A coiy plant for the living- room. 2. lVtchlng little pautaletle pajamas, hemstitched. 3. A rretonne-coiered waste basket. IF there Is one thing which will give a cozy "homy" touch to a room It Is a plant, and If there In one plant above all others which will give cheer and t. wuitiB .im-i . . - brightness, It Is a fresh green fern. Those I saw- today are great bushy plants, very graceful and quite hardy In appearance. And the price Is only eighty-nine cents for some, while the smaller plants can be bought for seventy-five cents Do get one now for the empty corner ln that living room. , when pajanlas flr8t made tI)er ap. nearance ln feminine gulte thev were expensive, and while many of us prob- nged to adorn ourselves In one of shoos plavs a cunning pair of pink pajamas, with low pointed neck finished with hemstitching, and pantalettes caught in at the angle, and finished with a full ruffle They are most attractive. I as sure you, and the price Is only $1 60. - To my way of thinking, about the only room ln tho house that doesn't need a waste paper basket Is the dining room. No other room, however, is complete without one. But on the other hand It would never do to put a heavy braes basket In a bedroom, or a dainty white wicker one In the living room. Perhaps the one kind of waste basket which would look well almost any place In the house Is a cretonne-covered basket. These come In several sizes and shapes, and are covered with most attractive cretonne designs. They are pretty enough to be ornamental, and certainly they are most useful And their nrlea i Is only .1.-5. Here too Is a suggestion i for a gilt.

ARTICLK XXIV Wm TT mc UN Huth met Helen the next motnlng downtown, hoth girls were pale. Huth had not slept well, and Helen was evidently moved strongly by some news "Have jou.hcard?" She asked breath lesslv. "Heard what?" "Oh, haven't jou heard anj thing at all" Huth shook her head. 'When did jou hear from Scott lat"" Huth wrinkled her forehead In a frown. "Last M'ednesdaj'." "You didn't hear todaj ' "So " "Well, my French mall came today nnd Jim aays that they think Scott is missing." ".Missing! Scott missing? What would that mean Helen?" Ruth almost whispered the last. 0,hers Jim says that he went out with some. on a scouting expedition and did not return." The two girls were standing on the subwav platform and Tluth w.is so quiet that Helen turned to her curlouslj-, as though she could not understand her attitude. Huth herself felt curiously stunned, dead inside. Scott vvaH re ported missing! Her thoughts bUBled themselves with that fact. Scott was missing, therefore he might be dead, anything horrible might have happened to hlin and there was nothing at all to be done about It. It was a real war thru after all; people did get shot and killed Oh, what was she thinking! Hadn't she known all along that trie war was real? Hadn't she read all the details In the newspapers? Hadn't she even skimmed over the casualtj- lists, reading hundreds of strange, names, names that did not seem real, because they did not happen to belong to men Bhe knew- And now Scott was missing. She knew Scott, she knew him well. She had talked of him often of late ; talked of him to Jack only last night ; talked of his bravery and of his bojlsh Ideals until a sudden little coolness had Flipped In between them. Not that It was at all strange for a coolness to exist between herself and Jack. Somehow there vvero so many times of late when Jack annoyed her tcrrlblj-, or when she did not think and act us Jack thought she should What was that Helen was sajlng' the words seemed to come from a long distance. And then Ruth realized that Helen "had taken her arm and was saying reassuringly.

If one of them was broken the engine would have given warning; it wouldn t have stopped dead " "It's lour Ignition!" Beth squinted her eyes, deep in thought. "There Is a wire loose somewhere." "There Is not!" Thompson cried em phatically. "I've followed every blame w Ire up. and they are all O. K. Then I know Just what the trouble Is. Your timer Is dirty." Thompson did not stop to question He tackled the timer with fresh enthu siasm, wondering why he had not thought to clean the part befoYe. A moment later he held up the offending section, a layer of grease caking the In- ne"jBuUstf wipe It over and the car will run with ease," flaunted Beth, her eves twinkling merrily. "And, so long. On the way to the village, for he started a few minutes later, Thompson speculated on who the "Motor Lady" might be. and why she had hurried away 1.0 quickly. He was thinking of her when he stored the car away ln the hotel garage, and engaged his room for the nllht. He even sat on the anda to watch all the women that passed, hoping that she would pass too. When night came hope fled. He was ln town for the ono night only, to sell Urea to the E B Sterns Garage Com nany. and would leave for the next big town directly after breakfast He strode up and down the long cor ridor puffing thoughtfully at his .cigar, waiting for the manager of the garage who had arranged to meet him that evening. At 8 o'clock on the minute the call boy motioned to the restless man. "E. B. Sterns Is out on the veranda waiting for you. sir." Thompson threw away his cigar. His mind was wandering and he needed to concentrate, for the Sterns people were customers he wanted to secure, He hurried out. A slender figure rose from a rocker to meet him. "Good morning, Mr. Thompson." "Yes." Thompson hesitated. . "Sorry I can't stop, but I have a pressing en gagement Just now." "I know with me," laughed the girl. llr -M I- Y) OtaaMu Vai, ...l-U ' a.

"What you aald. and If there had been nnrflclal report of any kind, of course Sire. Raymond would have been notified " Ruth took a long breath, and her thoughts began again. Why hadn't she gone to see Mrs Ra.vmond oftener? It might have made It easier for her to have a friend of Scott's to chat with. Sho would plan to go that afternoon, she would make a point of It "It did shock me terribly," Helen went on, "so that I can appreciate Just how you felt about It. Scott Is the first one of our crowd, j-ou know. It means some thing when torac one we care about Is taken." Ruth turned to Helen Impulslvelj'. "Of course jou thought of Jim," she almost whispered "But jou mustn't, Helen As J-ou saj-, the report may be all wrong nnd there Is n, great deal ln tho fact that Mrs. Raymond has had no word."

"After nil jou have Jack." The color flamed all over Ruth's face at the unconscious Irony of that remark. Yes, Scott Raymond might be missing somewhere out In that awful barren space called "Xo Man's Land." but as long as sho had Jack everj thing was all right. Helen had not meant her remark to be Ironic, she had made It with the obvious Intent of helping Ruth, of lightening tho stunned look that her face had worn ever since Helen had told her new s. The tormenting little thoughts hegan to teas her consciousness again She re membered Utile Incidents of Scott's let ters to her. Incidents that loomed up big now that he might never write her again, but which only went to make up a let ter from Franco when she had read them first. Helen of course did not know that she. Ruth, had ever meant anj thing In Scott's life That Is, she knew onlv what the rest of the crowd knew, that both neon ana .incK were possible factors The fact that Jack had been successful had somehow eliminated the possibility of Scott as a suitor. Ruth's mind went so far as to Imagine how It might have been If Instead of accepting Jack, she had loved Scott and hnd sent him to France as Helen had sent Jim The Idea brought an ache to her heart, a sudden and utterly mad desire that she crushed Instantlv out of her thoughts But In spite of her. It came back again later, and with an Intensity that was- not to be denied But before that. Ruth received other news, news from Jack that sur prised and puzzled her.

"If I had a chanco to go back to America tomorrow and take up my old work, the verj thought would bore me to death. Till tho war ends I shall hap pily do what I can over here. I'm sorry I was a slacker so long." These sentiments, typical of the true American Red Cross nurse, were penned by Miss Minnie Love, formerly a Phila delphia municipal nurse, who lived vvlth her aunt, Mrs. Walter, J. Leltch, 137 South Fifty-ninth street. She went to Franco last May and Is stationed with a Yale University unit only seven miles back of tho American lino In United States Mobile Hospital N'o 3D. Her letters are filled vvlth stories of romance, pathos, adventure and excite ment, as welt as tho spirit of pride ln her countrj's valor and Joy ln her service.

There are six soldiers of this canton ment, four of them Pennsylvania boj-s, who have been strutting their way about this place for the last few days, deem ing themselves the real claps of the camp and wondering how -In tho world they ever got down to the hard task of eating army chow- out of tin mess kits and of trying to court sleep the while they rest their weary houra upon the regulation army cots The six Boldlers referred t- are Harry and Gcorgo Taylor, brothers and their fellow citizen, James Smith, of Mana unk; Wnrd Roberts, of South Bethle hem, Pa , Martin Maley and Al Green wald, of Baltimore. These six have been spoiled grievously spoiled by one Emerson C. Hairington, of Maryland, and his good wife, who presides so graciously as a hostess at the Executive Mansion at Annapolis. The Governor and his wife gave the sextet referred to such a taste of high life that they are wondering If they can feel like plain $30 a month doughboys any more. These six soldiers constitute a group of entertainers that are hard to beat in seven States. They were professional entertainers before they entered the army. Since coming to this place they have been giving concerts for the fel lows and helping to make life merry for them. The reputation of these men as enter, talners spread rapldlj-. Governor Har rington was told about them, and on invitation of Governor and Mrs. Har rlngton the six went to Annapolis a few days ago to give a concert for soldiers and sailors. Tltey made a big hit. After the show the Governor Invited the Meade troupe to dinner, at which the Meadeltes Lwere tven a chance to enjoy some of tne aisnes mat made Maryland famous, and remained a the executive mansion overnight. Next morning they were summoned to breakfast to find the table groaning down with the gifts of the Anne Arun del County fields and with other lus cious dishes of Maryland fame. They sat down to tablo with the Governor and Mrs. Harrington and tackled that meal the way the marines tackled Chateau Thlerrj". A day or two later the bunch was Invited to the home of a well-known Baltlmorean In Walbrook. There they gave a Jarz concert. With that concert over, they went down to Hlghlandtcwn, where they played for a barn dance given In a real barn In which there were horses and cows and mules, INDEPENDENT VOTERS LISTED Leaders Declare Enrollment Is Heavy Tuesday Next Chance Returns for the first registration day show that 96.000 electors qualified them selves to participate ln the gubernatorial election In November.

"Did T tell you," she continued? "about the boy who flies over and does stunts for us? Well, ho Is Lord, son of a man who heads a big Arm In New York. He Is only eighteen years old and about six feet six Inches tall a regular j-oung god. We have much to bo proud of In such young ohaps. "I savy a, strango sight yesterday a Frenchman In civilian clothe, Such a sight Is truly rare.

I often think how they would open their eyes If they could see all our boys, still In civilian clothes. But, of course, we need men back of us to help. It would never do to take tnem rrom ineir snip bulldlng." In another letter Miss Love told how American soldiers climbed through a train window to talk to them, because It was the first time they had heard American women's voices In nine months. In another she glimpsed a pretty Vo- manco of a sister nurse whose sweet heart was an aviator "somewhere In France," but whoso location she could not discover. Sweethearts Reunited One day an airman alighted near the hospital, and the nurse asked him If he knew Lieutenant Blank. "Why, he's my messmate," replied the aviator. "I'll tell him where j-ou are." A few dv later the sweethearts were reunited. And now tho aviator lover drops flowers, candy and love notes from the ky as he flies over the hospital. The vivid contrasts In the war zone seem to have Impressed Miss Love most The gay, vinrant dances ana panics are the only relief from the horrors about them. DIX MEN SHOW SKILL IN RIDING EXHIBTION Members of Remount Depot Participate in Various Events Camp Illx, Wrlghtstown, N. 14, J.. Sept. No more fitting celebration of "Hero Day" could have been staged than waa presented at DIx yesterdaj', when fully 20,000 visitors, officers and men gather ed on the athletic field near camp head quarters and- witnessed a stirring exhibi tion of riding by men from the Remount Depot nnd the Thirty-fourth division, and a physical drill by the machine gun ners who recently came from the South west. The affair was given under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus in honor of Major General Hugh L. Scott, the camp commander, and hardly had the performance begun when word was received of General Pershing's success Frank Wandle, director of the entertain ment, announced the fact to the as sembled throng and led by General Scott and Brigadier General J. A. Johnston, commander of the Thirty-fourth division, who was a gueBt of honor, the assembled throng gave three cheers for the Amer ican commander, whose birthday they were observing. The exhibition began with a rescue race In which Sergeant Holcombe and Privates Plch, Curry and Donnell par ticipated. This was followed by an exhibition of trick riding by Private Kajser and a fancy roping contest ln which Private Burns, a member of the Eleventh bat talion, and Private Simons participated. The next event was the tlelng of the single and double diamond hitch by Privates Barblan and Butler, of the Re mount Depot. The best ropers took part In an exhibition of otralght work and it was an easy matter for Sergeant Hol combe and Private Simons to catch aa many ns five horses and riders in one throw of the lariat. Private Selover and Simons gave an exhibition of riding astride two horses and then the remount program was ended with a polo game, tho players being mounted on mules. In the battalion competition, General Scott was the Judge. A silver loving cup, the gift of the Knights of Columbus, was awarded to Company A, 127th Ma chine Gun Battalion At the base hospital the new Y. M. C. A. hut was formally opened with ap propriate ceremonies Including a number of short addresses and a band concert. Judge J, Warren Davis presided yes terday afternoon at a special session of the Naturalisation Court held In the Liberty Theatre at which time 280 alien soldiers were made citizens of the United Statu.

Here Marvels at Rapidity With Which Recruits Become Soldiers Bu a Staff Correspondent Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., Sept. 14. "Tho rapidity with which new recruits are adjusting themselves to army life and acquiring military knowledge Is as tounding. Every man has""detached him self from civil occupations and Is doing his level best to learn, ln seven weeks, what other men were given six months to acquire " This Is the gist of a statement made today by Henry Wessels. Jr.. nejmevy of Judge Wessels, who arrived at this camp less than three weeks ago. .Wes sels gave up a law practloe to Join 'the armj', and Is novva member of Company F, Twentieth Training Battalion, Ret placement Camp. What he says In legard to the adapt; ability of the recruits from Philadelphia Is reflected every hour In the cpnducj; of the boys. Their eyes and hearts' are turned toward the Rhine. .That they will get there, or rather most of therm In a very short time, s certain, for they are qualifying as soldiers in exceptional time. Company F made up largely of Phlla. t delphlans, proved the accuracy ot these assertions today during a gas mask . drill. At Camp Meade the Llbeity Division, now ln France, did not receive gas mask training until the men had received nearly six months' seasoning. s Speedy With Gas Masks Company F. an organization lesp than three weeks old, has not' drily trained with the masks, but has dupli cated the best records made at Meade by the star performers In the. Liberty Division. i Uncle Sam, In order to prevent vvhole-t sale casualltlcs, has prescribed that hli soldiers must learn to adJUBt gas masks. ln six seconds after the order to don headgear Is given. . At Camp Meade, it required weeks of drilling before anything like that sort. of proflcency was attained and at tho time the Liberty Division sailed for France not more than 60' per cent of thaj soldiers could perform the stunt In that, time. i But this is what happened when Com-( pany F was drilling with gas masks to day. Lieutenant E W. Montell, a gas Instructor, stood In front of the com pany and after a two-mlnute.talk con cerning the necessity for speed, ordered the men to try for time records. It was their third day at this kind o train Ing and out of ninety-five 'menIn. lira company, thirty-eight adjusted their head pieces Inside of six seconds. Eighteen did it In , less than seven seconds and the rest required from-seven to ten seconds. These records, far superior to those made rt Camp Meade, mUBt not be con- sldercd bb a reflection upon the men 'In the Liberty Division, for the latter measured up with, the best ot troops.

Hlllard.-14B Ogontx avenue, and Edward Swartz, 441, Cortland street. "' v Rlvel voiced the sentiments of -other Phtladelphtans when hq said that the men are so anxious to Join flgntlng unltB that they are taxing the military training seriously. ''We don't consider this a picnic," began the Boldlef,. "but real work that must be do"ne. The quicker we are trained tho quicker we leave, and that explains our Intense earnestness. It Is hard work, but we are standing up under It and actually enjoying the experience." Briefly, tho course of training pre scribed for men who are selected -for overseas work covers a" period of"seven and eight weeks, and In that time the men nre disciplined, given rifle and bay onet training, put through severe .e tests and pushed through various prob lems In tactics. On the other side art additional six weeks' training and the men are ready to match their strentth arid military prowess with the best Ger man soldiers. Redure Training Course A year ago, when the first National Army troops swarmed into, .the canton ments, a majority of regular army of fleers figured that It would take -full V j ear to whip them Into efficient fighting J machines. They based their calculations . oh old-time methods, and failed to -take Into consideration tho adaptability of the American youth for soldiering. But old-time methods that applied to the army have been discarded, and what Is true of the war machine as a whole is. true ot the individual soldier. I A checking up of Italians today reveal,' ed that more than 6000 men of that race, are in training at this camp. To meet the recreational needs of these men th Y. M. C, A. has obtained the services of ihe Rev. V. B. Neyros, of Mlddleton. N-- Y. He haB established headquarters In the central "Y" hut and Is arranging a' series of Italian concerts.
