Women and Their Interests Summer time Fables By DOROTHY DIX Gout and a Bay Window. Such, alas! was the case with this particular Captain of Industry. "It is True." said the Innocent Young Maidens addressing their Own Souls, "that ho does Not Resemble the Hero of Our Romantic Dreams, but we have observed that Romance is a Slim Diet on,which to subsist, and that it is not Nearly so Nourishing as .Lobster New burg. "We al*> perceive that he Is a trifle Stout, but It has not escaped us that a lithe figure generally goes with a thin pocketbook, and we apprehend that It is better to tie up with a fat Bank Account than It is with a Slim Figure. Happily for us. Heaven is Kind, and a Wife sees so Little of her Husband after she is married to Him that it does not matter how he Looks." Thereupon all the Guileless Maidens set their Caps for the Aged Million aire. One Artless Younx Thins: studfed np on Rheumatism and Arterio Sclerosis and Diseases of the Digestive Organs and Liver, and when she could decoy the Old Party aside sho would dis course to him srweetly upon his Af flictions. and tell him how she was a Horn Nurse and doted on Ministering to the Sick. These tactics, however, mode no lilt with the Millionaire. The Maidens were in despair, appre hending that his Millions must go to Philanthropy instead of to a Beautiful Young Widow, until one, more astute than the rest, took counsel with her self. "I perceive." she said, "that the older and Fatter people are the more Bager they are to Dance, and that the Clicking Sound that you hoar at tho Tango Teus is not the Castinets, but the Creaking of the Bones of the Aged; therefore I will offer to teach (his moneyed Methuselah the Maxixe, and peradventure I shall land myself in a Limousine." With these words she approached the Elderly One, and lured him into the Dance, and as every time his Knees gave way under him she mur mured. "How Beautifully you do the Hesitation," he was so enchanted that he Proposed on the Spot and She Kolled in Money ever after. Moral: This Fable teaches that Brains are now Located in your Heels instead of in your Head. HOW I CURED MY EYES fHIS FREE PRESCRIPTION IJID IT "My eyes were i,n a terrible state;: I could hardly stand it. They were red pnd Inflamed; felt ns though they had Fand in them. They would ache and tut merciful, as you say." "A fast, terrific campaign! A ready machine taking the road!" Weeterling declared. "Less suffering than if we went to war carelessly for a long cam paign—than tf we allowed sentiment to Interfere ■with Intellect." "I like fwSr energy. your wffll" said I the premier admiringly. "And about ' the declaration of war? We shall time that to your purpose." I "Declarations of war before strik ing, by nations taking the aggressive, are a disadvantage," Westerllng ex plained. "They are going out of prac tice. Witness the examplss of Japan afalnet Russia and the Balkan allies against Turkefy. In these days dec larations are not necessary n? a warn ing of what Is going to happen. They belong to the etiquette of fencers." "Yes, exactly. The declaration of war and the ambassador's passports win be prepared and the wire that fighting has begun will release them," agreed the premier. "Yet If we did lose! If when I had given you all you ask your plans went wrocgl If our army were broken to pieoes on the frontier and then the nation, kept In ignorance of events, learned the truth"—the premier enun ciated slowly and pointedly while he locked glances with Westerllng—"that is the end for us both. You would hardly want to return to the capital to face public wrath!" "We must win though we lose a million men!" he answered. "I stake my life!" he cried hoarsely, striking his fist on the table. "You stake your life!" repeated the premier with slow emphasis. "I do!" said Westerllng. "Yes, my life. We cannot fail!" "Then It will be war. if the people want it!" said the premier. "I shall not resist their desire!" he added in his official manner, at peace with his conscience. • • • • • Partow was a great brain set on an enormous body. Partow's eyes had the fire of youth at sixty-five, but the pendulous flesh of his cheeks was pasty. Jealousy and f&ction had en deavored for years to remove him from his position at the head of the army on account of age. New govern ments decided as they came In that he must go, and they went out with him still in the Baddle. Let officers apply themselves with oonsplcuouß energy and they heard from a genial Partow; let officers only keep step and free of courts martial, and they heard from a merciless task master. Peculiarly human, peculiarly dictatorial, dynamic, and inscrutable was Partow, who never asked any one under him to work harder than him self. Lanstron appeared in the presence of Jove shortly after eight o'clock the neixt morning after he left La Tir. Jove rolled his big head on his short neck In a nod and said: "Late!" "The train was late, sir," Lanstron replied, "and I have some news about our thousandth chance." "Hm-m! What is It?" asked Partow. When Lanstron had told his story, Partow worked his lips In a way he bad If he were struck by a passing re flection which might or might not have a connection with the subject in hand. "Strange about her when you consider who her parents were!" he said. "But you never know. Hm-m! Why don't you sit down, young man?" "The way that the Grays gave out our dispatch convinces me of their in tentions," Partow said. "Their peo ple are rising to It and ours are rising in answer. The Grays have been trans ferring regiments from distant prov inces to their frontier because they will fight better in an invasion. We are transferring home regiments to our frontier because they will fight for their own property. By Thursday you will find that open mobilization on , both sides has begun." "My department is ready," said j Lanston, "all except your decision j about press censorship." "A troublesome point," responded Partow. "I have procrastinated be cause two definite plans were fully worked out. It is a matter of choice between them: either publicity or com plete secrecy. You know I am no be liever in riding two horses at once. My mind is about made up; but let. me hear your side again. Sometimes I get conviction by probing another man's." Lanstron was at his best, for his own conviction was Intense. "Of course they will go in for se crecy; but our case is different," he began. Partow settled himself to listen with the gift of the organizer who draws from his informant the brevity of es sentials. [To be Continued.] DANCING ACADEMY TO OPEN Mr. J. R.

In the history of civilisation perfumes have played an Important part and their use has seemed to mark epochs of ultra refinement and cultivation. Centuries be tore the a. ;T.r-l Christian Bra we have ology the In vention of perfumes; Is ascribed to the Gods and. according to these fables, mor tals received their first knowledge of the use ot scents from one of tha nymphs of Venus. Extravagance Among the Greeks. Among the Greeks the art of the per fumer was carried to a point of extrava gance and refinement, never equaled be fore or since. The manner of perfuming an apartment before an entertainment was given as careful consideration as were the costly viands nnd wines that were to be served. Incense was burned, the furniture sprinkled with sweet scent ed waters, and perfumed fans floated above the heads of the guests. The fol lowing quotation from a Greek poet who flourished about 350 3. C. gives some Idea of the extravagance of this practice; "—lie let fly four doves, with unguents drenched, Not of one sort, but ovary bird a per fume bore Peculiar, antk, different from the rest; And they hov'ring round us, from their heavy wings Showered their sweets upon our robea and furniture." It is not strange that under such condi tions moralists should have arisen to try by precept and laws to stop this extrava gance. Objection of the Moralist*. In Athens Solon forbade the use of perfumes, but laws preventing their Im portation were evaded and defied. The •tern and caustic Socrates disapproved of all artificial scen's. "There is," he said, "the same smell In a slave and a gentle man when both are perfumed." From Greece the use of perfumes was quickly carried to Rome, much to the dia SEPTEMBER 10. 1914. I LIGHT CONTRACT AWARDED j Special to The Telegraph Dillsburg, Pa., Sept. 10.—At the \ special meeting of the Dillsburg bor- I i ough council on Tuesday night the j i Dillsburg Light, Heat and Power' j Company were awarded the contract; |to furnish the street lights. The coun- ! | cil also voted to retain the arc lights instead of replacing with an improved i i incandescent light offered by the light ! | and power company. GIRLS' SKULL FRACTURED Special to The Telegraph Sunbury. Pa., Sept. 10.—Falling] from a ten-foot high stepladder, Mary j Thomas, seven years old, son of Mr. | and Mrs. John Thomas, Beach Haven, i suffered a fractured skull. She is in I I a serious condition in the Berwick hospital and may die. pleasure of the sterner Roman moralists anxious to curb the growing: luxury and extravagance of th< times. Laws were made against the sale of odors, but In vain; the use of them greiy more general and extravagant until even the battle flag and standards were heavily scented be fore they were carried forth to face the barbarians of the north. To such depths had Caesar's legions fallen! In addition to the perfumes produced In Italy and Greece, others were brought from the conquered countries of Egypt. India and Arabia. From the lavish, senseless profusion In the room and In the bath a more refined appreciation of the use of odors grew up. There Is much literature of that time on the proper use of perfumes and their significance. Each portion of tile body had Its appropriate perfume or oil; mint for the arms, ivy for the knees and neck, marjoram and rose for the hair and eye-brows, and so on. Rooms were perfumed to indicate their character, rose .for a lover's tryst, white violets (supposed to have a beneficial effect on the digestion) for a banquet and quince for sleep. The Center of Gossip. The perfumer's shops were center places for the gossip of the day. fashions and affairs of state were equally dis cussed there. The cult for an individual perfume grew up: certain political par ties, followers of som9 fad or fancy, were distinguished by the perfume they dif fused about them. Use of Perfumes In Religious Cere monies. Both profane and sacred history prove the use among the Hebrews of perfume and Incense for religious purposes and embalming the dead, but not for the anointing of the person, and the primitive Christian adopted the same example. The use of perfumes on the body became re garded OJI a sinful Indulgence and Incen tive to evil doing, while the use of In cense In the churches became more and more esteemed, and In the Catholic church this use has continued down to modern times. Perfumes are used In the church service In the form of Incense and mixed with the oil and wSx to be burned In lamps and for candles. Incense Is made of powdered sandal wood, a little gum and a combination of sweet smelling spices, and during the church service is burned In the censer, generally a beautifully wrought vessel of metal, sometimes of gold and stiver and Inset with precloua stones. This Is made In two parts, the upper part per forated to allow the escape of the per fume and In the lower part s place to be filled with Ignited charcoal, the heat of which volatlsss ths perfume.
