With the crisp snow underfoot ,and the sparkling air above, Now I do not linger over my- notes in 1'rofcssor Coe's pootry class. I hurry out, And the Professor gathers his papers together, slowly, very slowly. So I am crossing Campus by the time he leaves Minster Hall. Sometimes I long to laugh. For 1 see that he avoids mo now. He could never marry a little stenographer! For Is that not wlfkt I am? Often when 1 see the way In which he looks past me. I would like to say, "And, I would not marry you you with your snobbish Idenls and your petty meannesses." And so we smite. And bow briefly. And.pass. ' Today as I reached home, after class, Au'nt Emily met me at the door. "Sarn, your Cousin would lllse to speak to- you .In the library." Why this portentlous tone of Aunt Emily's? What had I done? I hur ried through my mind. Perhaps It was Just my Ideas, Cousin Sam wished to reprove mo about? I felt again like the little girl, who wa to be "severely reprimanded" In tho library. There was. something the matter. I saw lt,,lmmedlalcly. Cousin Sam with his hands clasped behind him, paced the length of the library rug. I closed the door softly. I leaned against Its heavy wood for support. "Well?" I asked. Cousin Sam looked up. "Sit down, Sara, sit down." I did. Still tho restless pacing. "You know Mother has not leen well," he began, is not well now, in fact. The cares of housekeeping nre burdensome to her. Burdensome, he repeated, "as Nthey would not be to younger shoulders. You may not realize what an addition to our household you have ben these last few months. Your foresight, your thoughtfulncss, I may say your young life, has meant much to Mother. Per haps you have cotno to understand that Mother Is tho largest Interest In my life outside of my work." "Oh, yes," I murmured faintly. "In short. Sara," Cousin Sam ended, "I have come to the. conclusion that our marriage would simplify . things very much Indeed." ' He paused. He stood with lcga apart on the rug looking at me through his shining glasses. I was a little fright ened. This address was far more dry-as-dust than usual. "But whom aro we to marry?" I a.ked. "I thought T mndo that clear," said Cousin Sarii. "each other I" "Each other," I repeated stupidly. "But I but you don't love me " "That Is, Sara, a Httio Irrelevant. I am afraid you have those ideas firm your reading, which Is not " "But, Cousin Sam," I answered, "I don't want to marry you. Besides you couldn't stand me. If you knew me as I really am," I hurried on. "I've bt,en awftlily quiet and lady-like and all that In South Minster. But I'm not really like that nt all." "Let me repeat, quiet Irrelevant.' said Cousin Sam, nervously polishing the shining glasses. "Besides, Sara, ynu arc not a. young girl, you are a woman of twenty-five." "I know that," I said rather 'lttnilv, "but It's my ago." Cousin Sam looked hurt. "Dear Cousin Sam," I went on "you just think you.owould like me. But Instead, why don't you get a good house- keeper? She would take the cares of housekeeping from Aunt Emily I" Cousin Sam looked queer a moment. Then he said, "Yes, that ItK a possible solution; but I think you would make a very good Professor's wife." "Ileally, I wouldn't do at all," I said. So I went out, closing the door softly behind me. ' Somehow I want to laugh at It all. And yet I want to cry. How could such a thing have happened? t Tomorrow The Decision I l"' '-asHaaW j .ifIfiV.iAVV.W5l&MG-: EMPLOYS WOMEN FOR U. S.

Not that the cars have run over and literally killed so many of the Insects, but because, with the rom- the erms t disease. soft surface on which he has been stand ing. This he deposits on the next sur face he touches. Obviously, alt that Is necessary to make the fly a carrier of, disease is that he come In contact witn "CARMEN" GIVEN WITH TASTE AND SPIRIT Singers of Grand Opera Fcsti val Illumine Bizet's Master piece al the Academy CIGARMAKERS TO DANCE Red Cross Will Benefit Frorp Enter tainment Tonight A dance for the heneflt of the lied Cross will be held tonight at White's Hall. Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, by the employes of tho Seidcnberg & Co. cigar factory, 243 South Third street The committee on Tirrangements In cludes Anna Abrams. Elizabeth Stuart, Ada Binder, Yetta Cohen, Hetty Hoff mann and Esther Ballingcr. The grand opera company at the Academy made. a better Impression with "Carmen" than with any previous offer ing of the current "festival." The per formance had both lyric and dramatic eloquence, and Its effectiveness-was ap preciably enhanced by the adaptability of the house to a production of this character. "Carmen" is lost n the vast reaches of the Metropolitan. Tho dimensions of the Academy suggest the Paris Opera Comlque, for which Bizet's masterpiece was written. In both of these theatres tho flavor of a true lyric play, whose vivid sincerity and elemental force never for a moment approach tho grandiose, goes for it! full value. I-ast night'.-; presentation exhibited the precious virtue of simplicity. None of tho characters was overplayed. Tho tinging In general was thoroughly ade quate and at times pf outstanding merit. The whole treatment of a work unrt valccl In its genre was straightforward and unmarred by Mtalil. Alice Gentle's portrayal of the title part exemplified just such qualities. The interpctation revealed none of the la bored sfrlvlngs to create a "new" Car men, of which certain divas have lurn guilty. This very conventionality, au thoritative and unpretentious,, was en tirely welcome. The role was satisfac torily sung. The lyric honors of the occasion went to Illccardo Martin for really sterling nrt In many passages. Although some- what too corpulent to be romantic, his , Don Joso was intelligently conceived anil acted with taste. Henri Scott, al-1 though perhaps a 'trifle too bland, sang ' Escanilllo admirably. The Mlchaela nt Dora de Phlllippe won favor, although her tones at times seemed lacking In flexibility and sweetness, even In Jho 1 easy and effective arias of tills part, Octave Dim. Jean Defrere, Caroline An drews and Viola Robertson ably abetted Miss fientlo In a delightfully spirited rendering of the delicious quintet, and Henry Weldan was a rich-toned Zuniga. The orchestra, under .loslah Zuro, gave a brilliant reading of a deathless' score. 4 H. T. C. Express Rale to Go' Up Washington, June 21. It has been nn announced that the Consolidated Express Company, to start operations July 1, will Increase its rates about lu per cept with the sanction of the Interstate Commerce Commission. ing of the automobl.es. more than 1000 stables In this city have been converted into garages or torn down within the law year. "That mean a graat deal." declared Dr. Wllmcr Krusen. Director of the De partment of Public Health and Charities', today, "But that doesn't mean ive have ceased our fight against tho Insect. We have started the anti-fly campaign with great vengeance this summer. We hope t,o Tld the city of many more stables, garbage piles and useless filth by educat ing the people concerning the degrada tion of the fly." In the puprcme court of the land. pub He opinion, "Mr Fly" has been Indicted nnd his guilt established beyond qiies-. tlon, hut he lias proved so powerfu. and his hiding places go numerous It has been hard'to prosecute him. He and the mosquito have heen the companions of man through the ages. , Of old It wan supposed they were harmless pests, enemies of comfort and grim disturbers of repose, but not really dangerous. They were the Inevitable visitors of summer, -and a season with- 1 out them would have been considered as abnormal an hot months without foliage. I But today the habits and tastes of the "Innocent fly" have been exposed and he 'Is recognized as ono of the greatest ! carriers of disease, especially typhoid and other fevers and Infantile d'seases. The fly Is the most Inquisitive crea- ure on earth, dularert Doctor Krusen. 'He hovers in the stable, pesters the cat- I tie in the pasture ; he buzzes about the j outhouses and flies In the parlor window; I he Is to be found In the woods, by the streams, In the dairy and about the table. With his ravenous appetite and hip loe of ndventure he is n roving pirate who knows no port. "You know, of course, that the fly's feet re covered with little pads, so small as to be invisible to the naked eye. These pads he uses to afllx himself to the sur fuce of unstable objects, to walk on the celling or to promenade on the wall. Moreover, these pads are covered with a sticky substance that adheres to what ever It touches. When a fly moves ha carries with him a small part of any "To really 'swat' the fly you must destroy his breeding place, and that is what the department Is striving to do and Is urging the citizens to do." Michael J. Kelly, chief of the division of housing and sanitation, said today that there were more than BOO stables In Philadelphia. Already this season 220 have been Inspected, proprietors of 800 have been given notice to procure permits from the Board of Health, thirty permits have been Issued and twelve men have been prosecuted. Every person who has a stablo must hae a permit. Last year SG0 permits were Issued, though It was reported there were 7000 stablesJn tho city. "We are exceedingly short-handed this year." said Mr. Kelly, "The war has taken many of our assistants. Then, too, more than 100 wonjen volunteered and assisted us last summer, while we have had no offers of outside help this serson. Wo have served notices to many persons to remove exposed manure and correct other Insanitary conditions, and we will do everything we can to destroy fly-breeding places. You see, the fly cannot develop from the egg. which must havo undisturbed filth to grow In, In less than eight days. If the filth is cleaned up or destroyed at least We ask that garbage receptacles be tightly covered ;. If possible protected by screen". Every window and door should be screened and fly-swatters, flypaper and other weapons should be used plen tifully." Thomas U Hodge, who Is really Philadelphia's "fly enthusiast" and chairman of the anti-fly campaign com mittee, Is specially interested In the food question, sd'far as the Insects are con cerned. All foodstuffs should be kept under coer, he says, whether In res taurant or home. Milk and sweet things especially attract the pest nnd. are easily contaminated by him. "Files are realty an evidence of ear less housekeeping .and of tho existence : or filth somewhere, he declared, -so many housewives neglect their kitchen sinks. The sink should he kept free of fruit and vegetable parings. Soiled,! kitchen towels and napkins should be placed In drawers. AH food left after meals should be removed and soiled dishes should be washed as soon as pos sible. The ice box should be kept clean and free from odors Ahoe all, the garbage should be properly protected." Philadelphia Officer Hurt Chicago. June 21.

The Enemy's Great Offensive against our brave Ally has begun, in a final effort to critbh her before America's Armies arrive. Critical as is the situation at the Italian Front, it is even more ,o behind the Line. The Military Hospitals arc in great need of immediate help, for their most vital work is to heal the wounded and send. them back again to help hold that hard-pressed Line. Hospital supplies of many kinds, such as anaesthetics, can be purchased in Italy with the money to do so money is the basic necessity. Fifteen Hundred Thousand Refugees, most of them des titutc, have flooded down from the invaded provinces into cities and towns and villages whose inhabitants are already greatly weakened by the long strain of war and need help to bear tin's added burden. Italy's Civil Population generally is also suffering much privation and is tnreatcncu by even greater distress.
