LIFE'S ODD WAYS
INCOMPREHENSIBLE
The World Is So Full of
Such Wonderful Things
That I'm Sure We Should
All Be as Happy as Kings.
XXIV.
Four weeks have passed sine that Sep
tember night when I sat, pen In hand,
for hours, and hours, to write the strange
new happenings of my life. In spite of
having made come friends I hnd been
hero In Philadelphia slnro the end of
July yet I felt tho anddest girl on earth
that rnlny autumn night when I flrat
started to record tho tale.
The rain Uept dripping on the roof that
night, and my sad thoughts were but poor
company. A mother's death, the loss of
home and friends In England, with tho
strangeness of a lodging hnuso In this
new country, prowl a burden very hard
to bear. The absence of an unci whom
I knew would welcomo me had ho been
here was yet another disappointment, too.
October now Is come, and life has tuned
up to a brighter key. I still am a stenog
rapher, hut now more reconciled to all Its
routine though this position only lasts
another week.
Tonight I feel a strange elation and a
curious new sense of happiness to come
I wonder why? I will not, muit not, look
too deep within my heart!
Last night I spent a very pleasant
evening with most kindly friends. Tho
llttlo spinster who had been a member
of the ''Wostern Planet" order gave a.
party In my honor In her house.
"My dear," paid she. "I want to Intro
duce you to the right sort ot people, and
you certainly will meet such at our
home' My brother ha- the nicest sort of
friends he Is a lawyer, and a real stick
ler for etiquette. We have these small
Informal receptions once a week."
THD LITTLC GRAY CiOWN.
To grace the evening I unearthed right
from th bottom of my shabby trunk a
simple little gown of gray. It la three
months now since my mother died, and
last night was the llrst occasion on which
I wore anything but the deepest blnck.
To me the thought that lies behind tho
nnttlnir-on of mourning seems a
purely
pagan one,
If we believe that relatives
.tiH friends twvn "massed neross" Into a
huppier world than tlCs, where tears ore
dried on every cheek and every heart
ache washed away, why mourn In deepest
black because their pain is gone? Are
they not happier far than we? I know
that in another world my mother's kind
ly .eyes are watching me. 1 know that
she Is happy, and if any hearta-he ever
could come to her there It is because she
thinks that I am lonely now that she has
gone away. . ,
So I put on the little gown of Quaker
grny.'cut In the English style, with "new-hit
rose half hidden In the snowy folds
of the wide fichu that I wore draped on
the shoulders of the dress. I 'H to fix
my hair right in the newest fashion, nut

In that stiffened way. It broke into the

I thought her welcome was the kindli

room, and there her brother greeted nw
cordially. "We are so g.ad t see yon

other guests. .

MRS. WILLIAM I. HULL, OF SWARTHMORE
Chairman of the Suffrage Committee in the State Federation of Penn
sylvania Women. The question of suffrage comes up for indorsement or
rejection at the Pittsburgh meeting next week. Mrs. Hull, a model club
woman, was for several terms president of the Swarthmore Woman's Club,
one of the most active and influential clubs in the State. Mrs. Hull is a
daughter of Isaac H. Clothier and wife of Prof. William I. Hull, (Swarthmore
College), secretary of the Pennsylvania Peace and Arbitration Society. The
Suffrage Committee, which Mrs. Hull directs, has been particularly active
during this year in pursuance of the resolution of the 1913 convention, when
it was voted that the question of suffrage pro and con be carefully studied
and presented to all clubs throughout the year. These considerations become
basis for action this year at Pittsburgh. October 13-16. when from enlightened
discussion will come the definite decision concerning the popular voice on
the suffrage question. Keenest interest centres about the action, for it will
be made and stand as representative of Pennsylvania's 32,000 federated
clubwomen.

CHILDREN'S CORNER
'before the sandman comes
O'
NCF. upon a time, a little green '
leat lived up in a tree away
up near the tip. tip top.
course, he was jtut a babv leaf:
Of
but he was so kttirdy and strong that
he didn't stay a baby leaf very long. '
First thing the old mother tree knew
there was another baby leaf on ihe
tip, tip top, and the erstwhile babv
leaf wa a full-sired leaf as big and
l runt' and green as any on the tree!
The leaves had a beautiful time all
the days plaing with the sunbeams
and dancing with the breezes, and
all the nights visiting with the winds.
One day in the fall the south wind
rushed up to the tree at twilight.
"Oh, listen," he panted, "I've got
the must wonderful news1''
"Really! Do tell us!" shouted the
wh'ile tree full of leaves all at once.
"I've seen an aeroplane," said the
wind "It's right over ihere in that
field, and it's going to fly tomorrow!"'
"To fly!" "How can it?" "Where
is it'" shouted different (eaves all at
the same time. ,
"Yes, it will fly," answered the wind
"It is right over there in the field
and I heard the men talking about it
as I came by."
"We can sec it tomorrow, then,"
said the old mother tree sensibly,
"and there's no need at all for,dll -u
leaves to get so excited at bedtime.
Just go to sleep now," she added, to
iiasb and Jorilk acre
MT LADY'S HANDS
There, are many little ways by which
the hands can be tnken care of, although
dnlly domestic duties nre carried through.
Begin the night before, nnd wash the
hands thoroughly with warm water and
good toilet soap. A little oatmeal may he
used at the same time, tied In a piece
of muslin, or put Into the palm of one
hand, nnd used as soap. This removes
dirt very quickly without roughening the
skin. Pay great attention to tho nails
and to the skin at the base. When quite
clean, rinte out every trace of soap or
oatmeal and dry thoroughly. Afterwards
rub In a slmplo emollient, nnd wear a
pair of old kid or chamois gloves, with
the palms pierced for ventilation. Dur
ing the day wear gloves when performing
any kind of rough work, nnd never nllow
the hands to remain wet or Imperfectly
dried. Stains are removed from the
hands with a. piece of cut lemon or a
little vinegar and snlt mixed. Pumice
soap tablet Is a useful thing for the same
purpose.
TO DRY TLUMS
You will find this a very useful recipe,
If you happen to have a large supply of
this fruit, (iather the plums when they
are not too ripe, and prick them In sev
eral places with a darning needle. For
every pound of fruit allow half a pound
of sugar, nnd melt this In a little water,
skimming it frequently. Now add the
plums; boil for half an hour; lift them
out, and boll the sugar for 51 minutes,
or until it "candles." which you can tell
bv taking a ijrfnall quantity In n spoon.
nnd letting It drop until it threads out
in strings; turn it owr the plums, and
let them dry In a cool oven, stirring Ihem
about eery few minutes. When nicely
candled, put into boxes
the leaves, "and in the mornine we
can see the wh"le tiling" So the
wind slipped away in the twilight and
the leaves went to siecrv-everv one.
Next morninp, sure enough, some
men came and worked on the queer
looking thing railed an aeroplane anil
soon, with a whir and a chug of its
engines, it rose through the air like
a great bird.
Back and forth across the heavens
it flew and every little leaf on the
whole tree looked in wonder at the
marvelous sight. i
When the aeroplane had disap
peared in the distance, the leaf on the
tip top branch said: "I want to do
that! f want to he an aeroplane; to
get away from this old tree and sail
through the air like a bird'"
"Better stay where you are and be
thankful," advised the old tree but
the leaf paid no attention. He fretted
and fumed and twisted and turned till
he wrenched himself loose from the
old mother tree!
"Good-by." he called as he sailed
away, "I'm sorry you can't fly
thropgh the air, too!" Across the
str? ., and across the yards, hither
atv yon he sailed and he felt very ,
grand dnd happy.
For he didn't know, as you and I
do. that ere long he'd be brown and
dead and burned up in a big bonlire'

A THOUGHTFUL HUSBAND
Mrs. Smith hnd a colored maid who
hnd been with her for somo time.
The girl left her and got married. A
few months later sho came to see Mrs.
Smith.
"Well, Mnndy," nsked the former mis
tress, "how nre you getting along?"
"Oh, fine, ma'am, thank you," the
brldo answered.
"Is your husband a good provider?"
"Yes, 'deed he am, ma'am," said
Mnndy, enthusiastically. "Why, Jes' dis

places to wash at."
AN UNHAPPY ANSWER
The palm for absont-mlndednesi Is
probably taken by a learned German.
One day the professor noticed his wife
placing a lnrge bouquet on his chair.
"What does that mean?" he nsked.
"Why," sho exclaimed, "don't you know
that this Is the anniversary of your mar
riage?" "Ah, Indeed: Is It?" said the professor
politely. "Kindly let mo know when
yours comes around and I will recipro
cate the favor."
EVERY CLOUD
"What." said a bachelor to a benedict,
"married only a year nnd nheady so
miserable?"
'Ah. but," groaned tho benedict. "I
nver Imnglned that a wife would prove
eo expensive "
The bachelor patted the unhappy mar
ried man on the back In a consolatory
way.
"Yes," he snld, "a wife Is nn expen
sive article, that la true; but then you
must remember that sho lnsts a very
long time."

TAILOR-MADE GIRL
COMING BACK TO '
FASHION'S REALM
Frocks of Fluff and Frill
Make Way for Plain Shirt
and Practically Cut Skirt.
The tailor-made girl la walking, In her
own aure-footed way, back Into the arena
of fashion. Frocks all fluff and frills
alienated the feminine heart for a time,
and tho plain shirt and the severely cut
skirt were slighted unless golf or tennis
or tho out-of-doors gavo thorn a brief
hour's favor.
Tho tailored blouse appears this sea-son
In a variety of materials, sllka and linen
nnd even nlieer batiste. Tho yoke Is Its
familiar spirit onco more, not tho pointed '
yoke popular ln tho past, but a yoke cut
straight at the back and prolonging the
shoulder lino In front.
The tub ellks nre quite smart again,
with the striped silk a greater favorlta
than tho plain white or solid color.
They slay fresh so much longer than
linen oolawn, nnd they launder so easily
nnd well that they are far more practical
than the shirt that Is made of any other
material.
Tho blouse sketched today Is of striped
wash silk, with a flaring collar and turn
back cuffs of linen, stiffly starched.
The narrow string tie, popular onoa
more, ties below the V of the blouse,
whloh la only Just deep enough for tha
free movement of the throat and not th
elongated V of tho summer blouse.
Tho aklrt Is out after an old pattern
that In acquiring now prestige. It Is close
at the hlpa and gored In a way that
glvcB enough width at tho foot for free
dom In walking.
There Is a deep yoke to tho skirt with
a simulating fold In front, along which
three buttons nro ranged for ornamental
nnd not for utilitarian purposes. Tha
skirt buttons In the back genuinely.
Tho pocket, plnccd rather low on the
skirt beneath tho yoke. Is useful and
gives the masculine touch necessary to
tho success of all tnllorcd garments.
For the business girl or woman there
Is nothing so appropriate for office wear
as the plnln skirt nnd blouse.
Tho trim tailored look Is very attractive
under nil circumstances, but office con
ditions make it sensible nnd suitable.
The vogues change too quickly In ths
elaborately cut or trimmed frocks to
make them a wise Investment for prac
tical wear; thnt Is, for wearing for ,
season, day ln and day out.
But- tho slmplo shirt and tho severely '
cut skirt look as well on their last day
as on their first In fact, to the very end

One Eye Should Bo Used, As Is Casa
With Cnmern.
Photographs should be looked at with
only one eye, to appear best, states IA
W. Marlow In an article on "How to
Look nt a Photograph" ln Photo-Era.
"Most photographs, particularly small '
ones of landscapes, street scenes and In
teriors, fall to produce their full effect; or
to bo estimated nt their true value, be
cause Ihey nre not looked at In tho nioit
effective way," the author snys. "Tako
as an example a print resulting from a
camera with a five-Inch focus lens. Such
a print Is usually looked at with both
eyes open, nnd held nt a distance of 13
Inches or more. Now a camera Is essrn
tlally a ono-eyd Instrument, or, nt any
rate, It views the obiect to be repro
duced from a single point, the optical
centre of the lens. Tho object must b
looked at, therefore, with one eyo only,
nnd from a point corresponding as nearly
us possible to the optical centre of th
lens If its characteristics as it Is to bi
reproduced In the camera nre to be ap .1
pi eclated.
"bet It be remembered that when a
print Is -looked nt with both eyes open
binocular vision emphasizes the flntnesj
nf the curd, nnd this tends to offset tha
Illusion of greater or less dlstanco pro

spective of the print, llv using one evi

minished If nt the Mtno time the eys
be placed Jt the right distance, every
thing U soon under Its natural ansls
or perspective, nnd the picture unfold!
llself, tho different oblccts receding to .
their proper relathe distances, makinj
details very ohvlous which may be un

"As a sort of corollary to the nboe.
uso ono ee alone to deride whether a
landscape oi other siene Is worth taklnj.
If with ono ee the srene looks flat. It
will not make i satisfactory photograph,"
