AGGRAVATING LITTLE TRAITS;
THE CHRONIC BORROWER
In Many Cases Those Transactions Are Carried on With a Skill
and Finesse Which Assumes the Proportions
of a Fine Art,
By ELLEN ADAIR
OF COUHSE we are all prone nt some
time or other to bo marooned by a
ahower nt a place where It becomes our
alternative to request tho usa of our
neighbor's umbrella or get wet and
finally decide to violate our resolution
never to borrow.

there Is only one thing
to do, since tho shops

Those exigencies
occur In the bust regulated families. Hut
the habit of borrowing should be kept
well within control.
The borrowing of money Is chlclly a
masculine phenomenon, and among vices
Is rated a tittle less serious than falling
to return tho sum. Hut nmong women
this habit of borrowing sometimes
achieves tho dignity and proportions of a
fine art.
Many a feminine next-door neighbor
would mako a shipwrecked mariner look
like a surfeited sultan In the matter of
supplying her needs by the loan system.
In tho morning she begs tho loan of tho
percolator, so that alio may make coffeo
wherewith to generate sufficient energy
for the day's borrowing. To her wo send

JUSTacrosslthe nllcy from tho garden
wheroK Billy' Ilobln nnd Tommy Tittle
mouso Hvjcdstood a comfortable big barn.
And in tils1 barn lived Olpsy, a dainty
little Jct-bWk horse. Gipsy belonged to
6-year-old usan, and great pals they
were, you may bo sure.
Long before- Gipsy was old enough nnd
wise enough Yo bo brought Into the city,
Susan and Iter father used to mako
weekly vlsltsto tho farm whero Gipsy
lived. Susan always carried lumps of
sugar orVappIesiln her pocket nnd It was
not long till Gipsy learned to know where
these goodfcs samo from, and to hunt
them out ofaSusan's pocket with her soft
ltttlo nose.
So you dccj wjien Gipsy was finally
brought Into the city, she and her little
mistress were nlrtendy old friends. Susan
soon learned to idrlvo Gipsy, and then
such good tlmest na the two did have.
"Remember, Susan," Susan's father had
said, "you can train a horso to do any
thing, so bo vcareftil what you teach
Gipsy." And Sononipromised to bo care
ful. Susan's father wan very prompt about
his luncheon it must be served at 13
o'clock and all tho family must be on
time. So, whenever Susan and Gipsy
wero out driving, they were always care,
ful to be homeon time.
But one day, jvheni Susan was vlsltlnn
a. little friend, Bhe nvas having such a
good time she forsoti all about luncheon.
The first whl8tlesbtpw no Susan came
running out of thoh'ousc. Gipsy turned
nnd twisted In her harness, but not a sign
of her llttte mistress .could she see. The
next whistle blow o Susan! Gipsy
looked long and carefully, then nodded
her head, as though she had decided
something, and star tcdS oft home by her
self, Just as the family satl down to lunch
eon, Gipsy trotted' Into Hho ynrd. Such
a-hurrylng and' a-scurrylng cm there wa
till Susan, safe and sound at her friend's
house, was found. "I guess Instead of
training Gipsy, she Is training you!"
laughed father when the. excitement was
over, and he must have been right, foil
Susan was never late again!
When' Susan took little ,brother for a
ride. Gipsy always looked around care
fully to be sure everybody was ready be
fore she started. Her look seemed to say,
"Be sure you have little' brother tucked In
tightly!" Then sho would start down tho
road.
One day Susan unexpectedly decided
she wanted to take a ride. No one was
at home to harness Gipsy, but Susan
didn't mind. "I can do It myself," she
cried gaily, as she ran to the barn. "I
know Just how to do It, because I have
watched father."
She pulled out her light little carriage,
Kot down the harness from the rack and
called to Olpsy. "Now, If only,I could put
this over her head, we could) go," said.
Susan as Gipsy obediently trotted out
from her stall. Gipsy seemed! to under
stand, for she bent her head idown low
and stood perfectly still while Susan
pulled and twisted la an effort' to adjust

MY LADY DISCARDS
HER BACK-LACED SHOES
Side-Laced Footwear Also Gives
Way to Conservative and
Sensible Style.
If moral terror has been clutching nt
your heart strings nt the thought of de
veloping curvature of tho spine from lac
ing your pcdnl extremities up tho back,
cheer up! Hope has appeared on tho
horizon. It takes the shape of a pro
nunclamento from leading shoe manu
facturers who have met together re
cently In solemn council. It decrees war
to the bitter end on tho laced-up-the-bnck
variety ot shoo and Its sister, tho
eldo-laccd kind.
The mandate has been Issued that tho
shoe of tho coming season will bo neat,
but not gaudy. It will be black, first of
all, and tan, secondly. Hut there .will
be no mixtures. Mnmma's sand-colored,
laced-up-the-backs will be decidedly
passe, and Maudle'a magenta slde-har-ncssed
ones, which she bought to match
her new tnffotn, can turn their toes up
to tho daisies, as far as Dame Fashion
Is concerned.
In short, tho feminine world, after n
senson of hectic styles In footgear, Is
facing a conservative era. Feminism nnd
the growing scnslbieness of women In
general, is responsible in some measuro
for the reactionary move, according to
the shoe dealers.
"Wo enn't launch tho freak stylcB with
tho same degree of success that we used
to," a local expert said, "because the
women of todny won't fall for them. A
few who have moro money than thoy
know what to do with will wear tho
outer laced up the back and side kind,
but the average woman on whom we de
pend for tho bulk of our trade, can't be
induced to consider them.
"Manufacturers are beginning to realize
this and, ns a result, they are expending
their best efforts In making attractive
conservative shoes. The fall styles will
show this."
Despite tho fact, however, that women
In general have turned their backs on
freak Bhoes, tho kind that they want, ac
cording to the makers, Is not tho big,
sprawly, mannish boot with square toes
and flat heels, of mudscow proportions.
As conceived by tho manufacturers for
the fall trade the new shoo will be a
long-vamped, medium-French heeled af
fair, with the receding toe, to Impart an
nlr of slim elegance. Black Is tho pre
ferred color, though tan will be put out
for walking and business purposes.

Converted to the "Cause" After Listening to Plea of One of the
Leaders in Propaganda of "Votes for
Women."
"TTW'Eltr man, woman and child should
Hi bo for womnn suffrage." This state
ment is made by Miss Minnie. C. Lavln, of
2158 North 12th street, a convert to tho
suffrage cnuso and a deserter from tho
"nntl" ranks, who has Just avowed her
Intention to follow tho "votes for women"
bnnner. Miss Lavln Is a small, dark,
girlish-looking ltttlo person with nn abun
dance of enthusiasm, which sho displays
to tho fullest extent when she tells how
alio became a suffragist.
"You sco it was like this," sho said,
bonding forward and looking straight Into,
the Inquirer's eyes. "I was a strict anti
and thought that tho Idea of women
wanting to vote was absolutely out of tho
question, and as for ever becoming a
suffragist myself, it was the last thing
that I could over havo wanted to happen
to me. But somehow tho other day all
my Ideas on the subject seemed to change.
I stopped and by tho way, for tho first
tlmo In my life on the street to listen
to an out-of-door suffrage meeting on tho
postofllce plaza. After a few minutes I
was simply carried away by -what tho
speaker said nnd remained spellbound
for ono whole hour. Think of It!" sho
added with a guilty smile, "of me, an
antl, standing there listening with rapt
attention to a suffrage, speech."
Sho then explained, and her enthusiasm
roso to Its height, how she had de
termined to becomo a suffragist and had
gono Immediately to tho Equal Fran
chise Society to get somo "pointers"
about tho "cause."

ZEALOUS
ADVOCATE OF SUFFRAGE
fraglst, Miss Lavln hns settled down to
study all about tho question nnd read
pages and pages of suffrage "literature."
With a smile she pointed to a shelf filled
with suffrage, books and at tho samo
tlmo with determination In her looks,
said resolutely, "I am going to know all
that's In those."
Though sho has but recently becomo a
suffragist, Miss Lavln was not at all
reticent In speaking of votes for women.
In fact, her enthusiasm so gets tho bet
ter of her that sho admits that sho
could "talk about It forever." Wh!lo
discussing tho matter, sho said there Is
ono thing that Irks her and that Is tho
statements made so often by persons op
posed to tho "causo" that women will
loso their femininity If given the vote.
"Why, It's absurd,".' sho said with an
angry touch to her voice nnd then added
naively to prove her statement,
"Femininity Is ono of woman's chief
charms and what woman would do any
thing that would causo her to lose her
charms I"
Sho Is suro that what women want first
of all is a home of their own, and that
giving them tho vote will aid them ma
terially In getting thlB. It will help to
ralso wages and Indirectly give moro
couples tho means to marry who now
aro forced to remain single on account
of tho lack of funds. It will be a homo
builder and not a homo destroyer. "For,"
Bhe said with a slight blush, "ono ot
woman's highest ambitions Is to marry
and sho will try to mako conditions per
missive of this."

CAMDEN WOMAN SENDS NEWS.
News of this departure In warfaro
comes In a lengthy letter from Miss Wini
fred do Merclor, tho Camden young
woman who wns decorated by King
Georgo for distinguished bravery on tho
battlefields of Flanders. Writing from a
point in France, the namo of which was
obliterated by tho censor, Miss do-Mercler
says:
"Realizing that many of tho officers'
mounts nnd thoso engaged In moving tho
heavy artillery; pieces from one placo on
the long battle line to another needed
only llttlo attention to render them fit for
renewed scrvlco after minor Injuries,
Arthur J. Coke, Esq., organized the Blue
Cross Society, to provide the necessary
skill and accessories for the treatment of
horses that wero disabled in action. His
efforts met with responso from tho titled
families of Old England, and In tlmo Lady
Smtth-Dorrlen, whoso husband commands
a division of tho English army, was elect
ed president of tho organization. Funds
wero raised and volunteer surgeons re
cruited for the work.
"Lord Kitchener Induced tho French
military authorities to allow tho field hos
pitals for animals to bo established as
closo to tho battle lines as possible, and
then got them to agree to collect ths
wounded noracs and transport them for
treatment. As a consequence of this, tho
work has taken tremendous strides, nnd
Captain Clarcmont, n. N., tho director In
charge, has been allotted offices at the
French Staff Headquarters In tho Elysee
Pnlaco Hotel, Paris.
ARRANGING THE HOSPITALS.
"Taking old buildings and Btock farms
that once raised masslvo draught horses
for the United States, tho Bluo Cross or
ganization converted them Into quarters
for tho Infirm horses. . Pharmacies, kitch
ens nnd wards have nil been white
washed, disinfected and fitted un In n.
thoughtful but economical manner, and
the Btaff, ltcen nnd capable, spick and
span, In their whlto overalls, give a splen
did Impression of thoroughness.
"wnen l visited Morot-sur-Lolng I saw
M. Fromcnt Maurice, tho noted sculptor,
who Is giving his motorcar and exclusive
time to ono of these hospitals. Unfor
tunately, an outbreak of glanders has nul
lified, to an extent, tho work that this
hospital could do, for It Is an Ironclad
rule that no horses aro delivered to these
hospitals unless thoy are guaranteed free
from Infection. Entering tho first ward
of this hospital, I saluted the 30 or 40 odd
patients undergoing treatment. Tho sight
of this line of patient veterans, standing
still and silent In the dim light, had some
thing accusing In it. I felt awed as
I thought of tho ordeal through which
these dumb heroes had passed, and I am
not ashamed to say that I applauded
when I saw men visitors ralso their hatB.
Saber and bullet wounds nro In the
minority. Absolute exhaustion Is common,
but tho majority of cases are deep and
painful saddle marks, that must have In
volved Intense suffering.
WORK FOUNDED ON JUSTICE.
"So this Bplendld work goeB forward.
Declnred to bo quixotic, even resisted in
somo quarter, as was the Red Cross, Its
Irresistible strength lies In the fact that
It Is founded on the solid ground ot Jus
tice. The war Is a fight against the
iniquitous doctrine that might Is right,
and tho Blue Cross is tho living example
that the time Is past when man considers
that he has the right to tho unrequited
service of dumb creation because he hna
the might."
Miss de Mercler, who formerly lived at
223 Cooper street, Camden, wns secretary
to the State Dental Board for several
years and left her homo In Camden late
In February to take service In the Red
Cross Society. As told exclusively In the
Evenino LEDOErt a few weeks ago, her
conduct on the battlefield won her a
decoration. Her letter detailing the es
tablishment of the horse hospitals was

EDINBURGH. Juno 30.-Edlnburgh is
now ft deserted city so far as Its former
life and gaiety nro concerned. Every
man available Is off to tho war, Irrespec
tive of his profession or business. Tho
beautiful streets-and Edinburgh Is tho
most beautiful city in the whole world,
without a doubl-aro furlouylr changed
from their former gaiety and llgnthearl-
The first sight which greeted my eyes
on getting out Into Princes street was
n! strange one. Hundreds of very younS
girls, nged from about S years to u,
wero marching along In line, headed by
two military bands playing Up With
tho Bonnets of Bonnie Dundee, 'and
theso very youthful maidens wero bear
ing largo banners, on which was painted,
"Rally round your country's flag anil
many other messages. All tho women
of title, such as Lady Duncdln and Lady
Belhaven nnd the Marchioness of Tullt
bnrdlnc wore careering along In their
cars with flying banners benrlng similar
Inscriptions.
I was particularly struck by tho won
dorful manner In which hospitals and
nrivato residences given over to tho
wounded aro conducted. There Is no
exottomont, no hysteria, no unnecessary
fussing. But tho very latest surgical de
vices, the very last word In comforts and
appliances aro all ready, and tho women
working night and day to help.
Private physicians and some of tho
most famous surgeons In tho world, such
as Alexis Thompson, whoso name and
fame aro known all over America, glvo
all their tlmo to treating tho wounded,
and put tholr motorcars ontlrcly at tho
disposal of all convalescents nblo to got
out.
Red Cross and ambulanco work Is car
ried on In tho most perfect tnannor. At
all tho stations, refreshments nro pro
vided for tho wounded frco of charge, and
all tho Edinburgh society women work
at tho stations. ,
I visited many soldiers' families In tho
famous old High street, and heard from
tho soldiers themselves how well thoy
are treated. There Is a largo army who
devoto their entlro days to looking after
tho soldiers' families, so that no one is
left destitute.
A houso that once, 600 years ago, be
longed to the Earl of Stair, Is now
crowded with soldiers' families. For 50
years It has been ono tho worst slums'
in Edinburgh, divided' into single apart
ments of ono room, in which wholo fam
ilies are crowded.
I visited this house and hnd an Inter
esting talk with ono soldier's wlto. Her
home consists of one room, and in that
room are crowded six children, her old
mother nnd another married sister. "Wo
aro better off now than wo over wero
boforo the war," said sho, "because, be
fore tho war enma wo all lived on IS
shillings a week. (This equals ti.) Now
we aro getting from tho Government 25
shillings a week (about JC), and aro con
stantly visited by kind ladles, who glvo
us clothes and extras."
Edinburgh Castlo Is occupied by German
prisoners, and I am much struck by. tho
kindness with which theso men nro
treated. As far as I can Judge, they havo
everything thoy can desire, and I hear no
complaints whatever. In fact, they strike
me as particularly bright and contented.
Tho Boy Scouts look extremely smart In
their uniforms and aro doing excellent
work. Tho city certainly presents a
strango appearanco with Its barbed wire
entanglements and trenches, all ready for
any emergency.
Drilling goes on In every part of tho city
and enthusiasm Is very high. Thero Is
not the slightest difficulty In Eett.lng re
cruits In Edinburgh, for every man is
only too nnxlous to get to the front nnd
there is a long waiting list of schoolboya
who aro still too young. 'Men beyond the
age limit are being drilled for homo de
fense to enable tho younger men to go to
the front.
I crossed the famous Forth Bridge by
train, and was amused and a little an
noyed to havo my handbag taken .from
me, as ono Is not even allowed to carry
the tiniest parcel! This Is in order to
prevent explosives being dropped on the
bridge, several futllo attempts having
already been mado to blow It up. Sen
tries are stationed all along tho bridge
