EVENING LKDOER-rHILADELPHIA, phttiAV. urAKCH 10, 101B; 10 WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW NEW FASHIONS AND PRACTICAL SUGGESTKJ wijpwwr'BqFrp ASMARTGlKl DIARY TV r THE SENSITIVE HEART By ELLEN ADAIR jjspl&sHJfc v Oi Mistaken Blindness An extraordinary number of otherwlnq nulte pano ami normal people Imagine thnt to be rude and blunt In manner Is the outward nnd visible sign of nti Inde pendent mind nnd enlightened viewpoint. How educated people can fall Into nliy such, delusion Is n positive tmstcry! For rudeness and btuntiicim nro very, very far from being recommendations. Upon tho contrary, tlicy come perilously near being vices. J,I always say Just what t think, my dear, so don't bo offended," Is tlio pre lude to many an Impertinent tcniurk. But It certainly doesn't remove or excuse tfie Impertinence. rius ofllcIouR woman who Is forever setting the whole world aright nnd who lias nothing to learn but everything to teach In a. universe so blinded as tliK l3 nlwajs with us. Wo can't Ret lid nt lior and we haven't the hcait to put her In her pluce. In a vnguc. nminycd way wo cannot help admiring her for her Impertinence. For, although her position is more to he Interpieted as olllolous than oftlclal, she certainty lias tlio courage of her convictions. "You know I am a firm believer In speaking my mind on all nnd every occa sion," sho will assert proudly, ns If lack of self-control wero n virtue. Yes, Indeed, wo know It. and know It only too well, too. And the knowledge Is not conducive to any sort of affection tow aid the blunt nnd outspoken lady who has so little rcgaid for our feelings. Fdr wo nie nil very, very huiiuin. No man or woman on eailh likes to have his or her faulta pointed out. It Is de cidedly dit-concertlng, and no feel no earnluss of gratitude or spontaneous affection toward the one who so ruth lessly tears tho last shred fiom our Illu sions. The woman who pi Ides herself on her btuntncsH will never In this world he popular. She may Imagine that she Is, she may have n long list of acquaint ances. Hut they are nothing more than mere acquaintances. Thcv never will bo friends. For friendship never yet flour ished on the soil of a rude and unthink ing blindness. And friendship. I a mat ter .so Impm lant that It takes time and attention and proper treatment, and ic qulrcs lots or care ami thought. A chance rcmaik, nu unkind speech, a misjudged phrase or the unhnppv turn of n sentence may prove the drntlt blow to friendship. And most assuredly are rudeness ami bluntiicss of speech t lie nrst mills lit Its coffin. The woman who prides herself on her btuntiiess of speech Is seldom cultured or even well educated, ntnl most assuredly oddly lacking In sensitiveness. And sensi tiveness la n quality lo ho ptb.ed III these careless, rough-nntl-rendy dnjs. "Hut It doesn't do to be sensitive," do ctaicd n kepllcat Individual tho oilier day. "Long yeais ago, I used to havs a sensitive Eott of disposition myself, strnliBe ns It may now seem. 1 felt things very keenly, Indeed I did. Chance phrmes and casual tcmarks would mean n great iie.11 In my Interpretation, nnd altogether It was very unpleasant nhd uncomfort able, fa'o I decided to have no moro of It, mid to assume a bluntnrss If I had It not, ns n sort of armor ngnlnst tho sllnsjs nnd arrows of my friends' criticisms." "And ou succeeded?" luqulied nn In tcicted hearer. "Oh, j ps, I sureceded quite thorough ly." said the speaker. Hut she sighed ns the spoke. For Involuntarily she was thinking of the early days' when the world wns to her the freshest nnd most glorious place, and although one was father sensitive to pain, that only meant that conversely one hnd ii very deep capacity for plcasuie, too. For the sen sitive heart always feels very, very keen ly. I.lfe i mis quicker, emotions aio deep er, the current of .vouth gloilous. enthu siastic jouth Is running In our veins. To those who have pjps to s-eo and heal Is to understand, the gift of sensitiveness Is the greatest this world or the next can offer. "One crowded hour of gloilous life Is worth nn age without a name." And only those whose perceptions arc keen, whose feelings hip sensitive to the glory nnd tho wonder of the woild can ever i catty live. The nun or woman whose heart is dulled to feeling has lost the whole secret of tho universe. " "lis a poor heart that never rejoices," and the sensitive heart is the one that can most truly rejoice. Ca pacity for pleasure will always Include capacity for pain hut the glory nnd tho wonder In thr heights and depths of both will make matteis worth while! For the llncst naturea are the sensltivo ones. THE DAILY STORY Robin's Lane It wound In' from Main street, a little crooked lane shaded by cherry frees and locusts, leading from the hill thoiough farc to Polly Cniew's house. "Can uuy one use It who likes'.'" Polly had asked the first night when she drove up In the station hack nod caught her fliat Impression or tho town. "I don't like that. I thought the housu wiih per fectly piivatc." "It Is private," Tony assuicd her, warmly. Tony was 12 and diovo the livery hack In Taunton Cove. "It's tho path to your front door." "Then why Isn't it fenced In?" "Well, .Mr. Farringloii, ho wasn't so particular a3 all that. lie was moie neighborly, don't you know, and ho said If folks wanted to use tlio lane for a short cut, whv, lie didn't mind." "Well. I mind," said roily, haughtily. So Taunton Cove had its lirst shock of surprise two das later when it be held its new fair visitor (.ally foith from tho lane and calmly nail a sign upon the side fence. Private. No thoroughfare 1 It kept out strangers, but not tho regular denizens of the region boyond Polly's new house. Night and morning tbey took the short cut with cheerful disregard of tho sign and its owner. She did want to be left alone. She had chosen tho (Jove solely because of Its Isolation from tho beaten track. Here she could rest and work for two or three months In secret on the pic ture wonderful. It was ordered, and meant a thousand dollars to her. Cer tainly Polly did not have tho tnie uitls tlo temperament, for as she worked sho would pause, and dream awhile, not of how Ideal It would be to have a child of her brain hung In the new vvlilto marble library back home, but of what che would do with tho prize when it was paid over She had won In the competition held that spring. The library was to have on art gallery. This was stipulated in old Mrs. Batterson's will. She had left IMO.OOO to the town for Its library on condition that It build an art gallery annex, and fill It with treasures. The first picture she was willing to donate. It must be a portrait of herself, done In oil. "I can paint her." Polly had declared, vigorously, "Haven't I seen her every day since I was a baby?" -Oo to It. Poll." urged her brother, cheerfully. So Polly had entered for the Batterson thousand, and nut of five sketches sub mitted, the old lady had decided on hers. A few sittings up at the great, lonely, old mansion, .and Polly felt fairly startled when one morning Dan had startled her by saying Mrs. Batterson had died dur ing the night. "Well, I'm glad she waited for me to get the sittings anyway," said Polly, medi tatively. "Poor, lonesome old dear. I know Just the way every little gray curl goes on her forehead, I shall tell father I want to go away down on the shore and rent a. little bungalow, don't you know, Pan. and paint all by myself." "Where?" asked Pan. "I think around Taunton Cove. I've heard Sirs. Batterson speak of the Cove, and It's beyond New London, right near the art colony there, so I shall feel the atmosphere." -you'll feel the atmosphere all right If you try roughing It down there alone." ald Dan. "One of the fellows from col lege went there." "What's his name?" "Walt Farrington. He bad some sort qf a little place there." "Write and offer to rent It at once for tbe summer." Dan had written to Mr. Farrington, and tbe response had been Immediate and Joyous. Kvtry day she carted out the tail easel nnd, the Iwlf-Unlahed canvas and set them w rHitw Urn apple trees. QUI Mr. Batr nw bi'Huuji benevolently on the orchard mmC en 4Jfcr currac bothered her. livery day about 1:30 n person mi lioree Ijact; would ride slowly tluougli Itobln's lane and seemed to glance tit her. The picture was hidden from the curiously In clined, but Polly was fully revealed In u largo dark-brown iipion over a pink middy lllllllFC. Olio day when Tony brought her up some thlncs from the village she asked who the stranger nas. "That's .Mr. Farrington." haid Tony, de lightedly. Polly frowned. It was not meet that sliu hhould lent Mr. Faiilngton's whole plJc and crowd him out to board. She had gathered from Dan that he was a young pcisou of private Income who wan jlercd where he pleased. Why did he ro.im through Kobln's lane and gaze at her in silence Instead of coming forward as ,i landlord shculd and getting acquainted? "Jell mm. said Polly, uellrutely deep ening the tint on Mrs. Datteisnn's ear lone, "tell him that the loof leaks hi the kllohcn, and I wish he'd conic and see to It at oucc." Tho folluivlng nun plug c.ul.v Mr. Far rlugton called. "IIo seems n nice soi t of fellow," !au had written to her. Polly lnilou-cd Hip opinion. As sho e.pics.sed It later In a letter back to Dan. "It did seem good to havb somebody who could talk alio It something besides babies and the run of cod, and how much Sy Basset t had paid for his cntboat. Kvery day at 5 Mr, Farrington called to set how his tenant was progressing. Sho never permitted him to look at tho Picture on the easel. And after tho fourth week Polly had hoinehow fallen Into the habit of walking down to the end of Robin's lane with him. "I wish you lived hcio nil tho time," ho said one sunset hour. "It's a dear old place. I shall hatn to lose It." "I.oi,e It?" she echoed. "Why?" "Fortunes of war, I guess. My aunt alvviiyb intended It for me becauso she knew I liked It. I used to live hero when I wus a little chap, you know, .Miss Carew. Sho Was lLWfllllv tdieni. U1A l.r, her money scattered all around to differ ent places, homed for Indigent old fe males and cats and canaries and medals for horse doctois. and I don't know what Why. she oven left 11000 for an oil paint ing of herself to hung In the new public ibrary, but I guess I'll get that all right, If I break the will." Polly stood still, the little lace scarf falling back from her face. For a mo ment she felt too horrified to speak. Why hadn't Dan told her that Walt Farring ton was Mrs. Batterson's nephew She felt a sudden rising of rebellion In her heart. Here was the only man she had over taken the least Interest In, and she knew he liked her-as yet she had not even dared express It stronger than that even to herself-but she knew-and he was trying to break Mrs. Batterson's vylt, trying to do her out of that prize that was to give her a year In Italy "Mr. Farrington, I'm so sorry. I am painting that portrtlt of your aunt for the library, and, of course of course we can't be friends." lie wheeled about, and took her hands In lite. "Why not? I didn't know what you were painting, and I don't care. I'm glad If you can get the old lady's picture right." .VS.V ,f,'ou want t break the will-" I'll omit that clause about the oil paint ing." She felt sure he was laughing ai her. "Now listen, dear. Don't go away I may call you dear If I like. If you saw 130.000 getting away to homes for dogs, cats and Indignant females" "Indigent," corrected Polly, In a stilled tone. "Wouldn't you put up tt fight, too? When you Knew the old lady meant you to have It all, only she got huffy. Of course you would. Now, you go ahead and finish the painting, and after we're married and have had a good year In Europe you're going to paint another one to hang in tbe library." "Walt Farrington!" "Well, dearr "You take everything for grantsd. I haven't said I would marry you." She pushed him sway, but Itobln'a lane held Its own speU or romance, ??rUeu 1913.

Dodge Portrait Wins Medal Leopold O. Seyffert's portrait of Miss Josephine Dodgn has been awarded the gold medal by the special art Jury which passed upon the 101 pictures nt the "1st annual exhibition of tlio Ait Clubs. Charles S. Corson's "August Morning" was awarded houorabln mention. Mr. Scjffeit is represented In tho exhibition by two studies of Spanish peasants, In addition to his portrait of Miss Dodge. I understand that this Is to bo chiefly a suit season. There, are three types of suits, nnd nil are popular. First comes tho dressy suit, with tailored lines. Plenty of trimming nnd ornamentation nro allowed on this. Next comes the semltnllored suit, with softened lines. Tho color schemes may be daringly grouped. For InBtnnce, tho now blue, known ns "bleu soldat," may bo Joined with putty color. Touches of hand embroidery nro frequently scon, Thirdly comes the strictly tailored field suit, English In Ideal nnd ecvero In line, Whcro tho coat length Is concorncd, It may be as short ns tho old Eton Jacket, or It mny bo ns long as tho finger tips can reach down. In every caso tho length of the cont depends on nnd must bo adapted to tho length nnd character of tho skirl. This really Is the day of tho tailored suit, and the tailored girl certainly has como Into her own again. Sho wears tho wider skirt nnd numerous pockets, and leans toward tho masculine in braids and military touches. Tho popular wnlst lino Is tho normal, and coats nro decidedly shorter than of yore, many of them havln (i,. I breasted effect. il HI The collar effects Rra , varied.

These can be mado into veiy palatable dishes when they are prop el ly prepared. The best way to do this Is to soak them over night, rinse them In clear water and then simmer slowly with a quurter of n tcaspoonful of bak ing soda In the wntcr. Fresh vegetables arc liable to be moie or less of n luxury lu the small household nt this time of the year. Dried vegetables arc good lis ii change In the regular family diet. Tho trouble with most housekeepers Is that they consider Hiiccotnsh, baked beans nnd porridge the only dishes which may be prepared fiom dried vegetables. Sweet dried corn Is n gooil thing to have on hand, for It Is far superior to the tinned variety, and can hnrdly be dis tinguished from the fresh vegetable If .vou soak It over night. Ono delicious, rcclpo for dried corn Is corn mock ovsters. Souk the corn over night nnd in the morning boil It with u pinch of bak ing soda. PrcHS out the pulp with n sharp knife and to n pint of tho pulp add I beaten eggs, n teaspoonful of butter nnd soil, a dash of pepper and enough flour to bind. Poll into small cakes nnd snutc In butter, or drop Into hot fnt and mako Into fritters. Good puice boups may be made from dried beans and peas, but they must bo soaked und boiled for a sulllclently long time beforehand or the lesult will bo fulluic. When they have become tendor, mush them tluougli a sieve. Place again In u .saucepan und stir In enough milk, pepper and salt to make .seasoning. Add butter before serving. A very good bash for the Impromptu meal Is mado of lentils and potatoes. Just take one and one-half cupfuls of cold cooked pntatoes, two cupfuls of boiled lentllH. salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of onion Juice. Cook this hash until brown and serve with tomato Bauce.

He asked the famous evangelist, face to face, just those questions that every man and woman who has ever heard the man would like to ask him: Why he uses slang. Why he tears off rjis collar. Does he think himself sensational? Why he hits the preachers. Why he is immune to criticism. What are the real effects of his revivals. Why he keeps it up when the doctors tell him he's killing himself. And the answers constitute the best article on Billy Sunday that has ever appeared.
