FURTHER up the coast, at Bar Harbor,
the season has opened, and, as usual,
the Swimming Pool Is tho center of at

familiar faces were to bo seen, among
t them Mrs. Edgar Scott. Edgar, you

Jam Wright, Margaret and Hannah (one
wonders how tho latter can bear the sep

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.
SPEAKING of doctors, so many having
gone to France and to training camps,
the) remaining ones will certainly have
little time for summer vacations
'? -rethinks, but let us hopo they will not
r Uve to work overtime and all time, as
ill a certain well-known nhyslclan in

li told of him, that ho was so rushed
with work and his patients were all so
HI he scarcely had time to close his eyes
at night, and even less to dress nnd eat.
One morning as he was about to stop into
his tub a patient called, who seemed in a
bad way, unable to wait a day or two for
at) appointment. Indeed, the sufferer
needed Immediate attention. 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. Some efficiency In the
matter of time-saving, thatl Eh, what!
( Trouble Is, It could not work for all pa
tients, could It?
NOT everybody is going to the sea

season, the mountains are quite as much
sought after Sarah Erdman Adler and

the son of Dr and Mrs. Lewis Adler, of
this city. Lois Jackson and her mother
are going to the White Mountains for
the summer, and Major BeckurtR and Mrs.
fceckurts and Isabel, of Havcrford, nre
also going there to stay at the Mountain
Mew House. Miss Alice Gilpin, of Fif--teenth

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. NANCY WYNNE.

for the arrival by sloop from New York
of a hogshead of molasses for pies. It Is
not to he supposed, however, that the menu

ent problem Is how and where to bestow
these women for the night. After that, tho
sooner we three men leave them the better
I. at least, must go. 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

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

of clumsv sabots could hide. Luckily they

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

At this crisis Jan Maertz sluggish brain

province was familiar? Without consult

"Give me and my friends a lift, and I'll
have you and your wagons In Vervlers In

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.
"You'll 'guide me with the point of a
lance close to your liver, you Belgian swine,

ntnlned the miller's lalsser pnsser by the

The commissariat officer changed his
tons when ho saw tho signature. 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. Their nrmie3 daro not ad
vance so long as we hear those guns "
, The girl could not reason In the soldler'B
way. 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.

Come, girls; she Is out on the second deck.
Come, all of us let's get her!"
Scene Rear of second deck of Thomas
Clyde; Miss Mariner attired In a champagne-colored
dress, black straw turban
bat and wearing black "pumps," Is sitting
on a chair, eating peanuts, while viewing
the scenery along the Delaware. Near her
sits an elderly lady, who, upon further de
velopments, proves to be her new mother-in-law-
Operators frojri the yfwt, North. East
Thero wero no troops billeted In Vervlers.
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.
Joos wanted to wander about the town
nnd pick up news, but Dalroy dissuaded
him. The woman who kept the little auberge
wn thoroughly trustworthy, nnd hardly
another soul In Vervlers knew of their pres
ence In thn town. News they could do with
out, whereas recognition might bo fatal
Irene put In nn appearance late In the
dav. She hail borrowed n pair of slippers,
nnd the landlady had promised to buy her
n pair of strong hoots Sabots she would
never wear again, she vowed They might
he comfortable and watertight when one
was accustomed to them, but life was too
strenuous tn Belgium Just then to permit
of experiments In footgear
When night fell Joos could not be kept
In It was understood that tho Kommnn
dantur had ordered all Inhabitants to re
main Indoors after 9 o'clock, so the old man
bad hardly an hour at his disposal for what
he called a petit tour. 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. In disguise, have
passed through Belgian territory In an auto
mobile ln order to penetrate 0eany
The cure, whose name was Gamier,
laughed sarcastically at the childishness of
the pretext put forward by the commander-In-chief
of the army of the Meuse. Was
"'... -- .,.,-h n nimsv reason ever
va "-Vl"'..'"' ::, , ,hn world?" he
said "What fire-eaters theso 'disguised
French officers must have ecn Imagine
the hardihood of the braves who would
penetrate' mighty Germany in one auto
mobile' This silly lie bears tho date of
i th Aucust .yet my beloved church was

'" Ter'vlVrs seems to have escaped punish
ment. How do you account for It? In-
qU"It eeemsto be a deliberate policy on the
part of tho Germans to spare one town and
destroy another. 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."
Dalroy shook his head "I wish I might
credit that," he said sadly "I am a soldier,
monsieur, and you may take It from me
that such a feat is qulto Impossible In the
time. Wo might send twenty or thirty
thousand men by the end of this week,
and another similar contingent by the end
of next week. But months must elapse be
fore we can put In the field an army big
enough to make headway against the
.warms of Germans I have seen with my
own eyes."
