r 71 ' t EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, ' tfclCKSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1917 THE SOUVENIR HOARDER CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HOUSECLEANING TIME FASHION N i- ifc-MW ' bn. -' fc, R kA WOMEN HAVE NOT THE COURAGE TO DISCARD UNWANTED SOUVENIRS Subject to Endless Dusting Rather Than Throw Them Away One Housewife Held an Auction Sale for Children to Get Rid of Hers OU. R. antiques nre up for auction. Corao In nnd look! Thla. dear friends, sounds like the Bill lettered lure hanging outside of a curio hop; but It Isn't; It's the bombshell throwp Into . residential neighborhood the other day by a very dusty housewife, who was tired of dusting. I might if mark that the housewife was hou.iecleanlng' The "ad" was printed In Ink on small pieces of white paper and distributed only among1 the children of the neighbor hood. It went on to suy that all sorts of lovely, fascinating things were to be had for the very reasonable sum of bids that began at a penny and could not by law go higher than n dime. VTEEDI-ESS to say, from the viewpoint ' of the children the auction was a huge success. Very small persons went home hugging tight to their hearts queer looking wooden spoons, souvenir slippers and fans, little uorn-out blrchbark canoes, faded wooden racks with hun dreds of little compartments and tens of other delightful things that would make beautiful plaroom treasures. From the viewpoint of the liouseulfo who held the "sale" the proceeds were Inestimable. The money itself she In vested in a box of candy, later divided among her small customers. But thb freedom from antiques! She wouldn't fthare it with the possessor of the cost liest knickknacks In the universe. For the first time In eleven years this very unusual woman went to bed know ing that the morrow would bring no need less round of Intricate dusting, that tin. chlfdren could find nothing to knock off th wall and that she herself had "burned her bridges." To understand the fullness of this senso .of freedom ou must realize that fr Vyvettes Midnight blue a big golden har vest moon with clouds across it, nnd a bat winging its way and there you have your autumn hat. exactly eleven years, ever since the sou venirs had begun to accumulate obstruc tively, our friend had been trying to get up the courage to throw triem away. Each housecleanlng timo she would lay them aside, fully determined to wrencli her self free from the reign of dust and dust ing. Then qualms of sentiment and fear that the things might "come in handy" would steal In and one by one tho sou venirs would take their places at the old standi. And so It was until the day of her auction sale! 0N THE face of It this plan might sound a little wild and unnecessary. One would think it woman might possess the will power to throw away what she didn't want. But lias she? Did you evor try tu illxcards.ouvonlr9? Think it over!

To Clean Oil Paintings To the Editor o "Woman's Puuc: Dear Madam Will ou please tell me how to clean an olt painting and also the roid frame that Is on It? HOUSECLEANEH. Take the painting out of Its frame If pos sible. Lay a cloth moistened with rainwater on It and leave for a while to take up the dirt from the picture. You may have to repeat this process several times before the treatment Is successful. Now wipe the picture ery carefully and gently with a piece of cotton dampened with very pure Kn eed oil. The gold frame can be cleaned by rubbing It with a piece of freshly cut onion. U should be wiped after that with a soft sponge wet with rainwater a few hours after the application of the onion and must be wiped dry with a very soft rag. If the painting Is a valuable one I would jidvlya you to Ul.e It to an expert, as dam age sometimes results from Inexperienced cleaning at home.

(1) When asked by a youmc man If he may ae eonjPnny you, how should his Imitation be ar ts) When asked to dance. Just what should one say, nnd should It be said before or after dancing; with a person? (3) It Is icry hard for me to carry on conver sation with a new acquaintance, although at school I get high aierages In EnRllsh nnd read very good book What shall I do to Increase my Belf-confldence' ANXIOUS (1) Be Very simple In answering a note If the young man has uritten and asked jou to let lilm take you. Just write a short note something like this: "My Dear llr : I will be very glad to have you call for me to take me to Mrs 's dance on Thurnday night, nnd will be ready about half-after S Until then I re main, very sincerely, Of course, If It Is not a note, and the young man Justasks you If he may stop for you, you have only to answer. "Vcs, that will be very nice. I'll be ready at about half-past 8 " C!) Accept the Invitation to dance with a smile, and "Vcs, I would like to very much," and when the dance Is finished tell your partner you enjoyed it. Do not arrange any sentences beforehand It Is apt to make you stiff and self-conscious. (3) Conversation Is n thing apart from high averages at school, but the reading of goou oooks is a great neip, as It glvos you a vocabulary. Read up local plays and dis cuss them as well as the books which are generally read these days nnd discuss the characters In the playa or books. One can always talk of the war, too. It Is well not to appear to know too much about jour sub ject, and with a little tact you can make the other person talk of things which Interest him or her and unconsciously you will be come Interested and lose your self-conclous-ness Exemption of Alien To the Kdllor of Woman's J'aoe.- Dear Madam Please publish In your column an answer to this question. Suppose a man proved to the Government of the United States that he Is an alien nnd that he la a widow's son, the only support of his mother that he has over in his own country de- G ending on him. csn the (Jovsrnment of the nlt-d States force him to co back in M. nn country? VINCENT. An alien such as you describe, a prom inent member of the draft board tells me, would make claims for exemption on the ground of his not being a citizen of the United States and could not make them on the ground of having a dependent mother on the other side. He flies an affidavit stating that he Is a citizen of another coun try and after presenting proof obtains a certificate of exemption, Ills name Is then turned over to the consul of the country to which he belongs, and It rests with his own country. If It be one of the countries now at war. whether or not he be called back to fight for It. The United States at present, so far as I can learn, Is taking no other steps to provide for the deportation of aliens go tney can nght for their own countries. The reason such an alien could not claim exemption on account of his mother, I now learn. Is that the exemption ruling about dependents relates only to dependents in America, and Is made so that the respon sibility of caring for these dependents will not fall upon the United States Govern ment The second question In your letter, belnr ot a medical nature, ha been turned over to Or. Jelm Jttrvey. KeUo, wfoM,apoaa HeAKH fawaMMeam, fkox appa.r e tH Prisoner of War T HAD not been asleep very long at Mr. Ttockruddcr'a when Itowdy woke me up by growling down deep In his neck. I felt of him In the dark and the hair on his back was standing up straight. I told him to hush, and then I listened and there was a noise downstairs. Then I heard a glass break, so Jlowdy and I opened the door Into the hall nnd peeked out. Then the stairs creaked and somebody was coming up. I certainly was feeling funny and I could hear my heart tick. Soon wo saw a round light on the celling and moving around Whoever was coming upstairs looked Just like a black shadow. I kept my hand on Rowdy's head to keep him quiet The light went to the other bedroom herr 1 used to sleep, and Rowdy and 1 held our breath. I'retty soon something cracked and the door went opn and the light went In Then Rowdy nnd I tlppytoed down the hall The light was In front of the dresier I could not wait any longer, so I hollered, "do to It, Rowdy'" My voice sounded awful funny. If It had not been mine I do not think I would have known what It said Hut Rowdy knew With a Jump and a growl Rowdy was In the room and a olce said something awful Then somebody was on tho bed nnd Rowdy was. too, nnd then oh the bed on the floor, and then over a chair and then out of the window, glnss and all. I pushed the button and made the room light nnd saw that tho room was nil torn up. On the floor I found the thing that made the round light, nnd when 1 Ft)uee7ed It I made the light again Rowdv and I went bnck to bed. but It was quite a while beforo I went to sleep again. When I woke up It was daylight 1 went out to the servants' house and woke them all up and told them they were tin tired. I told Levy what had happened, and we went under the window and there was blood on the ground Levy nnd Rowdy and I followed the Wood to the boathouse, and In there was a man. One leg of his trousers was torn off and his leg was bit and broken I said, "That Is what you get for monkeying with the Irish " The man did not say anything, but Just looked pale. Levy started to the house. I said. "Where are you going?" He said, "To foam for the police" I said. "Who is boss here'" Ho said. "You are ' I .ad. "Then you foam for a doctor and let the police chase them sehes. This burglar has got plenty You get the doctor nnd then get the houseman and carry him to bed." He did. and I went along nnd the doctor hnd to foam for an other doctor, and they gave him something to make him sleep and tied a weight on his foot and the doctor said he would need a nurse. I said to send for one, and she is here and she chews gum like a cow, nnd I'm not much stuck on her. The foam rang this evening, nnd I said. "Hello"' A oleo said, "Who Is this?" I said, "It Is Patsy Klldare. What's It to you?" Then It said, "Hello, Patsy. This in Mr Rockrudder How nre you getting along?" I said. "All right. It Is kind of lonesome out here without much to do. I found the house full of people giving n party last night, and I ran them out and fired Lew and the others, and then at midnight Howdy nnd I chased n burglar out of nn upstairs window and broko his leg. o,..l I t,na l,fi,l i ilnctfip n rwl nnnthiT nnn come and fix his teg. and he Is here now In bed and wo hae got a trained nurse, and sho wants to know who Is going to pay the bill. Hut that doesn't worry me. for I hne got twenty dollars, and I will go back on the stage If 1 need any more I have un flred the servants again." Mr. Rockrudder laughed and said, "Tell the nurse to corao to the foam." Sho did. and ho told her he would pay all the bills. Then he called Levy and the other servants to the foam and told the nurse nnd the others to do what I told them My burglar was very sick when ho got his senses back and he hollered till I told him to close his face and shut up, which he did He Is very much afraid of Rowdy, hut Rowdy Is not mad at him at all. It Is bedtime now and I have prayed: "Dear mother, which art in heaven, this has been a good day and I know I have got you and God to thank for It. I would never hae thought of catching a burglar all by my self Rowdy Is certainly some dog. No body but Rowdy or somebody who was Irish would have Jumped out in the dark and grabbed a burglar llko that Ask God to bless you and my father and the burglar can have my share this time. Amen."
