xn,
The knightly chivalry of ancient days I
Is ntlll alive, 1 think, though people often
Bav It tiled long years ago. some fay the
fniffrngettei at home have ended It, with
their wild raids nnd strange, destructive
schemes. 1 do not think that Is the case
It still must live.
I know the plrlt of a Galahad shone
In that Ireman's kindly face. He drove me
to the nearest hoarding house and rang
the bell.
We mint hac looked a curious com
bination he and I. The woman at the i
door eyed me suspiciously. She gazed at
the Ice wagon In un odd surprise. "Did
you come here on that?" she asked.
The Iceman moved to lift my luggage
down.
"You need not bring that trunk Inside
this hall," -niltl lu "We have no roon
here, anyhow." and eoed the door.
I felt as If a pall of Ice cold water hat
been thrown on me' Once n mv London
boarding school that actually did hap
pen, and I had the same sensation now
nn then. It was the funniest thing, that
ancient episode. On Sunday mornings
were piloted to church In one long croco
dile, two by two. quite on the scheme ol
Noah's Ark and always passed bene.it!
the windows of Ouy's Hospital. Amom
the medical students there was one ga
youth who from afar cact amorous eyei
upon the prettiest scholar in the school
Nay, more, he wrote her dnlly tender,
sentimental notes, until one Mid day our
German frauleln Intercepted them, hilt
the prettiest girl from that prim boarding
chool! ... .j
The would-be medico was sadly daunted
ly this sudden strange reverse, this for
tune's twist from tender dalliance to
tragedv. He rlotted cold revenge upon
that placid Teuton's head. Beneath the
windows of Guy's Hospital we once more
marched, our footsteps churchward bent.
He had the bucket ready, tilled with Ice
cold water. On Frauleln' military toque
he cast an angry, vengeful eye. Hut dis
appointed lov made h's hand tremble; he
ml-srd aim! T'pon my Innocent head the
floods from heaven broke. For Germany 3
misdeeds poor Hnglaud suffered.
THE GALLANT ICEMAN.
I had the same sensation once again
that evening when the door slammed shut
upon the gallant Iceman and myself.
We clambered on hifc wagon once again
and tried another boarding house-also in
vain! I must sign an agreement to staj
there one week at least and pay o In
advance. So on we moved.
At length we reached a cheap Hotel,
-which made no difficulty in taking me. I
thought It was a dreary looking place, but
glad I was to get there.
I thanked mv kindly Iceman, and he
tood there fumbling with his hat. He ' was
b. well-dreed. tftjlish jouth, so different
rom that claw of vvorklngman at home.
"Gee-whir."' said he. an I held out m
hand to bid him thanks and an adieu,
"maybe I wouldn't like to have a date
Uh you! Maybe I wouldn't kenl
your steady! I suppose you wouldn t
think of me as a steads fellow
To "taw a date'-what could he mean?
He must be offering some fruit to me
And "steady felloW-why. of course he
was! One saw It In his face.
"I know you are a steady man I
aid. "I'm sure you're splendid at jour
work. I won't take anything to eat,
Though, thank you. They'll get me sup
per when 1 e Inside Good neM.
' .. . i - t,. in l-'ink astonishment.
-Good-night!" he said, with a strange
, , ,ir c .,-1 I'd i trnnc-c
imphasls"on each. It sounded like a new
slam; word to me. "Good-nlglu Aln t
xlrls the oddest, funniest things
I entered the hotel and ordered tea.
The negro waitress seemed to think thit
strange. She brought at last a grlmv
tray, and I poured out that tea so eager
ly I was so tired and thirsty, and at
such times an Englishwoman's st indbv Is
a cup of tea. Alas, alas for rosy hopes
of "the cup that cheers, but not In
ebriates." Its villainous taste still lingers
In my memory!
That night I slept my soundest sleep
for many a day. for I was quite worn
out. I think that disappointments bring a
greater phvslcal exhaustion In their train
than any mere bodily effort ever could.

PLUCKY AMERICAN
GIRL EARNS MONEY

Safe in London, Art Student

asslstance from any
LONDON, Sept. 35.
Miss Samilla 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 of
American refugees who have arrived In
London during the last two months.
For Miss Jameson not only does not
demand that the American Relief Com

"I shall earn my way home or stay

from Berlin to The Hague and from The

"There were enough people who really

Mis. Rudolph Hlankenburg, 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 September at Atlantic
City.
On the devastation and suffering of
warfare Mrs. Iilankenburg holds decid
ed views "I think this war, as war.
Is a terrible thing " said she, "and I
know that when the women of the
world are consulted there will be more
peace. It is a stock argument of the
antl-suffraglsts that women cannot light,
but the antl-suffraglsts overlook the
fact that It Is the women who produce
the fighters. I know many mothers
who want their children to go and fight
for their country, but I believe that
the majority of -women hate the very
Idea of waifare. When women have ,i
voice In the Government It will be far
more difficult to have war! Personally,
when I think of tho -widows nnd orphans
left I can tlnd no excuse nor apology
for It.
"One of the worst features about
war," continued Mrs. Hlnnkenburg earn
estly, "is that the halo and hearty young
man, who, before he Is accepted by the
army authorities, must see well, and
bo well, and have a fine physique. Is
being klllud, while the lame and the
blind and the feeble stay at home to
be the fathers of the next generation.
That Is the vital point in which war
fare weakens a nation so much."
Mrs. Hlankenburg has just given up
the vice presidency of the General Fed
eration of Women Workers, as she finds
she cannot devote tho necessary time
to It this winter.
"Do yeu think the woman worker Is
the happiest?"
"I think that every man and woman, no
matter whether they are rich or poor,
should do some work to Insuie their
day.

It made the little weakly things-people
end plants-grow big and strong. The
old folks at the cottage doors sat In the
fcunllsht all day lon-. But this fierce
glaring sun hurts and destroys, the weak
ly things. The poor old people In the
etreets ire overcome, while sreat strong
men mop their wet foreheads wearily.
Strange Injects buzzed around my room
In that hotel, for I had drawn the win

what a mosquito bite is like!
I breikfasted. then fcat wropped In
deep thought, reviewing my position. My

AT THE EMPLOYMKN'T AGENCY.
It was a lonR. low room, and it
desk a stern-faced woman sat, with two
dsslttants close behind. On a long row
of rhalrs were tired women worker of all
aces, all vvlth a dull nnd apathetic look.
To me there was n pathos In that room.
In their strained, anilous faces. Would
I ever grow to be like one of these? Ah,
no1
When my turn came. I found I must
pay a dollar to enrol my name upon their
books. The stern-faced women then In.
quired what I could do? She had a

disconcerted me I know she summed me
up as "Inefficient ' at i Klatu-e IUr i

own living. It Is hard
work. It Is a difficult thing to get started
In ic way of comfortably earning a
living, and so Ioiir 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. So long as women do go out of the
homo to work, they cannot he too well

"Do you think the very rich woman
works ns hard as the average mlddle
clas.s worker, who earns her own liv
ing?" "There are a great many kinds of
work," said Mrs. Hlankenburg. "A great
many rich women who are supposed to
lead easy, leisured lives, work hardtr
than many a poor woman. You cannot
live In luxury and elegance without hav.
Ing a good deal of care along with It."
"Do ou think there is as much hap
piness among the poor as among the
rich?"
"I think," said Mrs. Hlankenburg, "that
poor people, piovlded they are not
actually hungry or In want, have as niuih
chance to be happy as tho rich. In fact.
I think the man or woman who ha a
comfortable home and a little money In

millions.
"I should like." she continued, "as a

Klghteen boys nnd seventeen girls ap
plied todny nt the headquarters of the
Bureau of Compulsory Education, 1522
Cherr street, for legal permission to
terminate their school careers and begin
work In the stores or factotles. Several
of the children were questioned ns to
the cnuses which made them ask for
labor certificates. The answers were re
markable. The first applicant was a little girl,
whoso wan face Indicated she had never
known ntiy other condition than poverty
nnd that heavy responsibilities had
checked her normal development.
"My fnther was killed In a railroad
accident," she stammered, "and ever
since that time my mother hns had a
hard time of It, She worked last jcar
as a scrublndy In nil office building, but
the doctor told her that If she didn't
want to die and leave Us kids all alone
she's better give up that job. So she
did. And now Jlmmlc, that's my oldest
brotner, who always made good money
working in a silk mill, Is only working
half time, and It's up to me to go to
work."
Ed'watd G., a robust lad of 1(5, ap
parently was delighted over his prospects.
"Either I was dumb or else I was la7.y,"
he confessed. "Anyway, I never was
any good In school. Half the time I
didn't get promoted, and my father thinks
I'd be bettor off at work. My mother
thinks so, too, and my uncle says I'll
make a good mechanic. I was always
handy with nails and hammers and things
like that. I can make furniture, and
nobody ever taught me, either.
"When anything gets broken around
the house I enn fix it. So I'm going to
work as a carpenter's apprentice. I'm
going to get J1 a week and I am going
to piy 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 my teacher," .was the answer
of a plump, snub-nosed little girl. "She
always had a spite on me and nhe knows
it, too. When anything went wrong she
nlwavs 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 things 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
Slven by H-year-old Charles L. "He says
he's tired of handing out coin to me all
the time and It I want to go to movies
I can earn the money for It. He got me
a good Job nt ?5 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.
Hard 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
nn education. Anyway, the teacher gave
me some old books to keep and when 1
get time after I 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," ho said, "and I think
I'll go to work as an offlce boy. If I
like It I'll stick and If I don't I'll go
back to school. I'm young yet and I
pot plenty time to try things out. When
I'm a man I want to be a prise fighter,
but the fellows tell me I'm too voung
for that yet."
All of the applicants were between the
ages of 14 and 16. Children younger
than that cannot leave school and chil
dren who have attained their 16th birth
day are not required to obtain labor
certificates. Rcmar'table differences
were noted In the height of the various
children. One boy was six feet tall and
another who stood near him, measured
but little more than the average child
of 8.

BliRMN, Sept 29,
No small .part of, the fortitude with
which tho wbmen of Germany are bear
ing tho hardships of war is due to the
Inspiring, example of the Knlserln Au
gusta Victoria, who Is practically giving
her whole time to the work of vlsltlns
tho sick nnd wounded soldiers.
She has given up her residence nt
Potsdam Palace, where she usually spends
this time of the year when In town, nnd
Is living with hor daughter-in-law,
Princess Eltel' Krlcdrich, in tho quiet
little Uellevue Palace, Just off the Tlcr
gartcti, Every morning a severely plain, gray
motorcar, not bearing the Imperial stand
ard -which usually nutters from automo
biles occupied by members of the Im
perial family, diaws up before the palace
door, and the Kalserln steps in with one
of her Indies In waiting. Frequently she
Is accompanied elthir by Crown Princess
Cecllle, Princess August Wllhclm, Prin
cess itltol Prledrlch, 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.
The military hospitals In Berlin are
widely scattered over the largo area from
the garrisons at Docbcrltz In the north
west to hospital sheds which have been
erected on Tcmpelhofer Feld. To visit
even a part of them in tho course of a
week would be Impossible, but the
Kalserln is untiring and conscientiously
endeavors to visit not only every hos
pital, but every cot.
When there Is not time to finish with
a hospital In the morning, she comes back
the next day, beginning her visit where
I'. left off, In order that no single soldier
will be disappointed. No soldier falls to
receive a keepsake In ths form of a
flower, and It Is pathetic to see the caro
with which the wounded men treasure
these souvenirs of her coming.
However busy the day, she usually
finds time for a, few words with every
man.
Another member of the royal family
vyho Is Indefatigable In helping the Red
Croa and the work of other relief organi
zations Is the Crown Princess Cecllle,
whose immense popularity among all
clasfles has been Immeasurably Increased
by her hard, self-sacrlflclng work In be
half of the poor and relatives of the men
In the field.
PRINCESS BENEFICENT.
Just as the Kalserln has devoted her
self especially to the wounded soldiers,
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 novsmaII measure to the energy
vvlth which she hns thrown herself Into
the work.
She often calls herself for a plate of
soup nnd bread, distributed in generous
portions at the price of 10 pfennings a
plate; not Infrequently on busy days sho
has made her own midday meal upon
the regular kitchen fare.
Following her example, many of the
richest and most fashionable- women of
German society have gone to work vvlth
a will to help the relief societies, and the
spectacle of a lady of high title, with her
f 1 ..vo rolled up, ladling out bowls of
soup for hours at a time, is no longer a
novelty.
PRODUCE PRICES NOT
AFFECTED BY WEATHER
Housewives Told by Dealers That
Costs Have Not Risen.
The fears of many housewives here
that the recent drought, coupled with
hudden changes In weather, would so
iiffect the crops of fruits and vegetables
as to bring about a raise In prices were
dispelled by Inquiry among the fruit and
produce dealers nnd growers today.
"The fruit crops," said a prominent
Dock street dealer, who expressed the
general feeling. "wl)h the possible ex
ception of apples nnd pears, have been
picked, and tree crops are not. as a rule,
very much affected by weather, anyway.
Peaches have been poor ever since the
beginning of the season, but there have
been plenty of them and prices have not
been ycry high accordingly.
"As for vegetables, there have never
lecn so many of them and they have
not been so cheap for a long time. It
is true that tomatoes have been scarce
and high, but to offset this there Is an
ahundance of onions, cucumbers and the
like selling for less than the cost of
raising them."

The output of Inexpensive gloves that are,
nevertheless, very good looking, appears
to Increase to meet an Increasing de

called leatherette that requires very cloee
InspecUon to distinguish it from doeskin

These leatherette gloves In grys and

Children's chamolsetto gloves In chamoh

These gloves wash very well, and It Is

them lie In soapsuds Instead of rubbing
them too vigorously.
So far there seems to be no very great

A very good quality of street glove
with ono clasp sells for $1 now. This is
In tho many shades of tan.
Another good glove at the same price
Is a doeskin In the different shndes of
gray. x
Cnpeskln gloves for women and chil
dren are selling for 1.25 a pair. These
are a sensible glove for shopping nnd for
school' wear In tho case of chlldien.
The very smart dogskin glove, hand
sewn and of English make, costs jl,t0.
At the same price there Is a -heavy
dogskin glove with ono clasp and with
outseams.
Whether or not the price of gloves will
rise ns the supply dlmlshes is a matter
of conscience on the one hand and con
jecture on the other.
But even If tho price remains nta
tlonary. 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 la predicted that It
will by many military men.

At present the hlon magazines ana
the shops show J,nny cw )(,eas f"
dresses for little fcs. Theso are veri
charming and a nt,Ucr aro both pr UJ
and quaint. i '
It la almost crlmli to dress a child
in something thnt Ik distasteful to her
when thoro Is so mh from which to
choose. j
The stripes and pM that find such
a conspicuous place the costumes
showing are usually rallies with lltllo
girls, perhaps because hey aro bright
and gay.
They arc both more effetlve when ther
are treated simply thann any other
manner, and there aro vVious way of
using plaids and stripes without very
much In the way of trlmmig.
The little dress In the lustration U
made of striped gabardine, with a dull
gray-blue ns the foundation olor. This,
with a darker blue stripe a, a line of
canary color, makes a very iarmonloui
whole.
The long waist of the dress, ut on ths
bias, fastens under tho tucks In front
Tho sleeves aro set Into a rahor loni
shoulder and are cut with the sVlpe run
ning lengthwise. ,
The sailor collar and turne.tacke4
cuffs are finished with n narrot accor
dion plaiting of n soft silk tht Just
matches In tone the gray blueW ths
foundation color of the stripe. 1
The skirt Is knlfe-plaltcd nnd isnet on
quite full, nnd the little sash is W on
the bias of the silk and is fastefed at
the back under a bow which has aUk
covered buckle at Its centre lnsted of
a knot. '
Knlfe-plalted nnd accordlon-pMttd
skirts arc being used again to a great
extent, and In the shops that cater tdthe
Juvenile trade the plaited skirts are tied
for school frocks as well as for' otiet
occasions. 1
Striped materials, unless they are In III
very heavy weaves, lend themselves pi--tlcularly
well to plaiting of any klik
but the knife plaiting Is particularly 61
slrablc, ns it seems to stay In place i
least a reasonable length of time.
And the short skirts that children wesl
seem to stay in place longer than tho
full-length ones that grown-up people
wear.
