The speaker told this Interesting little
tale to half a dozen women In one after
noon. In turn, each of these ladles re

in the original to various friends, who
were not so charitably minded as they
might have been. After a few days the
atory had reached most Interesting, If
scarcely veracious, proportions.
It happened that during the course of
that particular week a certain reception
was to be held at the house of one of
the ladles. The woman who had been so
talked about and criticised was to be
among the guests. "But surely she will
not dare to come, after all thoso dreadful
stories one hears!" said one of the gos

hoping that the woman, whose conduct
had been so censured, would turn up.

realized when the much-talked-about
woman marched boldly Into that recep
tion, ami by her side the very man who
had been the object of the discussion.
"Isn't she perfectly brssenT" murmured
one good lady to another. In righteous
Indignation.
"Don't you pity her poor husband?"
whispered a second.
"I shall ask John to speak to her hus
band at the club tomorrow!" said a third.
Hut a regular bomb was dropped Into
the little company when the lady under
discussion kissed her hostess with real
warmth and said In ringing tones, which
carried all the way down that crowded
room: "I have taken the liberty of bring
ing my brother to this little party. He is
In the Navy, you know, and Is paying us
a hurried visit of a few days' duration.
I want to bo with him all tho time, and
so I'm taking him around everywhere I

I shall not see him for at least three

The harm done by gossip is Incalcula
ble. A single word, or even a look, de
rogatory to the good name of any human
being Is much like a stone thrown Into
the untroubled waters of some pool. The
stone causes ever-widening circles which
grow larger and larger and disturb that
calm pool to Its very edges.
Bo with the uncharitable word, the un
kind and unnecessary remark. They do
more damage than Is ever really calcu
culated. It Is so easy, too, to persistently
find the best In people, once tho habit is
cultivated. But It requires determination.
Before the making of
a thoughtless remarK
on the falling of some
other person, we should
ask ourselves three
simple questions, but
ones which penetrate
to the root of the mat
ter, and these are: "Is
It true? Is It necessary?
Is It kind?"
If thete questions can be answered In
the affirmative, we can rest assured that
we are In tho right of the matter, and do
not belong to the great army of unchar
ltablo souls .who damage others by a sin
gle word. .

There are nine cities In the United
States where elementary school teachers
are paid a higher salary than nro those
of Philadelphia, according to a report
made to the Board of Estimate of New
Tork city by Comptroller Prendergast,
who Is advocating revolutionary changes
in the school system of that municipality.
According to thce statistics the ele
mentary teachers of New Tork are the
best paid In the country, receiving $1197
yearly. The list then cites San Francisco
as paying an average salary of 11124 to
the teachers, then Chicago, Boston, St.
Louis, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Newnrk.
Milwaukee and Anally Philadelphia,
where the average salary Is said to be
only (861. Only four cities In the coun
try are cited as paying less than this
amount: they are Washington, Cleve
land, Baltimore and New Orleans, the
average salary of the elementary teacher
In the last named city being only 1635,
according to Comptroller Prendergast.
The recommendations made to the
Board of Estimate affect more than 23,000
teachers and 1,000,000 pupils and eliminate
any Increase In the school budget for the
coming year, which would effect a sav
ing of X4.O00.00O. The extension of the
school year from 40 to 44 weeks Is advo
cated, as Is the lengthening of the school
day from 5 to 6 hours. The plan would
eliminate part-time pupils nd the giving
of extra pay to teachers In vacation
schools.
Comptroller Prendcrgast also recom
mends the extension of tho Gary voca
tional school system to all parts of New
Tork. Ho believes that the lengthening
of the school year will enable children
to complete their elementary education
In seven, Instead of eight, years.

A THOUSAND CHILDREN
LOSE THEIR JOBS HERE
Rather Than Comply With New
Labor Law, Employers
Fire Them
A thousand little bread-winners have
lost their Jobs In this city because of
tho enactment of tho new child labor
law.
This was announced today at a con
ference held In the Colonnade Hotel by
Henry J. Gideon, Chief of the Bureau of
Compulsory .Education. The new law be
comes effective on January 1, and many
Philadelphia employers, anticipating
added restrictions on Juvenile labor, de
cided to engage older persons Instead of
the children.
The conference was called to draft rec
ommendations to the local Board of Edu
cation on methods for the enforcement
of the law. Among those in attendance
were Jacob Llghtner. chief of State em
ployment agencies; Jasper Y, Brlnton,
president of the Pennsylvania Child La
bor Committee; Miss Thco Butcher, head
of the Bureau of Occupotlons for Trained
IV omen; Dr. John P. Garber, Acting Su
perintendent of Schools; Dr. Oliver P.
Common and Louis Nusbaum, associate
superintendents: Millard B. King, of the
P-ieiPe5artment ?.' PubIlc Instruction:
Paul N. Furman. chief statistician of the
n tt ffiV?'".1 of Labor: Mr- GIleon
and H. H. Wheaton, of the State Depart
ment of Public Instruction. "ePa"
h."i,mt,!L of th0 "nrence was
that 19,000 children must be cared for In
the new continuation schools. These
schools are to be established for the bene-
?Ttlf ?u Idre.n. e,nei m the Industries.
Until they attain the age of 16 they will
be obliged to attend these BChools, and
ih!i-emp..oye7 mu8t excuse them from
their duties for eight hours a week for
this purpose.
It was this feature of the law that
caused the discharge of so many chil
dren. An effort to obtain new Jobs for
them will be made by the Bureau of
Compulsory Education.
In this connection It was announced that
the conference had decided to recommend
to the Board of Education the establish
ment of a new division in the bureau, for
iwMPUrpo!e ,ot flndlnB employment for
children who leave the elementary schools.
If the division Is created a special study
will be made of the fitness of each child
laborer for particular vocations. The
healthiest boys, for Instance, will be
guided into occupations requiring the
greatest physical strength. Boys suffering
from diseases of the heort will be kept out
of the messenger service and an attempt
will bo made to find work for them in of
fices or Industries where the duties are not
so exciting.

The barette. which lost prestige about
two or three years ago Is coming Into Its
own again, according to one of the lead
ing city Jewelers today.
This will be hailed with detlght by the
nervous women particularly, who are
nearly distracted by the tiny wisps of
hair which become separated from their
brothers and sisters and fall down over
the back of tho collar in an untidy
fashion.
"A barette may make or mar an other
wise beautiful coiffure and should be se
lected with as much care aa a hat," said
a Philadelphia halr-dresser
"It Is a beautifully shaped head Indeed
that can stand tlto hair slicked back
from the face, drawn up tightly In the
back In a knot, and finished with a
baretto fitting snugly against the head.
"Unfortunately, some women give very
llttlo thought to the size or stylo of a
barette, and In consequence go about
with heads of hair beautifully arranged,
but conspicuous by the ugliness In Bhape
and size of the barette. A baretto Is not a
barette any more than a pair of stockings
Is a pair of stockings; there are sizes and
styles each adapted to a different head
or foot, as the case might be."
The barettes shown In tho shops are
dainty, plain gold' in oval and oblong
shapes for every day wear, and fancy
ones In the same shapes In solid gold
studded with tiny pearls.
Methodist Hospital Carnival
Everything Is gay at tho carnival being
held at Broad and Itltner streets under
the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal
Hospital. The carnival will continue to

remarked, "(or ants don't stay around

"My dear little mate," 7ie cried deUght-

we will meet here again and Mr. Spider

added Tommy persuasively, when he
saw that Mr. Snail still looked disap

"and now I must hunt up something

"Just so," said Tommy, "there's a lot

Stitches in Child's Tongue
Six-year-old Helen Nightingale, Ui
Ettlng street. Is recovering In the Mai?
Drexel Home today after having h
tongue sowed. Six stitches were nece
sary for tho operation. The child fell
and nearly severed her tongue while
playing in a recreation centre at S6th and
Jefferson streets.
that ho had spent exploring the garden
and making friends with the garden folk,
Mrs. Tommy had been working hard at
their home) Sho had widened It and had
gnawed out a passage clear through the
log and out at the other end! Just what
Tommy had wanted when they first
moved Int She had been so careful with
her work that Tommy didn't even bus.
pect what she was doing all the days till
now when It was all done and displayed
to htm.
"My dear little mate," he cried de
lightedly. "Never was there such an In
dustrious Tittle-mouse In this world)
And you have gnawed the walls so beau
tifully! And shaped the entrance so
safely) Dear mate! I am very proud
of you!"
But all the time Tommy was praising
her, Mrs. Tommy stood there shaking
she wasn't one bit happy, as she had ex.
pected to be. And Tommy, for the life oj
him, couldn't understand what she was
nfrald of till she whispered desperately:
"There! Look, Tommy! See that bit ot
dust?" And Tommy looked nnd sura
enough! There In tho spick-span cleaiv
doorway was a bit of sawdust that
Tommy knew perfectly well had not been .
there a minute before! y
