of Various Matters
Vl
HEAIl that tlio women out In Dryn
Muwr. .members ot tlio llcil Cross

'to help the doctors and nurses light In
fluenza, They havo mado dozen of pncii-
f "mania Jackets for thc Emergency Hos
pital which Is to bo opened nt Lancaster
Ill'n and aro nt the masks mid Jackets

Eleanor McDuy, who Is n trained nurse,
, has been doing the most wonderful volun
teer work. She has gone around union?
i the peopjo In Hryn Mnwr and vWtnlty and
has nursed and helped In every way. In
somo cases conditions havo been Indeed
appalling. .The regular visiting nurso who
la connected with tlio Social Service bu-
iS'rcaii, of tlio Uryn Muwr Hospital worked
hard that she has succumbed to tlio
disease, and Miss; McDay has been doing
her work too. Imagine) In one case sho
went to a house, and tho woman called
her In and begged .her to hell) her. There
she was half , sick herself and five little
children In nno room, all burning up with
Xever and Very ill with tho Influenza and
In the next tiny room a sixth chlliTTTiat
had. died that morning. It Is heart-rending.
But I firmly believe that much can bo done
by keeping cool and not getting "panicky."
Among tho women who are working so
hard nt tho lied. Cross arc Mrs. Walter
Chrystlo, whoso son liilncus, you remem
ber was killed out In the west early after
wo were In tl.e war, Mrs. Henry Karnshaw,
whoso husband Is In France, having gone

"over there" In tho remount department
and Mrs. Alexander, Hrown, Mrs. Smith's
daughter, whose husband, Aleck IJrown,
was killed in an aeroplane at Ksslngton
ehortly before our entrance Into the war.
Another woman Interested" i Mrs. George
Thayer, whoso husband. Captain Thayer,
has been down on, the border for the past
year. And thcr nro muny others wb.oso
sons, husbands or brothers are actively
engaged In tho service and who nro anx
ious to do everything they possibly can for
their fellow men oc women during this
eerlous .epidemic.
ISN'T it Interesting to hear of Catherine,
Porter's work over on the battle front?
She has been living In Washington of late
with her mother and sisters, tut left last
winter for France, whero she has been
doing Hed Cross work. The Porter girls
used to live here. General Porter married
MIS3 Rush and they had a home on Clinton
street, when Mrs. Codman, Catherine and
Bessie Porter were children. Several years
ago Margaretta was married to the much
loved Bishop Codman of Maine, but owing
t6 his untimely death became a widow In
a few months. Bessie's engagement to
Fred Fearing -of New York and this city
was announced this t.prliig. She has paid
several -visits hero since l'i:t tlmo ns thu
guest of Ml -. Nina Lea and of Given
Martin.
Cathcrino Is In the canteen where most
of our Philadelphia boys go and it must
be a comfort for them to find someone
from their own homo town. Florence Bill
ings of Boston and Harriet Itoger: of Gar
rison, N. V., aro also at tho canteen.
SPEAKING of tho Philadelphia boys
is'n't it sad about Bobblo Gamble? Ho
was killed In France. Ho was the son of
Dr. and Mrs. Gamble, of Haverford, and a
brother of Frances and Kleanor Gamble,
who are both such popular members of
the younger set on tho Main Lino. Kleanor
Is a great friend of Lois Cassatt Thayer,
you know. They came out the same year.
Bob, like his brother Charlie, was one of
tho most liked younger men 1n town and
Bob's death, glorious though It was, must
be a great sorrow to many of his friends
ns well as to his parents and relatives.
'It's a marvelous thing however to know
that one's son nnd brother has fallen fight
ing for such a cuuse. One doubts not tho
ultimate' happiness ot thos-i who fall
Ijravtly In battle. And none of these fine
boys will have died In vain, for the great
cause Is about won already, and oh! how
much we have to be thankful for.'"
rpHERE are so many wonderful deeds
' being; dono over there now,, that some
times you feel as If you were" part of a
very Improbable novel, filled with hair
breadth escapes, and perfectly Impossible
situations. It's sirt of a relief to find that
the men overseus are, after all, Just the
same boys on leave that they used to be
''fiver hero at school nnd college.
' I heard a funny thing about a certain
soldier, only he's a second lieutenant now,
fd the great Joy and pride of his family,
"who has gone through nil kinds of horrors
and wonders since he went over. Ho was
In Paris recently, on leave, and ho felt the
.'need of a new tfniform, to support tho new
bars on his shoulders. So ho and a brother
officer went to a certain large department
sforo and looked over the styles In O. D. To
their horror tho uniform cost a good deal
'more than the pockets of both youngsters,
for that's all they really are held. So,
with sudden Inspiration, and much glee
the Lieut, bought the uniform and charced
ItA iito his fatherwho lias a perfectly good
1 account with the Philadelphia branch of
he same store. And, filled with ndmlra
4Ion at his presence of mind, the other
Officer promptly decided that he, too, needed
"'new uniform and charged It to hts father.

MORE WOMEN NEEDED
FOR SAFE WAR PLANTS
Workers Wanted to Make Uni
forms, Gas Masks and Parts
,of Airplanes
A steady demand for women workers
comes from tho real war Industries, where,
though thousands of workers are already
giving tho best that Is In them, thousands
more are 'needed to turn out equipment for
the American army. Women aro needed for
making gas masks, In airplane factories, for
mending nnd sowing tho hundreds of thou
sands of uniforms to keep .tho men warm
through approaching winter. Nonu of these
occupations Is dungerousj theru Is no dan
ger ot explosions, yet the percentage of
women who are applying Is deplorably small.
This statement was given out at the
women's bureau of the United States em
ployment service.
The larger proportion of women npply for
clerlcnl positions, often with but a hazy Idea
of what they are. Excellent salaries are
offered for tho war work whether the woik
ers enme trained or untrained. Virtually all
the women who havo gone into tho new field)
of men's work have made good and are,
besides, gaining valuablo knowledge against
the Wme when tho business and industrial
world will ho shared equally by men i.nd
women.

The billiard room of Houston Hall, ut the

CHAPTER XVII (Coiitintie.l)
THE fanciful stor, the fabulous antiquity
claimed for the palaco before her. Increas
ed the sene of unreality and mystery lllllng
Una's mind ns she listened to Narva. The
Btory itself was not unlike others of the
kind, handed down from one generation to
another, explaining the origin ot somo an
cient South American race. In the telling
of It Narva, for tho first time, forgot her
reserve, and her simple eloquence, her ap
parent belief In the quaint old fable sho
was telling, added greatly to Its Impresslve
ness. And there stood the gteat palace; be
fore her. with its flying condor guarding
'forever the descendants of that mythical old
zlpat Una was unable to go back In Imagi
nation to that primeval past, especially ns
it had to do with a country and a people of
which she knew nothing. Hut the tuto Itself,
and the graco and beauty of the palace abcut
which It had been woven, reminded her f
much that sho had heard and lead In other
than Indian mythology and literature,
l'agennts from medieval legend, with their
phantom castles In haunted forests, engaged
her fancy as hho listened. For the moment
she half expected u see a troop ot Arthurian
knights. Intent upon somo mystic quest. Issue
forth from the stately portal, bringing with
them a flash of vivid light and movement
that as yet the picture lacked. A zlpa she
bad never seen, had never heard of before
nnd even a condor filled a placo in her lm
aglnatlfn that wns not muclj more real than
that occupied by the roc, the giant bird of
the Arabian tales. Hut neither Christian
knight nor pagan zlpa was here. Tin-'silence,
now that Narva bad finished her tale, was
profound. The murmur of voices, distinctly
heard a short time before, was hit III the
distance. The apparent Isolation of n bulld
Inc k rich In possibilities of usefulness, so
well preserved architecturally, was Its most
Inexplicable feature, Una was almost per
suaded that the palace before her was pnln
tablted. abandoned. It It oelongrd. as Narva
said, to the dim past of a vanished race. It
Btood now merely as a monument to forgot
?mi greatness. Or did It still servo as a
refuge, a prttectlon. to the descendants Of
that condor-born zlpa of Narva's egend?
Then, suddenly, as I'na was thinking of
these ancient, far-off things, from one of the
wines of the palace there rose the clear, hlg.i
notes of a woman's voice in a melody not
unlike the one Anltoo and his band had used
for a marching song. Hut Anltoo's song had
something of martial swing and vigor In It :
th s a though wild In spirit, permeated by
te chanting, walling quality characteristic,
of primUve music, thrilled with .trains of
passionate tenderness unlike anything Una
"d heard. The words of the ong were not
distinguishable nor were they needed to con.
vey the theme Inspiring tho invisible ringer,
Tlio latter seemed tn pass from joy to de-'
miklr rising again to a solemn pitch of Inten
sUv that partook of the dignity and earnest
ness of religious rhapsody. A pagan priest.
nreldlng over ancient rites from which tho
Faithful expect a miracle, might thus havo
modulated the botes of his Incantation. As
in nil music of the kind, he emotion Por-.
trayed was simple unmixed with the shad
ings and Intellectual complexities that play
bo important a part In modern song. Tho
voice Interpreting: this emotion showed no
Kreat degree of cultivation. Unskilled In the

upon a natural, unrestrained sincerity, ep.
itched by n birdlike clearness and resonance,
for Its effects. Its plalntlveness. from' the

pealed deeply to Una.

Una, still absorbed by. the weird beauty
of tho scene and the strange legends with
which It was connected, scarcely noted the
reiterated warning. Her own spirit kindled
with friendly warmth for -the singer whoso
mingled Joys and sorrows were so eloquently)
expressed. She followed Narva almost un
consciously, eager, and yet half afraid to
reach the climax of their adventure j fearful,
likewise, lest by some misstep or Imprudence
of theirs the spell of muslo should be broken.

Interior of the palace. That some kind ot
itieous substance tilled these openings was
evident from the Mashes of light reflected on
their surface Considering tho antiquity ot
the building, however, and the unknown
methods nnd materials employed by lis
architect, It was more likely that the sub

known to these Andean cavemen. liven
though the Hrst zlp.i was the reputed off
spring of stars or condors, It was not likely
that In building his iwlaco thousands of
years ago to quote Narva's estimate he
had been able m lit It with modem Im
provements. Owing to the thickness of these windows,
thetefore, ll a. Imisivslble to m.ilin out
anything of the interior of the apartments of
tho palace for which they weie, appuiently.
Intended to serve for light.
A close npproach. right under the palaco
walls, revealed nothing more than could he
seen at a distance; and as Narva avoided
the great central entrance, It appeared to
Una that the mystery which so fascinated
her was to remain unsolved. An abrupt angle
in the building, however, brought them sud
denly within a little portico, extendlnc he
tween two massive towers Jutting out from
the inahi structure, the existence of which
came as it complete surprise. On the side of
this portico away fiom the palaco clung a
vine of pale green foliage, starred with white
nnd crimson (lowers similar to those in the
queen's garden, forming with its delicato
festoons n cloistered way that had n subtle
attractiveness amidst the Imposing lines and
columns of the huge edifice rising above It.
Here Narva and her companion paused,
listening lo the wild melody coming to them
lu a clear rush of sound. At the other end
of the portico, leaning against the side ot a
long latticed window standing partly open,
they could see the singer, her face turned to
tho apartment within, one arm encircling a
lyre-shaped Instrument tho strings of which
were lightly touched by the fingers of her
right hand. The long w hite drapery In which
she was clothed scarcely stirred with the
movement from her playing, while tho up
ward poise of her head, with Its masses of
dark hair flowing downward over her shoul
ders. Indicated the rapt Intensity with which
she voiced the passion of her song. Ap.
pnrently she was alone. The semlohscurlty
of tho apartment, however, at the entrance
to which sho stood, might have screened ef
fectively from an outsider any one who was
wUhln.
Vor the first few moments thn nppearanco
of Una nnd Narva at tho far end of the por
tico Was unnoticed. Then, ns the music died
away, the singer turned and slowly approach,
ed them, her manner showing neither sur
prise nor displeasure at their presence. As
her glanco fell upon them Narva made a'low
obeisance with a gesttue evincing the most
profound self-abasement. In graco and
majesty of bearing the being whom she thus
salnled was worthy her homage. Tall and
nobly proportioned, sereno of countenance
and of a faultless beauty, tho deferenco of
those about her seemed a natural trlbuto to
her queenllness, That high tank belonged
0 her by right was suggested by a Bold
coronet encircling her head. In the center
of this coronet gleamed an emerald of a size
and purity raro even to llogota, tho land of
emeralds. An engaging womanliness, how
ever, softened the dignity of her carriage, tho
luster of this emblem of her royalty To Nar
va, prostrate before her. she stretched out a
hand with affectionate eagerness, .speaking
to her, at the same time, in a tonguu un
intcJilglbler to Una.
Saluting her again with the utmost rever
ence, the aged sibyl apparently answered her
questions. She then continued a volnblo rela.
Hon, tho main purpose of which, as Una sUr
mlsed, had to do with the finding ot strangers
in the cave. During this recital the being
whom Narva addressed regarded Una In
tently, her gazfe manifesting an Interest she
was at no pains to conceal. Having heard
Narva to the end she slowly approached Una

HOUSEWORK DECLARED
PATRIOTIC PROFESSION
Y. W. C. A. Worker Devises
Document That Helps Solve
Prohlcm of Servants
Cooking, sweeping, dusting and general
housework now promise to come Into their
own, not as lowly tasks to be performed by
humble drudges or mllltntit biddies, but as
fine arts, supcillnu arts and arts which can
be appreciated by all mankind fiom the cra
dle to the grave. At least this Is the way
things look from a document drawn up by
Miss Anncttu Dleckman, newly appointed
Industrial worker for the eastern field com
mittee of the Young Women's Christian As
sociation. Here Is the way the document reads:
"Itepoivrd, That It Is Just as patriotic for
u girl to work ot domestic service In' a
homo as It Is to make ammunition or to
enter a war Industry"
And It Is rumorrd that at a recent meet
ing of the Industrial lilrls' Club Council
several girls unflinchingly set their hands
und seals thereto. '
At the same meeting It was pointed out
lh.it for patriotic reasons girls should work
where they were preded most.
It Is- firmly believed that this will bilng
democracy right Into the very heart of the
home ; and there are many other advantages
to consider. For example. If you should
nourlsli prlvati- hut harassing doubts as to
the culinary ability of your college-bred
cook, you will optimistically ronslder the edi
fication to be reaped In the conversation with
which she will decorate tho evening meal:
for naturally you will want her to dine with
you.
Many women have already nuletly, without
any vulgar display ot patriotism or, for that
matter, without realizing that they wero pa
triotic, have gone down to their kitchens nnd
mastered tho Intricacies and temperament nt
the onion in order to leleasc Bridget for the
war.

(I'rggy and lltllji Ilrlgium find them-seli-r.i

CHAPTER V
1'cRgy Uw llcr Dagger
GAY muslo urged the lilpsy chlldicn on
lu their dance. Thu musicians weie
three old gipsies, one with n violin, one with
an accordion, and one with a zither, tin
these strangely assoited Instruments they
produced wild fantastic melodies that
Peggy's feet tould not resist. She and
Billy Belgium were carried Into the dance
before they knew It. It was very queer,
very giddy, ery gay. Peggy felt that sho
could dance forever and forever.
The music told ot sunbeams playing In the
woods at dawn, of bteezes rippling through
thn leaves, of tiny whirlwinds sweeping
across tho hummer fields, of gales raging at
sea, of 'wintry blasts roal Ing through tho
tree-tops. And as the music told Its chang
ing btory, Peggy danced In harmony.
Hut once again came the warning voice
this lime from .utiec above the camp lire:
"Beware the gipsy charm'
H threatens doleful lrirni."
Now Peggy saw who was warning her. It
was .lodge itvvl. He was seated In the.
shadows, but the lllcker of the thellght re
vealed him for ,i moim-nt.
"Come on. Judge Owl, dance with us,"
sang Peggy. "Don't be an old croaker
life's all joy and gladness."
"See the old owl! Shoot the old owl."
shrieked tho gipsy children, hurling stones

Peggy saw who was warning her.
Juiljc Owl
It was
nnd sticks at him. Ptggy, to her great sur
prise, found herself doing tho saino tiling.
"Oh. Princess Peggy, I'll have to get you
out of this awful t-pell In spite of yourself,"
hooted .lodge Owl sadly, as he dodged a
large stick which she aimed ut his head.
Then abruptly he disappeared.
Around and around danced the gipsy chil
dren In a circle, with Peggy and Billy Bel
glum In the uiidst of them. Suddenly a big
brown object Hashed past Peggy's head. She
dodged quickly and ns she did bo, bho saw
tho object land In tho long hair of a hand
some, princely-looking gipsy boy just ahead
of her. The boy gnvv a scream anil whirled
around. Tho brown object mounted quickly
Ijjlo the air, but l'cg-y saw that It was
Judge Owl.
"Von pulled my hair," screeched the gipsy
boy at Peggy.
"I didn't pull your hair." protested Peggy,
but sho didn't say who did. She wasn't
going to tell on Judge Owl.
"You dhl !" screamed the boy. I'll teach
you to pull my hair!" And with that be
banged Peggy light 111 the eye with his list.
Peggy was astonished and hurt. Never
before lu her life had she been punched in
the eye. She saw stars and ever thing stein,
ed In a whlil around her. Befor she count
recover heiself, tho oung gipsy smashed his
first Into her other eye. Things spun uround
dizzier than before. Thtough her dizziness
sho saw u jilting tornado break loose, hitting
tho gipsy lad in a fury and sending him
tumbling head over heels. The young tornado
was Billy Belgium. In a minute he was
fighting all tho gipsy hoys and more than
holding his own.
Now Peggy discovered that the punches
she had received had driven away tho gipsy's
charm, Sle was no longer under the spell,
Mho saw things as they weie. Tho glamor
disappeared from tho gipsy camp. It was no
longer n royal train. It was just n squalid
lot of gaudy tents ami time-worn vans. The
gipsies were not lords and ladles. They
were a sordid, frowsj, evil-looking lot. The
gipsy children wero not princelings, hut a
noisy, quarrelsome, Ill-mannered, unkempt
crew. Peggy felt a quick revulsion toward
them and toward the whole place.
"Hun, run, run!" hooted Judge Owl from
tho tree above,
"Hun," echoed Billy Belgium, seizing one
of her hands and dragging her toward the
woods,
"Stop!" roared Vlg.i, rushing up and seiz
ing the children, one In each powerful hand.
"Von are captives I AVo are holding you for
ransom !"
A thrill of fear shot through Peggy, She
remembered the dagger Tlrzah had given
her. Swinging lior hand back, she brought
the dagger down with full force on the arm
lliat grasped her,
AVIth a yell of pain nnd rage Vlga let go.
Billy dashed for the woods, dragging Pegi,y
behind him. Vlga leaped after them, only
to be brought up short by Koland, who, knite

COURSE FOR TEACHERS
AT UNIVERSITY OPENED
Provost Sets at Rest Rumors That
Usual Opportunity Is
Not Offered
Provost Smith, of the t'nlversl.y of Penn
sylvania, today announced that In spite of
all rumors to the contrary, the college
courses1 for teachers had opened on schedule
time. September 27, and that the courses
would I hi conducted as usual. Due, probably,
to the misunderstanding as to whether the
course would be held tho enrollment In this
department has fullen oft from 400 to 200.
Tlfesu courses, which were established In
1SD2, have been most useful to hundreds of
teachers of Philadelphia and vicinity who
have wished to take work In Kngllsh and the
languages, history, psychology, biology,
chemistry, physics and other subjects. Many
are working for degrees, which will help
then In securing promotion In their respective
branches.
While the courses are planned primarily
for teachers, they are also open to any qHall
lled persons who wish to pursue either spe
cial work In Individual subjects or to work
for a degree. The courses aro given usual
ly In the late afternoons, evenings nnd Sat
urday mornings.
It seems remarkable that with so many
persons coming to Philadelphia for war work
of various kinds a larger number have not
availed themselves of this opportunity to
Improve their knowledge in special branches.
If any persons have such n desire there Is
still time to enroll, as registration for thlsi
department will bo held open all this month.
