TAOTkESSNnSS, like the prftvcrbial
charity, covers ft muUHude of peeou
allied which are peeultarly nnrwlnB to
other peoplo," but are seldom teallxcii by
the perpetrator thereof.
For Instance, don't you know tho pain
fully accural person who spoils your
very beet story by tho Interruption: "No,
dear; It was Tuesday!" or "Not an Irish
terrier, dearest, a collie!"
It doesn't iniika an atom of difference
to tho point of the story what was tho
pnitlrulaivrln? of the week or the Speles
of iMc. It In alhinlv that this most
aggravating lype of mind cannot pass
over an unimportant error and get to tho
important fact.
. .
One great fault In many otherwise
united families Is a lack of tact. Perpet
ual teasing of some member goes' on, and
though It is kimny
and well'meant
teasing, tho Jesters
In that family
would be surprised
If they realized
how much their
Ill-placed remarks
hurt.
For Instance, In
ono family of my
acquaintance such
n delightful, Inter
esting family, too
I have often heard
tho absence o t
good looks in ono
of the daughters
openty lamented, Poor, Plain Jane
tho "ugly duckling" In a bovy of pretty
sisters does she ever get used to tho
more or less kindly criticism of her
family?
It Is said that much of tho charm of tho
Frenchwoman Is tho result of being told
from early childhood upward that she
U charmlngt No French mother would
ever dream of adversely criticising her
little girl's looks, or permitting schoolboy
brothers to do so, cither.
Therefore, tho French demoiselle hns
ever a fascinating little air Of dignity and
pretty self-assurance; whereas our un
fortunate little Plain Jano Is too often
made Into a shy; sensitive hermit.
t
A lack of tact Is often shown In trifling
monoy matters. Not very long ago I
overheard an amusing conversation In a
small restaurant. Two girls wcro having
tea together, and when the waitress
cama along with -the check there was a
regular fight as to which girl should
pay.

A few persons have been prevailed

I really felt sorry for the unfortunato
damsct whose monctnry difficulties wero
thus publicly discussed In n restnurant.
ltuf I felt 4ulte qb sdrry for her tactless
friend, The latter was really more In
need of pity, for as she goes through
life she will make many enemies nnd few
friends unless she mends her way.
Speaking of tactfulness In the settling
of such trifling affairs as tea checks re
minds mo of two girls who mnuo a regu
lar commotion In n moving picture thea
tre through this form of "settling up."
Tea rooms were attached to the picture
houne, and tho fair damsels had been
freely partaking of "tho cup that cheers
but not Inebriates."
Tho picture house was crowded, and
the girls In question were standing wait
ing at the rail.
"Yes, wo will scttlo up now I" said on
In a loud voice. "I do think It's an ex
cellent Idea that

tho other In an

"Chocolate

buslncss-llko damsel, "so that would
bring your shore up to 60 cents. Then
carfaro was 10 cents"
In vain the manager of tho placo re
monstrated with tho talkative maidens.
Their zeal for "settling up" was too
strong for silence. So tho dreadful, mad
dening argument over a few nickels went
on.
Finally ono of tho attendants becamo
so exasperated with tho complaints of tho
audlcnco that he literally rushed tho sll'.v
damsels out! Then everybody cheered up
and begnn to enjoy tho pictures again.

FOX TROTTERS WEAR PRESERVERS
DANCING ON DECK IN WAR ZONE
Passengers Cannot Down Fear When Liner's Creio Lower Life
boats, Ready for Use "Thank God for America!"
Man Cries as Band Plays.
By ELLEN
Btaff Correspondent Evening Ledger
LIVERPOOL, Juno 28. Danger, wild
rumors and tenso excitement marked tho
American liner St. Paul's voyago to
England. Weighted down In the water
with that strangely heavy cargo of hers,
and wlUi 987 souls on board, on June 10
she slowly Bteamod out of New York
harbor, whllo tho tremendous cjicerlng of
the Immense crowdfl on tho dock drowned
even the persistent music of tho deck
band.
It was a wonderful and a solemn scene
for tho dangers of tho terrible war
zone and the tragedy of the Ill-fated
Lusllanla were In the minds of every-"
one. Wives clung despairingly to their
soldier-husbands long after tho bell for
"visitors ashore" had rung, mothers
wept over their sons who were oft for the
front, nnd on tho face of every passcn--ger
on board was a look of set purpose,
of duty to bo performed no matter what
tho cost might be.
For we wero no gay crowd off on a
pleasure trip to Europe. Floating mlnos,
German torpedoes and Zeppelins make
poor holiday companions. And when tho
luncheon buglo sounded, nnd I went bo
low, I thought that never beforo had I
seen such a crowd of Intensely Interesting
faces.
There were 215 passengers In the first
class, most of whom were men. My placo
was at the captain's table, and next, me
sat Philip Mcrlvale, tho English actor,
who had mado such a success In America
ns leading man In Bernard Shaw's "Pyg
malion," and with Granvillo Barker In
Greek tragedies.
"You remind me so much of 'Professor
Hlgglns," who played with Mrs. Patrick
Campbell In Philadelphia," I said. "Ho
was wonderfully clever, and everybody
said "
"Nice things, I hope," said my new
neighbor, "because I really am 'Hlgglns,'
you know!"
On my other side was young Lord Ossul
ton, eldest Bon and heir of tho Earl nnd
Countess of Tnnkervlllc, who was return
ing from college near Boston to Chlllln'g
ham Castle and his Northumberland
estates.
Opposite me sat Mr. Granville Barker,
the English playwright, with his equally
celebrated actress-wife, Miss Llllah Mc
Carthy, whose performance In Greek
tragedy at the University of Pennsylvania
and at Harvard University made such a
sensation. Any one who has seen Miss
McCarthy on the stago must admlro her
wonderful histrionic powers. And In prlv
nto life she Is perfectly delightful. She
kept us all entertained, and Mr. Barker's
fund of anecdote and whimsical humor
wero much appreciated.
The conversation turned on tho Ill-fated
Lusltanla. "Did you pass any part of the
wreckage later on?" I asked Captain F.
W. Passow.
"Indeed we did," said he. "Thirty miles
from tho ecene of the disaster the ocean
-was still strewn with wreckage. It took
us hours to pass It all. I saw the dead
body of a young woman with a baby In
her arms, still clinging tightly poor soul!
to a broken spar. The bodies of young
children and of many sailors went slowly
floating past. In one place I saw several
little pet dogs. It nearly broke one's
heart to see the awful havoc and those
fingers still clinging In death to the drift
ing wreckage."
"You had an exciting time on your last
trip with Marconi on board?"
Captain Pbbsow smiled remlnlscently,
"The Germans certainly had their eye on
Marconi," he answered. "Hut Marconi
wasn't nervous. He showed me a. letter
he had received on sailing, which warned
him not to sail on the St. Paul,
" 'This will amuse you, captain,' said
he. laughing.
"But I wasn't a bit amused. I handed
the letter hack to him and said, I really
couldn't risk my ship and the lives of' all
on board. We finally arranged that If a
submarine came along Marconi must
creep along the boat-deck till he came to
a hole leading down to the boilers. He
was to climb down, and there be would
find a stoker's suit of clothes, ready for
him to wear as a disguise. Marconi and
I are old friends and .were at school to
gether. He's a delightful fellow, and I
was thankful nothing happened to him."
PANQBR PROM MINES.
"Do you think we may strike a miner"
I queried once more. (Wartime certainty
makes one peculiarly Inquisitive).
"My dear young lady," said Captain
Passow, with a twinkle In hie keen blue
eyes. "You have one consolation, and It's
all that I can give you If you strike one
Biloe. you will never strike another!'
The flret few day passed quickly, an
one might have Imagined that one was
staying In some gay bote), where dances
and game and concerts and delightful
little parties were the order of the day.
Several multimillionaire were on board,
including young Harold McCormlek, of
New York, the nephew of John D. Rocke
feller, who was traveMag with bU mother,
slater of the great otttUonalre.
But deeoiU all tha surface gaiety, we

to be run. The older folk participated In
Uttlo gaiety. Many of them were Amer
ican men who wcro going over to Belgium
with their prlvato motorcars to work
with the Red Cross. Others wore belated
ofllcors from Canada nnd Australia going
straight to tho front. Three wero Joining
the Royal Flying Corp:.
Tho wonders of wireless telegraphy Im
pressed greatly me. Its mechanism la be
yond me, but this I do know, because I
saw nnd heard It: A handle was turned,
a lever and n button wero pressod, and
In one fraction of a second a nhlp prob
ably 2000 miles away was answering with
Its odd little click, click In my ear! The
ship, like every other veasel In time of
war, would neither give Its name nor ex
act location, but was willing to talk. And
we had hailed It and received Its an
swer quicker than ono could draw a sin
gle breath!
DANCING WITH DANGER
On the night of Friday, Juno 25, as wo
were approaching tho wnr zone, n big
dance was given on deck. I shall never
forget that dance. The Chinese Innterns
shone on a gay scene, but as each, fox
trot or one-step ended, we each walked
straight to our particular life-preserver
A FASHIONABLE SILK FROCK FOR
THE WOMAN OF MATURE YEARS
OS
NE of the best places
see the newest and
most becoming fashions
Is on the. stage. There is
a good reason for 'this.
Tho success of an nctress
often depends upon the
taste she displays In cos
tuming her part at least,
her success with the ma
jority ot people. Besides
this, certain productions,
such ns comlo operettas
inul tho like, are Justly
famous for the elaborate
ness of their extremely
up-to-date creations. The
models for these gowns
come straight from Paris,
and, no matter what the
cost, they are reproduced
perfectly.
A renowned French de
signer has sent us the
model for this rose-colored
messallne afternoon
frock Blanche Coutaln,
ot the Rue de la Palx.
One ot the particularly
noticeable points about
this gown Is the fact that
It Is evidently designed
with an eye to dressing
the stout woman fashion
ably. This Is a thing
which requires special
attention and a good deal
of practical knowledge.
The bodice Is made In
the simple surplice style,
with no trimming not
even a lace collar to re
lieve the severity of line
at the neck, The sleeves
nre Bhort, with wide
turned-back cuffs, show
ing an under ruffle of
cream shadow lace.
Cordlngs of tho rose silk
are used to outline the
shoulder seams.
The skirt Is decidedly
full, with a dainty edging
of silk tassels also rose
colored all around the
tunic. Large fl a p s,
made to Imitate the fash
Ion able pockets are
caught In place by but
tons of all-over lace. This
Is a novel feature and
typically distinctive. A
short petticoat of the
(ace shows all the way
around beneath the short
tunic like many of the
Imported models seen
this summer. I have
seen few styles which
suit the elderly woman
as well as this charming
afternoon ' gown.

ond In a would-bo cnrelefls fashion saw
that the straps were fixed on tight. One
young couple, honeymooncrs of tho the
atrical world, cheerfully fox-trotted
down the decks with their llfe-prcscrV-ers
buckled on them.
I came on deck early on the morning ot
Saturday, Juno 26. And there were tho
sailors lowering nil the life-boats, ready
fnr nnnflenanrR nt n moment's notice.
while others were releasing tho rafts and
preparing tho Hfe-savlng devices. Others
were carrying bales of life-preservers to
tho decks. It wns only too obvious now
that wo wero Indeed In the wnr zone.
Away on tho horizon, off tho starboard
bow, wo sighted a supcrdrcadnought! In
vain tho captain signalled It. In vnln the
Marconi ofllco called It. It utterly re
fused to answer. And tho St. Paul veered
a Ilttlo nnd changed tho direct lino of her
course.
Later, a British ship called us to keep
well south of tho coast of Ireland nnd to
look out for mines. At dinner that night
our gay central table was quieter than
usual, perhaps because Captain Passow
looked anxious, nnd'ato hurriedly. Ho
had not changed to evening clothes, but
woro his uniform. Ho hurried back to
tho bridge at tho earliest moment.
Suddenly tho orchestra Btruek up tho
Marseillaise, nnd tho tension deepened
ns the cntlro saloon roso to their feet
and broko Into wild cheers. Abovo tho
noise of the wind nnd waves, tho wild
flapping of the canvas, which surrounded
the decks, and tho cheers of tho passeng
ers, the music changed to the Belgian
national nnthem. Every ono was keyed
up to the highest nervous strain. The
Russian National Anthem was played,
then "Rule Brlttnnla," nnd then "The
Star-Spangled Banner." The cheers be
came deafening, and ono old gentleman
I don't know his name, but I liked him
with tears streaming down his Checks
shook mo wildly by tho hand.
"THANK GOD FOR AMERICA."
"Do you hear that?" ho cried. "We're
In tho war-zone, but It's tho 'Star
Spansled Banner.' Oh, thank God for
America!"
On tho sldo of tho ship, In enormous
letters which sprawled from stem to
stern, was painted in whlto "American
Line, St. Paul." And that night great
poles were hung down with blazing lights
to beat on tho letters so that five miles,
10, 20 miles, away nt sea, the German
submarines could rend tho words.
I heard that tho stokers went on mutiny
that night Tho tension hnd been too
much for some of them. Things quieted
down later, however, when two of them
had been put In irons.
I sat up all night long. It was the most
thrilling night of my life. "Are you folks
really going to sit up?" snld a stout and
cheerful Now Yorker as tho hour drew
toward midnight "Nothing on onrth
would keep me on this cold deck tonight!

I'm oft to my comfortable cabin." And
ho departed, leading his wlfo with him.
But, nlas for brave resolves! A couple
of hours later as wo wero sitting In tho
lounge, n. curious sight was seen. The
vnllnnt-hcnrtcd gentleman hovo Into
view, clad in night nttlro nnd- with u
couplo of blankets around lila' portly
form. In his arms was n largo rug and
ho carried six life preservers. Behind
him enmo his wife. In dressing gown and
nightcap, the Instruments of salvation
also In her arms.
"Are you young peoplo still sitting
there?" queried tho valiant one, sheep
ishly. "I've changed my mind about
sleeping below. Wo'ro going on deck,
It's cooler there!" I passed them later,
sound asleep, tho life preservers close at
hand.
At 2:30 n. m. Lord Ossulton said ho
wished to show mo a strnngo sight back
In tho second class. And so with the
wind blowing wildly In our faces, tho
canvas Happing ltko the sound of guns,
wo gropbd our way along the sloping
decks. Tho St. Paul was listing badly,
for her heavy cargo seemed to shift in
tho strangest fashion.
"Look there," said Lord Ossulton, us
he pointed to the stern. "They sny that
Britannia dules the waves, but America's
aoing ner Dlt tonight." And I looked. A
great and solitary nro lamp Illuminated
tho American flag at the stern, a light so
strong that no submarlno could mistake
Its nationality. And, clinging tightly to
thnt flag-staff, a life preserver round her
and her hair streaming In tho wind, lay
a woman sound asleep, a look of utter
peace on her face and tho American flag
staff clutched closo against her heart!

tho day Is dono
And darkness Is upon the world, how
swift my eager flight
Into the garden of my heart that wlta
