hare In front. Yokes are used extensively, though they nre not nil fashioned alike. The yoke that Is so shallow In front that It barely shows is largely used, while the yoke that reaches the natural yoke length In front has a unnrtnoss all Its own. The buttons are commonly used for a featuru of the blouse and arc covered quite often with the material of the blouse or they may bo black velvet or of almost any ornamental material. The blouse Illustrated Is of soft taffeta with hemstitched lapols, fronts, cuffs and arm-hole plnlts, The collar Is perhaps the distinguish ing feature, fneed as It Is with black satin and held In place by a narrow strip or black velvet ribbon. The llnrlng points come up very hlgli n-id turn out and over. This is either verv becoming or It Is a disaster to at tempt to wear It, and It Is well to know which it is before u blouse of which it Is a feature Is chosen. Besides the black of the velvet but tons, which fasten the blouse as well n furnish decoration for the cuff, there Is a narrow band of black satin placed on the centre of the cuff. The use of black on white and blouses of delicate color Is a style note of the season that has distinct ralson d ctre. It Is not only nrtlstlc. hut It Is almost Invariably becoming to any type of face. EASIEST THING IN WORLD TO ACHIEVE TANGO FOOT New Cases of Ultra-modern Pedal Disorder Continually Reported.

Thourands more have offered their services to tho Bed Cro.s Society, of which Princess Mary Is a member. When the Women's Kmergeney Corps, which was originally Instituted nnd or ganized hy the two famous Kngllsh actresses, Miss Declma Mooro and Miss Lena Ashwell, called for volunteers, the women of England responded enthusi astically to tho call, and outFide the Adelphl was a tremendous queue, nil waiting till the doors should open nnd husband learning of her deception, as It would blast his confidence In her. Editor Buckley said that In his opinion it was not because of any inclination toward dishonesty that the offending wife practiced this deception. "I am sure that most of these women believe thy are struggling hard to make both ends meet." was his assertion. "The trouble is that they have never been taught to systematize. Fairly large sums of money are handed them by their husbands and without realiz ing that the grocer's bill Is a moral ns well as a financial obligation, the temp tation to dress beyond their means is yielded to. "And the temptation Invariably Is fine clothes." Grocers having customers of this kind to deal with are advised by Kditnr Buckley to send their bills directly to the husband. "The housewife may not like this." he said, "but her resentment Is the lesser of the two evils." SOLDIER GETS OLD RING BACK I Token He Lost Years Ago Found on Constellation, Josephus Daniels, Secretary of th Navy, vouches for this storv, which Ii given herewith ai It was prepared by one of Mr Daniels' aides: when It was announced recently that the historic sailing ship Constellation was to be overhauled, preparatory to taking part In the celebrallon at Bal timore of the centennial anniversary of "The Star Spangled Banner." the Pec. retary of the Navy received a letter from Mrs. Rosa Kenney Winston, of Windsor, N c , which stated that her father, Doe tor Kenney, had served on the ConsteN latlon during and after the Civil War and In the course of his service had lost a ring given to him by her mother. He had always said that the ring would never be found until the ship was over hauled at the navy yard. She requested that a watch be kept In case the ring should be discovered. The commandant of the Norfolk Navy I Yard was notified accordingly and has Just forwarded to the Navy Department I the ring, which has been recovered after these many years. It was found under I the Iron covering plates of the anchor bits on the gun deck forward and has 1 been sent to Mrs. Winston. their task bo given them. That bewltchlngly beautiful Kngllsh girl, Millicent. Duchess of Sutherland, Is at the head of the French Ile(i Cross work In Brussels, and, nrrnved in a simple white gown and a close-fitting white cap.

Her firaco has never looked more grntlous or more lovely than In this noble role of ministering to the sick and dying. Jidy Sarah Wilson, who understands the horrors and hardships of war most thoroughly, having experienced them all during the Boer War, Is a prominent worker for the soldiers. It will be re membered that she was shut up In Mafeklng during the famous siege, then captured by the Boors, finally being ex changed some time after for General Vlljoen.
