THK GALLANT IGKMAN.
I had the same sensation once again
that evening when the door slammed shut
upon the gallant Iceman and myself.
AVe clambered on h'u wagon once again
nnd tried another boarding house-also In
vain! I must sign an agreement to s-tay
there one week at least and pay S'i in
advance. ?o on we moved.
At length we reached a cheap hotel,
which made no difficulty in taking me I
thought it was a dreary looking plare. but
glad 1 was to get there.
I thanked mv kindly Iceman, nnd he
ttood there fumbling with his hat He was
a well-dressed. Htllsh outh, so different
from that class of workingnian at home.
Ge-whl7.:" ssid he. as I held out my
hand to b.d him thankr and an adieu,
"maybe I wouldn't like to haveadao
with sou! Maybe I wouldn t like low
your steady! I suppose you wouldn t
think of me an a stpariy fellow
To "have a date"-what could he mean.
Ho must be offering some fruit to me.
And "steady telloW-why. of course he
was! One saw it in his face.
"I know you are a steady man. I
said "I'm sure you're splendid at your
work. I won't take anything to eat,
though, thank you. They'll get me sup
per when 1 go lti3ldc. Good night.
He gazed at me In blank astonishment.
"Good-night!" he said, with a htr.inge
pause between each word, and a strange
emphasis on each. It sounded like a new
slang word to me. "Good night' Aln t
girls the oddest, funniest things'."
I entered the hotel and ordered tea.
The negro waitress seemed to think that
strange. She brought at last a grimy
tray, and I poured out that tea so eager
iv I was so tired and thirsty, and at
such -times an KngUshwoman's .undby is "'T'mTbodV Intends tofol-
a CUP Ul ii. .." - ..-,.--of
the cup that cheers, but mt In
ebriates." Its villainous taste still lingers
In my memory!
That night I slept mv soundest steep
for many a day. for I was uulte worn
out. I think that disappointments bring a
greater pht steal exhaustion In their train
than any mere bodily effort ever could.
THE NK.VT MORNING.
Next morning, I woke early to a blazing
day. I used to love the sunlight as it
gently shone on English woods and fields.
It made the little weakly things people
and plants grow big and strong- The
old folks, at the cottage doors sat in the
sunlight all day long. But this fler-e
glaring sun hurts and destroys tho weak
ly things. The poor old people in the
streets are overcome, while great strong
men mop their w'et foreneads wearily.
Strange Insects buzzed around my room
In th
dow
what a mosqult
I breakfasted, then sat wrapped In
deep thought, reviewing my position My
assets now were but 17 Inthe world, good
health and a courageous heart and If
that failed? It must not fall. It should
not fall.
"I am tho S-fajter of my Fate
I am the Captain of my Soul'"
said I courageously. "The tide must sure.
ly turn for me, and I shall work so hard;
It must!"
Next, I then planned a sort of working
scheme. A private sccretarship to me
seemed most attractive. Such posts must
be quite plentiful In this great city. I
fondly pictured a nice residential post,
with pleasant occupation, pleasant hours.
My letter soon must rrach my uncle,
and. anyhow. I would request his new ad.
dress be given me at the general post
oftice. Thither I set off hopefully An.
other disappointment awaited me there.
"Gone off. with nn present address
given." was nil that they could tell me I
asked them to direct me to the nearest
employment agency and there another
sad dlsilluslonmetn awaited me.
AT THK KMPI.OVMBNT AQENCV.
It was a long, low room, and at'
desk a stern-faced woman sat, with two
assistants close behind. On a long row
of clulrx were tired women worker of all
ages, all with a dull and apathetic look.
To me there was a pathos in that room.
In their strained, anxious face. Would
I ever grow to be like one of these? Ah,
no!
When m turn came I found I must
pay n dollar to enrol mv name upon their
bonks. The strrti-fared women then lt

he tailed attention to the fact that there

these Jews the christian gospel. In clos

that many of the younger generation of
Jews are fajjt drifting away from the
teachings ot their ancestors and leaving
the Orthodox Hebrew synagogues for

Mrs. Rudolph Blnnkenburg, wife of
the Mayor of Philadelphia, has returned
to town after two months spent at her
country home In I'ocono Pines, followed
by a fortnight In Siptember at Atlantic
City.
On the devastation and suffering of
warfare Mrs. Blankenburg holds decid
ed views. "I think this war. as war.
Is a terrible thing" said she. "and 'I
kno wthat, when the women of the
world are consulted there will bo more
peace. It Is a stock argument of the
anti-suffragists that women cannot fight,
but the antl-suffraglsts overlook the
fact that It Is the women who produce
the fighters. I know many mothers
w ho want their children to go and fight
for their country, but I believe that
the majority of women hate the very
hen women have a
voice In the Government It will be far
more difficult to have war! Personally,
when I think of the widows and orphans
left 1 can find no excure nor apology
for It.
"One of the worst features about
war." continued Mrs. Blunkeuburg earn
estly, "Is that the hale and hearty young
man. who, before he Is accepted by th'.
army authorities, must see well, and
be well, and have a fine physique, is
being killed, while the lame and the
blind and the feeble stay at home to
be tho fathers of the next generation.
Thit is the vital point In which war
fare weakens a nation fo much."
Mrs Blankenburg has just given up
the vice presidency of the General Fed
eration of Women Workers, as she finds
she cannot devote tho necessary
to it this winter.
"Do you think the woman worker
tho happiest?"
"I think that every man and woman, m
matter whether they are rich or poor,
should do some work to insure their
own happiness and growth," said the
Mrtor'b wife. ' It gives them a wider
outlook In every way, too. No matter
who earns their own living, It Is hard
work It is a difficult thing to gel started
Into a way of comfortably earning a
living, and so long as women have to
earn their own living this evolution is
making it easier for" them to be prop
erly prepared and equipped for the strug
gle .-'o long as women do go out of the
home to work they cannot be too well
equipped."
"Do you think the very rich woman
works as hard as the average middle
class worker, who earns her own llv
ins?" "There are a great many kinds of
work," said Mrs. Blankenburg. "A great
many rich women who are supposed to
lead easy, leisured lives work border
than many o poor woman. You cannot
live in luxury and elegance without hav.
Ing a good deal of care along with It."
"Do you think there is as much hap.
piness among tho poor as among the
rich?"
"I think," said Mrs. Blankenburg, "that
poor people, provided they are not
actually hungry or In want, have as much
chance to be happy as the rich. In fact.
I think the man or woman who ha a
comfortable home and a little money In
the bank is Infinitely happier than tho
-ine who keeps anxiously counting his
millions.
"I should like," she continued, "as a
suffragist, to express my gratification
that the ladles' Home Journal had so
promising an editorial in Its September
number, this editorial stating that it
would be well for women to get ready
for tne ballot."

nobody ever taught me, either.
"When anything gets broken around
the house I can fix It. So I'm going to
work as a carpenter's apprentice. I'm
going to get 5! a week and I nm going
to pay a dollar board every week, too.
Maybe I ain't glad."
"TEACHER A "TYRANT."
'I am going to quit school because I
don't like mv teacher,' was the answer
of a plump, snub-nosed little girl. "She
always had a spite on me and ehe knows
it, too. When anything went wrong she
alwavs blamed it on me. She said I
didn't tell the truth and I was stupid
and I was always coming to school late
and I had dirty hands and that I never
studied, and. oh. you ought to hear all
the nasty thlng3 she use to say about
me. But I don't care. I am going to
quit, and now I wonder who she's going
to pick at. I have a job as a cash girl."
"I should worry," exclaimed a more
optimistic girl. "I got a job in a rib
bon factory, and maybe they'll like me
and give me a raise and maybe they
won't. Maybe I won't like them and then
I'll quit. I'm going to take a chance. I
should worry."
"Pop says If I want spending money
I'll have to work for it," was the reason
given by 11-year-old Charles L. "He says
he's tired of handing out coin to me all
the time and if I want to go to movle3
I can o-arn the money for It. He got me
a good job at $o a week In a stocking
mill."
HARD TIMES. BOY'S REASON.
"I ain't got a Job yet." confided Sam
uel T., "but I'll have to go to work.
Ilard times has struck our house and
my father and oldest brother are out
of work. So I guess I have a right to
earn something for the family. I'm
half glad I'm going to quit school, be
cause when I'm working I can go out
at nights, but I'm sorry that I'll have
to quit my education. They say you
can't ever "amount to anything without
an education. Anywny, the teacher gave
me some old books to keep and when I
gel time after 1 have a job I am going
to study up."
Henry R. had decided upon an experi
ment. "I am going to quit school for
a while, anyway." he said, "and I think
I'll go to work as an office boy. If I
like It I'll stick and If I don't I'll go
back to school. I'm yoang yet and I
got plenty time to try things out. When
I'm a man I want to be a prize fighter,
but the fellows tell me I'm too young
for that yet."
All of tho applicants were between the
ages of 14 nnd 15. Children younger
than that cannot leave school and chil
dren who have attained their ICth birth
day are not required to obtain labor
certificates. Remarkable differences
were noted In the height of tho various

in this 6tUe at Stratf-id In 1TS3. -
BURLtN, Sept M.
No small part of the fortitude with
which the women of Germany are bear
ing the hardships of war Is due to the
Inspliing example of tho Knlserln Au
gustu Victoria, who Is practically giving
her wiiolo time to the work of visiting
the sick nnd wounded soldiers.
She has given up her residence at
Potsdam Palace, where she usually spends
this time of the year when In town, and
is living with her daughtcr-ln-law,
Princess Eltel Frlcdrlch, In tho quiet
little Bellevuo Paluce, Just off tho Tler
gartcn. Every morning a severely plain, gray
motorcar, not hearing the Imperial stand
ard which usually llutters from automo
biles occupied by members of the Im
perial family, draws up beforo the palace
door, and the Kiilscrln stops In with one
of her ladles In waiting. Frequently she
Is accompanied cither by Crown Prlm-i.
Cecllle. Princess August Wllhclm, Prin
cess Eltel Frledrich, or her daughter,
Princess Victoria Louise, now Duchess
of Brunswick.
FLOWERS FOR SOLDIERS
The car is filled with huge baskets of
cut flowers, Intended for distribution
among the soldiers.
Tho military hospitals in Berlin are
widely scattered over the large area from
tho garrisons at Doeberltz In the north
west to hospital sheds which have been
erected on Tcmpelhofer Feld. To vlsft
even a part of them In the course of a
wtek would be Impossible, but the
Kalserln Is untiring and conscientiously
endeavors to visit not only every hos
pital, but every cot.
n I!S,nrcls not ,tlme to flnl:! with
a. hospital In the morning, she comes back
,i Jf fV' 'fK'nn'nff her visit where
iii J,' '" r,dcl' that " sl"fi'e soldier
will be disappointed. No soldier falls to
receive a keepsako In the form of a
flower, and It Is pathetic to sco the care
with which the wounded men treasure
these souvenirs of her coming.
However busy the day, slie usually
finds time for a few words with every
man.
Another member of the royal famllv
who is indefatigable In helping the Red
Cros and tho work of other relief organi
zations Is the Crown Princess Cecllle,
wiiose Immense popularity among all
classes has been Immeasurably Increased
by her hard, sclf-sacrlllcing work In be
half of tho poor and relatives of tho men
In the field.
PRINCESS BENEFICENT.
Just as the Kalserln has devoted her
self especially to the wounded 3oIdlcrs,
the Crown Princess has made the father
less families the subject of her special
care, and people's kitchens opened in
various parts of Berlin owe their suc
cess in no small measure to the energy
with which she has thrown herself Into
the work.
She often calls herself for a plate of
soup and bread, distributed in generous
portions at the price of 10 pfennings a
plate; not Infrequently on busy days she
has made her own midday meal upon
the regular kitchen fare.
Following her example, many of the
tlcheyt and met fashionable women of
German sclety have gone io work with
a will to help the relief societies, and the
spectacle of a. lady of high title, with her
sl-eve rolled up, ladling out bowls of
soup for hours at a time, Is no longer a
novelty.
ACROSS THE COUNTER
The output of inexpensive glovf 3 that are,
nevertheless, very good looking, appears
to Increase to meet an Increasing de
mand. There Is a glove of a woven material
called leatherette that requires very close
inspection to distinguish It from doeskin
or suede.,
These leatherette gloves In gp.ys and
tans are sold for 60 cents a pair.
A chamolsctte glove that clesely re
Femble white suede is sold In the IS
button length for $1.
Children's chamolsette gloves In chamois
color and gray and tan coBt 50 cents a
pair.
These gloves wash very well, and It Is
advised by the dealers to use cold or
tepid water rather than hot and to let
them lie In soapsuds Instead of rubbing
them too vigorously.
So far thore seems to be no very great
increase In price In the staple kid gloves.
A very good quality of street glove
with one clas-p sells for 1 now. This is
In the many shades of tan.
Another good glove at the eame price
is a doeskin In the different shades of
gray.
C'ape-skln gloves for women and chil
dren are selling for J1.J5 a pair. These
are a sensible glove for shopping and for
school wear In the case of children.
The very smart dogskin glove, hand
sewn and of English make, costs !..
At the same price there Is a heavy
dogskin glove with one clasp and with
outseams.
Whether or not the price of gloves will
rise as the supply dlmlshes Is a matter
of conscience on the one hand and con
jecture on tho other.
But e-ven If the price remains sta
tionary, there may come a time when
kid gloves will be out of the market alto
gether, If the European war lasts for
several years, as It is predicted that It
will by many military men.

Refuses Aid After Help
ing Refugees on the Continent.
LONDON, Sept. 25.
Miss Samllla L. Jameson, a young girl
who has been studying art in Vienna,
has arrived In London from The Hague
penniless and alone hut In every other
respect unique among the thousands ot
American refugees who have arrived In
London during the last two months.
For Miss Jameson not only docs not
demand that the American Relief Com
mittee supply her with means to reach
her home in Logansport, Ind., but re
fuses to accept asslitanco from any
source.
"I shall earn my way homo or stay
here until I have done so." she said. She
earned her wav from Vienna to Berlin,
from Berlin to The Hague and from The
Hague to London.
"There were enough people who really
couldn't do anything In Vienna," she
added, "without able-bodied and Intel
ligent Americans taking advantage of
the whole-hearted generosity of volun
teer committees, so I just told them I'd
work for the committee until I had
earned enough to get me out of Europe.
"After I'd earned my passage to Ber
lin I went there and offered my services
to Major Ryan. In charge of the Amer
ican Committee. He was very short
handed, especially In the lost baggage de
partment, bo I jumped In and helped try
to locate thousands of trunks that were
scattered from one end of the German
Empite to the other.
"After two weeks in Berlin things
had cleared up sufficiently to wnrrant
mv leaving and paying my faro to The
Hague, where I found the American Com
mittee even worse off for assistants.
"Assistant Secretary of War Breck
eurldge save me a Job for three days.
I worked fiom S a. m. tilt 10 at night.
My chief Job was doing 'scoring' work.
"A great many wealthy Americans in
Vienna refused to believe conditions were
going to become very serious so far as
they wvre concerned, and had settled
down to stay until the war was over.
"Secretary Breckenrldge had urgent or
ders to force every American to get
away. He made me a deputy to convince
thes-e scoffers that they'd better 'get.'
"Consequently I had to stay nt The
Hague ten dnys helping the committee.
This fixed me so I could get to London
and here I am."
Stiss Jameson, however. Is confident
that "something will turn up," and de
clares she can earn steerage passage to
New York without difficulty. She man
aged to save her baggage In her cir
cuitous travels.

NOVELTY PREVAILS
IN JUVENILE MODES
FOR AUTUMN WEAR
Variety Sought From Nor
folk and "Middy" Suits. 1
Plaited Skirts and Appro-
priate Trimming Mark '
New Styles.
To dress a child suitably and becom-
Ingly requires careful thought and plan,
nlng. There aro ono or two styles, such
bb tho Norfolk suit -and tho sailor suit I '
that ycaV after year still hold their nlac
as both "smart" and practical.
Children dcelre variety, however n
much as their elders, and they are verv
much Inclined to rebel If they are Urn.
Itcd to these set styles, though certalnlv
It Is better to be on the sldo of dressing
them too plainly, rather than bnv !,.-.
appear In clothes that aro too elaborate
or over-trlmmed.
At Ptpsent tho fashion magazines and
tho shops show many new Ideas for
dressos for llttlo girls. These are very
charming, and a number aro both pretty
and quaint.
It Is almost criminal to dress a child
In something that is distasteful to her
when thoro Is so much from which to
choose.
Tho stripes and plaids that find such
a conspicuous placo In the costumes
showing are usually favorites with little
girls, perhaps because they are bright
and gay.
They nro both more effective when they
are treated simply than In any other
manner, nnd there are various ways of
uslntf plaids nnd stripes without very
much In the way of trimming.
Tho llttlo dress In tho Illustration Is
made of striped gabardine, with a dull
gray-bluo ns'the foundation color. This,
with a dnrker blue stripe and a line of
canary color, makes a very harmonious
whole. ,
The long waist of the dress, cut on ths
bias, fastens under the tucks In front.
The sleeves aro set Into a rather long
shoulder and aro cut with the Btiipo run
ning lengthwise.
The sailor collar and turned-backed
cuffs are finished with a nanow accor
dion plaiting of a soft silk that just
matches In tone the gray blue of the
foundation color of the stripe.
The skirt Is knlfc-plaltcd and Is set on
quite full, and tho little sash Is cut on
tho bias of the silk and Is fastened at
tho back under a bow which has a silk
covered buckle at Its centre Instead of
a knot.
Knife-platted and nccordlon-plaltert
skirts are being used again to a great
extent, and In the shops that cater to the
Juvenile trade the plaited skltts arc used
for school frocks as welt as for other
occasions,
Striped materials, unless they are In the
very heavy weaves, lend themselves par
ticularly well to plaiting of any kind,
but tho knife plaiting Is particularly de
sirable, as It seems to stay In place at
least a reasonable length of time.
And the short sklrtsthat children wear
seem to stay in place longer than the
full-length ones that grown-up peoplj
wear.
HOUSEWIVES' EQUILIBRIUM
MAY PREVENT RISE IN SUGAR
Wholesalers Attribute Price Advance
To TJnusual Volume of Purchases.
Housewives of Philadelphia may pre.
vent a further rise In the cost of sugar,
according to wholesale grocery men, by
refusing to listen to advices to buy now
and veiled predictions of a rise In the
near future. There will be no advunoo
In the prices unless It Is forced by tht
consumers, the wholesale men say.
Sugar yesterday was selling at 7 cent:?,
a drop of a half cent In the last thret
day. The recent spectacular advancA
In the price of the commodity have been
due largely to the housewives, aceort
Ing to the wholesale men Consunvr
follow advice to buy In large quantities
and thus cause a demand that forces
up the price.
Francis B. Reeves, Jr., of Reeves, Par
vln & Co., wholesale grocers, of 116 South
Delaware avenue, and Comley, Flanlgaa
& Co,, IIS South Delaware avenue, sub
scribed to the suggestions. At the of
fice of the latter firm the opinion was
expressed that there Is no danger of
any appreciable rise In the near future.
