She Goes to Petm Cottage for Tea A Cause for Thanks THANKSGIVING DAT I And svch a Thnk8Rivlnic Day! When you ttitnk of last year, with some of our boys having just gone over and the time we wer having to set their packages off for Christmas, and now to thtnlc that some of them are coming back. Isn't It won derful? But alas! also to think that some are not coming back and never will come back. Still at least their dear ones have the great consolation that they died not In vain, that their brave young lives were Blven In a great and splendid cause and that that cause was won by the giving of their llve3 together with the" millions of Trench and English who died to make this world a safe place for us. Have we not Indeed much to be thankful for? Let us not forget that In the yearn to come. Bright, brave young lives were given for us, and the least we can do will be to make our lives as brave and as bright as we can for thoso who are left to us. THERE will be a number of Thanks giving: dinners, family dinners princi pally, and daughters and sons will be going home with their children to dine with their parents. Wouldn't It be funny to live In a country where they did not have Thanlssglvlng Day? Now, If you were over In England and Francethat !, If you were English or French November .28 would mean nothing In your young life. Neither will it for you next year, for that matter, but for different reasons. First, the English and French haven't a thanksgiving day; and second, u It Is a movable ifeast, It won't come for us on the 28th net year. All of which shows that I have a most complicated mind and talk' at random, at times. Oh, only at times, I assure you! You see, my contention Isn't much any how, for this year, with so many Ameri can men abroad In both England and Franco, there will be Thanksgiving bay, for the boys will just have It, no matter where they are. To come back to Philadelphia. Among the Thanksgiving festivities will be the dinner Mrs. Rundle Smith will give for Ethel Newbold and her fiance, Captain George, Vaughan Strong, at her home, 919 Clinton street. Ethel Is such a pretty girl. You know she Is the daughter of Mrs. George Newbold, of St. Martin's, and a sister of Katherine Newbold and Mary Newbold. Her uncle, Mr. T. Maxwell Meryweather, married Mary Benson sev eral years ago. Mrs. Newbold and Mrs. Smith wro both Meryweathers. A cousin of Ethel's, Tom Meryweather, who Is a lieutenant and used to be In the First City Troop, was recently on the casualty list, wounded. Mrs. George C. Thomas, of SOI Spruce street, will give a dinner, too. Her guests will include Malsle Stewart, Caro lyn Valentine, Catherine Knight, Georgo C. Thomas Remington, U. S. N and Don ald Boss. Mrs. George C. Thomas, Jr., has gone to South Borough to spend the holiday with her son, George, 3d, who can't get home; I suppose on account of the holiday they all had during the flu. He's at St. Mark's. HAVE you heard that John Walton, 2d, has been commissioned a second lieu tenant In the military police? He waa with the 103d Engineers, you know, and was, with a number of others, transferred to the military police under our own Major Groome. Jack's family received a cable recently from his captain stating that he had been made a second lieutenant on (he 29th of October. It's always gratifying' to' hear that another of our Philadelphia boys has made good and shown himself able to command others. He Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Walton, of Torresdale, you know, and a brother of Mrs. Aller, whose brilliant husband. Major Aller, died about a month ago from the pneumonic influenza, and of Mercedes Walton. His , other brother Is also in the service. They were both originally members of the First Troop, Pennsylvania Cavalry. HAVE you been out to Penn Cottage lately? I was there recently for tea, and I want you to 'know it tasted good, for It was one of those cold days we've been having this week. The fireplace made the rooms look so warm and invit ing, with their rag rugs on the floor, wonderful old furniture and attractive china on tho tables. Margaret Knight waa there in on old-fashioned costume, and she made nuch a picture that I felt as if the hour hand of the world had suddenly dropped back a few centuries and landed me In the time of William Penn. For it was his house originally, you know, and after that It belonged to the Witter Jones estate, and now It's owned by Mr. Edward To land. It used to be a famous house for newly weds. The Bob 8trawbrldges lived there for a time after they were married. Now it's a tea house, under the direction of Mrs. John Gibbons, Mrs. Rodman Qriscom, Miss Sophie Trasel, Miss Gertrude Fetter man and Miss Gamble, and the proceeds are for persons whoso Incomes have been affected by the War. Margaret Knight is the daughter of Major Knight and a niece of Mrs. Gibbons, with whom she lives. She is intensely In terested In the little house and spends a great deal of her time there. She wears the quaint costume tb harmonize with the antique furniture and fixings, and inci dentally, although' she may not have planned it that way, tS rest the nerves of the tired motorist who has seen nothing for many a weary mile but dark coats, huge furs and veils all over the road. The cottage is on Montgomery avenue, near Wynnewood. OF COURSE we all have our ideas about things and various reasons to be thankful, but Jack found a new one the other day. Bister had been married and everybody missed her very much. In fact, there was a sadness abou' the house because she had been tho life thereof, and It seemed a sad place since she had left it for the West. Well, they were talking about Thanksgiving and how sorry they wtra that the nsorlvwaAa ceuM tint fea ' -.

I CHAPTER IV BUek Men in Red Masks MIES SNOWY OWL, Miss Great Horned Owl and Miss Screech Owl proved faster flyers than Judge Owl, and set after him at a great rate. Miss Snowy Owl was particu larly swift, and she was rapidly overhauling the Judge when Billy Belgium jumped Into action. "Come on, we've got to help the Judge," he cried to Peggy, hopping Into his airplane. Peggy followed htm, and In a trice the air plane was darting at terrific speed after the birds. It passed first Miss Screech Owl. then Mies Great Horned Owl and then Miss Snowy Owl, and there ahead was Judge Owl, flutter ing along as fast as hs could. Judge OWl didn't know of the escape of his would-be brides, and was blissfully chuckling oVer the clever way In which he had outwitted them, when from behind came the wall of Miss. Screech Owl. Judge Owl stopped chuckling. Then came the whistle of Miss Great Horned Owl, "To-ooo!" and Judge Owl put on an extra burst ot speed. Then from close at hand came the scream ot Mils Snowy Owl, and JUdge Owl fled for his life. He heard the whirr .of the airplane and thought Miss Snowy Owl waa right upon him. "Help! Helpl" he hooted. "Help, Princess Peggy 1 Help, Billy Belgium!" "Throw out a line to Judge Owl.. We'll give htm a tow !" shouted Billy to Peggy. She quickly obeyed, sending the rope whtrllnr to. ward her puffing bird friend. He grasped It' in his diil "He's mine!" whistled Mies Great Horned Owl. "I heard him first 1" screamed Miss Screech Owl. "But I've got him!" cried Miss Snowy Owl, grabbing Judge Owl by the tall feathers. "Ml Bee aboul that!" whistled Miss Great Horned Owl, grabbing Miss Snowy Owl. , "Nebody can take him away from me!" walled Mils Screech Owl, grabbing Miss Great H6rned Owl. "Hold tight I" shouted Billy Belgium, turn Ing on full power. The airplane darted ahead, pulling all the Owls behind Jllce a string of freight cars. Then Judge Owl's feathers gave way, and tha airplane leaped forward. The sudden parting tangled the three lady Ow)s up In a fighting mass, and by the time they got un tangled the airplane was far ahead. Before them loomed a large, dark building. "There's Mr. Dalten's barn!" shouted Billy Belgium. "Let's hide In the haymow."

"Awful IS the right word," chuckled Judge OwL "My, ain't I glad I was born a bache lor." ''ttih-h-h I" whispered Billy Belgium, grasping Peggy by the arm. Something was making a shuffling noise on the main floor of the bam. ' "What's that nolle?" grunted a man's voice. "SpookM" spoke up another rough voice. A light flashed for a moment. By Its ray Peggy and Billy saw a sight that caused them to catch their breaths. The barn was arranged like a council hall, with black dra peries curtaining t(te sides. Seated around this council hill were men garbed In robes tt flaming fed. Every one wore a red mask. Before a throne, on which sat a fantastically drK.Md creature, were three unmasked men tied together. The faces of the prisoners and the fiuJes beneath the red masks were black.

Heifetz the Soloist Tho New York Symphony Society, strength ened aa to personnel, Impressive In numbers and led by the veteran Walter Dnmrosch, gave its first concert of the season nt the Academy of Music laBt evening.. The program was Bhort, varied In style and Interesting; In fact, there were no two compositions for the same combination. It began with Ileethoven's Symphony No. 7. for full orchc-rtra, followed by two movements from the string quartet of Debussy for strings alone, except basses, and closed with tho Bruch Concerto In D minor, with Jascha Heifetz as eololst. Tho orchestra is better than when It was here last, there being more attention to detail on the part of the players and a more evident desire to produce the beRt possible quality of tono and unanimity of rhythm. Tho wood wind Is especially good and did excellent work In the Introduction of the symphony, their phrasing nnd balance of tone being excellent, although tho composition does not present nny great difficulties, judged by mod ern btandarda of orchestral writing. Mr. Damrojch held closely to classical Ideals In tho Interpretation of the Symphony and Introduced nothing especially new In his reading, which, after all, Is not a bnd way to play Beethoven There was perhaps hero and; there In the allegretto a tendency to ward tho overemphasis of the part carrying the chief melody, although the reverse was true of the second appearance of the theme, where tho counterpolnted melody of the violas and cellos almost drowned the main tune. Perhaps this was the reason for tho accentuation of the theme later In tho move ment. However, the symphony as a wholo was read In all Its joyousness and eternal freshness, and It was sympathetically olayed. Mr. Damrosch is fond ot playing string quartet numbers for the united orchestral quartet Instruments, but It Is doubtful ex periment at best, as the ethereal quality of tho Debussy movement In the original form is lost In the mass ot tone produced by all the quartet instruments of the orchestra. How eer, It Is beautiful music and now ifnlver sally accepted as such In splto of the fuss that quartet players and critics made when It first appeared, and last evening was" greatly enjoyed by the audience. Mr. Heifetz appeared in the Bruch D minor concerto No. 2 and showed the same qualities as a violinist that made him so highly acclaimed last year. The left-hand technique, polished to the highest point of perfection, the free, true stroke of tho bow, the smooth tone always under perfect control and sweet In quality were all there and technically his performance was perfect. Ho Interpreted sympathetically, without exag geration, oversentlmontallzlng, or poses, what there Is In the work to interpret, but it can not be denied that he was unfortunate In his choice of a concerto. Never In his later works for vlolm did Bruch reach the heights ho attained in the concerto in Q minor and In the number played by Mr. Heifetz last eve ning the melodic inspiration cannot be said to be more than mediocre. The orchestra tion Is good, but It Is to bo regretted that Mr. Heifetz did' not chooso a work which would give him more of a chance to display his abilities as a poetic Interpreter. One cannot rise to very great heights on a Pegasus that cannot be made to lly. After the concerto Mr. Damrosch played as a piece not on the program nn orches tral number built on a Belgian folk song ot the sixteenth century ntid commemorating the destruction of the statue of the Duko of Alba by the people of Brussels. It was played, Mr. Damrosch expla'ned, as a timely work, as King Albert has just come again into his own. It proved to be rather an ex travagant working out of a very simple theme, but was cordially received by the au dience, which was of overflow dimensions, NO COURT, HENCE NO HELP When Influenia descended upon the na tion, vaudeville actors, lecturers and others who work was Interrupted promptly found other means of utilizing their time.

Once wo had ier.ched the haggling Rtnge. I knew the papers would be mine all right. Willi Semlln's money nnd my own I found I had about 550, but I had no intention of paying out 500 straight away. So I beat the fellow down unmerci fully and Anally secured the lot for 3G00 markH 180. , But, even after I had paid the fellow his money, I was not done with him. He had his eo on his perquisites. "Your clothes will never do." he atd; "fluch richness of apparel, such fine stuff we must glvo you others." Ho rang fie bell. The old manservant appeared. "A waltcr'B suit for tho Llnlen-Strasse!" he said. Then ho led me Into a bedroom where a worn suit of German shouuy was spre.ia out on a sofa. He made me change Into It, and then handed me a threadbare green overcoat and a greasy green felt hat. "So!" ho said. "Now, If you don't shae for a day or two, jou will-look tho part to the life!" a lemark which, whllo encour aging, was hardly complimentary. He gave me a muffler to tie round my neck and lower part of my face and, with that greaey hat pulled down over my eyes and in thoso worn and shrunken clothes, I must Bay I looked a pretty villainous person, the very antithesis of the sleek, well-dreBsed young fellow that had entered tho Hat half an hour before. "Now Julius," said ICore humorously, "come, my lad, and we will seek out together the good situation I have found for you A horce-cab was at tho .door and we entered It together.

"It was Johann's," he said, "but Johann won't want" It any more. A good Jad, Jo Kann. M rf"h, I always said he would come it . tad V" And he laughed. .noisily, w.5-.. .IS .n,t helo with the wa tine THE CLUB FOOT WILLIAMS now," he went on. "Otto will show you what to dot" And so I found myself, within twenty-four hours, spy, malo nurse nnd waiter In turn. I am loath to dwell on tho degradation oi tho dajs that followed. That cellar tavern was a foul sink of Iniquity, and In serving the dregs of humanltv that cnthered nightly 'thero I felt I had Indeed sunk to the lowest ueptns Tlio place was a regular thieves' kitchen what Is called In the hideous Yiddish jargon that is tho criminal slang of modern tiermany a "Kaschemme." Never in my life have I seen such brutish faces as those that leered nt me nightly through tho smoke haze as I shunted from table to table In my mean German clothes. Gallows' birds, sneak thieves, recehers, bullies, prostitutes and harpies of every description came to gether eery renlng In Herr Haase's beer cellar Many of tho men woro the soiled and faded fleld-gra of the soldier hack from tho front, and In looking at their sdrdid. ulplnc fares, inflamed with drink, I felt I could fathom tlm very soul of Belgium's misery The conersatlon was all of crlmo and deeds of violence. The men back from the front told gloatingly of rapine and fenstlngs In lonely Belgian villages or dwelt ghoul ishl, on the horrors of the battlefield, tho mounds of decaying corpses, the ghastly mutl latiens they had sten on the dead There were tales, too, of 'Vengeance" wreaked on "the treacherous Hngllsh " One story, in par ticular, of the fate of a Scottlah sergtaiit "der Hochlander" they called him In this oft-told tale still makes me quiver with impotent rage when I think of It. ono evening tho name of the Hotel Espla nade caught my ear. I approached the table and found two flashily dressed bullies and a bedraggled drali fiom the streets talking in admliatlnn of my exploit "Clubfoot met his match that time," the woman cried. "Tho dirty dog! But why didn't this Kngllsh spy make a job of It and Kill tlm scum? Pah!" And she spat elegantly Into tho sawdust on the floor. "I wouldn't be In that fellow's shoes for s-uirethlng," muttered one of the men. "No one rer had the better of Clubfoot yet. Do jou remember Melnhnrdt, Franz? He tried to cheat Clubfoot, and we Know what hap pened to him !" "Thej'ro raking the wholo city for this Englishman," answered the other man. "Vogcl, who works for Section Seven, you Know the man I mean, was telling me. They've done every hotel In Berlin and the suhuibf, hut they haven't found him. They raided Bauer's In the Faorlten-Strasse last night. The Englishman wasn't there, but they got three or four others they were looking for Fritz and another deserter in cluded I was nearly there myself!" 1 was always hearing references of this Kind to my exploit. I was never Bpoken of except In terme of admiration, but the name of Clubfoot der Stelze excited only execra tion and terror. I lived In daily fear of a raid at Haase's. Why the plnco had escaped so long, with all that riff-raff assembled there nightly, I couldn't imagine. It was one of those de fects In German organization which puzzle the best of us at times. In the meantime, I was powerless to escape. Tho first thing Haase had done was to take away my papers to send them to tho police, ns ho explained but ho never gave them back, and when I asked for them he put me oft with nn excuse. I was a virtual prisoner In, tho place. On my feet from morning till night, I had Indeed few opportunities for going out ; but once, during a slack time In the afternoon, when I broached tho subject to the landlord, ho rcfuced harshly to let me out of his sight. "The street Is not healthy for you Just now. You would be a danger to yourself and to all of us!" he said.
