hat learned many new things concern
fKar the bravcty of women. Even where
the more timid are concerned,
they have shown a wonderful
courage, all the greater be

"The Germans did not harm us In any

STOCKINGS STILL THIN.
The ''near-naked" stockings worn by
many wonien on the beach yesterday
gave many short-time visitors the Im
pression that tho Western fashion of
bare-legged bathing had found Its way
here. The new styles of hosiery are
made of sheer material and nre so trans
, parent that unless an observer Is keen
1 and detects the wrinkles near the knee
" no thinks tho fair bathers' limbs are de
void of covering. A few young girls, who
bathe every day during the season, have
discarded stockings altogether, but tho
promised fad for misses and matrons has
been conspicuous by its il)n

l Uluft cameras have been much In

cameras were dally beselged by men and
Women, all wanting to be snapped In
.' their bathing attire. In most cases these
requests were compiled with and then
the obliging photographer was compelled
to go to a lot of expense for the
developing of films and printing of plc

wrong at such a crisis In tha nffalrs
of the nation to Rive way to selfish grief.
I will pull myself together and hide my
sorrow."
It was pathetic to watch her attempts
at setf-rellance. 8he was n helpless little
rrenturo who had never done a thing
I for herself In her life but she was deier-

I as she Informed me later, ''the sights

describable." In the afternoons sho drovo with her
little girl to different French homes and
thera left gifts of clothing and nocessl
tics. "They surfer much, the poor souls,"
she would say, with tears In her pretty
eyes, "and I know that 'ho' would like
roe to spend my time In this way."
When evening came nnd dinner was fin

Although tho ducks and geeso have
not )ot started to migrate to Southern
climes, there has been a great exodus of
humans to various points In Florida
during the Inst few days. Cooks, waiters
and waitresses, knowing thnt tho season
here is an Its last legs, have been
purchasing tickets to that State, going
by steamship routes which, though slow,
aro cheap, hoping to get there early
enough to secure winter position before
the crowd of "help" gets there.

from tho For West Indicate that tho two

anticipated, either In number of visitors
or in the amount of money spent. Other

nre comforted by tho fact that even tho
old-line political committees ndmlt women
have always proved a beneficial force In
public affairs, especially when they are
granted tho ballot.
Tho Jobholders are paying little atten

"That wasn't anything." said Madeline
calmly. "He's In lovo with you now."
"Rut ho told somo of tho other girls
ho thought I was silly to be afraid, and
that's Just ns bad as saying I was a

"You're a perfect little goose." said
Madeline flatly. "He's Senator Potter's

Morning-Glories
What riotous magic bewilders our sight
As Dawn In the grace of her witchery
glows?
Lavender, blue and snowy white,
Purple and scariot and faintest rose.
Wlsardy is It? Or delicate dreams,
Blown from the pages of fairy atorles7
Ah, nol these beauties unfold whero the
beams
Of Dawn touch the buds .of the Morn-Ing-Glorlcs.

G1DE0NBTHE GOBLIN
OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
WHO "PLAY TRUANT'
Chief of Bureau of Compulsory
Education a Peace-loving
Man, but Not So to Minds
of tho "Kiddies"
HIS MANY "ATROCITIES"
"Don't bother 'bout the goblins,"
Th bn)rf nd -Irln now shout:
tint Oldeon'll g-t you,
If you don't natch out.
Henry J. Gideon, chlof of tho Bureau
of Conjpulsory Education, Is a normal
peace-loving man. He doesn't carry
eun or wear a disguise. He talk.
i mild and modorato voice, and the aver.
nge Individual who meets him finds him
to be a likable, gentle-mannered, whftle
souled person. ,
But to tho nvcrago school child he it
the very personification of all that It
severe nnd terrifying In human nature
Ho Is tho man who chases boys and girls
who "bag" school. And It Is believed In
tho world of childhood thnt there Is ho
means to which this Gideon person will
not resort In his efforts to enforce the
law.
To tho average youngster ho la a com.
blnatlon ot n detective and tho cross, old
schoolmaster of tho 10th century tyre.
The majority of Philadelphia's little folk
havo never hnd occasion to meet him
being respectable, law-abiding citizens.
GIDBON'S "WATCHFULNESS."
It Is for that reason that they accept
the distorted, uncomplimentary picture
pnlnted of him by pupils with whom Mr
Gideon la ncccssnrlly -trlct. Tales are
told of how ho lurks In moving-picture
partors waiting to selzo tho first boy
whom he sees buying a ticket. At th
circus, It la said, his superhuman eye ex
tends from the entrance to the point at
tho other end of the tent whero the el.
phiints turn somersaults.
You can't "bag" school, even once, they
say, without tho ubiquitous. Inevitable
Gideon following at your heels. And he
has a hundred whips In his office on
Cherry street nbovo 18th, Ho Is using
them oil tho tlmo On somebody.
If you cry when he gets you ho sneers.
If you laugh, ho growls and swears to
throw you out of the window or perform
some other equally awkward act with
your cringing person. "Gideon never
laufths," tho children whisper. "Ho for
gets thnt he was n boy once, nnd he Is a
Sj-.feat1.1. Ataal lji.lt.l -.A .
ivmuik.-, uviiui, uuiriuie, leniui man."
Witches and their like have no terror
for the modern boy nnd girl. The silly,
unfounded stories that opo hears about
"Jaek the Giant Killer" nnd "The Three
Rears" have no effect, other than that
of entertainment, upon their youthful
minds. It's not the goblins that they fear
-It's Gideon.
GIDEON IN NIGHTMARES.
When they aro conscience-stricken, be
cause of some unlawful act committed
during the day. they dream of Gideon at
night. When they want to describe some
human being, more terrible than ths
policeman, they select Gideon as their
basis of comparison.
But they don't know him as he really
Is. The man who presides over the Bu
reau ot Compulsory Education and Is paid
$1600 a year for his work Is as kindly a
Santa Claus himself. Ho knows the fall
ings of childhood. He once was a truant
himself.
Ho "bagged" school, he says, when In- -stead
of being taken Into a Juvenile court
before a bla.ck-robed Judge he was sum
moned to the woodshed. Remedial meth
ods applied there wero far more violent
mun inose in voguo toaay. Mr. Gideon
inmKS, nowever, that they were far lm
effective apd cites statistics to prove tnjt '
fewer youngstora play truant now than
was tho case a quarter century ago.
Tho new school year begins September
8. Fresh from a long vacation, Mr.
Gideon will begin his work anew. He li
a. kindly and reasonable man, and he
never goea to extremes, but he Is never
too lenient. So Charles and Jennie may
ns well report on time and avoid trouble.
