IKEIM looking around for pretty clothes

a blue serge frock, with panels of the love
liest wool embroidery on the sKiit and a
hand of said embroidery above the hem of
the frock, I say to mjsclf, "How glml 1 am
that she is not adorned with an overseas
hat ofbliic and a red shield, just for n little
while." It's true that she looks pietty in
her K. A. A. suit, but thou she looks even
pipttlor in this bliir- frock, with a long blue

To I he r.dilor nj the Ktrning I'tihUc l.nlqci :
Sir It is some years since William Allen
White asked the question, "What is the
matter with Kansas V" No one lias yet
aroused the ithtpns of this city to any
grcat extent by fishing. "What is the mat
ter with Philadelphia';!" Some good, how
ever, may come out of the present awaken
ing of the .civic pride or conscience of some
renresentntive citizens connected with
connected wnn ine
Chamber of Conimeice. Ilntuiy Club
nud
other oignuUntions.
The publicity given to the seriousness ot
the housing situation should result in some
definite action being taken to secure sufficient
dwellings for the people who have tome
heie fioin other communities, and are em
ployed in local industries, ns well ns to
provide for the natural increase iu popula
tion. New houses, howpver. will benefit only
those with families and provide them with
homes. What cftoits. if uny, nre being
made to provide for ceituin wants of the
voung unmarried of both sexes who have
found employment heie, and whostay nt
boi rding bouses, hotels. V. M. C A. or
Y. W. C. A.V Among these wants can be
mentioned the chance of meeting young
folks of the opposite sex beside those at
the public dance halls, amusement other
than tlie movies or theui'-es. and iccrentiou
other than an occasional trip to Atlantic
City .
There are many young folks who would
not care to form permanent association with
those thev meet nt the public dance, and
who cannot afford fteiiuent attendance .at
the theatres or visits to the seashore.
The problem is not such a great one iu
several other cities that ould be mentioned,
because of the tact that strangers find a
more lordhil welcome there, nud become
more iplickly a part of the community itself.
Iu this city a stranger meets n cuse-liardened
social atmosphere that is hard to penetrate
unless one is armed with letters of intro
duction, or is a military or government
official.
The effect-of Philadelphia's citizens being
so absorbed in themselves, so smugly and
complacently self-satisfied, is far-reaching iu
business, industiial and political life. This
city should be at least the second in size
in America, but is letnrded in its develop
ment by a provincialism that is almost as
preventive of growth us thn shoes of a
Chinese lady of the old regime were to the
feet.

The writer is lemlnded qt a story of Nancv
Wjnne's iu leguid to the dancing class at
Wurts's. The boys gathered at one side ot
the room and the girls ut the other, and
only when the 'music- began did they leave
their places. Such aloofness muy be some
wlitit excusable in young folks when meet
ing otbeis of opposite sex, but the spirit of
(donnishness seems to be prevalent every
where throughout the city. The social nt-
mospheie is so dltleient irom mm ot ouic-i-cities,
especially those a little further south
and west. The slrauger coming into this city
in most cases will be ly-ie n year or more
before getting acquainted with more than
a dozen persons outside of the office or shop
in which he is employed. I'sually the per
sons one does meet are aKo uon-Pliiludel-phiaus.
In other places a visitor or stranger
nfter beeomiug acquainted vvitli one family,
it he or she is ut all presentable, is soon
intioduced to the friends of the fumily. and
within a short time has a number of ac
quaintances. Not so in this ultra -conservative
city, however.
Philadelphia may be the City of Urotherly
Love, but all the love is restricted to fellow
Phlladelphians, none being shown toward
the btrangers within its gales.

Ireland and the Peace Conference
To the i:litoi of the lliaiiinj I'lilthc J.nlyei :
Sir Since the sessions of the Pence Con
ferral e opened ficqtieut lefcienus have been
mnde to the Lloyd tieoige I ish convention.
We often lead, fur example, lefcriiug to thut
((invention, sue Ii headlines as: 'Towed
Settlement l.c is for Iieland." "Internal
Ilniiuony Fails," (ioiernmeiit Mut Act,"
etc.
In the calling ft? that convention P.ritish
politicians appear to have succeeded in the
policv of imposing on the lihi-iul spirit of the
win Id. They called all observcis to witness
their desire to serve Ireland and dednred that
the settlement must i made by liishmeii.
Thej proposed a c-onvention. not by asking
the men and women of Ireland, in all th"
thirty -two counties of thut countiy, to elect
delegates and pledging ucquicsceuc e in the
will fcf the majority, but by themselves nam
ing the delegates who would sit in (lint con
vention. They did nut come to anv agree
ment. It was not intended that they should.
If N quite unlikely that the government
uui.iuis wuo nave lor years given substantial
encmiiiigement to the opponents of Irish
autonomy would pick delegates who would
do justice to Ireland. Tlio, convention was
not representative of the Irish people. It
was nn Imposition- a farce!
The sentiment of the people of Ireland was
plainly indicated by the December election.
Independence and lepieseutntion at the Peace
Confeience were its open demands. Seldom
have a people been mow unanimous in any
demand. This unanimity wus not the le
sult of the events of icccnt ycats. It wus
the conviction of the masses of Hip popula
tion, uttered without fer of the conse
quent es, nud icfiectiug the feelings which
have dominated the Irish clianuter for seven
and a half centuries. To mnnv observcis
the political antagonism appealed ns simply
a divergente of p.dicy between constitutional
ists unci revolutionists. I!t fr deeper was

Itut, nccordinj- to some w liters, as Ion
as the Lugllsh (iovernment is able to induce
nny little group in Iieland to piotest ngaiust
the right, they are so helplessly divided among
tliemsehcs that "the Kuglisl, tJovernment
must impose its own settlement upon them "
This, indeed, is tlie lie plus nltrn .,f ti'

Circus Doctor, Who Rolls Pills With
Spade, Says It Helps
Some
sics or lame' Need n doctor? AVnnt to
emit bis everlasting gratitude? Well, lest
he get nrrious and make nn end of you, he
ns gentle ns nn rlephnnt is in n hospital.
(Jeorge Deiininndthe "pachyderm physician"
with Kingllng llrothers unci Knriiiim i llai
ley Combined Shows, hns treated nil manner
of nnimnls mid now and then prescribes for
hiiinnn ills.
Doctor Demunii has winked around solid
ivory so long he could rten jmll teeth fiom
the vacant map. s.iys --ibe young lady ueross
ine way. He thinks he has n right to clis
cuss tlie enmpaiative merits of sick paiby
derms nnd mniniiiiiN with two legs ;is well.
He rolls pills with a spucle, and lie ought to
be good in his way.
"Taking them all in nil." says Denmnn.
"give me the good old 'rubber mule' nuy day
in tlie week. An elephant never fusses,
never whimpers, but just stands nt attention
until one has lini'shod with him."
Oueen is one of the elephants that com
pose tin. ciist iu the "ipmiter-nf a -million -pound
act" which is one of the featines to
be piesentcd when the circus exhibits in
Philadelphia nil next week nt Nineteenth
sticet and limiting Pink avenue.
Oticcn has some congest ion at her lesser
terminal.
The trouble with Queen's tuil is Hint it was
bitten by "Ilig ep," high potentate of Un
seal colony. As the battalion of tiick ele
phants tile out of the menagerie tent into
tlie "big top" to leuch the rings and stnges
they tire obliged to puss the tanks which con
tain the trained seals and sea lions. Accord
ing to the lules of pin hjdei ill etiquette nt
such times, Queen's tail should have been
nestling in the trunk of the elephant imme
diately behind In r. Hut instead it wns Hop
ping from side to side, und ns it swung under
"Ilig Nep's" nose the seal no doubt took
the tail for nn eel and tiled to gobble it.
rortunlelj. the injury was slight, and n
week of good ntir-dng tendered it us good ns
now. Since then, however. Queen insists thut
Nero, who trails hark of her to the rings,
keep iter tuil ill his trunk. And when now
and then he lets loose of it she comes to n
dead stop until the ord'T "cniry tails" is
leiiewccl.
