And so he chained US fast and said:
"Werl have to hold her To-
Just this way so the wine will keep the

as if we meant to pour

The Lascar crew came to her side and
tried to jump our board,
But Bill went at them with a club: Back
to your work." he roared.
The old ships captain leaned down then
his hair and whiskers gone
And grinned: at was some hot up here.
D'you think you can hold on""
And Bill yelled back: IF Germany can
stand the heat up there
I guess tina ireland down here will stay
with her for fair!"
Just then a back draft pulled a flame and
whipped it straight at Bill;
And when the thing had cleared away he
stood, bald as a pill.
All his red hair was clean singed off and
Bill sang out: Il swear
If Ireland Germany amt potn iosI

BilPs hair was not the only thing the
Kitty lost that day,
The flames took windows. paint and rail
and even boats away.
But Bill held on, While up above the
blistered Lascar seamen
Worked in the red-hot oven, driven by
the German demon.
And every time our deck hands seemed
to get a little sick,

Dutchman beat a Micki"

battled with the sea-
Aye. we fought them and fire too, until

One Independence Day we lay a-bump-
ing at the pier,
The town was just ~rip-roaring till a man
could hardly hear;
And Bill Mcguire said to me: II really
don't know when
I've felt so much as il I'd like to be q III
again.
Most every other Fourth I've been glad
to get to sea
Away from all the noise and say: None
of his thing for me-
To-day, somehow, I'd like to put the Kit
ty or the shelf
And buy a lot of fireworks and shoot
them off myself"
And then he laughed: "Well, time is up.
We must get under way.
We've got a German case-oil ship to
jackass down the bay"
She was a tall, good-looking brute and
loaded down so full
Although the tide was fair, you bet she
made the Kitty pull.
A bare ten miles out from the Hook the
light went out of sight
AS If it had been blotted off and things
got black as night.
And in the open sea ahead that had just
glared with sun
A streak of lightning hammered down.
1t sounded like a gun.
Before my eyes got Strengthened out, they
came down all around,
Each bursting sharply as it struck, but
not another sound,
For neither wind nor thunder came out
of that curtain black
But just those snakey lights till I felt
shivers down my back.
Then Bill called through the speaking
tube: Say, Jim, 1 guess I've seen
A good deal healthier neighborhood than
near this kerosene"
He'd scarcely said the words before there
came a mighty rash
And, as l turned, the case-oil ship was
flaming like a flash!
The wind came the next moment,
a-roaring at our stern,
A licking flame was at our line and it be-
gan to burn.
Then Bill gave me the bell full speed
and swung all we could rip
Straight at the fame and smoke that
came a-blowing from the ship.
Embers and sparks poured down on us
they fell like fiery snow

In order to be healtbful, the dress
We wear must be suited ~ the season,
the weather and the business we have
in hand. We are now in the midst of
spring with soft airs, sudden showers,
bright sunshine, and every other de-
lightful thing that belongs to the most
charming part of the year. But last
December, although we had what is
called an open winter, there were
piercing winds and sullen skies, and
much of the time the temperature was
somewhere in the neighborhood of the
freezing point.
A friend of mine had occasion to
take a train one December afternoon
from New York to Albany. Midway
on the journey the train stopped and
among the passengers who stepped
aboard was a pretty girl with a jacket
over her arm, no hat on her head,
and protected from the weather only
by a thin shirt-waist, with short
sleeves. The shirt-waist was dainty
and pretty and trimmed with lace and
embroidery, but, nevertheless, on that
day and in that atmosphere, the girls
dress was an invitation to grippe or
pneumonia.
All last winter, any one who chose
to look might see beautiful New
York girls walking on Fifth avenue,
in the afternoon, with furs around
their necks while their feet were
shod with low shoes and their short
skirts left visible the most elaborate
open-work stockings. This was GER
tainly not a healthful style of dress.
l trust not a single schoolgirl left
her mothers home CARRIED in so stupid
q fashion.
Now that warm weather is here, the
problem has less difficulty and the ele-
ment of protection from cold is elm
mated. You are rather better off
without hats than with them in sum
mer, unless the sun is blazing and you
need to be screened from it's direct
rays.
If you would like to have thick, soft
and beautiful hair, you will run about
without a hat whenever you can
Mornings and evenings a jacket may
be necessary and a golf cape in the
mountains or at the shore is a very
comfortable addition to a girls ward.

summer evening, it is always well tt
have a wrap and either a golf cape, {
railway rug or one of those sensible
cloaks with hoods and pockets made
SO neatly by u Shaker friends, will
fill the need to perfection.
A schoolgirls dress should be wei

times wore tied around that sam
