HAVE you heard about tlio "Ten Box"?
It's tho cutest Idea. It's a mlntuturo
tea room uhlch lias been built at tho
Crossways and Montgomery avenue In
Merlon. And It Is made to look like a tea
box on tho outside. It's been built for a
eort of stopping place for passing motor
ists, and there will be tea and toast and
other light refreshments "on tap" as It
were.
Tho entire piocceds from the sale of
refreshments will go to the benefit of re
turning Army and Navy men. Mrs. Howard
Bremer is chairman of a committee which

WHAT do you know about the name
Charllo Morgan has given to tho
pageant for the Charity Ball "Tho Eves of
American Youth?" And bless you the eyes
are to be represented by no fewer than
four hundred members of our joungcr set,
who will dance and gesticulate through
a fantastic medley of patriotism and grace
sufficiently to feast tho eyes of "old" as
well as "joung."
Sinco tho war is virtually over it has
been decided to turn tho Charity Ball pa
geant Into a sort of peace celebration and
theio will be a spectacular presentation ot
Victory In every detail.
Thank goodness Susie Ingersoll "Bullitt
won't have to go walking around as sn
did last j ear as Belgium. Wasn't It awful?
In tho midst of all that brightness and
gaycty stalked Mrs. Bullitt in black from
head to foot, and garments of woe troll
ing off from her head, hands and feet. Sho
was so pretty too.
The chaperones for each group aro hard
at it asking one hundred girls to dance.
Think of it, I'll bet many of the popular
ones will be asked to be In all four groups.
It's a question of who asks first gets 'em,
I guess.
The women who have chaise of the
groups aro Mrs. Cap Hacker, Mrs. Moirls
Clothier, Mrs. Emott Hare, Mrs. Ben
Rush, Mrs. Ned Ilsley, Mis. John W. Dray
ton, Mrs. John C. Groome, Mrs. Not man
MacLeod and Miss Edith Bent. Uy the
way tho ball's on tho 2Gth, you know, tho
day after Christmas.
DID you know that Jack Diexcl had
been very ill at the Bryn Manr Hos
pital? He had tho "llu" at first and then
complications biought on typhoid fever.
Ho married Bessie Thompson last Apill,
in New Yoik and they stayed aiound in
this pait of the countty for a while,
Intending to go out west to Jack's lanch,
but the .last I heaid he had been ill and
had been In the hospital for five or six
weeks. Mrs. Drexel, his mother who was
'Mtos Alice Tioth of this city, came on last
iweek to see him at the Hospital. She was
out in California in the spilng and was
taken ill theio and tiierefoie was unable
to attend Jack and Bessie's wedding, which
was a very pietty, but quiet affair, as
those were war times. Doesn't it seem
wonderful to say there aren't war times?
Somehow you can't adjust jourself to
thinking In. "after tho wai" terms, can
you?
The latest bulletins about Jack were
that he will soon be ablo to ho home. I
Imagine, however, they will wait some time
before going to the far west. It takes a
good while to got over typhoid.
WHEN you talk about tho war and It's
being over, don't you feel as if you
could bo suddenly frightfully extravagant
and go to the theatro every minute and
eat box after box of candy and fudge and
sundaes? And you know we really have to
help them over there to eat more than
ever. Still, you do feci that way, even if
you don't put It into practice, don't you?
I think small Adelo who was visiting
friends of mine with her mother on Mon
day put it aptly. She said, "Mamma, Is
it really peace?" "Yes, deatle, it is,"
"Oh!!! Can we waste food again?" So
there you aie.

CROWELL INDORSES
WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
Assistant to Secretary Baker Ap
proves Crusade to Raise
$170,500,000
The Vnltcd War Woi'c Campaign, now- in
full swing throughout tho count! y, today re
ceived tho hearty Indorsement of Benedict
Crow ell, Ass'staut Secretary of War.
The campaign Is for 170,500,000, which
will bo expended by various organizations
doing welfare work nmong the American
fighting men
There will be no appenl for funds In Phila
delphia, and adjoining counties, which already
have contributed their sharo through tho
War Chest. However, many subscriptions to
the general war work fund havo been made
by Individuals In this city
Mr. Crow ell's statement, mado public
here, follows:
"It Is the profound wish or tho nation that
the United States army bo as well cared for
as Is humanly iwsslblo. To this end tho
Government Is sparing neither money nor ef
fort Its care extends not only to material
things, liut also to those Influences which
make for high morale and for character. Wo
look forward to the day when ou. sons will
return, v Ictorlous, sound of body and clean
of soul.
"The unification of the seven iccognlzed
war relief organizations for the united war
work campaign will not only simplify Urn
raising of necessary funds for the military
welfare at home and abroad, but It will also
promotu closer co-operation among all men
of high ideals and increase civilian gooa
will. Tho drive has tho Wnr Department's
heartiest Indorsement. It offers an inspir
ing opportunity for tho people at home to
help."
PRESBYTERIAN PLANS
OUTLINED AT DINNER
Work of New Era Movement
Explained To-
night
The work of tho new era movement of tho
Presbyterian Church will be outlined at a
dinner meeting tonight at the Btllcvue-St rat
ford. Alba B Johnson will preside. The speakers
w 111 Include the Rev. A. J. Brovj n. secretary of
the Presbjterlan Board ot Foreign Missions;
the Row J. A. Marquis, secretary ot the Board
of Home Missions, and the Rev. William
Hiram Foulkes, general secretary of the
new era movement, all of New York.
The movement was organized by the ihurchf.
at Its' last uenerai Assemoiv in i emmrnu-.,
Ohio, to marshal all of Its resources under
allied strategy. It Is the church's Plan of
putting its whole self, united, behind its
whole work: therefore It Is not an extra
agency or adjunct of the Presto terlan Church,
It is the church Itself. It simply a prac
tical step toward a better co-ordination. In
keeping with the spirit of the times, to
secure for the church a position of spiritual
leadeishlp In the woild
This co-ordination affects all of the en
terprises of the church, envangellsm, educa
tion, missions and financial administrations
Tho movement displaces no established
agency or board of the church. It simply
draws all Into closer unity of action, under
a common leadership and looks out finally
toward tho larger union of ull evangelical
churches.
Heietofore the church has raised its
budgets under ten separate boards It will
raise Its budgets now under one presentation.
Under the movement the church has ap
propriated fl. 000,000 to be expended for tho
reparation and cducitlon of Presbyterian bojs
returning from the front, nnd J500.000 as a
gift for stricken Protestant churches In
France, Belgium and Italy.
WILL HONOR HEROES
WITH VICTORY TREES
Living Memorials to Mark Route
of Highways for Motor
Vehicles
Motor highways to be marked with memo
rial trees for the soldier dead is the plan
being urged by the American Forestry Asso
ciation as a suitable way to preserve the
memory of the heroes of the war. P. S.
Rldsdaje, secretary ot tho association, says
that the plan Is being taken up by many
cities and towns and the movement Is as
suming country-wide proportions The Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs has taken
up the suggestion for the Lincoln Highway.
"A victory oak or a victory elm would
certainly be the most appropriate way to
remember our soldier dead," said Charles
Lathrop Pack, president of tho Forestry As
sociation. "The motor has played n big part
In the war, and 1 would bo a very fine thing
for the highway associations to take up this
plan. Wood, too, has plnyed a big part In the
war, and our stocks must be replenished.
If each State will co-operate In this move
ment a living, nge-long lesson can be taught
the coming generations as to the beauties
and value of forestry."
A letter has been sent to the Governor
of each State asking his co-operation.

CHAPTER VIII (Continued)
WH DROVI3 tluough a white gate Into a
little drive which brought us up in float
of n long, low villa Neithci father nor son
had opened their lips to mo during the drive
from the station, and I had not ventured
to put a qucst'on to either of them; but I
knew we wele In Potsdam. The little sta
tion In the woods was Wild-Park, 1 sus
pected, the private station used by the Km
ptrlor on his frequent journevs and situated
in tin grounds of the new palace. All the
otllclals of the Prussian touit have villas
nt Potsdam, though why I had been biought
theie in connection wlt'i an affair that must
surely rather interest the Wllhelm-Stras''e or
the police presidency was more than I could
fathom.
There was a frightful scene In the hall.
Without ans warning, the general turned on
the orderly who had opened the door and
screamed abuse at him.
Can-el ! G ! Sheepshead '" ho roared, his
face and shining pate deepening their Ver
million hue. "Do I give orders that they
shall bo forgotten? What do jou mean.'
You ass Ho put his white-gloved
hands on the man's shoulders and shook him
until the fellow's teeth must have rattled in
his head Tho orderly, vvMto to the II P.
l'ung limp In tho old man's grasp, mutui
Inc npoluglis "Ach! Kcellenz ! Excel
lent will excuse me. " "
It was a revolting spectacle, but it did
not make the least Impi elision on the son,
who, putting down his ip and guatcoat
nnd unhooking ids sword, led me Into a kind
of study. "These orderllts aio such thick
heads I" ho said.
"Rudl! Rudl !" a hoars?, strident voice
sci earned from the hall. The lieutenant ran
out.
"You've got to take the fellow to Berlin
tonight Tho message was here all the time
that nunrskull lleiniich forgot It. And
we've got to keep the fellow here till then!
An outrage, having tho house used as a bar
rack for a rascally detective!" This much
I heard, as the door had been left open.
Then It closed and I heard no more.
As I had heard this much, there was a
certain Irony In their Invitation to dinner sub
sequently conveyed to me by the young
Uhlan. There was nothing for it but to
accept. I knew- I was caught deep In the
meshes of Prussian discipline, every one had
his orders and blindly can led them out,
from tho garrulous major on the frontier
to this preposterous Excellenz, this Imperial
aide-de-camp of Potsdam. I was already a
tiny cog in a great machine. I should have
to revolve or be crushed.
His Excellency left me In no doubt on this
point When I was ushered Into his study,
after a much-needed wash and a shave, he
received mo standing and said polnthlank
"Your orders are to stay hero until 10
o'clock tonight, when you will bo taken to
Berlin by Lieutenant Count von Boden. I
don't know you; I don't know jour business;
but I have received certain orders concerning
you which I intend to carry out. For that
reason you will dine with us here. After
you have seen the person to whom you nie
to bo taken tonight, Lieutenant Count von
Boden will accompany you to the railway
station at Spandau, where a special tralu
will be In readiness in which ho will con
duct you back to tho frontier. I wish you
clearly to understand that the lieutenant is
responsible for seeing these orders carried out
and will use all means to that end. Have I
mado myself clear?"
The old man's manner was Indescribably
threatening. "This Is the machine we aro
out to smash." I had eald to myself when
I saw him savnglng his servant in the hall,
and I repeated the phrase to myself now.
But to the General I said; "Perfectly,
Your Excellency !"
"'Then let us go to dinner," said tho Gen
eral. It was a nightmare meal. A faded and
shrunken female, to whom I was not Intro
duced some kind of relative who kept house
for the General, I supposed was the only
other person present. She never opened
her lips save, with eyes glazed with terror,
to give some whispered Instruction to the
orderly anent the General's food or wine.
We dined In a depressing room with dark
brown wallpaper decorated With dusty stags'
antlers, an enormous green-tiled stove domi
nating everything. The General and his son
ate stolidly through the courses whllo the
lady pecked furtively at her plate. As for
myself, I could not cat for sheer fright
Every nerve In my body was vibrating at
the thought of tho evening before me. If
I could not avoid the Interview, I was reso
lutely determined to give Master von Boden
the sIId rather than return to the frontier
empty-handed. I had not braved all these
perils to be packed off home without, at least,
making an attempt to And Francis, Besides,
I meant, ft I could, to get tne otner nan
I of that document. ,.,.,,
I There was some quite excellent Khlno vrlne.
and, I drank plenty f lfc So dW ttw'dwu
mssammmnfsissEm.W!iimiiimn m
eial with tho result that, when the veins
Malting purple from his temples proclaimed
t'at he had eaten to rtpletlcn, his temper
set mod to havo Improved Ho unbent suffi
ciently to present me with quite the worst
clgai I have ever smoked.
I smoked it In silence while father and
son talked shop Tho female had faded
aw.ij Roth men, I found to mv surprise,
vveie fuiltius and bllti r opponents ct Hln
donhuig, as I have since learned most of
th old school of tho Prussian anny are.
They spoke little of England, their thoughts
st cnicil to be ctntertd on Russia as the
arch-enemy They pinned their faith on Fal
kenhajn and Mickensen They had nc
woidt, '-trong enough In their denunciation
uf Ilndcnburg, whom they always referred
to as "the Drunkaid" "der Sauffer."
Nor were they sparing of criticism of what
tiny called the K. User's "weakness" in let
ting him rise to power.
The humming of a car outside bioke up
cur gathering. Remembering that I was but
a humble servant before tills great military
luminal v, 1 thanked the General with due
servility for ills hospitality Thin tho Count
and I went out to the car and piesently
drove forth into the night,
We entered litrlln from tho west, as It
seemed to me, hut then struck oft In a
southerly direction and were soon In the
eommeiclal qiuiter of tho city, nil but de
serted at that hom save for the trains Th"n
I caught a glimpse of lamps it fleeted In
water, and the next moment tho car had
stopped on a bridge ovtr a canal or river
My compinlon sprang out nnrl hurried me
to a small gate in an Iron railing inclosing
a vast ctllllcti looming black In the night
whllo tho car moved off into the darkiiei-
The gate was open. Half a dozen vards
fiom It was a small, slender tower with a
pointed roof jutting out from the corntr of
the building In the towel was a tionr which
5 iclded easily to mv companion's viguiou-,
push as a clock somewhere within the build
ing beat a double stroke h ilf-p.ist ten
The door led Into a little vestibule bril
liantly lit with electric light There a man
was wailing a fine, upstanding bearded fel
low In a k'nd of gieen hunting costume
"So, Paver!" said the young Uhlan, "Here
Is tho gentleman I shall be at tho west tn.
franco afterward You will bring him down
yourself to the car "
"Javvohl, Herr Graf" answered th man
In green, and the lieutenant vanished through
the door Into the night
A terrlfjlng. nn Incredible suspicion that
had ovei whelmed me directly I stepped out
of tho car now came surging through mv
train That vest, black edifice that slender
tower at the corner did I not know them?
Mechanically, I followed the man in gieen
Mv suspicions deepened w'lth evtry step In
a little, they became certainty. Up a shal
low and winding stair, along a long broad
corridor, hung with rich tapestries, the pol
ished paiqutt glistening faintly In the dim
light, through splendid suites of gilded apart
ments with old pictures and splendid furnl
tlrd here a lackey with powdered hair
j awning on a landing, there a s,enti In field
gray Immobllo before a door I was
In tho Berlin Schloss.
The castle seemed to sleep. A hushed si
lence lay over all Ever where lights wcree
dim, staircases wound down Into emptiness,
corridors stretched away Into dusky solitude'
Now and then an attendant In evening dress
tiptoed past us or an officer vanished round
a corner, noiselessly save for a faint clink
of spurs.
Thus we Unversed, as It seemed to me
miles of silence and of twilight, and all the
time my blood hammeicd at my temples and
my throat grew dry as I thought of the
ordeal that stood before me. To whom was
I thus bidden, secretly, In the night?
Wo were In a broad and pleasant passage
now, paneled In cheerful light-brown oak
with red hangings. After the desolation of
the State apartments, this comfortable cor
ridor had at least the appearance of leading
to tne habitation of man A giant trooper
n field-gray with a curious sliver gorget
suspended round his neck by a chain paced
up and down tho passage, his Jackboots mak
ing no sound upon tho soft, thick carpet with
which tho floor was covered
The man In green stopped at tho door.
Holding up a warning hand to me, ho bent his
head and listened. There was a moment of
absolute silence. Not a sound was to be
heard in the whole castle. Then the man
In green knocked nnd was admitted, leaving
me outside.
A moment later, tho door swung open
again. A tall, elegant man with gray hair
and that Indefinite air of good breeding that
you find in every man who has spent a life
at court came out hurried'y. He looked pale
and harassed.
On seeing me, he stopped short.
"Doctor Grundt? Where 1 Doctor Grundt?"
ho asked and his eyes dropped to my feet.
He started and raised then to my face
The trooper had drifted out of earshot. I
could sea him. Immobile is a statue, stand
ing at the end of the corridor. Except for
him and us, the passage was deserted.
Again the elderly ma'i spoke and his voice
betrayed hia anxiety

VV Pcgg, when Queen (rstnl told her
sho must prevent Blooey and Bllz?y swoop
ing down upon the bus.v earth
"You know better than I," tinkled the
Queen, ' but bo quick, quick '"
S.i ing that she and Freezer picked Pt gg
up and pushed her right Into tho periscope
'Vv hish-sh-sh '" went Piggy through the tune
before she could open hi r mouth to protest
And In a second theie sho wns In tho dun
geon with the two Giants
They were so busv that they did not bco
her. Blooey was blowing himself up with
a bellows, ju-t as if he wire a balloon. Bll.iy
had in his mouth .i lube from a tank market)
"Liquid Air" and was tilling himself just
like an automobile getting gasoline.
"Oh, ho'" ronnd Blooey, "I'll tangle up
tho wholo United States with swirling snow
drifts The people will be a week digging
themselves out. What fun''
"Wheo-ee1" wheezed Itlirzv. 'I'll nip
ovciy IK ing thing until It hides in terror
from my blast or freezes up solid' What
fun ' '
"1 II stop nil the coal tialns first." roared
Blooe.v 'That will smash business all to
plcics '
"And I'll zip along with a cold wave that
will cm I their toes. Then we'll go soutn
and sweep the orchards hare What fun'
Whec-ef !" whistled Bliz.v.
Peggy grew indignant as sho heaid their
boasts. She forgot that the were Giants
To her they nov appeared as two monster,
prankish boss, setting out on a mischievous
laid
"It will bo n cruel, mean trick," she cried
"ou two lazy Giants ought to be ashamed
of jourselveH talking of such pranks when
cveiy pile is so hus
Blooey and Bllzzy looked nrounil in aston
ishment At first tliev couldn't hi o her
and their ejes swept the dungeon up ami
down and till about beforo they found hit
Then Blooey let out a roar tint shook the
wulls, while Bllzzy whistled like a In e -.iini
"lln, ho, whom havo we here" hlu-i.ud
Blocie.
hho looks like a human. Ill freeze he),
threatened Bllzzy.
You'ro big enough to know better than to
lush around destroying things It's a lot
moio fun building things up," argued Peggy
"Think bow much suffering, and loss jou'll
cause bending a. blizzard down uiiou the
earth "
"You're an impudent meddler," whistlid
Bllzzy. He blew an icy breath at Peggy
and instant! tho misty air of which she
was composed turned Into frost. But it didn't
hurt Peggy a bit, and the effect was simply
to make her mole visible something like a
ghost of her own self, but a very pretty ghost
of dazzling whiteness
' Oh, ho ! Isn't sho a beauty '" roared
Blooey With th.it he puffed out his cheeks
and blew And he blew so strongly that
his breath burst tho walls of the dungeon
asunder and sent Peggy fljing far, far out
Into space
As she whirled along she found herself
ainld "a multitude of Snow Elves joyfully
dancing tow aid the earth But tho joy of the
Elves turned Into fear as they saw her.
"It's Princess Peggy," they chorused "She
can't tamo tho Cloud CJiants. Woe, woe to
the earth "
"Ho, ho! Tills blizzard Is going to bo a
record-breaker' roared tho voice of Blooey
far above
"Whee-ee ' Whce-te ' I'll mako the bottom
droii out of tho thermometer," shrieked
Bllzzy.
Peggy, looking back, saw the two Giants
tear out of their dungeon and hurl them
selves against one of the Cloud storehouses
They burst It to pieces and with mighty
blasts sent the stored up Snow Imps sweep
ing in a. blind, swirling mass toward the
earth
"htop the Giants. Pi incess Peggy' Save
vour fellow humans'" eried Queen Cr.".tal,
appearing amid the ruins of tho storehouse
I'egff gave ono look toward the busy world
below, with Its heaped up trains of coal and
food and supplies that would bo quickly
snowed under if the Giants were not halted;
then sh darted swift as an arrow upwaid to
where Blooey and Bllzzy wero turning their
prankish frenzy toward another of the many
cloud storehouses, she was determined now
to tame them.

Mauv iinnuii havo mistakenly assumed
that tho need for relief work ended with thS

todav "Tlili makes tho situation doubly

How great an enor It Is to supposo that;
