Only this afternoon I was conversing
with a, Scottish minister of a particularly
Barrow type. While I delight In most
things connected with Scotland, I must
confess that many of tho "Auld Llchts"
tho Scottish church could well bo dis
pensed with, t
"Women" began tho minister slowly,
and with tho sonorous drone peculiar to
Scotch sanctity In the pulplt-a sound
which from early childhood has always
Been intensely Irritating to mc, assumed
as It Is, for the subduing of all contrary
opinion. "Women should all get married,
If they can only get a man!"
"But every woman at some time of her
life has had chances of marriage " I
ventured.
"Nothing of tho sort!" said Scotland's
spiritual adviser, testily; "don't toll mo
any nonsense of thut sort about the sex,
for T never will believe' Itl Women tako
tho men well, and I do not think they
nro always blessings upon tho con
trary." Out tho Scottish pastor Ignored her en
tirely as too carnal for any ministerial
attention, and proceeded: "Wives should
obey their husbands and defer to them
In every respect. Morrlago troubles arise
through wives seeking to bo assertive
nnd In alt the world Microns nothing mora
objcctlonabla thnn nn nsscrtlvo woman."
"Dut why should not women bo as
sertive. If they feel that way? Surely
they linvo as much right to Individuality
ns tho men?" said a young man, who
hod been listening with great attention.
"I do not sco why a woman's opinion
shouldn't bo Just as well wortirllatcnlng
to nnd ns Interesting ns n mans."
Tho Scottish minister regarded him
with n pitying cyo. For hero wan a man
who actually bo-
llovcd In women
hnvlng rights of
their own.
"My good fel
low," ho said, loft
ily. "If you will
only read your
Dlblo you will dis
cover thero that
woman was mado
for man, and un
derstand that,
therefore, In every
way Bhe s li o u 1 d
come vecond, and should conform to his
wlshesl"
And this opinion, unspoken or other
wipe, Is hold by a number of men larger
thnn ono would think possible In a sensi
ble world!
The Morning: Glory's Joy
GUHLED up tight In a morning glory
bud, on a vine on tho alley fence,
there slept a tiny fairy. And, as sho slept,
he dreamed a tiny dream about tho sunrise.
Even though It wns a tiny dream. It
was 'enough to waken the fairy. She
opened her big blue eyes and looked out
of the crack at tho top of tho bud.
"i ao bellevo It b most time to get up,
Pretty soon tho garden wakened. Tho
flower buds opened, tho fulrlcu hero nnd
there Jumped "up wide awake nnd began
their day. The sun crept higher In tho

And as the day grew, tho morning
glory shriveled. Smaller nnd smaller It
grew, till It was only a tiny bit of Its
former beauty nnd size. Tho beautiful

She said to herself, "I do bellevo It's most ) trumpet edges, curled up wearily and
morning, and that the sunrise Is going
to be Just like I dreamed It!"
The sky she could sco out of the top of
the bud was grayish blue, but even whllo
Bhe watched, a soft hint of pink crept
over tho bluo and a warm breath stirred
through the vines. "Yes, It's going to be
morning, and tho sunrise Is coming!" sho
cried happily.
Gently she stirred and stretched forth
her arms towards the sky. And ns she
moved, tho mornlnir nlorv hud nnnnmi
ever so little moro and let her1 sco a' bigger
piece of the heavens.
A little more, n little more, and the
Dower wbb wide open. Tho fairy lay
curled up In tho cenlei'. and looked at
the sky and the morning. Sho saw the
dawn paint the sky pink nnd yellow and
amber. She saw the stars blink "good
night" and slip to dreamland, sho saw tho
hadows stretch themselves cool and long
over the garden. ,
Then she looked at tho world around
her. Tho flower buds were mi ninn

Tho fnlry, returning from exploring the
garden, saw tho flower wilting and called:
"Oh. morning glory! You nre dylngl
Can't I do sojncthlng to savo you"
"Each his own Joy!" said the dying
morning glory. "I aaw tho dawn. Ono
dawn Is enough for n lifetime I may not

So every morning nil summer tho morn

Wgman'a Magazine.
Children of this city need have no fear
of spending a toylens Christmas this
year.
Thero are plenty of toys now on hand.
Philadelphia boasts of ono of the largest
toy factories In tho world, nnd Importers,
nlthough somewhat cmbnrrnssed by their
Inability to get toys out of Germany, due
to tho Ilritlsh embargo, sny they will not
be seriously affected.
Henry 0, Schwarz, of tho firm of CI. A,
Schwarz, 1006 chestnut street, which
makes and Imports hundreds of vnrlctlcs
of toys for the delight of tho "kiddles" Irt
tho city, Is responsible for tho above
statement.
Mr. Schwarz smiled when shown dis
patches from Washington which stated
that tho Stato Departmcnt'j agents wera
expecting tho toy Importers to bring their
Influence nnd pressure to bear on tho
British Government, nnd thus help this
Government Induce Great Britain to raise
tho embargo on German toys destined
for tho youngsters of tho United States.
"Wo have been trying for a long tlmo
to linvo this cmbnrgo lifted," ho said,
"but our fnlluro hasn't seriously nffected
the Imports of toys to date. All toys
that wero ordered and paid for, up until
March 4, wero received In this country
by Juno IS.
"Of course, we are embarrassed some
what with certain clnsses of toys, but
for tho most part toy Importers are heav
ily stocked now with goods they ordered
In anticipation of Just BUch an cmbnrgo."
Tho factory which Mr. Schwarz referred
to Is that ot A. Schocnhut & Co., Scpvlvn
unci Adams streets, manufacturers of
wooden dolls nnd toys. Ho said that this
factory did tho largest export business
In the United States, shipping most of
us toys into Ucrlln.
The class of toys which Germany ships
to the United States, ho explained, aro
there which are made by hand. "Tho
Oerman toymaker," Mr, Schwarz said,
"doesn't cat meat ns often as his co
workman In tho United States. Ho doesn't
go to tho moving pictures ns often, and
he doesn't set tho waires bv n third
Consequently, dcsnlte a 35 nor cent, ilntv
on Gcrmnn toys, wo nro ablo to Import ',
iiicm cneaper man nicy can too manu
factured hero."
It Is pointed out, however, that, despite
tho cheapness of Gcrmnn toys, the toys
manufactured In tho United States aro
far superior In point of excellence nnd
workmnnshlp. Only tho best grado of
wuuu, nninis nnu mcciinnlsm nro used in
tho manufacture of American toys. For
instnncc. the snrlncs In n tnv miimnd
train made In Germany nre of tin nnd
Inst but a short time, whllo tho springs
made In the United States for the same
purposo ore of frtcel wlro and -will stand
tho hnrdest kind of usngo at tho hands
of the child.
Another point that is mado In favor of
the American-made toys Is Hint they are
Instructive na well as useful to the aver
age child who la given an opportunity
to display any mechanical gonlus,
Tho Slllton Bradley Company, f
Sprlngflcld. Mass., which hns a branch
olllco nt 1200 Arch street. In n. .i..
largest manufacturers of toy picture
"i-ui-.u, uuiiiiuis -ana paints, nnd Its prod
ucts nro known throughout tho world.
Few German companies can compete with
their products, it Is said.
"No, I don't think thero need be nny
causo for alarm," said Mr. Schwarz
"Wo havo plenty of toys on hand, ex
pect more between now and Christmas
nnd, besides, our American manufactur
ers really make the kind of toys that the
youngsters like most."

in social work connected with the College
Settlement House, nt 433 Christian street,
and Is In charge or cnnlKiey nan. i-rann-ford,
the summer homo of the settle
ment. It Is Mrs. Graham's conviction
that work nnd Interest In others form tho
only road to contentment.
"My work at Chalkley Hall has taugnt
me that more than any other experience
of my life," said Mrs. Graham. "Chalk
ley Hall Is nn education In Itself. I And
that I must meet and BOlve problems
on tho spur of the. moment, nnd It Is a
ta on mv InKenulty. I assure you. Wo
have a largo household, and to keep
things running smootllly requires thai
'uncooslng watchfulness that we hear
about.
"This house, tho old Wctherlll home
stead, Is given to the settlement for uso
during tho summer, nnd without doubt,
It Is used! Wo have transients and resi
dents, sent out here from South Phila
delphia to get a breath of God's air nnd
sunshine here In the country. The ob
ject bf Chalktcy Hall Is to give our
friends the benefit of nn outing In tho
country nnd to help them, ns much nn
possible, to enjoy their stny with us.
Each one ddes his or her shnro of tho
work, and we aim nt expressing nnd
practicing principles of unselfishness nnd
generosity. I nm happy to say that wo
are very successful.
MANY "WEEK-ENDEnS."
"Our transients nro week-enders and
one-day visitors, who enjoy tho days out
hero on tho tennis courts nnd on tho
baseball diamond and on tho river. Tho
river trips nro especially popular. Six
or seven rowboats go out, well loaded
with plcasuro seekers, somo bound for
tho bathing benches, others Just to enjoy
tho ride on tho wnter. For those who
do not bring their own bathing suits wo
manage to scrapo up some to lit from our
supply here, given us by philanthropic
friends of tho settlement. Wnlton's bnth-

their lunch "good strong tea" Is an at
tractive nnd necessary Hem.
"The boys come on Friday nnd receive
tho samo courtesy ns do tho girls and
women. Their numbers, IS or 20 as a rule,
testify to the popularity of tho excursion.
Their main deslro la to get Into tho river,
nnd after that tho lunch tastes all tho

their return from the river, 'Aro you

responded tho other. 'I wouldn't miss

HUMANITY AND IT SMARMS
"This work haa brought mo Into closer
relation with humanity, Its neens nna
vagaries, and Its gratitude, thnn havo nny
of my former visits as a minister's wife.
It Is tho sort of thing that makes one
seo human naturo In Its goodness and
Its badness, and gives ono a clearer con
rnnilnn of tho Creator's vast design In
making tho Inhabitants of our planot as
He has made thcm.
"The contact with so many dirrorcn'
lvni In lirnnilenlnc. nnd the potty nnnoy-
ancea that used to seem so trying aro
less troublcsomo to m ovcry day. I feel
moro light-hearted with each succeeding
week, nnd It Is largely a consequent
result merely of tho plensuro nnd bene
fit our pcoplo get from their stny hero.
"Their ready response to affection Is
most gratifying, nnd theso old halls ring
to tho tlmo-honorcd song,
"DEAIt OLD CHALKLEY HALL."
"Oh, that denr old CtinlMcy Hall,
Yes. that dear old Chalkley Hall,
That ilfnr old Chalkley Hnli we lovo so well;
Airy windows knew no panes,
Ancient roofs Jet. In the rains,
That dear oM Chalkley Hall wo lovo so well.
'Oh. thoso dnrllng tlttlo kids,
Yea, thoso darling Utile Kids, .
Thono darling llttlo kids we lovo ao well;
rney aro wnpnod nnu tnev nro iea,
Then they're hurried off to bed,
Thoso darling llttlo kids we lovo so well,
"They sing It ns If they mean 'It, and
I bellevo thoy do.
"Settlement work Is a great undertak
ing, n broad field; and though much of
tho work is uphill nnd rocky, thero nro
many smooth places, In tho evidences of
benefit derived and good accomplished,
that mako up for the trials and troubles
that wo necessarily have. I havo found
grtnt solace, after n heavy sorrow nnd
loss, in this work, and bcllovo that It Is
my salvation."

stars to Mercantile Hall to Investigate
tho' possibilities of employment. Appli
cants for engagements ns chorus girls
ranged from men out of employment to
16-ycar-old girls and women of 60, com
ing from all walks of life.
Tho soliciting of chorus folk !i being
undertaken by tho Northern Producing
Compnny, which is preparing, to. open a
circuit of dramatic "bits" for tho coming
season In New Jersey. Tho circuit will
cover Wllllamstown, Pennsgrovo, Salem,
Woodstown and Swcdcsboro, and a min
strel troupe of "chorus ladles" Is now
being organized to put across a perform
ance that will meet tho tastes of theso
towns. Other "bits" will bo organized
with chori)se3 of from 10 to 20 persons for
the circuit.
Tho talent which appeared at the pres
ent recru)ling station was vnrled. Among
the first to respond wns n Hungarian
scrubwoman of somo B0 years. Harold
Kaufman, dramatic manager of tho com
pany, took her in hand after appraising
the heroic proportions of tho applicant.
"Sure I want to go on tho stage." she
said. "I got experience, too, I could
sing In grand opera over In Vienna. Do
you bellove that? Sure, I mado lots of
money too. And I lost $125 In the movies,
too, in an alrdomo I run In back of my
place. My husband Is a blacksmith. I
guess I could sing, you bet, and I could
pick up the danco steps easy."
Sho was Informed that If' her services
were required she would be notified
through tho malls. Tho next applicant
wns a man, middle aged and nervous.
Joseph A. Murphy, musical director of
tho company, questioned him first.
"You going to be a chorus irlrl. ton?"
"No, but I thought maybe I could get
somo work."
"Cap you slng7 Ever had any experi
ence?" "Yea; I was In tho game 12 years ago,
and I uster be able to get in on the male
quartet stuff."
"How about dancing?"
"Well, I had a bad spell of rheuma
tism, and my left log is pretty atlff, but
I guess I could make out all right"
Next camo two good-looking young
girls, who nnnounped that although they
..-., u oiutjo experience, mey were
suro they would "do fine," as friends
had often told them they had "the volco
and looks to make a hit on the stage."
At present, they said, they aro "sllngin
