ON RETUIlNma to London nfter a
protracted absence. I am very greatly
struck by the difference between tho Eng
lish md and her American cousin. The
English servant girl Is content with up
much less In the way of wage, freedom,
position In tho household, thnt the con
trast between her and tho American serv
ant girl Is very marked.
The English servant girl never for an
Instant Imagines that she Is anything
more than a servant. She knows her truo
place and she keeps It In the kitchen.
She la bright, Intelligent and, above all.
Intensely respectful. Not for her tho In
sistently Independent manner which char
acterizes so many of
tho American "helps "
The English girl In
something of a
fatalist. She realties
early In llfo that she
has been born Into the
great working class,
and there she Is con
tent to stay for tho
rest of her days. To
look higher, matri
monially or from tho
social climber's point
of vlow, would seem
to her llko an Imperti
nence and that sho
would never attempt.
Tho English hand
maiden (r n rhnrrftll
being in the presenco of her companions
all English middle-class homes boast of
at least two and generally threo scrants
but In the presence of her "master" and
' mistress" she Is a somewhnt subdued
being,
This subdued attitude docs not betoken
any fear of her superiors. It Is merely
that tho maid realizes that her employers
are very much her superiors, and sho ro
spects them accordingly. Social differ
ences run through so many tiny shades
and gradations that It would tako years
for the mind of tho Amorlcan maid to
grasp them all.
In spite of her subdued and respectful
manner, the English servant girl Is n
wonder nt Bumming people up. She al
AGAIN ASK GOVERNOR
TO INDORSE SUFFRAGE
Miss Mary Winsor Calls on
Brumbaugh to Support
"Cause" Openly.
Another request that ho come out In
favor of woman suffrage has been sent
to Governor Martin O. Brumbaugh, this
time by Miss Mary Winsor, president of
the Pennsylvania Limited Equal Suffrage
League. The Woman Suffrage party
made a similar request to tho Governor
yesterday. Miss WInsor's letter to the
Governor follows:
"As you know, tho woman suffrage
amendment will be voted on at the elec
tion on November S and tho time la grow
ing very short In which to conduct v a
campaign In such u largo and thickly set
tled State as Pennsylvania.
"Suffragists believe, you to be in favor
of woman suffrage. We know, however,
that a great Impetus would bo given to
the movement If jou were to come out for
It more prominently. In New York, which
Is. like Pennsylvania, a campaign State,
Governor Whitman does not hesitate to
say that he intends to vote for the amend
ment; the Mayor, of New York city and
so many of the officials nro openly In
favor of It that the suffragists have been
able to publish a leaflet of tho city and
State officials who believe that women
should bo enfranchised. This leaflet, of
course, has mode a profound impression
on the voters,
"Tho earnest women of Pennsylvania,
who are working so sincerely and devot
edly to enfranchise their Bex, would
greatly value the prestige and encourage
ment that would be lent to the movement
by the hearty and cordial association of
your name.
"Hoping that this will not be long with
held from us. I am
"Yours sincerely,
"MAItY WINKOn."

After a couple of years' absence from
home Lawrence Wheat was playing In a
city nearby and Invited his father to
come over and see the show. When the
last curtain had rung down the elder
Wheat went back of the stage to Bee his
son. and while they wero chatting tho
treasurer appeared at the door of the
dressing room and handed Lawrence his
pay envelope The old gentleman saw
the figures on the outside and his eyes
sparkled "My boy," he said, "you don't
tell me you get that much every week,
do your- "That's right, dad." "Well,
well," said the old gentleman, thought
fully, "Is that boT What other chorea do

Old Man Owl's
Onh summer night, when the garden
glowed In the moonlight and the crea
tures of tho day were asleep, Old Man
Owl decided that he wanted something to
da "Those daytime creatures always
have wonderful adventures," ho said to
himself, "I'd like to know why nothing
wer happens to me! Billy Robin wakes
oe up every morning; with some adven
ur story and I have nothing to tell
sack And I'm tired of It"
"Dear me, ' said a voice close behind

ways recognises "a real lydy" when ehe
sees one If )qu take much notice of
her, and converse With her without a hint
of patronage In your
voice, sho will very
quickly decide that
you aro a little "too
free," and,, there
fore, not a very great
"lydy" after all.
In tho matter of
wares the American
Is far ahead of the
English girl. The tat
ter's salary may hi
measured In quarters
compared with the
American girl's dol
lars Two dollars a
week Is a very excellent rate of pay for
an English girl, who Is quite pleased to
tako It
Moreover, sho makes few demands on
her emplojer's generosity In the way of
holidays. Sho Is content with her "eve
ning off" once a week, and Is In her glory
If she can get a khakl-clad Tommy to
walk out with.
This brings me to another point The
English servant girl makes few demands,
financially, on her lovor. If he buys her
two cents' worth of candy Bho Is quite
welt satisfied.
In her employer's house she Is alwas
exceedingly smart, wearing spotless white
cap, with long streamers, and a dainty
apron, heavily starched. At every home
after 12 o'clock each maid comes forth
Immaculate. In her black and white "uni
form." On her evening out
the English maid Is
not p a r 1 1 c u larly
smartly attired. Sho
Is afraid her em
ployer would not
llko her to "dress
up." It would not
befit her position as
a servant to be
flaunting around In
tho latest fashion of
sartorial art, she
thinks And nn thn
English servant girl Is quite as easy to
recognize and class upon tho street ns
sho lt when on duty In hor employer's
house.
'Around the Household
Ice cream Is sometimes frozen so hard
that It docs not come out of tho mold
easily. When this "happens let tho cold
water run over the outside of the can.
The water Is so much warmer than the
ice cream that It melts It sufficiently to
start It out, and does not melt It enough
to spoil the shape, of tho mold.
To remove mildew soak article in sour
milk and salt and lay In tho sun Or
use chloride of lime made In proportion
of a tcaspoonful of lime to a quart of
water.
Next -time you bake beans add a diced
carrot, a couple of tomatoes cut fine, and
one small onion, brownod In pork fat,
and see what a delicious dish you have.
Iclns for a cake can be colored a beau
tiful pink with a small auantltv of beet
Juice. It is inexpensive and absolutely
puro.
To cleanso hands from vegetable stains,
rub with a slice of raw potato.
Iron rust stains may bo removed from
goods by using sour milk.
To prevent cream from spotting table
linen, dip linen In cold water before
washing.
Press mohair with a very moderate
Iron. Press silk between two pieces of
tissue paper.
Make a slip of tan linen for tho balsam
pillow cross stitch a pine tree design on
It In darker brown shade.
To clean out flour barrel use a child's
small broom: the long-handled kind.
When you must go to the dentist's
carry your prettiest boudoir cap and do
11 before you get Into tho chair; and
when the ordeal Is over vou will find
your hair In as good order as when you
rociib in.
All the trials and tribulations caused
when trying to sew the bows on one's
pumpa may be avoided If a few curved
surgical needles are added to the sewing
""i. i-urcnaoo atany orug store.
Cream of tomato soup Is not apt to
curdle If a teaspoonful of cornstarch
with a pinch of soda Is mixed In thi
cream bofore It Is added to the tomato
mixture.
If the wall Is so soft that It will not
hold a picture nail, mix a little plaster
of parts and water: enlarge the hole and
fill with the plaster and In a minute
Insert the nail and let It dry.
When one rjps out threads they wish
they had three hands Use a steel crochet
hook and the work Is easily done. Pull
out bastings the same way.
Linen that has become yellow may be
bleached snow white If soaked In butter
milk for a short time rinse and hang

Hu a Staff Correspondent
SAN DIEOO, Cal., July 28.-Lodgor tour
ists have been In Mexico, calling upon
Villa's nondescript troopers at tho quaint
old fort at Tijuana. They arrived hero
yesterday, stopping at tho , Hotel San
Diego, and went off in automobiles Im
mediately across tho border. All had pic
tures taken wearing Mexican sombreros
and blankets and striding burros. Tijuana
Is tho Monte Carlo of America. The dirty
little town is full of gamblers, saloons and
soldiers. Everybody tried faro and rou

position heard Roosevelt plead for a regu
lar army of at least 200,000 men. Tho
crowd snouted.
"Do you bellevo In war with Mexico?"
Roosevelt, angry, retorted:
"I believe in enforcing peace In Mex
ico." Tho crowd of 30,000 roared Its apprecia
tion when tho Colonel, arguing for com
pulsory military service, shouted:
"I want to see young Astor and young
Vanderbllt sleeping In dog tents besldo
the boys of the East Sldol"
Tho Colonel repeated his warning that
the United States should not bo "Chlna
flcd." Roosevelt was supposed to be taking a
fling at the Administration's Lusltanla
attitude when he cried, explaining his
landing of troops and seizure of the Pan
ama Canal :
"Battleships arrived In time to prevent
the massacre of American women and
children. I did not look with favor upon
tho killing of American marines, sailors,
women and children, afloat or ashore!"
Earlier In the day the Colonef declined
an Invitation to lunch with the San Diego
Ad Club, and when tho Invitation Com
mittee pressed him and remarked that
Bryan had been a luncheon guest, he
said:
"Well, If they had Bryan for luncheon
that settles It; they most certainly can't
have me. Let them get a two-headed
calf now."

TUB-SILK TAILORED
ARE COOL
SUMMER blouses are
settling down to
standard types now, as
the fashions for sum
mer wear are almost on
the wane. Many ot
our foremost designers
show fall blouses, and
all the wholesale houses
have their stock quite
complete. A notable
return style In this
season of revivals Is
the tailored blouse
Fashions will always be
more or less para
doxical, and the roost
amusing paradox of all,
perhaps. Is the pre
dominance of two wide
ly different favorites
the delicate, clinging
Georgette crepe blouse
and the sturdy, tub-silk
tailored blouse.
Women themselves
are to blamo for tile
change. They have
taken up so many vital
interests which seem to
accentuate the neces
sity for practical cloth
ing that the tailored
mannish blouse Is ac

EXCHANGE HELPS
EARN THEIR
Overbrook School Maintains Salesrooms Where All Sorts of Beau
tiful and Useful Articles Made by Sightless Can be Bought.
Weavers and Piano Tuners Furnished.
THERE are, perhaps, very few people In
Philadelphia who could tell you what
building occupies tho spaco allotted to 204
South 13th street. Perhaps, even those
who know the building fall to understand
what Is being done thore. A visit Is all
that Is necessary to convince one that a
great work Is going onhoro In a very
Unostentatious way. Tho namo that
adorns this building Is "Pennsylvania In
stitution for tho Instruction of the Blind,
Overbrook. Salesroom and Exchange."
This exchange Is maintained by the
Overbrook Institution, which pays all ex
penses. Most of the work brought to the
exchango Is mado by graduates of tho
Overbrook school. Strange as It may
seem, these poor people robbod of their
sight, nro so trained that they aro able to
make an honest living even under the
handicap. They aro fitted to cam their
living, provided tho public will glvo them
tho opportunity by purohasing their
products or giving them work to do. Ll
borlo Delflno, who Ib In charge, Is ready
at nny tlmo to Bend out oxpert blind
workmen as piano tuners, organists or
weavers, ond he guarantees the work to
be entirely satisfactory.
Aa may be seen from the accompanying
photographs, there Is great variety In tho
handiwork of these people. Aprons, bas
kets o"f nil kinds, brooms, whisks, candlo
shades, chair caning, coat hangers, cro
chet work, flower hangers, hammocks,
laundry bags, mops, raffia bags, rag car
pots, rugs, slipper trees, ' trays, and. In
fact, almost everything that can be made
by hand may bo purohased hore.
The raw material Is purchased by the
blind through tho exchange, and It Is
then taken home, where most of tho work
Is done. When an article- Is sold, tho full
amount Is paid to the maker. It Is a note
worthy fact that many department stores
buv rugs from this exchango and then re
sell them.
"The exchange always alms to Inspire
and stimulate the blind to self-help as far
as mental and physical conditions per
mit," says Mr. Delflno. 'Wo try to advise
and direct them Into channels where they
will be most useful to themselves and
their community. The guidance given
must always be of such a nature as to
make them as resourceful and self-reliant
as possible.
"When we consider the difficulties In
volved In procuring work for the blind
and the obstacles whloh the blind them
selevi have to overcome in any profes
sion or occupation they pursue, the re
sults of this recent expansion of our
work ore certainly gratifying and stimu
lating. Much has been accomplished for
the blind, but much more must be at
tempted and achieved In order to ame
liorate their condition properly and per
manently. Vast results can be secured by
presenting our Ideas effectively and tan
gibly to the public nnd by keeping the
work of the blind constantly before it."
Mr. Delflno has worked hard to accom
plish the things he mentions In his re
marks, but us he so plainly states, he can
do nothing without the aid of the public

troupes of performing dogs, monkeys and
ponies, barrels of pink lemonade, ham

The grounds of the Close houso wero gay
with flags and streamers.
Tea was served at 6 o'clock for the
guests, big ond little, on the veranda of
tho house. An hour later the guests went
home, the youngsters wondering If It
all could havo been true.
WOMAN ADOPTS AS SON
MAN SHE CANNOT MARRY
Sweet VoicoVon Cafe Singer a Homo
and a Fortune.
Tha sweet voice of Alois Mayer, 27 years
old, who earns his living by singing In a
Los Angeles cafe, and whose parents
were olive In Germany the last he heard,
won him a fortune when the California
Superior Court granted tho petition of
Mrs. Edith Amos, 47, to adopt him as a
son.
Mrs, Amos, who said she had been at
tracted by the singing, which reminded
her of her own dead boy, is the daughter
of Mrs. Mary A. Burke, of San Francisco.
At her death Mrs. Burko left on estate
valued at about $1,000,000.
"I couldn't very well marry him," Mrs.

LONDON, July 7.
TODAY Is "France Day" and London
Is for the moment transformed.
Everywhere I 'went today I eaw the
tricolor, and people who dldn t wear
tho little red, while nnd blue flog
wero In the minority. At all the hotels
nnd railway stations were crowfla oi
pretty girls nnd charming matrons doing
n brisk trade, tho proceeds of which went
to the French Red Cross fund.
Tho London shops wero all doing their
best, too. One popular Regent street
storo had epoclal counters where goods
sold were to ylold 80 per cent, of thoir
profits, and assistants had donned tho
emblem of tho day.
In all tho stores were stationed fair
sellers of badges, and twice I noticed
10 being paid for a simple little speci
men of tho Legion d'Honneur badge,
copied from M. Taul Cambon's own deco
ration. At noon I nttended the Low Mass cele
brated In Westminster Cathedral for the
French soldiers, and was greatly Im
pressed by tho solemnity and beauty of
the scene. It was n simple service, de
void of that splendor of ceremonial which
generally clings to tho ritual ot tho
Church of Rome.
Tho Lord Mayor of London In stato,
nn Imposing figure In his wonderful
robes, was escorted up 'the central aisle
by a red-robed priest, and among other
distinguished visitors took his seat on
gold-gilt chairs In front of tho high al
tar. Tho French Ambassador was, of
course, present with all the members of
his family, nnd so also were tho Rus
stan, Italian, Japanese and Belgian Am
bassadors. Tho muslo was entirely by French com
posers. Thero was no sermon, but every
thing of a marked simplicity. At tho
conclusion of tho sorvlco, when Cardinal
Bourne had given thi Pontifical Bless
ing, tho choir organist played the "Mar
seillaise," and the congregation slowly
dispersed. Yot many stayed behind, for
Westminster Cathedral Just now Is never
empty, nnd Its services of Intercession
never end.
After tho congregation had dwindled
n'way, I noticed a beautiful girl praying
alono In a shadowy corner, her ellm fin
gers caressing a small black rosary, Sho
was In mourning, and the light from one
of tho great stnlned-glass windows
showed that she had beon weeping. Later
sho spoko to mo. Ono of her brothers
had been killed In tho war, and now she
had Just heard that the other was dan
gerously wounded. "I havo .Been praying
lo bon Dleu to let him recover," she
said, "and also to take caro of my flanco,
who fights now at tho front.," It trans
pired that sho was a governess In tho
West End and none too happy In her lot.
"But soon I shall return to Paris," sho
added, "and then thero will be a wonder
ful reunion. Is It not bo?"
, In the afternoon I attended the garden
party and salo for the benoflt of. tho
French Red Cross at Montagu House,
which had been lent for the occasion by
tho Duko and Duchess of Buccleuch. It
was a wonderful and brilliant affair, ho
less than three. Queens all being presont
at tho same time. I saw Queen Mary
arrive about 3:30, wearing a dress of
navy blue silk with a coat of embroid
ered chiffon to match and a white straw
hat faced with black velvet and adorned
with a high, upstanding marabou feather
at ono side. 'Sho looked very hand
some and , stately, and whenever sho
appeared on tho terrace the national an
them was played, and there was a great
flutter among all present
With tho -Queen was Princess Mary,
grown tall and I was going to say
"stately," but she Is hardly that yot
Bho has, however, grown Into quite a
good-looking girl, her pretty fair hair
loosely dressed around her face. Two
years ago she was at ""the awkward
age," was ratherjihy and given to- blush

within a very short space of time, and
oh, tho prices sho charged!
