Or, rather, poor people of Goatvllle! It seemed there never was a minute, day or night, that some one was not talking tbout Billy Bumpus, or that he was not doing something to mako people talk. "Anyway, mother," he was saying to his wife one morning, "they know I am here and they can't forget me so what do I care?" "But won't you tell me, your own dear wife, how you got that rope through the pulley on top of that flagpole?" pleaded Mrs. Bumpus. "Couldn't " Mrs Bumpus went over and put her arms around Billy's neck. "You are the sweetest thing In all this world," she was saying, when Billy answered: "I'm never so sweet as you when you want to know something I know and won't tell. Oh' curiosity is a funny thing. It killed a cat once. A nice kitty, too. It had two little feet In front, two little feet in HJ and a flagpole on tho end." Billy laughed and so did Mrs. Bumpus, "I don't think we laugh half enough In this world," began Billy once more. "I was tnlnklng the other day that I would like to take laughing lessons. I wonder who gives laughing lessons?" "You would get perfect in a few weeks, I am sure." replied Mrs. Bumpus. trying not to laugh She was almost dying to hear what Billy did to get the rope up on top of the flagpole again. She had lain awake one whole night trying to figure out how a Goat could get a rope up like that, ana, furthermore, there was no one In Goatvllle who knew anything about how it was put up there. "I'll give you almost anything you want to eat if you will only tell me Just how Ton did that," teased Mrs. Bumpus. Billy began to sing: "Curiosity curiosity Funny thing It killed a cat Hey, now, mother. Think of that!" " give it up," answered Mrs. Bumpus. as she went out Into the kitchen. "If you Joa't tell mo soon, t will go and see the Wise Old Owl." "Better see the Jay Bird. HE knows ore than any other living thing. Be Ioes, if you keep still long enough, I will tell you all about It myself." "When?'! asked Mrs. Bumpus, coming ck from the kitchen. "When I get through catching Bull Frogs en the dark of the Moon," answered Billy. 1 looked upon you as my hero but now slnot you will not tell me I think you are a coward!" tThanks," replied Billy, meekly. B "ou're welcome," said Mrs, Bumpus. But instead of going Into the kitchen, she went upstairs and put her hat on. She was going straight to the Wise Old Owl, or Mister Jay Bird, and find out who It was who put that rope through the top of ""flagpole maybe Billy did It himself. "hen Mrs. Bumpus came downstairs she was sure Billy would ask her where she as going. , Bhe would not tell him. of course, that would be the way she would get even with im for not telling her that one little """ To her surprise, when she came aown, Billy looked up at her, smiled, ""shed and said, "How sweet you look." This was too much for the .dear lady and she hurried out the door, more anxious an ever to And put Billy's secret, which as becoming moro and more of a mystery rs.

Agony Note: In the week's best photo play, the heroine Is hit on the mouth, shot ln the back, locked up ln her husband's house, attacked by a doctor, upbraided by her flanco and Insulted by his uncle.

He used to take trolley riaes to L,s- Ington, where his second wife uvea wim her four children, tho oldest twenty, the youngest fourteen. She was then a widow, Mrs. Lillian M. Glathern. She accepted South's attentions and mar ried him under the belief that he was a widower. After his marriage he gave up his Philadelphia wife and settled with his new spouse at Esslngton.

Mrs. Osgood, who is now in Bryn Mawr, came to America to assist Mrs. Warren's efforts. 12QL Mrs. Hamilton Osgood, Visitor From London, Tells How English Girls Are Making Good in Sane, Sensible Attire "And, mind you, they don't dress up In i absurd pantalettes to do It. They wear sklrtsr It was Mrs Hamilton Osgood, of London, who was speaking about women farmers In England and some of their emulators ln America who seemed to find it necesjary to work ln trousers. She sat very quietly In the drawing room of Mrs. Otis Skinner's home In Bryn Mawr, looking like a rare old portrait mhen the late afternoon sun filtered through the win dow and lent a glint to the snow-white of her hair. One knew instinctively she would not care for pantalettes And yet this white-haired lady, who looks more like a blessed grandmother of lapfuls of spoiled babies than a foremost worker for the Belgians' cause In England, has ex changed political opinions with Stephen Graham and Lords of Parliament. TWO ACTIVE DAUGHTERS She Is the mother and, ln spite of her age, the Indefatigable helpmate of two women whose names have become Insepara bly associated with Belgian relief work Mrs. Ersklne Chllders, who founded the knitting Industry for disabled Belgian sol diers In England, and Mrs. Flske Warren, of Boston, who Is ln America now making good a pledge that she will send tou pounas of yarn a day to the workers during the duration of the war. Mrs. Osgood worked for two years in London with Mrs. Chllders. It was to Mrs. Chllders that the Mayor of London gave Crosby Hall, the huge, old cathedral like building that was turned Into a work shop for the Chelsea refugees, the maimed Bela-lan men who would never be whole again, but who In spite of disability must be made self-supporting ixow mis wnue haired mother is on this side of the water helping her other daughter collect the thou sands of dollars that are needed for the "one hundred pounds" a day Perhaps It was the long epeaklng tour through the West that made Mrs. Osgood You might term this U a bait yet here it is Ow Mercerized Cotton Poplin Suit $2.98 An ideal summer garment of really good style and J W quality. y open erisxisaa I relax In her chair and look as though she would like to sit In It for a long, long time. She had been describing Crosby Hall, and as she spoke, In spite of the fatigue, she seemed like an emblazoned hit of the spirit she had talked about a spirit that per mltted English women to laugh at the same time they were crying. "There are long stained glsss windows," she had said, "with coat of arms shining like Jewels, and within the old gray wails are broken, maimed Belgians, men laughing, singing, whistling and above it alt Is the hum of the knitting machines, a sort of God-like whirr of hope. ENGLAND'S BLESSED HUM "And this blessed hum, the thing that sets old Crosby athrob, is something .else. It's a dlvlneness of spirit that's making little frail-handed girls groom cart horses and marchionesses wait on table In little res taurants all so that England may give her men "Englishwomen want to give their men,' she said emphatically, "and those who don't wen, we put conscientious objectors on pig farms! They don't like It, but they have to go Just the same. "English women are doing marvelous work on farms, and mind you they don't dress up ln absurd pantalettes to do It They wear ntat khakl skirts. When I was In the West I suggested that khakl uniforms be used in the United States. The point was made that the material Is high. I sug gested blue denim or gingham to take the place of it I thoroughly believe that girls and women should look nice, but I don't think they have to get Into pantalettes to do It. as some of them ln America seem to be doing. "Well-to-do girls who have never soiled their hands before are doing well, almost unbelievable work. "Let me read you the letter of one little girl who. with eight other women. Is man ning the only all-women remount depot In England " Mrs Osgood fished Into a mysterious. In- tertstlng-looking portfolio and drew forth a letter, explaining at the same time that a remount depot Is the stable to which sol diers come to get new mounts. "This morning." she read, "I was groom ing an elghteen-hand-hlgh cart horse, of whose character I knew nothing We get one pound a week here and get ordered V.Il l,k' v"ythlng; no fancy get-ups. either. But we don't care We're Just glad to be serving." i,.M" ,'taa "nttta t the thought of the little girl who was glad.

"One of the very interesting things that my daughter and her committee havo taken up lately Is the week-end rest home 'for the munition workers," Mrs Osgood con tinued "Under this plan they aim to provide n splendid rest for 1S.000 glrK AT CROSBY HALL "The big work Is. of rourse. at Crosby Hall In the basement alone there are 1300 women making shirts, overalls nnd helmets for the War Department " And up stairs "The huge old Tudor building with Its tapestries and Its windows, nnd Inside thousands of maimed men working some of them blind, some without legs, and yet all of them together turning out 3000 to 4000 pairs of socks a week to the War Omce. Some of them are making portnble houses now, looking forward to repatriation. There is something about them that al ways Just hopes " Again MrR Osgood reached for a letter. "I think." she said slowly. "I will read tn you what my daughter who Is with them every day. says of them- " 'My offlee Is ln an old minstrel gallery at the end of the building I am sur rounded by typewriters, but above it all 1 hear the hum. Oh. mother, there Is nn un conquerable something about these men whoso faces have ceased to be rudderless It seems to have nothing at nil to do with character It Is divine I nm so moved by these big forces of life that I have come so near to that I feel as though nil the rest of my life had been spent In a dessert of fantasy.' " And this was tho way Mrs. Osgood fin ished her story. "I will be back In the fall to talk to the Bryn Mawr girts," sho promised, and then some one added the very Illuminating fart that she and her daughter had sent 1100.000 worth of wool to England In the short space of a year, part of this being realized from the sale of paintings dono In the trenches by the famous English artist, Spenser-Pryse.
