Now I find It takes most of my time to attend to my shop. You appreciate a ride ever so much more after n hard day's work. I have nlwayB been In terested In Interior decorating. It oc cured to me thnt there wns a great de mand here for articles used In Interior decorating nnd for porch nnd garden furnishings for the summer.

GIRL INVADES MAN'S DOMAIN BY BREAKING AND TRAINING HORSES Miss Betty Brown's Delight Is Fitting "Green" Animals and Their Riders for Show or Racing An Expert in the Art. Soma people might regard training "green" horses aa a dangerous business; almost as perilous as going to war nnd being shot at an expedition said to be most unfitted to the weaker sex. But there's one young woman "around these parts" to whose happiness a "green" horse Is absolutely essential. The greener the mount, the happier Miss Betty Brown. Give her a horse fresh from the wild western plalns-an un tutored mustang that has never known bridle, halter or Saddle and see her bright eyes snap In anticipation of the fun she Is going to have. Out at Swarthmore. about five minutes walk down n picturesque lane behind the college, there's a pasture with a stable at one end of It. This Is Miss Betty Brown'a livery and training grounds. Alone nnd unprotected, the Interesting young woman makes her living teachlns "green" people to ride, and breaking n "green" horses for races and horse shows. For two years she was the trainer for Flas, Doerr & Carroll, of New York. Then she decided to set up an establishment o( her cwn. nnd her success is an In disputable answer to the contention that a woman can make good only along those lines which are purely feminine. If you express surprise at the choice of her vocation she elevates her eyebrows and gives you back the astonishment. "Why, when the time came to make my own living?" she asked the other day, patting the back of 'Flying Squirrel,' one of her favorite mounts, "why ahoitfd I take up something about which I knew nothing when I had been raised with horses all my life, and know thera almost better than I knew people?'' When Miss Brown Isn't out teaching the many, many students at Swarthmore equestrianism, she's In the pasture break Ing In a new shipment or coaching JlmmV Is a real find. He's a little 5-year-old boy. of obscure parentage, pick ed up by Mtsa Brown first because he was "such a little darling," and secondly because he has that God-given gift of horsemanship, which she declares can never be taught, but must be Inborn. At the Indoor Horse Show recently, Jimmy on Little Mogul, a blue ribbon dun pony, won the first prl. He's only a baby with china Blue eyes and flaxen hair and sitting astride a great big mount he looks like hts proper place Is In the cradle, but he's "got the hands."'

Schwab, of tho Bethlehem Steel .Company, saw tho child when ho wns staying temporarily In the Lycoming County town. Her natna Is Vivian Jane Lleb Orny. Ho fell In love with her the moment he saw tier bobbing her curls as she played In the bright sun light. Ho knew he had found the eiy girl his dreams had been picturing for long, weary years. He prolonged his stay In tho little place, so thnt he could romp wltli her nnd listen to her prattle. When tho tlmo came for him to go, which wns jestorday, he astounded How ard Uray, the child's fattier, by offering llOO.Ono In renl, clinking money for little Vivian Jane.

Mission Society Money Stolen A sum of money being saved for a for eign missionary society and Jewelry nnd clothing valued at $73 wero stolen from tho home of James P. Teaz, nt 7109 Boycr stroet, Mt. Airy. The robbery was dis covered last night when Mrs. Teaz nnd her two daughters. Misses Marian nnd Ella Teaz, returned from services at church. They found tho houso In dis order nnd contents of bureau diawers and closets scattered over the floors. Even the bed coverings had been exum ined by the Intruders in their senrch for money. Most of tho Jewelry taken was the property of Miss Ella Teaz. Accord ing to the Gcrmantown police, who mo making nn investigation, the Intruders gained entrance by forcing a rear kitchen window of the house and left no clue. pie to sit a horse propel ly, but you can't tench them the real, science of horseman ship unless they've" got the hands. Get ting the most out of a horse, either racing or In on exhibition, Is so much a matter ot give and take. To bring out n mount's best points, there must be perfect under standing between the horse and the rider and the hands are the medium. Jimmy's got them," At that minute Jimmy wns Jumping ditches with Little Mogul, while the ns pi milled Mils of the neighborhood sat on the fence and did him homage. Abso lutely unafraid, ho put tho pony through its paces, made him rear nnd Jump and walk on his hind legs, ns though It were the big ring of a circus nnd not a quiet Pennsylvania pasture. Teaching a horse manners, according to Miss Brown, requires Infinitely more patience than leaching him circus stunts, however, and although It Is not nearly so dangerous as breaking a green horse, It Is nevertheless a much greater achieve ment and one not halt appreciated by the general public, , Several prominent exhibitors who are going to have entries In the coming Devon Show have turned them over to Miss Brown for a few .academic lessons In equine etiquette, which fact would Indi cate that between now and May 27 the green pasture at Swarthmore will be the setting for many Interesting events, STEAMSHIP NOTICES ANCHOR LINE NEW YORK and GLASGOW New Itojsl Mall Stesuuhlpa TBAN8YI.VANIA, MAY 1, S V.

During his tnlk witn tho Governor he Bald: "t made n special trip from Now York to Gcorfila to vote foi ou. nnd now 1 want ou to do 1110 a blfr favor " Then he made his request, j ai nrsi me iiovcrnor tetuseu, nui air. Lewis Is of an argumentative mind, and before he finished with tho Chief Execu tive of Ills native State his request was Rrantcd, nnd the lesult Is that the sceno Is one, if not the most, realistic of the kind ever presented on n screen. The troops nre In command of Colonel Breck inridge, and before your eyes you see tho sweeping charge of cavnlry driving back the panlc-strlckcii crowd nnd then tho crash nnd smoke of the Infantry ns the word "fire" Is Riven.

"The Dead Soul" A lemarkablo three-reel drama by Julian Louis Lamotlie called "The Dead Soul," has Just been completed nt the Western Lubln studio at Los Angeles. The story concerns a mission working clergyman who Is shanghaied by a brutal sea captain nnd taken on a voynge to Algiers, where they both get Into In numerable drnmatlc adventuies. How tho clergymnn lives up to the teachings of his religion despite nil "jstacles nnd finally resurrects the dead soul of the captain is most interestingly told.

E HAD been delphia's Hif along came a representative of a "safe" water and told the officials his water was "just as good" as Purock, yet would cost but half as much. The two waters looked alike, so the unsuspecting officials Ot agreed to substitute. We immediately called on the company, explained the function of water in the body and demonstrated that only distilled water free from minerals and gases and dead animal matter can ade quately carry off the body waste. We emphasized the particular need of Purock water for office men, and proved that food gives to the body all necessary minerals. We suggested a fair test that the insurance company should send unmarked samples of both waters to any chemist (to be unknown to us), and if Purock did not produce a superior analysis, we would pay for the test. The company agreed ; 3 tali ivere made, and Purock was found in each test to be free from minerals, germs, salts, colorings, odors or harmful gases. Furthermore, Purock was proven a live water, sparkling with oxygen supplied by the wonderful Purock process of distillation.
