10 EVENING LEDGERPHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY. JULY 1, 1915 1 SEASIDE MILLIONAIRES A DELUSION AND A SNARE FOR THE SUMMER GIRL Many a foolish Flirtation Woutd Be Nipped in the Bud If the Fair Juliet Could See Her Romeo Driving an Ice Wagon. '" - Bu ELLEN ADAIR 4 DOWN beside the mlRhty deep you will find them Just now, the seaside mll U6nafres, resplendent In nil the glory of wonderful raiment, dazzling neckwenr nnl even mors scintillating wit They toll not. . neither do they spin, and Solomon In nil his glory certainly never chlevcd such sartorial effects! They nro th children of nn cxotlJ growth, who, like the fabulous beanstnlk, have sprung Into being In a single night. It's but a day ago that that they were tolling at their 112 a week Job and were "to fortune and to fame un known." Dut tho In toxicating ozone of tha gay Atlantic breom has changed alt that, and now they are as dashing tlomcos as ever trod tho Immortal boardwnlk, keen on the trail of some unsuspecting Juliet. I wonder If the seaaldo Juliets really aro fts unsuspecting as ono would think! Isn't It Just possible that they have an' inkling that tho financial condition of their gal lant escorts Is nut quite the wondrous aKalr It I painted to be? Perhaps thoy want to bn persuaded to tho contrnry. Perhaps they really do believe the ficti tious tales of motorcaip and tortn ntid country houses and all the old moonshine which tho would-be mllllonalio poms Into tho gullcWs and sbcll-plnk car of his best girl by tho sea. Tho best girl by the sea, please note. Is nearly always a different damsel from the best girl of the city. Not merely dif ferent metaphorically, but actually and phy sically a different fin ing. Little Dolly Brown, of the city, knows tho Impover ished condition of Toth Jones' finances only too well, To her ho Is no wondrous hero, no dashing mil- " zi.tt, vm. T.J1 IIUIHUII UIIU IT" tfSO, rathor pleasant youth, & who takes her to tho nickel movies of an evening and some times treats her to a chocolate sundno In her out-of-ofllco hours, for she, too, works s-r for her living by what the blunt Thomas terms "hitting the keys." Bhe Is a sen sible Utile girl, almost too good for foolls.i Thomas but by the sad sen waves ho seeks for "something bettor than 11 typist," and Dolly Is temporarily forgot ten. I onco rocelved a letter from a disconso late damsel whose social aspirations had received a sudden uplift and then as swift a downfall-ami all through meet ing and believing In the summer seaside millionaire. "I met such a delightful boy beside tho sea," sho wrote In a sprawl) hand, "and I believed that he was Very wealthy. In fact, It was ho who put tho Idea Into my head, although ho did not directly refer to his Income. Hut he would talk nbout bis father's automobiles and country places, and tho various trips ho'd taken to Europe, and the grand peo ple he knew, until I thought ho suro was a millionaire It wasn't that ho spent much money on me, cither, but Just the way ho talked and acted. "After a week of this, he told me how fond he was of mo and wo got cngnged. Then ho returned to town, without giv ing me nny address, but sn)lng he would write He never did. I was dreadfully dis appointed, and when I got back to town I tried to locate him, but couldn't. The other day, to my sur prise, I saw him driv ing an Ice wagon through the streets) Ills clothes were dreadfully dusty-looking and he didn't look a bit like a million aire, sitting up there under a big umbrella on tho Ice wagon " t Well, well, this Is a world of change, as the philosophic assure us. Tho sequel to tho scasldo romance was certainly dis appointing, Inasmuch as tho driver's sent on an Ico wagon Is not a romantic spot for tho conducting and continuing of n courtship, Hut mayhap the erstwhile If errant Ilomco was a millionaire after all, and tho driving of tho ice ungon but tho whim of a truly grent mind, seeking relaxation In postures new. (Tho city streets In midsummer ore hnrdly pasturo, by tho way). But somehow this explana tion Is unconvincing I feat hi- un but ono of the transient army of tho seaside millionaires, who for the spaco of one week, or at tho most two, lend a llfo as gay nnd as short-lived as the butter fly, sunning In the smiles of gulllblo fair ones besldo the seal SUFFRAGE BELL RIDES THROUGH MUD ON TOUR i OLD-FASHIONED FRILLS AND RUFFLES POPULAR ON NEW GOWNS LITTLE FARMERS OF THE CITY GROW LARGE AND VARIED CROPS Miss Caro Miller, Assistant Director of Physical Education, Modestly Proud of Her Youthful Gardeners of Both Sexes. l i MIS5 OARO MILLER CONTRARY Mary, daughter of Mother Goose, never knew half as much about gardening as the children of Miss Caro Miller, assistant director of physical edu cation In the public schools, Little Mary, cf storybook fame, grew "silver bells and cockle shells," while Philadelphia's school children grow real, live flowers, fruits and vegetables. Twenfy thousand hoys and girls pre busy today with spades, rakes and hoes preparing soil, pulling weeds and trimming vines In anticipation of the most prosperous sea son In the history of child gardening. Each of these 20,000 youngsters Is the personal friend of Miss Miller. Under her instruction and guidance they are In augurating a real "back-to-the-soll" movement which Is destined to havo Its effect on coming generations. It was only a few years ago that the Hoard of Edu cation decided that something should be dona for Charlie and Nellie, who must remain in the city throughout the hot summer months because their parents were financially unfortunate. POCTOR BIIUMDAUQH'S PLAN. Idle hands are Just as dangerous among children as they are among adults, and Governor Brumbaugh, then superintend ent of schools, agreed that they should be put to work lie believed that the healthiest and happiest sort of pastime was the game of "farmer." And In conse quence a garden was established In every schoolyard where paving was unnecessary and the ground was adapted to horticul tural or agricultural purposes. Doctor JJrumbaugh vras of the opinion that play without supervision was use lets He searched the country for an Intelligent, enthusiastic young woman who could organize a system of Instruc tion for tho "tiny tiller of the soil." JO search revealed Miss Miller, then one Ot lb youngest students at Cornell QhSwrstty 9tM was appointed by the Board ot SAocatWn upon reeoinaasitftatton of the superintendent, nnd Is still one of the yetmgt of the higher salaried employ of lh public educational system. The bands of Miss Miller worked magic As a lasult of her activities the niua. bar pt pdjpUs has multiplied almost U tHus ajtd it is still growing Today, 70 tmaury schools boast of a garden wbll about U plots of ground that are ijl a part of schoolyards' are used for tk. saoi purpose The 'crops" range La Mature rr&m put to kduu and from CSiUsioupis to louou Th hospital ffhSBSr of more man one invalid is U.ar.li lu.lay with Mowers that are tp WOUu. l '-t loj.urold children SU9ii stlLf EH PROl'D JH;T MODEST In ail v iu uf tiHirse Mifc Miller tataM iojii o4i p. "' -, but ut simklug ot !; f m. cmiaitsbineMt it u a modest as dens," she urged. "Tell nbout the young sters and how hard they work, but please forget about me. Ilenlly, I never did anything wonderful. 1 nm proud of tho children, and havo a right to bo. But what they havo done Is no credit to me." None of tho gardens In largo enough to nccommodato nil of the llttlo ones who are anxious to engage in the work. Even If tho number were doubled tomorrow there would still be a waiting list of children who wanted tq enlist In Miss Miller's nrmy. Kindergarten pupils as well as high school studcntB nro tho per sonal acquaintances of the smiling woman whose office in the Stock Exchange Build ing Is always tilled with Juveniles who wnnt to know something about potato growing, rose culture or tree trimming. And the corps of teachers who labor under Miss Miller hold her In as high regard as the 20,000 scholars. Sho has nt tnlncd n reputtatlon In her profession that is far out of proportion to her years and experience. But It Is not her scien tific knowledge that has yielded such ex traordinary results. It Is rather the per sonality of tho woman that tins enabled her to Impart so much knowledge to so many persons and effect so much real good. KNOWS THE YOUNG FAItMEnS. Miss Miller knows the llttlo girl In South Philadelphia who grows corn In her back yard, and the lad In German town whose "crops" were a failure for three successive years and who finally proved to bo a successful gardener. She knows their names, their ages, their troubles and their fallings. She can tell you how many sisters Harry has and who are the parents of Elizabeth. Thousands of young folk live too far from the gardens to enable them to par ticipate In Its activities. Soma of the gardens aro already overcrowded, so that additional enrolment Is Impossible. For tho children who suffer this condition Miss Miller has made special provision. She haB organized U staff of "homo gar dening" teachers. It Is the duty ot these young women to visit the homes of the boys and girls and give them instruction there. The "home gardening" pupils util ize their back yards wherever possible. But to hundreds of little citizens a baok yard represents an unattainable luxury. REAL HOOF GARDENS. They havo carried soil to their roofs and established there gardens that would be a credit to men who have made a study of the subject. Where there are no trapdoors leading to the roofs back porches are utilized. If none of these features of modern ar chitecture is accessible old washtubs ore filled with soli. Cant-oft laundry equip ment has often been used as a means of producing enough tomatoes tq satisfy the appetites of a family of seven, Dlshpans have been converted Into flower boxes, and once an abandoned stove was made to contain soil that yielded geraniums. Daisies have been grown In tin cans and tulips in an unused bathtub. A policeman's son used his father's old helmet for the production of a handful of beans.

Spcnklng be fore the Equal Franchise Fcderntlon Inst night, ex-Senator William Fllnn predicted n tnvccplng victory for woman's suffrage nt tho fall elections. Mr. Fllnn declared Mint ho bnsed his prophecy on tho result of tho 1912 elec tion, when the voters of the Stnte showed their willingness to glvo the ballot to tho women by otlng n great majority for the nooscvelt ticket. Tho only opposition to cqunl sufirngc, ac cording to Mr Fllnn, Is that of special interests wno rear that their hold on the Legislature will wane If women nro given a vote. Practical Tests of Butter As nearly every one cats butter, and thousands of pounds of it nre consumed every day, It Is Important to know If tho supply Is fresh and frco from a sus picion of rancidity. To prevent butter from becoming rancid It should be thor oughly "worked" first of nil. Tho next procedure should bo to work Into It (the mass beforo It Is printed) bicarbonate of soda solution. Dissolve an ounce of 1)1 carbonato of soda with u pint of boiling water. When It cools work this Into (and wash the butter well with It) two pounds of butter. When tho rank tasto has dis appeared wash and rinse tho bulttr well ultli fresh cold water nnd salt at once. If butter Is too snlty It may bo fresh ened by churning with fresh milk In tho proportion of one quart of milk to one pound of buttor. . Testing butter to sco If It Is really fresh butter, irnovnted butter, or margarine, may he dono by placing a piece ofNbut tcr about the size of a lima benn In nn Iron spoon and holding tho spoon over an alcohol Btovo or other fire, Btlrrlng the melting butter with a clean wooden stick (toothpick) until It bolls Pure butter bolts with a llttlo noise, but a great deal of foam; "renovated" butter or marga rlno bolls with much noise and sputters like greaso and water. To removo salt from buttcr-whlch Is sometimes necessary, especially If but ter has been In "pickle" put three or four pounds of butter In a largo wooden bowl, pour over It enough cold water to cover It and then beat the buttor with a spoon till the water Is hazy looking or discolored. Pour off this water then and add more, and then beat again. Change tho water until It Is clear after tho beat ing. If the water comes out of the beaten butter looking clenr, then It Is time to stop, for that proves tho salt has been removed. CONVENTION HALL CONCERT Philadelphia Band's Concert This Evening.

CO. CAMMN. N. J. SUMMER datyse frocks are nlways a matter of conjecture Until the fashionable hotels and cafes where tha dancing Is seen bring out the styles, I was at nn opening tho other day, where designers, cos turners nnd all the elite of the nrt sartorial held communion. The subject of the proper thing to wear at tho summer dance or dansant was discussed. Almost unani mously the vote went for taffetas'. Pale shade or vivid, draped or un draped, HMO or 1BIC tho first choice was taffetas. Styles for the dance frock were varied. There were simple shepherdess styles for the very young girl, trimmed with pet nled skirts nnd ruffles, laces nnd flowers gnlore, There wero lovely not nnd filet gowns for hor older sister, also trimmed with ruffles. Thcra wero sleeveless frocks nnd frocks with sleoves reaching to tho wrist, caught hero nnd thero with semiprecious etonos. Ono of tho prettiest of these summer styles was made of rose-colored golden-rod silk, wl t h shadow lace. Tho bodlco was plain, with n b.isqua effect of the taffetas, brought down to a quaint little point nt the front of tho skirt. Tho sleeves nnd upper part of the bodlco wero made of rose-tinted Oeorgotte c r e p o , matching tho shade of the silk exactly. Tho ruffles on tho sleeves wero plcot-edged. Tho skirt had n panel of shadow lace all the way down tho front, with nn over-drapery of the Bilk ruffled on tho edges In a most distinctive fashion. Tho top of tho skirt waB made of soft folds of tho silk, caught In nt the waist by the old-fashioned girdle. The back of the skirt wns plain, with tho ruffling for tho only trimming. Rose shoes and stockings wore worn with this, and on a. young girl the effect is decidedly picturesque. Is 5tBtfBH KSH H I H'rcffiOTl ?-ajl v BSKS Ibsb IS j w ?'Sl Ji' !'!.

Kerosene for Grass Stains Any linen nrtlcle that has becomo grass stalnid should bo saturated with kero sene and then washed In very hot water with plenty of soap. "The Kiss of Apollo" Few girls in real life-even the most attractive) ones-enjoy the pleasurable ex perlenco of having every man who ap pears on their horizon fall madly In love with them. Judith, the nun-llko Cleopatra of Martha Gilbert Dickinson Blatichl's latest, "The Kiss of Apollo" (Dufflcid & Co., New York). Is neither real nor at tractive. A good-slzed cohort of gentlo men, however, composed of black sheep, glided fools, supermen and the line, are unaccountably smitten with her charms. In tho main these consist of nn over advortlsed chastity and an unconvincing sex-Ignorance. Beauty, It must be added of tha pale, pure brand (the kind that looks well In black, and Judy will In evitably wear black) Is also ono of the girl's assets. Somowhero near tho middle of the book Julian Cralglo kisses her. Certainly had ho known the unconscionable amount of trouble that was going to bo let loose by that simple act he would havo-hesi tated. Ho marries her, thougn, in mo long run, nftor many painful mcanderlngs bn the part of both of them, and tho story ends happlly-whlch Is more than tho author had given ono hopo for. Practical Child Study Tho practical application of modern theories of ohlld education, training and psychology aro set down for tho mother and cducator-nnd tho father In a use ful handbook, "Your Child Today and To morrow," by Sldonlo M. Gruenberg (Lip plncott's, Philadelphia). To tho moro ox porlcnced educator tho material offered will probably not bo so new, but Its sys tem of presentation will glvo oven tho specialist something to which he con easily refer as the dietician does to her cook book. But Mrs. Grounborg's book will glvo many helpful suggestions to tho yojrtig educator and the willing mother, who feel that the responsibility duo the coming generation Is grent enough to care for nil prnotlcal suggestions. A mother herself and ono of tho modern type at that Mrs, Gruonborg hns reached many of her conclusions through experience, which Is always an asBet to tho educa tor. Whether It bo a question of lying, "being nfiald," Imagination, will reason or tho many puzzling phases of adolesc ence, tho author speaks with the knowl edge of the truo psychologist and real student of tho child himself.
