"ALWAYS A TIME AND A PLACE
FOR EVERYTHING," SAY THE FRENCH
. Even tKe Shadow of War and Its Horrors Fails to
Dampen the Spirit of the Gay Parisiennes They
Look Chic and Are Cheerful on All Occasions
By ELLEN
Hmunnn la a time nnd a place for
U. everything." 80 goes the old say
ing, but the pity li that few aro given
the adequate comprehension of the situa
tion. One can never really learn tactful
hex; It has to be born In one. And It
l pretty muoh the name with a fine sense
of the fitness of things. If you possess
It, you are really very lucky. If you don't
possess It. then you are Indeed to be pitied
and must Just make the best of a bad
Job!
The average Frenchwoman haa a strong
sense for the fitness of things particular
ly In the matter of clothes. At the present
crisis of affairs the streets of Paris pre
sent a very different scene from that uf
two yeara ago, when gaiety and beauti
fully dressed women abounded every
where and the places of amusement were
all crowded.
Now these selfsamo places are closed,
and the women of Tarls are dressed very
oberly, and not all In the latest mode
either For they clearly see It Is not fit
ting that they should boramuslng them
celvea while their husbands and brothers
are at the front; nor do they wish to
spend much money on dress when the hos
pitals are filled to overflowing with the
poor wounded soldiers and the price of
food has risen so high,
In the Champs Elysees this afternodn
lowly promenaded an Immense crowd of
people. Their gaze was directed skywarj,
for the military aeroplanes wero dartin.T
hither and thither over their heads. The
women In the crowd wero all smart, all
extremely chic, but few were expensively
dressed. Even ladles of rank were clad
with great simplicity. And all this goes
to prove that the Frenchwomen are ex
ceedingly sensible and have a very fine
sense of the fitness of things.
"There Is a time and a place for every
thing," declared one of them to me. "and

m' YACHTS IN GAY PARADE
ttU a 8taff Correspondent
ATLANTIC CITT, Aug. 21. - A few
chilly evenings this week brought out
many outer wraps for women proi'iienad-
era, and the light summery dresses were
but little worn after sundown. Skirts of
flowered cretonne and others of silk In
the old-time Dolly Varden patterns were
frequently seen. A number of the fair
sex wore skirts of dark sense, with
pockets on each side and acquainted
others of that, fact by keeping their hands
In tho pockets during the stroll. A nov
elty of wraps has also made Its appear
ance. It Is a garment built on the same
lines aa the popular sweater, but Is of
knitted soft yarn, with a largo mesh.
They comd fn all the vivid shades of
pink, blue and yellow. Thy are Just
heavy enough for early autumn evenings,
when a little protection Is" needed from
the brcees, and will become popular on
that account.
Better than a yacht race Is the pro
cession of, yachtn from the Inlet which

the bathing- hour, coming so close to
shore that the daring bathers can almost
touch the hulls.
A searchlight, placed on the roof of a
bathing establishment at Virginia avenue,
now sends Ita rays on tho beach and
waves every night. It has helped to
make night bathing safe and even more
popular than It has been before.

It Is not fitting that wo should go around
like, butterflies when our poor nusDano-.
fathers and men are at the terrible war!
I have sold the most beautiful of my cos
tumes and given the money to the hos
pitals, and I work 10 hours a day In tend
ing to the wounded. Oh, It Is nothing! I
am glad to be of some little use, and I
should, Indeed, feel ashamed If I could
not contrlbuto something, however small,
to the great cause."
Another lively little French woman of
mv axniiatntAnm Is conducting an excel
lent work among the widows and orphans
of officers wno navo oeen
killed In the war, She
has arranged for these
ladles to dress dolls, and
these dolls are being sold
at various exhibitions
The needlework Is ex
quisite, and the cause a
very excellent one. For
these poor ladles are. In
deed, left very badly off.
"It Is as hard for those left behind,"
declared the little woman, with tears In
her cyea, "and I would do anything to
help my poor countrywomen In their
time of trouble."
It waa a very fine sense of the fitness
of things which prompted the women of
America to come forward as they did and
work for the poor Uclglans In their ter
rible time of trouble That time of trou
ble Is not yet over! I have talked with
many Belgians In Paris nnd all over the '
country who have expressed their delight
nnd gratification at the good works of the
American women.
"We are. Indeed, very grateful," they
have all nssured me, "and please convey
to the women of America our senso of
thankfulness that there are such kind
peoplu In the world! With homes laid
waste and 110 food to cat, the ships which
the Americans have sent were most
thankfully received nnd It Is kindnesses
such-as these which live for always!"
BEEBER WILL VOTE
FOR MRS. WILSON,
THO' SHE IS MOTHER
Former Judge Supports Her
Candidacy for Principal
ship of New High
School
MAYBE SUPERINTENDENT
The fact that Mrs. l.ucy L. W. Wilson
Is a mother will not deter Dlmner Beeber,
member of tho Board of Education, from
voting for her appointment to tho prln
clpalshlp of the new South Philadelphia
High School.
Mr. Beeber, former Judge of tho Su
perior Court and now president of the
Commonwealth Trust Company, Is the
leader of the "progressive" faction of the
School Board. He voted for Doctor Wil
son w hen on a previous occasion she was
a candidate for the prlnclpalshlp of the
school, and when she received the same
number of votes that Dr. William F.
Gray received
When the High Schools Committee
meets natn to choose the head of the
school Mr. Beeber will vote for Mrs. Wil
son In spite of the objection to her be
cause she Is married and has a family.
"When a woman has been teaching
school for many years and has proved
her ability by results, I see no reason
why she should be deprived of promo
tion merely because she Is u mother.
It Is difficult to formulate a general rule
governing tho employment of married
women, but In Doctor Wilson's caso her
private life should not be considered."
Doctor Wilson has been mentioned as
a possible successor to the late Dr. Will
iam C. Jacobs n the suporlntendency,
but Mr. Ilcchcr would not commit him
self on that question. He was asked
whether he favored the election of a
woman to that office.
"If I vote for a man," he said, "It
will not be because he Is a man, or for
a woman because she Is a woman. Sex
ahould not enter Into the question. Com
petence should be the only consider
"""" .

NO CORN CAKES FOR EUROPE
Efforts to Educate Foreigners to Eat
Corn Meal Products Prove Useless
Nlnety-flve per cent, of all the corn
produced In the United States Is con
sumed In the United States.
This Is explained by the fact that the
people of Europe are not, as a rule, lovers
of corn aa a human food, and very little
corn Is now being used for that purpose
by the Europeans, except that in South
ern Europe, particularly Italy and the
Balkan region, corn Is well known and
nas oeen a staple food for a long time.
It forms a very common dish, "po
lenta," of Italy, and Is used in other
ways. It I also In dally use In Ilumanla
nnd Servla.
The Department of Agriculture and
private manufacturers have made numer
ous attempt to educate the foreign coun
tries In the use of yellow corn with a
proportion of wheat, but with little suc
cess. In Belgium and In certain portions of
France, however, they wero for a time
successful, and the bread made In those
countries by a mixture of corn and wheat
flour obtained considerable renown and
became known as "Murphy Bread," so
called after the name of Mr, Murphy,
who wa Introducing the corn flour.

MUST DELAY START
ON LIBRARY WORK
Lack of Councils' Authorization (
Prohibits Breaking Ground
Sept. 16, Says Ryan
Luck of authorization by Councils will
prevent the breaking of ground Septem
ber M for the erection of the ttOOO.WO I
Central Free Library, on the Parkway at !
19th nnd Vine streets.
City Solicitor Ilyan has notified Henry
n. Edmunds, president of the library
trustees, by letter, that even though the
appropriation for the library has been
made In sufficient amount to start the
work, the nec"esary specific legislation
directing the erection of tho building
haa not been passed. Consequently, the
plan of the trustee" for formal ceremonies
tnnrkim- ihn breaking of around Sep
tember 16 will have to be postponed.
Councils do not reconvene until Septem
ber 20.
Mr. Hvnn also Informed Mr. Edmunds
thai estimates of cost of erection of the
entire structure must be prepared under 1
supervision or uircctor uookc, 01 mo

by the Bullitt bt 1. In order that the or
dinance nuthorlrlng tho start of the work

It Is further pointed out by Mr. Ilyan
that contracts for the library work
must bo let by tho Mnor Instead of by
the library trustees, aa the appropria
tions for the library nro mnde to the
Mayor's department. A contract with
an nrchltect may be drawn by tho
Mayor, as the selection of nn nrchltect
is not competitive, but It Is left to tho
discretion of the trustees

MILITARY FUNERAL IN PARIS
LONG JOURNEY OF A SOLDIER VHO
LONGED FOR BONNIE SCOTLAND
Heart-rending Death and Funeral of Seaforth High
lander in France Told by Woman Another
Episode of War, Stripped of Heroics
By ELLEN ADAIR
Staff Correipondtnt
VEnSAIM.ES, France, Aug. 21.
HE LAY there In the British military
hospital at Versailles, nnd he was
dyln-f. His ta'k was all of home, and of
his wlfo and children. "Tell me," ho
murmured feverishly, clutching my hand
tight, "do you know tho glens nnd hills
of Inverary?"
"Yes," I answered, "and they are Just
as beautiful as they used to be before
you went oft to tho war. You'll soon be
back there, won't ou7"
Tho dlng soldier shook his head. "I'm
going on a longer Journey," he said, "hut
heaven Itself can be no bonnier than my
own hills and glens. You mind the way
the sun sets behind the harbor? And
then tho sky gets kind of red nnd the
lido goes out-tonlght I'm going out with
tho tide!"
There waH a pause. He lay back on
his pillows and coughed, for a bullet was
lodged In tho lung. Just beside tho heart.
"I'm tired," he wild. "I'll be glad of tho
long, long sleep that's coming to me."
Another pause. "When you go back to
Scotland," ho murmured, "will you tell
the wife and the children I'm aye think
ing of them and the green hills of In
verary?" That night ho passed away, and on tho
morrow was his funeral. The sun waa
shining nnd the dew was still on the
grass when the cortege passeu mrougn tne
wn nl .
In a corner of the cemetery, amid n
row of little wooden crosses, there waa
nn open grave. Tho procession halted, antf
tho chaplain rend the service:
"Who nro theso which are arrayed In
white robes, and whence came thoy7
"These arc they which came out of
great tribulation, nnd have washed their
robes and made them white In the blood
of the Lamb. Therefore are they before
tho throne of Clod, and serve Him day and
night In His Temple; and He that sltteth
on the throne shall dwell nmong them." '
The burial rites were finished. "Dust to
dust, ashes to ashes. In sure and certain
hope of the resurrection to Eternal Life.'"
"There Is & green hill far away
Without a city wall"
jV soldier broke down and sobbed bit
terly. I knew that he was thinking of the
green hills of Scotland and of the woman's
voice that called him from the distant
north.
Thero waa a hush around that new
mado grave. And then the officer In com
mand straightened himself, tho order to
COAT ececta, both bolero
and Eton styles, will con
tinue their popularity through
out tho early autumn months.
Most of the trotteurs shown
by tho best designers are
modifications of this mode, or
plain basque Jackets, with
wide, boucant skirts. Gab
ardine, poplins, fine serge and
whipcords nro the most popu
lar materials. These are
trimmed In various ways,
plaid silks being a most con
spicuous feature. Many of tho
newer stylea have an entire
bodice of silk, with straps of
the heavier fabric over tho
shoulders. '
The young miss who la pre
paring her college wardrobe
will do well to consider this
little frock aa a serviceable
and practical street costume.
Tho llnea aro extremely plain
quite suitable for the girl
of 19, The beaded trimmings
add a touch of formality, so
that tho gown might be worn
to ineairo and afternoon occa
sions In the early fall.
The bodice has a basque
line, with a dainty vest of
fine organdie, outlined with
small self-covered buttons.
The long sleeves of tho blouse
are aet-ln, with a slight ten
dency toward tho leg-of-mutton
style, caught In by a
tlghtly-lttlng cuff of gabar
dine. The double belt, buckle
trimmed, Is placed at the
normal waist lino In front,
with a reversion to the Prin
cess line In the back quite a
unique arrangement,
A alight peasant apron Is
seen at the front of the klrt.
and small beaded pockets of
satin give a decidedly novel
effect. The boufflant line at
the bottom of the skirt is
aupplled by mean of a smart
set of scalloped hema of gab-

Mlllla drew up her fishlns : lino and fixed
the bait mora firmly on tho hook.
"Tuesday. I think."
"What doea sho look like? m
"Heaven only knowst I don t.
"Pretty?"
"Don't .know!"
"And Oo on."
tt.M. M.t

ap-
provlngly. "That's right, Bobble.

and you but up our nice little combine
the minute you get rt peep nt nor. She
sighed. "I really wouldn't bo surprised.
"Don't you bellovo It, Millie. I don t
have much use for tjils love business.
Friendship like ours Is good enough for
me. YoU'ro the beat old pal In tho world
nnd-Sh-h-h-I've got a bite."
A few llttlo Jerks at Bob's line, then
a pull, and he raised hla rod. A fine
glistening bnsa was deftly landed, tossed
Into the basket nnd his hook rebalted.
Then he cast again, nnd both sat silently
waiting.
"Harmon Is coming home a week from
tomorrow," Millie broke In, finally, "and
no's bringing hla room-mato to spend two
or three weeks. He lives out West some
where." Bob looked up quickly. "Yes, and I'll
bet when soma young college dudo comes
to town every girl In tho whole blooming
burg will think he's Just too sweet for
anything, and I can come fishing alone
then."
"Itobcrt Brandon! You are mean to say
a thin? like that. As thought I were
any more likely to doa silly thing thnn
ycu. You know I hato men. I menn all
except Harmon and you," quickly. And
Millie landed a bass Into the basket.
Tho shadows were getting long when
they wound up their lines and wandered
slowly home, glorying In tho rlchncis of
early summer.
Millie felt like a bird out of a cage
now that school was closed, and Bob
gloried In these Saturday afternoon holi
days away from the office. Sometimes
they walked miles 'into tho country, oc
casionally they drove, and somo djys,
when It was not too sunny, they wont
fishing.
The beauty of It all was their perfect
understanding of each other. They were
very good friends nothing more.
A week later, on Saturday morning,
Millie was taking a cake out of the oven
when tho telephone rang.
"Hellot Is that you, Bob? Surol Oh,
that's all right. I don't want to go very
much, anyway. I was Just going to call
you up! Oh, Just too busy! No; no other
reason. That's all right, Bobble. Yes, 1
know you can't help it. Understand? Of
course I do. Next week? Why, yes; as
far as I know now. Qood-by!"
She stood a moment studying the pat
tern of tho hall carpet, then slowly re
traced her steps to the kitchen. In seven
days a few things had happened.
Marjorle's guest was pretty, very. And
Bob had noticed It. Sho played tennis
and golf well, which Millie did not, and
Bob had noticed that. And she did al
most a thousand and one things as well,
Including dressing, all of which Bob had
seemed to notice, that Plato, seemed. In
a fair way, to turn over in his ancient
grave.
So while Bob played golf with Mar
jorle's friend, Mllllo Iced the cake and
fixed up the guest room for Harmon's
chum, who was expected on the morrow
with her brother. And when that war
all done she dressed and took a walk
Mary Jane's Fish
"17
WANT to go along, father! Please
want to go along!" cried Mary
Jane, as she danced gaily Into the room
where her father was packing his fish
ing kit.
"You want to go Ashing?" exclaimed
father In surprise. "You wouldn't like
Ashing one bit. Fishermen have to keep
very still, ve. y still without a bit of talk.
And they have to stay and stay, even
when the fish don't bite. You had better
play here at homfe; such a lively girl as
you are will never be a ftsherwoman.
I know that!"
"But, father, you might try me," beg-
Dear me, but it teas heavy!

ana i want so mucn to catch a nshl
Father really, down In the bottom of
his heart, wanted to take his little girl
with him on the day's outing, so he was
easily persuaded to call mother Into con
sultation, and In a few minutes pole and
line were being packed for Mary Jane.
Such a happy little girl as she was,
tool She helped pack the lunch, helped
dig the bait, and then proudly trudged
off beside her big father.
When they reached the river where
they were to fish, father baited her line
and then told her where to sit, then left
ner wpue no nxeo. nis own bait and l(ne.
For the first 15 minutes after her line
was droprJed Into the water Mary Jane
sat ao still she hardly breathed. Then
at the end of that time, she drew a long
breatl) and looked around. A little way
up the bank she saw her father lttlng
quite as still' a she wa, his eyes on the
line where It dangled In the river "if
father can (It still longer, I can, too"
