atrocities with which the papers are at
present filled to overflowing. It was de
lightfully refreshing to come upon a llttlo
article In an English magazine the other
day penned by none other than the divine
Gaby, the French actress, whose beauty
and whose daring Insouciance have
charmed many, many audlenaes and
many other people who are not audi
ences. I remember the first tlmo I ever saw
Gaby Deslys. It was about a year and
a half ago, In London, when her appear
anco was creating such a furore at the
Palace Theatre, and when the eminent
English divines had just seen fit to con
demn her performance. It was the first
night of the revised version of her per
formance which I witnessed and In tho
front row of the stalls were seated two
solemn clergymen, sent by their bishop to
report on tho Judiciousness and tho degree
of wisdom expended on tho "cuttlng-out."
The pruning hook had evidently been
largely employed, so the papers assured
us the next day. But bo that as It may,
Gaby Deslys was charming. Her spark
ling beauty, the daring of her wonderful
toilettes, lier broken English, and the
thousand and one little ways which are
hers and hers alone rendered her re
"Seriously have I considered the possl-
ointy to become a lied Cross nurse," she
writes. "When first the news of the dis
aster came I could not think my place
was In the theatre. I grieve that Gaby
Deslys could not bandago and case tho
poor soldiers' pain. But then I have a
letter from a friend who Is how say ou?
at the Front. He has been wounded
and taken Into an English camp. His
hurt Is small, but the tlmo Is tedious, be
cause he cannot speak the English, and
those who attend upon him can only say
a little formal French. One evening,
however, he hear them whistling the
'Gaby Glide.' He, too, commence to
sing it, and they manage to make
each other understand that they all
like vaudeville, and that they have spent
many a pleasant evening listening to that
air. And so my friend, he write m,
tou, too, p'tlle, belong to the army, but
yours Is 'the army who amuse.' That
Is why I think that we of the profession
should all work. There are so many anx

'Lt never maiden think, however fair, ..
She la not fairer In neir clothes than old.
I lovo that beauty should go beautifully.'
"We do not only 'go beautifully' to
arouse admiration or comment. It Is due
to how say you, one's amour propre?
but no, with you the term Is self-respect
It Is such a pity for the pretty
woman not to dress her prettiest. And
for tho plain, the chlo toilette does much
to assist I do not think that any
one should be allowed to look dowdy.
Gaby Desbys certainly carries out this
theory to It fullest extent Many times
have I seen her walking In the park In
London, arrayed In the most ravishing of
toilettes and everything 'Just right" in the
color scheme, down to tho exact harmon
ious tint of her little dog'B nose.

"They tell me that the men In battle,
those fighting and facing all danrers,

anecdotes Perhaps It Is easier for those

'thoughts' become distressing comrades
there Is no need to brood. We who act
have to fight against much, and espe
cially the Idea that to be dull and dowdy
Is a proof of being loyal."
AROUND THE BARGAIN COUNTERS
Afternoon Frocks and Summer Suits
SUMMER gowns are getting very
plentiful and very reasonable In price
these days. For J5 any number of at
tractive costumes, In plain, coin-dotted,
i striped, and novelty materials may be
had. Awning stripes are the favorite
atyles, and the great advantage of an
awning-striped gown Is the fact that It
seldom needs any other trimming. The
tripes are used In such a manner as to
contrast and the effect Is most attractive.
A very neat little summer gown was
shown In one of our largest department
stores for S. The blouse was made with
a fine white net yoke, trimmed with In
sertions of Valenciennes lace. The striped
voile crossed In the front, in surplice
style, with narrow pipings of the color,
and a girdle of lack satin. This was
detachable, of course, and could be used
on any costume, besides being convenient
for laundering purposes. The skirt was
plain and full, with the striped material
used as small ruffles on the oversklrt.
The underskirt was plain color. Various
colors were seen on this gown, pink and
white, blue and white, tan and white,
Nile green and black were In evidence.
Another protty llttlo crepe gown for
everyday wenr was shown as a special
In another shop. It was made of pale
pink or pale blue cotton crepo, with trim
mings of embroidery and net. A vory at
tractive collar of net. trimmed ith
ruffles of tho some and extending down
tho front as a vestee, Is tho only trim
ming on the bodice Cuffs of the same
are used on the short sleeves. The skirt
had a very deep yoke, and had no girdle.
Tho waist line was simply finished off with
a row of Btltohlng slightly above the nor
mal line. Tho lest of tho skirt was trim
med with graduated tucks, with a very
wide ono serving for a horn on the bot
tom Tho price was 17.E0.
A lovely cream net gown In black-and-white
effect was selling In several stores
for J25. Tho lodlce was surplice style,
with an edtfng of black net, and em
broidery. A panne velvelr. drill n.,
four-tiered skirt of ruffles, edged with
net and embroidery, were only some of Its
charming points. The girdle could be had
In black or rose. It was a most useful
frock for formal afternoon or evening
wear.
CHILDREN'S CORNER
A Raindrop Story
The Dally Story
Smlkes, Curer of Headache
Smlkes probably fared better In his love
making because he kept from his Insane
habit of Inventing things until the little
germ of romanoe had properly permeated
the heart of tho damsel of his choice.
Outwardly, the lady may always claim
that she wedded the busy-brained one
only from a spirit of pique, but In her
heart of hearts she knows It was her
latont love of him that won.
Tho Gmlkes person was a most gawky
Individual answering to the given name
of Enos, and these handicaps should
have bade him keep to the plodding path
of tho ordinary citizen Instead of racing
madly away through bramble and tare
to storm every oltadel of convention
looming before him.
Enos was the neglected Don Juan of his
day. He longed to tilt a lance with every
old established Idea and custom, and
stinging defeat only fired his ambition to
other efforts.
It was Enos who he lived In the
wilds of Jersey! threw open the pater
nal homo to the hungry hordes of Insects
from the swamps, while others lay awake
nights battling these mosquito pesis
All that Enos demanded of the classic
terrors was that they make their en
trance through screens of his own de
vising nntl9eptla screens, Impregnating
the aaw-llke Instruments of the Invaders
with a guaranteed tonic to the blood,
and, at the same time, neutralising the
poison of their stinging bills.
It was a great Idea, and only for the
fact that Enos tried It out on the family
before subjecting It to tho keener
analvilR of some medical orltlc. It would
have placed the name of Smlkes, laurel
wreathed, among tho heroes of Jersey.
As It was, all of the family lived, and
although a lot of Smlkes' blood was
sacrificed to make a mosquito holiday,
all was forgiven and tho faces of the
martyrs gradually worked down to nor
mal size
Enos, quick to forget a failure, essayed
several other tasks and then relegated
his olutch on the fleeting skirts of Fame,
metaphorically speaking, to seize tho
dainty hand of Miss Olga Ertcson in both
of his elephantine lists, and fall In lovot
Miss Olga was tho school mistress at
tho Prlmtown knowledge dispensary and
she was as pretty n maid as ever came
to Jersey from strange lands.
Her claims to pulchrttudo rested safely
on dreamy eyes, with a promise In them
for the man who could awaken them; a
remarkable amount of blue-black hair,
rebelllouBly curly, and a dainty face.
A sight of Miss Olga, to the gay youth
of tho town, waB as a trumpet call to the
tourney.
Tho alluring school ma'am's advent Into
Prlmtown was followed by a most com-mented-on
perking up among the swain
of tho locality, and high In the favor of
the lady stood Enos, who, despite his
physical peculiarities, was of the true
head and sterling qunlltles bound to op
peal to the cultured mind.
But thcro were others In the Arm ranks.
And not the least to bo reckoned with
was the village postmaster, Hob Sanders.
Hob was young and ambitious and In nls
coffers were many glittering slmoleons
The postmaster had a measly eye, to off
sot his money, and a petty nearness whCn
It came to offering up sacrifices to his
goddess. He was an earnest advocate of
substitution If Miss Olga naively signified
a preference for Cutter's Delicious Choco
late, Hob saved three cents by buytrig her
a pound of Cufferis Delightful Chocolates
an article pronounced by tho grocer
confectioner of tho town to be Just as
good.
Parties were the popular social erase
In the town, and In the winter of Miss
Olga's entrance Into the polite and ex
clusive society of the community both the
trained Enos and Hob were devoted at
tendants at tltcso simple social functions.
Enos, in fact, originated several con
celts In the fun line himself, and they
proved popular because they smacked
of more lovemaklng than some of the
older entertainments.
When Miss Olga spoke of being eub
Ject to headaches, It opened the floodgate
of recollection In the teeming Idea fac
tory of Enos, and It occurred to him
that a sure-euro headache pill had been

for the bizarre and, If It Is well done,
for the highly effootlve costume. There Is
a fascination about an unusual mingling
of sympathetic shades, or, botter still,
contrasting shades, which gives a decided
tone of chlo to tho plainest gown. For
Instance, tako tho rago for cerise and

The lady, possibly In a spirit of re

Thttry-four canary birds sang today as
though some one had whispered to them,
"Tou are all going to be set free from
your narrow cages this afternoon to fly
up, speaks of gold on the wide, kind sky,
and go where you will."
They will not be set free, though their
master, Christian Duertner, has escaped
from a life that was his cage. But, if
they only knew It they ore going to pay
for an honorable leave-taking between
this world and a man about whom the
world will continue to know nothing ex

friends, and that they made life worth
living when he hadn't a red cent to his
name.
Ho was burled today. Not in tho pot

to lie, if he cared for birds. The small
trim bodies of Duertner's canaries will
be sold to pay for the Immemorial and
mystic distinction of a funeral 'paid for
out of a man's goods or the goods of his
friends
So It Is a good thing that Duertner did
not sell his canaries, though he was
urged to do so often enough by folk too
poor to do anything but advise him.
Unable to work, because of deep-seated
Illness, he came to the pass where there
were crumbs enough to keep his birds
alive, Indeed; but 84 canaries can live on

Jenkins Bill Passed by Leg

tects Owners of Con
demned Property.
Philadelphia Is definitely committed to
an expenditure within the next three
years of an amount estimated to range
from 17,500,000 to 115,000,000 for acquisition
of condemned property along the line
of the Parkway.
The Jenkins bill, passed by the Legisla
ture and signed by Governor Brumbaugh
yesterday, protects tho owners of con
demned properties on tho Parkway line
from tho former indefinite) time embargo
that city condemnation Imposed. Now
the city must actually acquire the prop-

CITT MUST PROVIDE LOANS.
While the protection Is afforded the
property owners, tho city must, on tho
other hand, provide In loans amounts
requisite to obtain all Parkway property
condemned. The Interest and sinking
fund charges on the millions that must
consequently be borrowed within the next
six years, allowing extra time for sub
sequent court- procedure and mandamus
payments, wilt impose an additional drain
on current revenues.
It has been estimated that the maxi

for tho Parkway reaches 115,000,000, al
though others contend tho amount Is one
half that figure. The properties lie be
