SOME DISADVANTAGES OF THE
"JOLLY GOOD FELLOW" TYPE OF GIRL
She May Be the Best Companion for a "Lark," 'but When It
Gomes to Settling Down She Is yeril
, Likely to Be Overlooked.
By ELLEN ADAIR
a "Urn "Jolly Good Fellow" Is n. young
.woman wllh whom wo are all tamlllnr
and of whom very many of us aro exceed
InRly fond On the other hand, there are
many of us who cordially dtsllko thnt eolf
ame lady and can see nothing (rood In
her, but only a very greai
deal of not exactly harm
but folly of an Irritating,
aggravating type.
Once upon a time I
knew a "Jolly Good Fel
low" who really had an
excellent heart and a very
kindly disposition, but
somehow or other sho nt-
' ways was misjudged. Sho
smoked Innumerable cigar-
cttes on all nnd overy oc
casion; sho had a fond
ness for ccrtnln phrases
which, though perfectly
harmless In themselves, nro
not usually found In tho
diction of refined pcoplo;
sho used to hang about her
father's stables nnd talk to tho grooms
until they were tired of tho very sight of
her. In England sho was what Is called
"horsey," and every athletic sport and
every pursuit tho average malo nrfoctod
she also mado tho bo-all and end-all of
existence.
Sho might have been rather a pretty
girl had she given her looks a chance.
But, of course, she didn't. As far ns her
complexion wis concerned It was a
pathetic wreck. "Why should I bother
about my skin?" sho would nslc cheer
fully, "I'm euro men don't put cold cream
on their faces at night and don't trouble
about their looks 1 Then why should I?"
This over-athletic damsel dressed atro
ciously. To bo as mascullns as possible
was her aim and object, and perhaps In
ono way sho succeeded. Cut sho didn't
make an attractive man and as a woman
sho was a total failure.
SAYS ELY KNOWS WHY
.PARK BOARD REFUSED
TO PERMIT PREACHING
Secretary of Commission
Declares Minister Could
Tell Reason That He De
mands of Officials More
Mystery Hinted.
Declares Alba B. Johnson and
Others Have Withdrawn
Support From Lemon Hill
Evangelist and Wants Him
to Explain Action.
Tho mystery of tho refusal of Fnlr7
mount Park Commissioners to grant n
Termlt to tho Lemon Hill Association
for services this summer was further
complicated today by the assertion that
"Doctor Ely knows very well why the
permit was not reissued."
That statement was made by Secretary
Martin, of tho commission, when ho was,
asked if that body had any reply to
make to tho demanda of the IteVi Dr.
James B. Ely, managing director of the
work, and J. Lincoln Ball, president of
the association, that the reason for tho
commission's action bo given.
"Incidentally," said Mr. Martin, after
asserting that Doctor Ely knows all about
it, "you might ask him why Alba B.
Johnson and others who liavo given him
financial backing have withdrawn their
support."
Mr. Martin denied that Councils had
appropriated money for a new pavilion at
Lemon Hill, as contended by officials of
the association.
"Doctor Ely Is laboring under a misap
prehension," ho Bald. "Although Coun
cils appropriated money for Improvements
in Falrmount Park, it was never speci
fied, nor requested by the Park Com
mission, that a new pavilion be erected
At Lemon Hill There Is already a large
and expensive pavilion at Lemon Hill,
and certainly there Is no need for another
one Just because Doctor Ely desires It."
Tho Lemon Hill Association oitlclals
have made public all correspondence
that has passed between them and the
Park Commissioners relative to the
granting of a permit for this summer.
This was done for the purpose of dis
crediting the assertions said to have been
wade by Ell Kirk Price, that "Doctor Ely
could reveal the reason for the refusal
through correspondence from the com
missioners if he desired to do so," There
was nothing from the commissioners to
indicate why the Park ofllclals has "found
It Inexpedient to renew the permit."
Doctor Ely said that the commission.
as a. matter of public duty, should make
public, Its reasons for preventing the ser
vices at Lemon Hill when It has granted
permits for meetings In other parts of
tho Pari.
At the same time Mr. Hall contends
that on appropriation of 135,000 for the
erection of a municipal pavilion at Lemon
Hill was evidence of the city's desire to
have the services continued. And. In
contradiction of the assertion of a Park
official that no money was available for
thin purpose, the president of the asso
ciation ays the clerk of Councils, In
Doctor Ely's presence, notified Secretary
Martin, of tho Falrraount Park Commis
sion, that the money was available and
subject to the commission's request.

Another curious nnd disappointing fact in
her career was that the threo men whom

For tho last 75 days Captain Tcllcfsen
has been virtually a prisoner here, while
tho owners of his squaro rigger and ship-
pcra of a cargo of grain wrangled over
credits and freight rates. Each day's
delay meant a loss of $200 or a total loss
of $15,000 slnco the vessel docked hore
May 15.
Captain Tcllcfsen enjoyed his first few
days ashore, but wheij they lengthened
Into weeks he began to fret nnd fume.
While he regretted the loss nccrulng to
his owners, ho got seasick and yearned
ngaln to ply tho waves bebenth yards
of billowing canvas. For days ho con
fined himself to his ship, anxiously wait
In',' orders from Its owners to go to the
Port Richmond gain elevators to load a
cargo of wheat. But the order never
came. Instead, ho received an order to

There really Isn't much

Today's gown is made

CRABS FOR THE ATLANTIC
Government to Plant Puget Sound
Giants in Narragansett Bay.
Having started on a campaign to In
troduce the Atlantic coast lobster to the
waters of Puget Sound, the Bureau of
Fisheries is now about to Inaugurate a
compensating campaign by transplant
ing thp giant crab of Puget Sound to
Atlantic coast waters.
Along In the middle of September fne
bureau will gather up a carload of the
flneBt specimens ot Puget Sound giant
crabs It can tind and ship them alive to
the New England coast. There they
' will be placed In the waters ot Narra-
f gansett Bay and otber haunts of tha
rab's cousin, the lobster, with the .hope
and expectation that they will flourish
nnd multiply In the new environment.
Dr Hugh M. Smltti, United States
C ommlssloner of Fisheries, Is confident
that the Puget Sound crab will be a
valuable addition to Atlantic coast;
I crustaceans. He has eaten it, he knows
' it Is good, and he believes that others
on this coast should snare his knowl
edge Not sufficient data Is yet on hand to
indicate the measure oft success that has
been achieved In transplanting last year
a large number of lobsters to the San
Juan Islands In Puget Sound. It Is un
lawful, for Che present, to take lobsters
in those waters, but individuals have re-
' ported 'navlngreeen some recently on the
fish wharves In Seattle. Those seen were
well grown and apparently healthy. It U
i believed that the experiment will prove
si cessful ,
That other great experiment trans-
unting humpback salmon from the
laitiic coat to Maine waters from
w('!j the native salmon have largely
, disappeared Is proving a , decided auo
Ltss. Reports, apparently wildly exag
gerated, have been received from private
individuals of the manner In which the
humpback are filling those streams, pis
counting these reports SO per eent and

tho caso was predicted yesterday morning
when Mr. Fennnn was nrrcstcd nnd com
pelled to deposit $200 ball for his nppear

cases the managers of tho amusement
places wero only summoned to appear and
not required to furnish ball. Tho cases
of Fred Moore, manager of tho Apollo
Theatre, nnd Charles Anderson, mana

first called and postponed until Friday on
account of tho nbsenco from tho city of
their counsel. When tho case of tho city
against Mr. Fonnan was called, Henry R.
Coulomb appeared for him and Assistant
City Solicitor J.'M. Sheen appeared for
tho city.
After much heated argument the ne-,
corder adjudged Mr. Fennan guilty of the
16 offenses and sentenced him to pay a
fine of $200 each for five of tho offenses,
with a Jail sentence of 31 days if tho
fines were not pnld. Sentence on tho
other 11 charges was deferred until Sep
tember 15.
An appeal has been mado to tho Su

There la much difference of opinion
here as to whether the appeal will act

whether they will band together for self
protection and open next Sunday or

Miss Roberta West Describes Grpivth of Profession and Whtii
Philadelphia lias uomrwuivu, w x ,wy,aa
During the Last GO Years,
NURSING as a profession Is barely 50
years old, an Interesting fact to re
call Just nt this time, when fltorles of
heroic devotion to tho wounded by the
gentle white-capped women In tho hos
pitals throughout tho wnr zones are being
told In many American periodicals.
Efficiency has becomo the slogan of the
profession, and another step In this
direction Is contemplated In tho proposed
affiliation of training schools for nurses,
which will bo tho main question discussed
nt tho meeting of tho Pennsylvania Stnto
Association for Graduate Nurses, to be
held In November Such an nmllntlon
wpuld cause to bo embraced In the courso
a more general-study of dlscasos.
A statement to this effect was mado by
Miss Roberta West, chief nurso nt tho
Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious DIs
cases Miss West said!
"Tho profession needs more good mater
ial, women who enter not becauso It Is
tho only thing thoy can do, but becauso
they have n dcalro to becomo cfllclcnt
trained nurses.
"Nursing ns a profession Is barely 50
years old nnd to Philadelphia belongs n
great deal of credit In Its development.
In 1834 tho Philadelphia General Hospital
(Blockley) was In such a deplorablo con
dition as regards order, cleanliness and
nursing that tho board of trustees know
tho tlmo had como when something must
bo done. It was said of the placo at that
tlmo that It wcro beter to put patients
In the street than ndmlt them to tho hos
pital. Tho nursing, such ns It wns, was
dono entirely by convalescents or other
equally unlit persons, who wore not only
Ignorant but In many lnstnnccs brutal.
"Tho lato Georgo W. Chllds, then
owner nnd publisher of tho Pudmc
LKDOBn, conceived tho Idea that Blockley
might bo lifted from lta depths by plac
ing nt its head somo compotcnt person
with a knowledge of nursing, who might
understand how to bring order out of
chaos. A search was Instituted and Miss
Allco Fisher, an Englishwoman of high
birth and breeding, possessing raro skill
In her profession, and a pupil of Flor
enco Nightingale, was appointed chief
nurso.
"Resting on her shoulders wns tho
whole responsibility ot regenerating
Blockley.' A training school for nurses
wns established, tho only training school
for nurses In this part of tho country,

private benevolence. By stntuto of Ed. '
ward J.II, 1349, It was enacted that none

for default of sustenance," nnd by Rich
nrrt III proprietors wcro obliged to dis
tribute a yearly sum to tho poor, Tho
origin of the present poor law In England
Is roferred to the time of Elizabeth, 1601.
Complains Again
"Hush!" whispered tho plno treo fairy
In tho owl's left ear, "don't move till wo
seo'what It isl"
For three minutes the garden lay mo
tionless In the moonlight. Then there
wns a movement and tho graylsh-blacit
streak darted back through tho garden,
skirted by the golden glow bed, slipped
through the rose patch and stopped right
by tho log whero Tommy Tlttlemouse
made his home,
"Now I know who thnt creature Is
and what Bho wants." cried tho plno trco
fairy In distress, "that's tho greedy old
house cat and sho has found where Tom
my Tlttlemouse lives and has como to
eat him upl Oh, dear, why will crea
tures do such dreadful thlngp? And Tom
my Is such a nice, polite little fellow! I
nm going to warn' him somo way! I m
'going to save him but how to do It Is
more than I know!)' And the poor, dis
tressed little fairy wrung her hands and
all but cried.
"It'B plain to see that you don't under
stand fairies," said the pine tree fairy. "I
and my mates, the oak treo fair) en and
all the other fairies of the garden, are
pledged to caro for all creatures Think
haw I mUBt feel to see one of my charges
eaten before my very eyes? That Is, he
will be eaten unless I warn him, but I
don't know how to do that."
"Well, I do," said Old Man Owl, Bud
denly realizing his importance; "I can
8a vo him for you!" He flew over to the
bush nearest the log and. in his loudest
voice called, "Who-o-o? Who-o-o-o?" and
that greedy house cat was so frightened
he scurried off to the house and Tommy
Tlttlemouse went along sleeping with
out even knowing of the danger that had
threatened him.
