Young Dream
By ELLEN
IrnHKnE are noma people who have a
J. curious rasalon for falling out, una who
sever aeem to bo nappy unless tney are
embroiled In some mors or less unpleas-
ant quarrel, it isn't
that they are really Ill
natured or that they
bear a grudge against
any one, but merely
that they have a love
for disputes nnd an In
ability to keep from
their pet pastime.
Lovers' quarrels, of
course, are as old as
the hills. It does seem strange that lovers

NlJttle Angelina can get on tjulte well

without cither quarrels or sulks, and be

'foolishness as quarrels.
So she speaks and so she thinks. As

IT IS ENJOYABLE
One's "In-Laws" Will Often
ADAIR
Edwin, like most men, has few but very
decided opinions on such delicate topics
as the dres? and behavior of the fair sex.
Unwisely, again like most men, he ven
tures to lay down the law. Few men can
do this safely, but as a rule a wise girl,
merely smiles tolerantly and goes on as
before.
...
Not so the mistaken maiden who stoops
to argue with a more man on matters out
of his province. She becomes angry, and
from being angry she goes on to be hasty.
Things are said that hurt and rankle,
and that had Infinitely better be left un
sal. The stupid part Is that all the while
there need have been no anger at all. A
HttU good-humored ridicule would have
settled matters more neatly and expedi
tiously. Some clever but guileful girls have gone
so far as to carry out trio masculine rul
ing so thoroughly that the amazed author
of the behests has heartily wished ho had
never meddled with things beyond his
ken, .and his cure has, therefore, been
complete.
"The falling out of faithful friends re
newal Is of love," savs the proverb. Yes
but It might have been added, explanatory
wise, that It takes tried and faithful
friends to forgive and forget. The experi
ment Is exceedingly dangerous, anyhow.
Proverbs and various foolish sayings
have much to answer for with Inexper
ienced girls. They labor under the de
lusion that faltlngs-out made up with
kisses are part of love's ordinary fare.
So they deliberately look round for some
thing to have a tiff about. Once or twice
the ruse may be suc
cessful. Men are dis
mayed to see unaccus
tomed tears and sulks,
and at once become
duly penitent frequent

familiar now that they merVly breed con

ever again the part of cloud-dlspeller.
sure knowledge that a winter suit must
last for three corisecutlvo seasons, she Is
pretty certain to have the sort of convo
lution in her gray matter that denotes
economic efficiency.
LIFE'S SIIAItP CONTRASTS.
Lots of girls, It is true, who aro self
supporting do not receive $8.63 In thetr
weekly pay envelopes. Some receive less
than half of that amount. In the, words
of Miss Florence Pierce, general secretary
of the league, "they don't live, they mere
ly exist," and the fact that they manage
to exlBt decently, though not In decent
surroundings, Is one of the marvels of
the age.
In addition to the 125,600 that Miss Loney
finds It necessary to spend annually, she
also needs $5000 In order to pay a chape
ron. Being an orphan and having a dis
taste for living with relatives, the girl
has to maintain an establishment of her
own. In order to appease Madame Grun
dy the duenna is as necessary to Mis
Virginia as $1.40 worth of food per week
is necessary to keep life in the working
girl.
As against the $2000 the poor littles rich
girl has to spend for her automobile and
chauffeur and the $1500 she pays out for
horses and other amusements, to say
nothing of the $2500 which goes for sum
mer vacation and traveling, the average
girl In the big city who has nothing but
what she earns spends 60 cents a week
for carfare, the cars being her only
method of locomotion; 17 cents for recre
ation, which will tako her to the movies
three times, If she doesn't buy an Ice
cream soda, and leave 2 cents over for a
postage stamp. When one has to count
tho pennies a postage stamp comest'under
the head of recreation, It not positive ex
travagance. MISS PIERCE'S VIEW.
The application of Miss Loney received
small sympathy from Miss Pierce, whose
dally life consists in seeing the struggles
of thousands' of girls' efforts to make
both ends meet.
"Nobody needs $25,500 to live on," she
said. "What that girl needs Is not more
money, but more education. That's the
best cure for extravagance."
As a matter of fact, Miss Loney Is
spending $2500 for her education, but her
curriculum doesn't Include economics.

Mrs. Frisky shook her head thought

friends was dangerous business, In her
opinion, and she would much prefer that
Frisky stay near home, However, she
was a wise little mate, and made no
special objection when Frisky, after talk
ing a bit more about the stupidity of the
garden, decided to take a short trip of
exploration.
She bade him good-by very cheerfully
and watched him aa he scurried down
the side of the road toward the country
"Maybe it will be good for him to get

Frisky Journeyed along In a very happy
frame of mind. He follpwed the roads
for a short way; then he turned into the

to trip me that wayT" exclaimed Frisky
testily. "How did you get under my

The little creature stopped and replied,
"Oh, please excuse me, but I just came

Frisky looked, and there, sure enough,

THE DAILY STORY
Delinquent David
David Qrcer had no Idea, when "h
rented a small villa In a Long Island
suburb, that he was going to be tied
down to restrictions. Certainly he would
have looked further for his tiny cottage
had he realised the disturbing fact.
David was not fond of gardening and
could not assume an Interest In his pr6p
erty, even If all his neighbors did glower
darkly at him for his lack of concern re
garding the bit of yard In front of his
house.
He knew that he waa the black sheep
In the suburb and that another tenant
was far more desirable than he was.
David did not, however, worry his head
over the shortcomings, nor did he feel
In any way upset over the disgraceful
aspect of his garden, when on every side
of him were exquisite specimens of ar
tistic home gardening. Flowers rioted In
every available foot of the smalt prop
erties In the suburb In which David had
rented a cottago,
"Thornton cottage Is a blot on our vil
lage," wag the general comment among
the suburban home owners, but neither
David nor his old housekeeper did any
thing to remove the blot.
Mrs. McPherson felt that she had
enough to do In looking after David's
socks and cooking him tasty meals and
keeping the Inside of his house tidy with
out bothering about the outside.
It was not until the neighbors talked
of signing a petition for having him
ejected that Drucllla Everet took a hand
In the affairs of David Qrcer.
"It Is a shame," s'he said to her
mother, and thero were red spots In her
lovely cheeks, "that a man should be
put out of his coay little home merely
because he doesn't take care of his gar
den. All people can't be expected to bo
mad about flowers. I won't sign the peti
tion, for one."
"Nor I," coincided Drucilla's mother.
She did not think It necessary to In
form her daughter that admiration of
David Greer's stalwart good looks was In
a measure responsible for her antagonism
toward the neighbors who would evict
him. "He has as much right to his
faults as any of us."
So It waa over the back fenco that
Drucllla told David's housekeeper all
about the suburbanites' Intentions re
garding her master.
"They'll no eject my bonnie laddlel"
expostulated Mrs. McPherson In righteous
Scotch wrath. "He's thnt busy In his
office the day that he's no time to be
pottering about a garden."
"That's Just the way. I feel," said
Drucllla, while Bhe smiled her sweetest
smile Into Mrs. McPherson's motherly
eyes. "I was wondering," she continued
coaxlngly, "whether or not Mr. Greer
would let me plant his front garden for
him. I love flowers so much, nnd our
own space Is very tiny." She waited
breathlessly for her answer.
There was grave doubt In the woman's
eyes, coupled with a desire not to thwart
the charming girl In the sunbonnet.
"He'd no like to have a girl make his
garden for him that I ken," she said
Anally; "but If you could manage with
out him knowing who did It "
Drucllla did not allow her to finish, but
smiled happily.
"That will be lovely! I can get to work
when he leaves tor the office In the
morning, and when he returns! Oh I
will have a perfoct bower of flowers to
greet him."
"Mind you don't let him see you,"
cautioned Mrs. McPherson "He'd be
that nngry with me I'd Bure lose my
place." She well knew that David could
not manage without her, since she had
been with htm since cradle days, but
Bhe considered It well to warn the girl
into secrecy.
Fortune favored Drucllla to a remark
able degree. David Greer was called
away on a short business trip, and while
the cat was away the mouse did certainly
play. The small garden was dug up and
fertilized and planted with blooming
flowers that wero well nourished and
tended before David returned.
Drucllla was standing behind the case
ment curtains of her own tiny cottage
when the delinquent came back to his
native suburb and saw the transforma
tion 'that had been wrought. His eyes
took on a hint of flatrie and his square
cut profile ascended. Drucllla watched
these warlike signs and her heart beat
rapidly. She did not stop to realize that
David would not know who had done the
deed, and that his wrath would not find
vent on her own head.
"Mag," he said as he entered the house
and found Mrs. McPherson awaiting him,
"what person has assumed the right to
put my garden In order? Did you coun
tenance such Impertinence?"
Tho old Scotchwoman had never seen
her master so angry, and Bhe strove to
pacify him In her usual wheedling man
ner, but for once David failed to respond.
When she told him of the threat of evic
tion and the kindly Interference of a
neighbor he was only the more angry.
"I believe I am paying for this prop
erty, Mag, and no one shall dictate to
me whether I have a garden or not. I
will pull every one of those flowers up by
the roots and fling them In the street.
These people will see whether or not I
can run my own affairs." He strode out
of the "house as If he would suit action
to words.
But David Greer was not the kind of
mann to pull up Innocent flowers and de
stroy them, especially when those flow
ers exhaled delicious odors that calmed
his temper. The pansles seemed to be
gazing pleadingly up at him from their
dewy beds and the nasturtiums clamored
Joyfully as if delighted with life over
the fence that divided his garden from the
one next door.
While his wrathful glance traveled with
unwilling admiration along the row of
orange and red blossoms peeped over
the fence David became aware of a most
wonderful lovely head bobbing about
somewhere behind the nasturtiums. Ho
caught a delighted breath. Neighbors
were not so bad, after all. He looked
again and found Drucilla's eyes fixed
more or lets wistfully upon him. Again
David breathed quickly.
"Are you frightfully angry?"
David supposed he was dreaming, but
he answered the sweet voice that had
questioned him.
"I was," he said, "I'm not now,"
Drucllla smiled and David wondered
whether It was the girl's smile or the ad
vent of flowers Into his garden that sud
denly made the world a glorious place to
live In. '
"There Is a most shockingly barren piece
of garden at t)ie back," he told' her, "per
haps you would like to doll that up as
well. We could cut a gate through the
fence and you could put some of those
pink rose over the arch."
"Oh, I should love that," laughed Dru
cllla. Inside Thorntnon cottage Mrs. McPher
son smiled knowingly.
"I'll be cooking for two before the roses
bloom," was her Inward comment.
Outside Drucllla and David continued
to dlsauss the gates that were to mako
two gardens one.

Strictly Reliable Furs
Prices Extremely Moderate
Puns have assumed a
most Important part In
-the fashionable woman's
wardrobe all during the
summer, so It Is easy to
predict and tt is always
easy to predict, anyhow
that thay will be even more
Important during the win
ter. The cool weather has
come to stay, and It Isn't
at all odd to behold fur
scarfs of fox or lynx
worn on the street with a
serge one-piece frock. One
feels the need for some
thing warm, even If one'
Is fashionably attired, and
It Is many a long season
since fashion's devotees
have had the chance to be
comfortable nnd look well
at the same time.
Black plush Is very pop
ular this season, and,
trimmed with white fox,
promises to be decidedly
smart for the dansant or
for theatre wear. Another
very smart fur novelty Is
the Parisian carcole. In
troduced by Malllen, of
Paris. He Is one of the
most successful designers
nnd has Introduced the
vogue for ankle-length gar
ments. The very smart fur coat
this season la belted. The
very Bhort models which
were so much favored last
season have been replaced
my three-quarters lengths
nnd short Eton jackets.
These, by the way, have
made an Immediate success
over here.
Today's Illustration shows
a loose, full coat, with a
shawl collar and rather
loose sleeves. This last an
adaptation of the bell
sleeves which are so fash
ionable on gowns. The
waistline Is slightly defined
by means of the braided
belt, which begins half way
around the side an,d fastens
at the front of the coat.
The front of the collar
Is reversible; it may bo
fastened close fo the throat
or left open, like the col
lars seen on tTie tailored
suits this winter. Many of
the new fur coats have
smart collars, cuffs nnd
belt of a contrasting fur,
or touches of velvet. Tho
effect Is decidedly new.
Shoe Fashions w
The Inside laced boot has
certainly gained a victory
over the back lace. One
sees every well-gowned
woman wearing them. The
truth Is that the back lace
boots are very hard to
make fit In ready-made
shoes and not nearly as
easy to lace and fit as the
Inside lace. Satin ones
are promised for some
elaborate frocks, but those
of soft whlto kid are deli
cate enough to be worn
with almost any gown. The
careless way that some of
them are laced is a pity,
for It makes the ankles
look heavy to see kid
wrinkling about them.
Low shoes ore very sllp-per-Uke
In shape.
MARS THEORY GETS JOLT
Dr. J. A. Brashear Doubts Existence
of Life on Planet
The theory that Mars Is Inhabited by
folks very much like ourselves recehed
another setback at tho hands of Dr. John
A. Brashear, "the eminent Pittsburgh as
tronomer, named by Governor Brumbaugh
as one of the three most distinguished
Pcnnsylvanlans to represent the State at
the Panama-Pacific Exposition, at San
Francisco. Doctor Brashear spoke before
the Engineers' Club, 1317 Spruce street
He was the guest of the Philadelphia
Association of Members of the American
Society of Civil Engineers, which held Its
annual meeting last night.
Doctor Brashear said that If there waa
life on Mars it existed only at the equa
torial regions. The atmosphere on that
planet, he said, waa rarer than at the
top of tho Himalayas, where no life ex
isted. The1 canals, so called, he said, were
a sourco of mystery. No one knows what
they really are. Doctor Brashear Is a
believer In the popularizing of the science
to which he has devoted his life, and he
believes that It would be advisable for
every city to have a free observatqry,
just as It has free libraries.

This woman Is Mrs. George I.ong. To
hundreds upon hundreds of Phltadel

Christianity Inspired him to found the
Inasmuch Mission. To hundreds of down-and-outera,

"One sturdy little hegro stood up one
day and said. 'The thing I did today for
Jesus was to help an old man keep his
