heeler Pappenhelm did not como home
to America to live, ns mi -
fnot a happy one and she" and the count are
fseparatcd. Dut I suppose she likes foreign
Sways best.
The countess and her daughters have
lot ben living In Bavaria, but In London;
1 ot. the slrls are decidedly more Ens-
f"iislt than German, which Is a blessing.
The Countess Pappenhelm was the sec-
frond daughter of Mrs. Charles Wheeler, of
Pembroke, Bryn Mawr. Her sisters nre
Mrs Dick Elliot. Mrs. George Thayer. Mrs.
tHenry Norrts and Christine, who married
San Englishman who was killed cany in
tthe war. I think his name was Philip
(Kvalnman, but t am not sure. Christine
was the youngest of the family and was
gqutto a little girl when Mary was married
Ito Count Pappenhelm. There was quite
fan excitement at the time, what with civil
narrlage and religious, ceremony and one
ng and another.

and the religious one took place In

matter of fact, was It not?
The count and countess were never dl
orced. you know, as tome persons think.
She has settled a certain amount on him
per annum, and he did not consider It
enough, so the. story goes, so when he de
manded more she decided he wanted her
money more than he wanted her and left
him. He,trled for a divorce, but was never
able to get it.

.anient Hail Manners of Children
Jo the V.iHtor o thr .'triiliifl Public .rnVr
Sir I was so glad to see our "Nancy
W.vtinc" write about the manners, or rather
vvntit of manners. In the ounger genera
tion, especially nmong the bos I scent
lo one of the most prominent dancing classes
with mv daughter recently, and 1 have not
et recovered from the Impression made by
tli behavior of the bo.vs and of the older
girl", too. But, 1 must sav 1 blame the
mothers n.oie than the children themselves
In the first place, the host's of the eve
ning siniplv stood nt the door of the bail
loom and greeted the children as they eu
teted tho room During the entire evening
I never once saw her Introduce one oung
bo; to one ;oung girl The girls aine In.
nil huddled together, and stood at one end
of the room; and the ho s milking to
gether when not seeking out one special girl
Into wroso dances thev broke all evening!
never paid the least attention lo the girls
at the other cud of the loom furthermore.
and this Keems to bo more serious, this dance
wa held tn one large tooni at one of the
hotels. Now, there ale other rooms on that
floor, of I'omre, which ore used for enter
taining, but when the are not in u-e, thev
nie darkened nnd urlaltied off Twice dm -'iig
the evening lis I was going to and coming
from tlie dressing room, I saw a girl and
a nnv emerging from one of these dark
looms. Think of letting little bos and girls
of fifteen and sixteen running off into dark
corners to sentimentalize!
There wns no one to see this iio chapeione
to help the class hostess I don't suppose
she even thought she neidfd help Hut I
was more than horrified, and I can assure
you my daughter will not attend a dance
at an; time without her mother nfter this.
And mother will be right on the "pot between

"H is fitting thnt we should raise some

upon.
"And no more fitting method of raising
the funds could be hit upon. Liberty Bonds
were purchased ns a mark of patriotism."
Many members of the congregation have
already made donations of Liberty Bonds.
Special services have been planned for to

Small folders, about the site of Liberty

being circulated, telling of the campaign.

matter of surprise that men affecting to de
sire peace should be so fond of living under
a government which Is never better pleased
than when It Is nt war. It having filled India,
with carnage nnd famine, Africa with slaVcry.
and tampered with Indians nnd negroes to
rut the throats of the freemen of America.
But as we seek not to hurl the hair on nn;'
man's head, when vvc ran make ourselves

they may live unmolested by us, nnd we by

This seems to the w rlter lo have been n
fine solution of the fiurstlon, one that the
most cavilling sectarian could not chargo
with containing the least ingredient of perse

The woman of rpotless beaut; Is better

They declare that the average spot Is not
big enough to figure on. nnd It would take a.
high-powered mathematical Imagination, to
gether with a magnifying glass, to tax 40
per cent of a beauty spot Rut the duty
stands, nevertheless, says Judge Howell, lit"

will have to do their duty and pay It,
Oovernment appraisers say that tl

Healers contended that the "spous" wer ' i

be only 15 per cent.
Beauty spots now retail nt a nickel each
regardless of complexion or tho site of th
face, but with the extra tax it Is now possi

Of course, some women may use sticking
