BEHIND THE
RUMMER HOTEL
OF CHILD'S
ur
ft, rAU the Correcting in the World in Public Will Not Make
Little Ones Mannerly if Character Building Has Not
Gone Steadily on Behind the Scenes
CHILDREN'S manners or lack of
manners are never more evident
than In the summer hotel There Is
something In the life nnd atmosphere
ot n hotel that Is like a crucible In Its
revelation of the true nature of a child
It la not quite fair to say nature, be
cause; bur little ones at this earlv age
are, simply products of the training
that goes Into them Their own na
tures have as jet scat eel) begun to
show.
Take, little KatbMr Anv one who
can read the lire in a child's ce knows
that some day this little eight-veil'
old Is opt to have a spirit that Is going
lo .make her a leader Hut just now
most of the people In the hotel .ire
wondering how such a painstaking
lovely mother can have such an Ill
bred child. Kathleen Is a smart) from
the. word go when she hns an audience
Not for anv thing would she let the
world, much lesi the people In the din
lng room, know that she U just a sim
ple little girl who loves her dolly when
she la all alone', who clings fiercely to
her daddy when he takes hei out too
far In the watei. It would not do to
answer "What, mother?" Instead of Just
a piercing "What-' It would not do
to let any of the other little chlldieu
on the porch Tcnovv that K.ithUcn Is
even as thev- .ifter all nothing much
more than a babv And so our little
friend tosses hei bobbi d hair with its
perky bow and flips her little short
skirt alrllv and sas as nianv siuiev
things as she can all d iv long
T ,-, , . ,
HEHE are plentj of corrections for
Kathleen in the hotel Hut
somehow they seem In v lin It Is

Would I be asklnic too much to advise me
how ta remote same' E N.
First try soaking the cover in milk for

as It becomes discolored If this does
not entirely remove the stain apply a
weak solution of oxalic acid Do not
have it too strong, as )ou are apt to In

WELL, are )ou thinking of getting
out )our serge dress now that Sep

do b) way of freshening it up a bit?
New collar and cuffs have wrought sur

with several rows of pink or blue frilling
on the edge, or pleated net sets with fine
tucks and a hem of edging I saw these
today by the jard at twenty cents.

"'" B I discovered a way to.get
the better of those malicious brushes
For at a shop yesterday I found a com
bined brush for black and tan shoes
Half of It Is black bristles, and the other
half Is of soft "cottony" material. It Is
a most convenient affair, would be par
ticularly welcomed by ' him," and can be
secured for seventy-five cents.
Don't go around the kitchen when you
are dressed for the evening with the
sleeves of that dress or .clean waist
rolled up. "But," you exclaim, "I don't
want my sleeves to get soiled right
away." Certainly not, but there Is an
other way to protect them, without rolling
them up and getting them mussy. I
speak of black sleeve protectors, which
can be tied over the arms. They are
very nice to have for Jhe kitchen, and
they can be secured for twenty cents a

soon, and the dream of his life might

And Iluth, how was sho spending tho
morning? 'J he commltteo meeting had
lasted an hour. .Some older woman
had talked to them about Serious war
work, and Ituth, whoso thoughts weVc
busy with something else, had not heard
all she said Most of It had to do
with a course In practical nursing. Ruth
had thought It sounded Interesting, but
decided thai she reallj hadn't the tlmo
to devote to It The woman had ex
plained that It did not necessarily mean
nursing on the firing line. "We have
man volunteers anxious and eager to
go over there," she explained, 'but
manj who cannot be spared to go can
still do their bit over hcr There is
plent of work for all "
Ituih s thoughts busied themselves
with those words 'doing their bit"
How much they Ind been used since
the beginning of the war, and how often
had she heard them applied to war work
I big and little "And I am doing my
bit," she asserted contentedly, I'm
doing all 1 tan," and she did not give
her name as a volunteer nurse, although
several ot the girls did Myra Brlggs

queer, even In college She had alwajr
served on romml'tees he Ind alwavs'and baseball "fin" Is dead at Kirk-
been too bus) for fun and even now,
although Ruth knew that she held a re
sponsible position, she had offered lo ado
this one more burden to hei busy life
"How can ou ever make the time,
Mvra?' she had queried, as the were
going out
'Oh, III manage ' Mvra returned
"Win dldn t jou offer, Ruth'''
In the fate of JIj n's efforts Ruth felt
suddenly ashamed "I don t know,' she
finced I reallv don't think thil I
am adapted for that kind of work,"
'Oh." sild Mvra, looking at Ruth
closelv, and hr tone of voice did not
sound as though sho reall understood
at all
Out in the sunshine, Ruth s spirits
rose again hhe passed a shop window
fllled with soft pink llnnerle, and stop
ped a inluuio to Inspect It Hut half of
the window was devoted to mllltarv

I can t seem to be able to find out much

out that she was Itose W, and the
young man ln turn was meditating on
what she had said and would say when
she discovered he was Earl Morgan, for
the young radio student was none other
than the hero of the episode at Carter's

"I'll bless the Red Cross as long as I

Hours of Waste
I
N PHILADELPHIA ALONE there
are 400 hours wasted every day in
asking "INFORMATION" for tele

in the telephone directcory.
These 400 hours of operators' time
wasted in this non-essential form of

completion of the necessary war work

Will you help eliminate this waste and
keep the lines open for the telephone calls
of the war industries by practicing the

Do not call "INFORMATION"

SERGEANT "DICK" NEWMAN
DON'T TRAVEL TOO MUCH
1 V
Unnecessary Use of Trains Un
patriotic, Says McAtloo
Washington, Aug. 21. Unnecessaiy
traveling at piesent Is unpatriotic,
Director General McAtloo declares in a
statement uiglng the American public
to nvold using tho passenger lines
whenever possible, so trainmen could
be released for service on troop and
necessary freight ttalns.
Mr, McAdoo's statement follows in
pai t:
'Complaints have reached me from
time to time of overcrowded ttalns and
unsatisfactory conditions prevailing ln
some sections of tho country in pas
senger train service. I feel certain
there nre grounds for some of these
complaints.
"Among the many patriotic duties,
of the American public Is the duty to
refrain from tinv cling unnecessarily.
Every man, woman nnd child who can
nvold using trains nt this time should
do so. I earnestly hope they will do
so Not onlv vvlll they liberate es
sential transportation facilities which
nro necessary for war pui poses, but
the) will snve money which they can
invest In Libeity Bonds and thereby
help themselves us well as their coun
tr.v, nnd the fewer who ttavel the
moie ample the passenger train service
will be.
