' you will doubtless ngreo with mo (that is, thoso of you Who nav the ballet o "Orlando" lnt year any" heanl the weird nntl catcMlliB Jig to which Mrs. I'ranols V. Lloyd tripped Kayly on tlio Bingo whenever alio heard It start), when you hear the Junior Lcnsuo will clvo an other entertainment In February. You know what tho Junior Lcnsuo is, don't you? .Well, In case you do not, I'm BpltiB to say a hit about it, bemuse it strikes mo as rather a good thine, so to speak. Time was when you mine out in society you wero expected to remain in tho butterfly stage for several years, and as to putting tho hand to nnv thing so lious, well, It was pretty dnneeroiis, for you might get the reputation of being serious-minded, and that was nwtiil and innde you u wall llowcr for sure cvi-u in your first year. Well, tho Junior Loaguo has been started by a number of girls in tho leading sots of all tho largo cities, and Its object Is no less than to placo tho girls nttcr they have come out In somo social work connected with hospitals, working girls' clubs and all tho many other things which cnnblo them to help thoso not so well placed as themselves. There nro 200 members In Philadelphia and they have their headquarters nt tho Civic Club, 1300 Kpruco street. Tho pres ident this year is Gertrude Kly, and Elea nor Hopkins Is vice president. Harriot Frnzlcr Is secretary, Hoso Dolan is assist ant secretary and Eugenia Casaatt Is treasurer. They give an annual enter tn lament for charity, and, better thnn tho giving only, they wrlto It, paint their own scenery, compose their own music and dances and design their own costumes. The entertainment, is for somo charity al ways; last year It was given for tho Emergency Aid, and this year's produc tion will benefit tho Visiting Nurso So ciety and l'Appul aus Artistes. NOW, then, let's hear something about this pantomime. It Is to ho qallcd "An Evening In Ilococo," and It will be given In tho ballroom of tho Eollovuo Stratford on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, February 11 and IS. Tho sccno Is laid In the frivolous, care free Venice of the eighteenth century, with Its masked ladles and cavaliers of tho cloak and sword. For one evening at least tho young women of Philadelphia will forget their Quaker forbears and, in hoops and patches, will danco to tho carnival as gayly as tho pretty, auda cious, iulto tin-Qunkcrish ladles of pleasure-loving Venice. Tho play Itself is to bo preceded by an old-time harlequinade, which will bring to llfo again all tho fa mous characters from Columbine to Scar amouch and Punchinello. Among thoso who will tnko part this year are Mrs. Francis V. Lloyd, Mrs. O. II. Perry Pepper, Eleanor Butler, Emily Fox, Mary Frances Fisher, Mrs. Tom Heath, Jr., Alva Sergeant. Mary Mitchell, Valentino Mitchell, Mrs. Ted Paul, Anna Ingersoll, Mrs. .loo duDarry, Cornelia Loidy. Mrs. Orvillo Bullitt, Jean Thomp son, Sylvia names, Frances Scott, Mnr garotta Myors and Sarah Xollson. There will bo about fifty members of tho league altogether. Tho committee In charge of tho enter tainment Includes Kntharlno Clmmbcra, chairman: Eleanor Pepper, treasurer; Harriot Krnzlor. fiertrudo Ely. Marian Taylor. Mrs. Arthur E. N'owbold, Jr.. Mrs. Francis A. Lewis, 3d, Eugenia Cassatt, Charlotto Hush. Molly Thayer. Aimeo Hutchinson and MaryFrances Fisher. WELL. If I ever in my life havo scon anything no horribly morbid as tho first play given by tho Plays and Players last night t don't romombor it, and at tho same timo, either on or off tho Htnge, I've seldom seen as good nn actress as Mrs. Earing. She was a wonder! As to "Suppressed noshes." of course, to appre ciate it highly, nno must havo read somo of Frond's psycho-analytical works. It wnH one scroani, liellovo mo, nud tho nctresses jnul actors woro great. Of course, tho playroom was packed with members and their friends, and thero was great applause. I predict a second crowd tonight. NANCT WYNNE.

Farmer Smith's Column, WHBN TO STOP n..f ciittilrnn t think It was An drew Carnegie who said. "It Is a wise man who knows wlut to stop. Onco upon a tlmo thero wns a little pigeon which was born In a cage. Uy nnd by tho pigeon grew up and tho owner of tho littlo feathery thing wished to see If It could tly. One day tlio pigeon wna let loose from the cago and soared 'round and 'round, re joicing in Its freedom. It mndo huge circles In tho air. No doubt It was glad to bo outsldo thoso cruel bars out in the Bunslilno and pure air. It circled higher ami higher. Finally the owner of the pigeon saw that tho clrrles wero growing smaller and smaller, until finally tlio bird t a downward course, the circles nlras getting smaller nnd smallor. until nt length the pigeon dashed iiuntr ,.iiut iim iiwner'H lirenst and felt exhausted. It knew how to tly. In It DID NOT KNOW HOW TO STiir. I may say. In gonernl. that If a. thing or nn act becomes a burden to you. then it Is tlmo to stop. If you llnil that you nro doing something outsldo of your lessons or your dally work which seems to occupy too much of your ANXIOUS thought, then It Is becoming a burden and it Is TIME TO STOP. It may tako as much timo nnd as much courogo to STOP as It does to begin, but DO WHAT YOU KNOW IS U1GIIT. The burdens hurt you. not somebody else. Lovingly. FAItMEU SMITH. Children's Editor. MR. BEAR'S RECOMMENDATION By Farmer Smith "Daddy, that story about tho Jay Illril you told mo last night nlmost mndo mo cry." said Nannie Coat to her father ono "Ah, my dear! I am Indeed getting to bo a story teller when I malso you nlmost cry." Nannio was quiet for a whllo and then said. "Tell me somo moro about tho wood- "Vo often like to hear about tho things we know tho least about." ventured Hilly, as ho turned out tho light. "Would you like to hear what Mister Hear told Mister Jay IJIrd?" "Oh. goodie !" exclaimed Nannie, ns sho snuggled down In her pillow. "Well," began Hilly, "it wns tho next day bororo Mister Jay lllrd happened to meet Mister Hear, to whom ho said : 'Good morning, Ilrother Hear. I am vory grateful to you for tho advice you gavo mo yes terday.' " 'Advlro? AdvleoT I don't remember over giving any ono advice. It Is against tlio rules of tlio Bruin Tribe to give ndvlco. While It la n rulo of tho Jny lllrd Tribe to mnko mischief. It lias always been a law with us never to give advice.' " 'Suggestion, then." replied Mister Jny nird. 'I thank you for tho suggestion that I try to sing like a Nightingale.' "My dear, that was a IlKCOMMBNDA TION. I did not suggest or ndviso you. I merely recommended that you try to sing like the Nightingale, because I know it would keep you busy and out of mischief. That would benefit all ot us, for, to tell tho truth, we don't know what YOU nro going to do next, nnd tho uncertainty annoys us." " 'Since you are so wise, pray toll mo the difference between the meaning of ndvlsc. suggest nnd recommend.' asked Mister Jay Hlrd. "I can only tell you what tho tradition, or saying, is among the Bruin Trlbo, nnd you may find tho moral yourself, sinco YOi; asked tho question and not n humble Hear llko myself. You should never seek advice that you rannot pay for. A suggestion may often bo bad. but a recommendation Is nl ways good. You can't commend anything that Is bail, nor can you recommend It." "Mister Jay Hlrd was quiet for a long 'time, and then Mister Hear spoke again: 'You may never have noticed It. but thero Is always a happy look on a Hcar's face. No matter what happens to us wo aro al ways smiling, and I think it is because we never try to offer advice, even when asked for It. We do, however, offer recommenda tions.' , , , "I nlways try to ho as glad as I can, but you never seem to look at mo in any other light than as a mischief-maker.' said Mister Jay Hlrd. sorrowfully. "'No matter what you may think." an swered Mister Bear, 'you always are BLUE, for you belong to tha Blue Bird Family, nnd that family is the emblem of happiness. Why not try to bo more llko tha Blue Bird3' " "13 that advice, a suggestion or merely a recommendation?' asked Mister Jay Bird.

At theso words, which some might have thought Insulting, tlarut and Mnrut bowed again as though to acknowledge a great compliment. Then llnrut said: "Let ua leavo tho question of ladles nnd como to matters that havo to do with men. You nro hero as wo told you that you would be nt a timo when you did not hellevo us. anil wo nro hero to meet you, as wo told you that wo would bo.

"Ono rnmel cannot carry four men. I answered. cVadlng tlio question. -In courage and In skill you aro moro thnn many men. O Mncumazana. yct In hodv you aro but one and not four." "if you think that I am going with you alone you nro much mistaken. Harut and Marut." I exclaimed. "Hero with mo Is my servant, without whom I do not stir,' and I pointed to Hans, whom they con templated gravely. "Also there Is tho Lord Bngnall who in this land Is named Igcza, and his servant, who hero is named Benii. tho man out of whom you drow snakes In tho room in Fnglnnd. They also must ac company us." At this news tho Impassive countenances of Harut and Mnrut showed. I thought, somo signs of disturbance. They muttered together in nn unknown tongue. Then lln rut said: "Our secret land li open to you nlone, O Mncumazana. for ono purpose only to kill tho elephant Jana, for which deed we promlso you 0 great reward. Wo do not wish to see the others thero." "Then you can kill your own elephant, Harut nnd Mnrut. for not ono step do I go with you. Why should I when thero Is as much tvory hero as 1 want, to bo had for tho shooting?" "How if wo tako you. O Mueumazana?' "How if I kill you both, O Harut nnd Marut?

"Stay, lord," said Harut. "and put down that weapon," for once more I had pro duced tho ptBtol. "We would not begin our fellowship by shedding blood, though wo are safer from you than you think.

Harut and Mnrut, and how am I to be sure that any of us aro snfe, or Hint you do not but trick us to your coun try, tliero to kill us with treachery and steal our goods?" "Because wo swear It by tho oath that may not bo hroltpn : wp swear it by the Heavenly t'blld," both of them exclaimed solumnly. speaking with ono voice and bow ing till their forchends almost touched the ground. I shrugged my shoulders and laughed a little. yon do not believe us." went on Harut, "who have not heard what happens to thoso who break this oath. Como tiitw nnd seo something. Within live puces of your hut Is n tall ant-heap upon which doubt less you havo been accustomed to stand and overlook the desert." (Thin was true, but how did they guess it, I wondered.) "Go I'limli that nnt-henp once more." Perhaps It was rash, but my curiosity led mo to accept thin Invitation. (Jut I went, followed by HanH with a loaded dotiblc barrelod rllle, anil scrambled up tho ant heap, which, as It was twenty feet high and there were no trees just here, commanded II very lino view of tho desert beyond. "Look to tlio north," said Hurut from its foot. I looked and there 1,1 tho bright moon light (ivo or six hundred yards nwny. ranged rank by rank upon a slopo of sand nnd nlong tho crest of the ridgo beyond, I saw qulto two hundred kneeling catnols and by each camel a tall, white-robed flguro who held In his hand n long hi lire to tlio shaft of which. Sint far beneath tho blade, was attached a littlo Hag. For a whllo I stared to mako suro that I was not tho victim of an Illusion or a mirage. Then when 1 bad satlslled myself that theso were indeed men and camclu I descended from tho nnt-henp, "you will admit, O Macumazana," said Harut politely, "Mint If we hnd meant you any 111, with such a forco It would have been easy for us to tako n sleeping camp nt night. But Hipso men como here to ho your escort, nut to kill or enslave: you or yours. And. Mncumazana. wo have sworn to you tho oath that may not bo broken. Now wo go to our people. In tho morning, after you havo eaten, wo will roturu again unarmed nnd alone." Then llko shadows they slipped away. CIIAl'TKIt IX L'tinrRe! TRN minutes later tho truth wns known and every man in tho camp was up and armed. At first thero wero somo signs of panic, but theso with tho help of Bnbemba wo managed to control, setting the men to mako tho best preparations for dofenso that circumstances would allow, nnd thus occupy ing their minds. For from tho first we saw that, except for tho threo of us who had horses, escape was impossible. That great camol corps could catch us within n ml to. Leaving old Babemba In charge of his soldiers, wo threo whlto men and Hans held n council nt which 1 repented overy word that had passed between Harut and Marut nnd myself. Including their absolute denial of their having hnd anything to do with the disappearance ot Lady Itagnall on tha Nile. "Now," I asked, "what Is to bo done? My fats ts sealed, since for purposes of their own, of which probably wa know nothing, theso peoplo intond to tako mo with them to their country, ns indeed they nro justified in doing, since I havo been fool enough to keep n kind of assignation with them hero. But they don't want anybody pIro. Therefore thero Is nothing to prevent you, Itagnall, and you, lavage, and you, Hans, from returning with tho Mazltu." "Oh ! Baas," cried Han, who could under stand English well enough, although he sel dom spoko it, "why aro you always bother ing 1110 with such praatjes!" tthat Is, chatter). "Whatever you do I will do, nnd 1 don't caro what you do, except for your own salco, Baas. If 1 am going to die, let mo dlo; it doesn't nt nil matter how, since I must go soon and mako report to your reverend father, tlio Predikant. And now. Baas, I havo been awoke all night, for I heard Bioko camels coming a long while bo fore the two spook men appeared, and as I had never heard camels before, could not mako out what they were, for they don't walk like giraffes. So I am going to sleep. Bnaa. thoro In tho sun. When you hae settled things, you can wake me up and givo me your orders," and he suited tho action to tha word, for wljen I glanced at him again lis was, or appeared to be, slum bering, just like a dog at Its master's feet. I looked at Itagnall in Interrogation. "I am going on," he said briefly. "Despite the denial ot theso men of nny complicity In your wife's fate? I asked. "If their words are true, what havo you to gain by this Journey. Ilagnall?" "An interesting wtperlenea while It lasts j HAPPENS" m,W Csaumuj. Un.iuuil n i..i.l anauuijut. 1917 that Is nil. Like Ilftns there, If what they say Is true, my future is a matter of com pleto Indifference to me. But I do not be lieve a word of what they say. Something tells me that they know a great deal which they do not rhoose to repeat ;about my wife I mean. That is why they nre so anxious that I should not accompany you." "You must Judge for yourself," I an swered doubtfully, "and t hope to Heaven that you are Judging right. Now. Ravage, what havo you decided? Remember be fore you reply that thpse unennny fellows declare that if wo four go. two of us will never return. It seems Impossible that they can rend the future, still without doubt, they are most uncanny." "Sir," Mild Savage, "I will tako my chance. Before I left F.ngland his lordship made a provision for my old mother and my widowed sister and her children, nnd i Have none other dependent upon me. Moreover, I won't return alone with thoso MRKiiu to become n barbarian, for how could I nnd my way hack lo Hie const without nny one to guide me? no ril go on nnd leave tho rest to Hod." "JVhlcli is Just what wo have all-got to do. I remarked. "Well, as that Is settled, let us send for Ilabpmba and tell him." This wo did accordingly. Tho old fellow received the news with moro resignation than t hnd anticipated. Fixing his one eye upon mp. he said: "Mnrtimnftnnn. these words aro what T oxppcted from you. Had any other man spoken thorn 1 should havo declared thnt he wa quite mad. But I rempmber that I said this wlipn you determined to visit thp Pongo, and that you came back from Iholr country snfe anil sound, having done wonderful things there, and that It Wart the t'ongo who suffered, not you. So I bpllevo It will bo again, bo far as you tire concerned. Mncumazana, for I think somo devil bops with you who looks after bis own. For the others 1 do not know. They must settle thp matter with tholr own devils, or with those of the Kendall people. Now farewell. Macumazana. for .It comes to mp that wo shall inept no morp. Well, (lint happens to all tit last, nnd It Is good to have known you who nro so great In your own way. Often I shall think of you as you will think ot me. nnd hope that In n country beyond that of tlio Kendall I may hear from your Hp3 nil that has befnllen you on this nnd other Journeys. Now I go to withdraw my men before these whlto-robed Arabs como on their strange beasts to sclzo you, lest they should tako us also and thero should be 11 light In which wo. being tho fo'vor. must die. The londn nro all In order, ready to be laden on tholr strnngo beasts. If they declare that tlio horses cannot cross tho desert, leave them loo..'e and we will catcli them and tnko them homo with us. 11 ml, since they nro male and fcinnlp, breed young ones from theni which shall bo yours when you send for them, or tlnusl the king's If you noVer nontl. Nay, I want no morp prcnenls who havo the gun nnd tin- powder and tho bullets you gnvo me, nnd the tusks of ivory for Bans I tho king, and, what Is bpst of all, tho memory of you nnd of your courago and wisdom. Mny theso and tho gods you worship befriend you. From yonder It III wo will watch till wo see that you havo gono. Farewell." nnd. waiting for no nnswer. lie departed with tho tears run ning from Ids solitary eye. Ten minutes later tho Mazltu bearers bad also saluted us and gone, leaving us seated In that desertrd camp surrounded by our baggage, and, so far ns 1 wan con cerned, feeling most lonely. Another ten minutes went by, which wo occupied in packing our personal belongings. Then Hans, who was now washing out the coffee kettlu nt a littlo distance, looked up and said: CONTINUED MONDAY RELIGIOUS KflEVITIES S.
