Mrs. Jam Wright, Margaret and Hannah (one wonders how tho latter can bear the sep aration from her little chum Sarah Pen rote, but the season at Bar Harbor Is ihort one must remember), the Harrison Dulleses and Mrs. Ben Tllghman, and, ef course, the Bob Le Contes and Mrs. 1 Conte's numerous Stewart children, who .are always in evidence. There was a big parade at the resort in the Fouth. and one of the features of the procession was the Red Cross con tingent made up of Dr. Robert Abbe, Dr. H. M. Stokes, of New York; Dr. J. Madl ion Taylor, of this city, and Dr. Ralph Wakefield, of Bar Haibor. These doc ori are all members of tho Medical Re lerve Corps of the United States Army, Doctor Abbe having recently received his commission as a major.

So the doc tor sent him word If he could come to him, as he was dressing, ho would pre scribe, but otherwise he could not glvo him a minute all day. So the patient went upstairs and the doctor asked him his symptoms as ho was getting into his tub, felt his pulse while In the tub and prescribed for him as he got out.

TTON'T you love the kiddles' ideas of L religious thlng3 until they get a better understanding nnd learn to know tho difference between temptation and actual sin. So many of them confuse tho two and think they aro doing wrong, poor little lambs, when they are tempted to and yet resist. Frankle. however, though mixed on his guilt about being tempted, was certainly not mixed as to his sin. He had been naughty and hu mother told him after talking seriously to him nnd obtaining real sorrow for the misdeed on his part. "Now, dear, kneel down and tell God you are sorry and ask Him to forgive you." "How shall I tell Him, mother?" asked Frankle. "Just In your own words, dear," she replied. So Frankle knelt down and said, "Dear God, please forgive me for being tempted by Satan to fall, for I not only slid, but I fell in with both feet. Amen." IT WAS nothing short of thrilling on the Fourth when the three companies of Home Defense marched Into the Philadel phia Cricket Club and went through their various maneuvers. And when they came up to "company front" nnd marched down the field as one man they looked, ln spite of their somewhat variegated khaki, al most like regulars. And they had an en thusiastic audience, which stayed with them to the end, for the dance ln the eve ning was crowded. Tho Davo Newhalls were there and the George Ffoulkes. Mrs. Ffoulke was Fisher Kewhnll, you know. I saw Barker Mellor dancing around as if he had never heard of such a thing as a drill. Ivy and Aubrey Williams were there, and of course tho younger set had a beautiful time. All threo Newbolds Catherine, Ethel and Mary were danc ing. Mary will como out next year. Mar tha Henderson, another debutante, was there, too, and Judith Jennings. Lee Shipley looked awfully well ln white, and Eleanor Edmonds (that Is to say Eleanor Ketcham) also had on a. white dress. Eleanor and Stan have Just come back from their wedding trip and they teemed happier than over. Dorothy DIsston was nt the club In the afternoon, playing some very good tennis with Molly Thayer. Doth girls looked as fresh ns If they had Just started, nnd they are botn so graceful It was a pleasure to watch them. There is a great difference, by tho way, between playing tennis during a drill of soldiers nnd playing while a great rally is going on. There was great Indignation among the spectators at the rally last Sunday at St. Martins because during the speeches nnd the singing of national airs, princi pally the "Star Spangled Banner," certain young men saw fit to play tennis within twenty-five feet of the stand. In fact, people were still talking about It on Wed nesday night. It seems a pity that some one ln authority did not request them to stop. Surely they could have played their game In the morning or have taken their exercise in some other spot, for the whole of Germantown and Chestnut Hill turned out there that afternoon and held a com bined Bed Cross and Home Defense and everything else, so to speak, meeting, and It was decidedly an occasion. In fact, Mr. Le Roy, pastor of St. Mar-tlns-ln-the-Flelds1, had the afternoon serv ices put off until the meeting was over, and yet so poor are the manners of some of our younr American men they are unable to stop their games long enough to pay respect and attention to a meet ing such as that was. It makes one ashamed to think that they can show o little politeness, to say nothing of pa triotism and proper feeling. MR. AND MRS. WILSON POTTER, accompanied by their cunning chil dren, have gone to Kennebunkport, Me., where they, have opened their cottage. Mrs. Potter, you know, is quite the Ideal mother, does not care a fig for society, but devotes her time to her chtldren and their careful training, and like her mother-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Potter, gives all her spare time to working for the Red Cross.

I may be detected any minute, nnd then God help you others I" Sanerlotte ' That Isn't the way you i:ng- llhh are treating us. No. monsieur, we sink or swim together Tho ready dlsnowal of any clash of In terests was cheering The little man's heart was sound, though his temper might he short Good faith, howeer, was not such a prime essential now as good Judg ment, and Dalroy halted again nt a corner of the square. To stay In Argenteau was madness. But there weie tlnee roads One ted to Vise, ono to Liege, and one to the German frontier The first two wero closed hopelessly Tho third, open In a sense, was fantastic when regarded at n possible avenuo of escape Yet that third road offered the only path towatd compara tlo security and rest. "I wish you wouldn't look so dejected," whispered Irene, peeping up Into Dalroy's downcast face with the winsome smile which had so taken his fancy during tho long Journey from Berlin. "I've been count ing our gnlns and losses Surely the bal nnco Is heay on our side We you, that Hhavo defeated the whole German army. We've lost some sleep and some clothes, but hao secured a safe-conduct from our ene mies, after knocking n good many of them on the head. Some men, I know, look mis erable when most successful; but 'I don't put you In that category." She was careful to talk German, not that theio was much chance of being actually overheard, hut to prevent tho sibilant ac. cents of Kngllsh speech reaching suspicious ears Britons who hao no language but their own lire often surprlred when abroad at hearing children mimicking them by hissing. Curiously enough, such is the ef fect of our Island tongue on foreign ears Monosyllables like "yes," "this." "its" nnd scores of others In constant ut-e, no less than tho almost Invariable plural form of nouns, le'ad to tho Illusion, which Irene was aware of nnd guarded against. Yet, despite the uncouth, harsh-sounding words' on her lips and tho coarse Flemish garments she wore, she was adorably Kng llsh. Leontlne Joos was a pretty girl, but. In true feminine parlance, "lumpy." Some three Inches less ln height than her "sis ter," she probably weighed a stone more Leontlne trudged when she walked, Irene moed with n grace which not even n pair of clumsv sabots could hide. Luckily they were nliko In one Important paiticular Their faces nnd hands were soiled, their hair untidy, and the passage through the wood had scratched foreheads and cheeks until tho skin was broken, and little patches of congealed blood disfigured them. "I may look more dejected than I feci." Dalroy reassured her. "I'm playing a part, remember I've kept my head down and my knees bent until my Joints ache " "Oh Is that It?" she cooed, with n re lieved 'air How could he know then that the saboH were chafing her ankles until the pain had become well-nigh unbearable? If she could have gratified her own wishes she would have crept to the nearest hedge and flung herself down In utter weariness. Joos having pondered the Englishman s views on Andenne as an unattainable ref uge scratched his head perplexedly "I think we had better go toward Herve, he said at last. "This Is the road," and he pointed to the left "On the way we can branch off to a farm I know of, if It hap pens to be clear of soldiers." Any goal was preferable to none. They entered the eaBtward-bound road, but had not advanced twenty yards along It before the way was blocked by a mass of com missariat wagons and scores of Uhlans tannine hv their horses. Two officers, heedless who heard, were wrangling loudly. "There l nothing else for It, Herr Haupt mann" said one "It doesn't matter who is actually to blame. You have taken the wrong road and must turn back Every yard farther ln thU direction puts you deeper In the mire." "But I was mtfdlrected as far away as Bleyberg," protested the other. "Some never-to-be-forgotten hound of hell told me that this was the Veivlera road. Gott lm hlmmell and I must be there by dawn I" Dalroy was gazing at the wagons. They reemed oddly familiar The painted legend on the tarpaulins placed the matter beyond doubt These were the very vehicles he had seen In the station-yard at Alx-la-Chapell 1 At this crisis Jan Maertz sluggish brain evolved ft really clever notion. The Ger mans wanted a guide, and who so well Qualified for the post as a carter to whom each turn and twist In every road In the province was familiar? Without consult ing any one, ha pushed forward.

Brutality I so engrained In the Trusslan that an offer which a man of another race would have accepted civilly was treated almost as an Insult by the angry leader of the convoy.

The virtue of military obedience becomes a groveling (.ervltudo ln the German army, and n man who was ready to act with the utmost un fa'rncss If left to his own Instincts grew almost courteous nt sight of tho communi cations officer's name "Your case is dif ferent," he admitted grudgingly "la this your party? The old man Is Herr Schultz, I suppose. Which aro you?" "I'm Georges Lambert, Herr General." "And what do you want?" "We'ro all gijlng to Andenne It's on the paper. This Infernal lighting hat smashed up our place at Aubel and tho women are footsore and frightened.' So Is papa Put them In a wagon Pampler and I can leg It." Tho Prussian was becoming more civil each moment. He realized, too, that this gruff fellow who moved about the country under such powerful protection was a ver itable godsend to him and his tired men. "No. no," he cried, grown suddenly com plaisant, "wo can do better than that. I'll dump a few trusses of hay, and put you all ln the same wagon, which can then take the lead " Then, by a mere tuin of fortune's wheel, tho enemy was changed Into a friend, and a dangerous road made safe and comfort giving. Jan sat in front with tho driver nnd cracked jokes with him, while the others nestled Into a load of sweet-smelling hay. "For tho first time In my life," whispered Dalroy to Irene, "I understand the precise significance of Samson's riddle about the honey extracted from the lion's mouth. Our heavy-wltted Jan has saved the situation. We enter Vervlers In triumph, nnd reach the left of the German lines. Just another slice of luck, and we cross the Meuse at Andenne or elsewhere It doesn't matter where." Irene had kicked off those cruel sabots She bit her lip In the darkness to stltlo a pob before answering coolly. "Shall we be clear of the Germans then?" "I hopo so.

She thought she would "hear those guns" during the rest of her life Never had sho dreamed of anything m horrific as that drumming of cannon She believed, as women do, that every shell tore hundieds of human beings limb from llmh In silent revolt against the frenzy which seemed to possess the world, she closed her eyes and burled her head In the hay ; and once again exhausted nature was Its own best healer. When the convoy rumbled Into Vervlers In the early morning, having followed a by road through Julomont and Herve. Irene had to bo awaked out of deep sleep. Yet th boom of the guns continued ' Liege was still holding out. a paranoiac despot was frantic with wrath, and civilized Eu rope had yet another day to prepare for the caging of the beast which threatened Its very existence Thfl leader of the convoy was greeted by a furious staff officer In such Uiyns that Dalroy Judged it expedient he and the others should slip away quietly This they contrived to do.

Every available man was being hurried to the front, Dalroy watched two Infantry regiments passing while Maertz and Joos were securing rooms. Though the soldiers were sturdy fellows, and they could not have made an excessively long march, many of them limped badly, nnd only maintained their places In the ranks by force of an Iron discipline. He was puzzled to account for their Jaded aspect An hour later, while lying awake In a fairly comfortable bed, and trying to frame some definite program for the day which had already dawned, he solved tho , mystery. The soldiers were wearing new boots! Germany had every thing ready for her millions. He learnt subsequently that when the German armies entered tho field they were followed by am munition trains carrying four thousand mil lion rounds of small-arm cartridges alonel Ho met Joos nnd Mnertz at dejeuner, a rough but satisfying meal, nnd was faced by the disquieting fact that neither. Madame Joos nor Irene could leave the hedroom which they shared with Leontlne. Madame was dono up; cetto course l'a excede. her husband put It; while mademoiselle's ankles wero swollen and painful. These misfortunes were, perhaps, a bless ing In disguise. An enforced rest was bet ter than no rest nt all. nnd the constant vigil by night and day wns telling even on the apple-cheeked Leontlne.

But ho was not long absent. He had encountered a friend, a cure whose church near Aubel had been blown to atoms by German artillery during a frontier fight on the Monday afternoon. This gentleman, a venerable ecclesiastic, discovered Dalroy's nationality after nve minutes' chat. Ho had In his P?"1""0" copy of a proclamation issued by "v on Emmlch. It began: rmM "I regret ery much to find that German troops are compelled to cross the frontier of Belgium They aro constrained to do so by sheer necessity, the neutrality of B,i. -,. , r.irnrfv been vlolateu o French omrs who.

Both servo as examples, the one as typical of tho excel ent treat ment meted out to those communities which welcome the Invaders, tho other as n warn ing of the fate attending resistance. Both Instances are nbsolutely untrue Every burgomaster in Belgium has Issued notices calling on noncombatants to avoid hostile acts and Vervlers Is exactly on a par with the other unfortified towns In this part of the country. The truth is, mon sieur, that the Germans are furious because of tho delay our gallant soldler3 have Im posed on them It Is bearing fruit, too I hear that England has nlready landed an army at Ostend."
