Possibly canoe Is not the safest
couch In the world, but Gwen Masters
was given to the unexpected, and she
lay stretched at full length on a blank
ct stretched over the floor.
The low sides of the tiny craft shut
out view of the shores of the lake
and the bright camps that spangled the
dark green of the underground here
and there. Above rose the mountains
In their majesty, and above all was
the blue sky, fiecked with tiny white
clouds drifting as Idly on the surface
of the blue as did the canoe on the
placid waters of the lake.
1t was complete escape from civ

The shock of the cold water reused
her, and, diving, she came up against
the side of the little motor boat, now
lying silent beside the canoe while q
young man with a very white face
eagerly searched the water.
In an instant he had grasped her
shoulder, and the next moment she
lay gasping in the boat, while he
busted himself with righting the canoe
and making 1t fast to the stern of the
boat. Then he turned to her with con-
cern.
II don't know what you think of
me-" he began awkwardly, "and, in
deed, I'd hate to know, but really
had no intention of upsetting you"
II don't suppose you did 1t deliber-
ately," she admitted, "but 1t would
seem to me that with n lake as large
as this you should have had no trou-

one Hotel Guest Who Travels Pre-

II called on friend at one Of the
New York hotels the other day." said a
man, "and found him In a room that
was far, far away from daylight.
There was one electric light, which did
not make the apartment lustrous. We
had some papers to look over, and I
instinctively moved over near the air
shaft window.
"T can do better than that he said,
going to his satchel and taking out an
electric bulb. I carry this around with
me for just such occasions he laughed.
That one does well enough for tran
silent guests who are not in their rooms
except to sleep, but sometimes I need
more than sixteen candlepower, and I
carry thirty-two.'
HE unscrewed the sixteen. and In q
fifty had on his thirty-two. The cur
rent was there, all right, and we had
no more trouble about too little light.
Later he showed me large gas tip
which he carried along for hotels that
used gas instead of electric light This
needed pair Of pliers in addition, but
he had them in his small box, and he
told me it was mighty poor quality Of
gas and a powerful low pressure that
wouldn't respond with the goods when
he put on his accommodation tip. There

FRIENDSHIPS.
Differences Between Those of Men
and Those of Women.

Differences Between Those of Men
and Those of Women.
One difference between men and
is that mans friends like him In
spite of himself; a womans friends or
acquaintances care for her because Of
herself, because of her powers Of agree
ability, her tact or her charm.
A man may be as grouchy as he likes
on occasion. He may swear at his best
friend and treat him as cavalierly IA
he pleases, yet that friend will walt in
patience for "the old man to como
round" knowing we'll that beneath the
surface are q kindly heart and will
ingness to share a last crust with him.
With her friends woman may take
no such liberty. The kind heart and
the good Intentions count for nothing
beside a woman's bad manners and
lack of taste in the treatment Of her
nearest and dearest, and condemnation
is swift and sure. Nothing excuses her,
and she is rarely forgiven. Nor would
she expect to be forgiven. Not possess
ing that large patience undeniably nec-
essary to friendship or the power OF
forgiving and waiting for the Crouch"
to blow over, she does not look for for
glveness when she has sinned against
these laws of a woman's making.
Rather she gives up her friend and
contents herself quite placidly with an
other. But then, as we said before, Q
woman has no genius for friendship.

Among the litigants before the Eng
lish courts some years ago was Mrs
Weldon, who, indeed, was so constant
ly ut law that Baron Pollock once re-
marked: "This lady has now such O
very large business at the bar that we
must give her every indulgence" Mrs
Weldon was not abashed by the Judges
and said many clever things in court
The "reminiscences of the late John
George Witt, X. c., include an anec
dote of one Of her appearances in the
court Of appeal. She was endeavoring
to upset judgment of Vice Chancellor
Bacon, and one ground Of complaint
was that the judge was too old to un
derstand the case. Thereupon Lord
Esher said: 1.-THE last time you were
here you complained that your case
had been tried by my brother Bowen
and you said he was only bit Of boy
and could not do you justice. Now you

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
How the Autumn Leaves Were
Transformed Into Birds.

HOW the Autumn Leaves Were
Transformed Into Birds.
An Indian story that has been hand
ed down and Is still believed by many
Indian tribes is one about the trans
formation of leaves into birds. Long
years ago, when the world was young,
the Great Spirit went about the earth
making it beautiful. Wherever his
feet tcuched the ground lovely trees
and flowers sprang up. All summer
the trees wore their short green
dresses. The leaves were very happy,
md they sang their sweet songs to the
breeze us 1t passed them. One day the
wind told them the time would soon
come when they would have to fall
from the trees and die. This made the
leaves feel very bad, but they tried to
be bright and do the best they could
80 as not to make the mother trees I'M
happy. But at last the time came, and
they let go of the twigs and branches
and 1uttered to the ground. They lay
perfectly quiet. not able to move ex-
cept as the wind would lift them.
The Great Spirit saw them and
thought they were SO lovely that he did
not want to see them die. but live and
be beautiful forever, so he gave to each
bright leaf pair Of viii ss and power
to fly. Then he called them his birds"
From the red and brown leaves of the
oak came the robins. AMI yellow birds
from the yellow willow leaves. and
from bright maple leaves he made the
IL Ill
wrens, sparrows and other brown
birds. This is why the birds love the
trees and always go to them to build
their nests and look for food and shade.

A Heart to Heart Talk With The
Women and Girls of Penn.
SyIvanla.

Why woman's page? Must wo-
men be fed on special and diluted
diet? Can they not read as men
read
They do read as men read-and all
that men read-and add the woman s
page to it.
Rightly conducted, it is the earnest
Journalistic attempt to instruct more
than to amuse; well edited, it steers
clear of the encyclopaedia and the
boudoir.
1t should be all that well-round-
ed, interesting, helpful woman is
ready to put out strong guiding
hand wherever it is needed.
1t must take itself seriously. II
must be honest. 1t must reflect what
really is, and suggest from experience
what might be.
A great class turns to the woman's S
page for council, for advice, for sug-
gestion. The ready made conventions
of one set of people would be misfit
on another set, so why tell woman
who has to cook and wash for hus-
band and six children how to instruct
a footman to receive the cards of
callers?
A woman's page should be all
things to all women.
No woman's page deserves success
that does not give to its least ready
respectful hearing and the best advice
in its scope. 1t must be kindly. 1t
must inspire confidence. y
1t must enter into all the homely
duties of the housewife with zest and
enthusiasm. 1t must hold the affect
ionate friendship of its women read
eas.
All these things the woman's page
of "THE PHILA d E L p H A
DAILY PRESS" is and does-it is
beyond doubt the most practical and
truly and helpful woman's page ever
offered Pennsylvania women. You

merely the annex to commodious
lodge.
AS the launch grated against the
gravel shore the man jumped out and
without word caught her up in his
arms and strobe off toward the lodge.
He set her down in one of the piazza
chairs with an injunction to sit still.
Then he disappeared into the house.

face.

said. "To even things up, my name Is
Ted Crawford. | believe there was
something salu ABOUT Ineouore wnen L
was named, but never could live up
to the dignity of the full tide and in
mercy they call me Ted"
Gwen blushed redly. Lottie Nellis
had been singing Crawford's praises to
her for the last year. Lottie was an
inveterate matchmaker, and Gwen had
taken n malicious pleasure in avoiding
NIL Of the meetings Lottie had planned.
She wondered If Crawford knew any
thing Of Mrs. Nellis' tactics, but his
grave face reassured her. and she ac-
knowledged the introduction with the
stiffest Of bows.
But 1t was impossible for any one to
maintain reserve with Ted around.
When he wished to he could make
himself most fascinating, and almost
before she knew 1t Gwen had forgot
ten Lottle Nellis and her schemes and
was chatting as freely as IL she had
known him for years.
After lunch there came the ride
down the lake In the launch, and she
was sorry when the home landing
came In sight.

Gwen nodded and ran toward the
house. She was ashamed of herself
for yielding so easily, yet she was glad
when In the evening the putting of the
launch broke the summer stiffness and
Ted guided the boat alongside the
dock
That evening was the commence

THE ARAB.
An Artist In Manners Is This Son Of
the Orient.

An Artist In Manners Is This Son Of
the Orient.
In all matters of sentiment the
Arabs Instinct is sure. If you can
appeal to him on any ground Of hos
pitality or generosity, says the author
Of 'In the Desert" you have a holi
on him.
1t used to be the boast of Arab poe
try in Its best days that it "never
praised q man except for what was in
him." and the habit of judging direct
iy and without regard to surroundings
has always been an instinct of the
race. All those evidences of worldly
prosperity and success which turn
the heart of the Anglo Saxon to water
leave the Arab unmoved.
The Arab is an artist in manners. I
remember a certain sheik, who was
once my travelling companion on the
Upper Nile, tall, lean, keen faced
man, Of a complexion almost black,
with glitter on it like the sun polish
on desert stones, who walked among
the fellahs on the crowded deck like
a chief among his slaves.
With him / shared the same narrow
corner of the deck. He was strict in
his religious observances and at the
appointed hours would spread his mat
on the deck, turn in the supposed di.
rection of Mecca and then kneel and
rise and kneel again, bowling with
his forehead to the ground in the i'm
posing attitudes of Moslem prayer.
Quick at detecting the least sign of
consideration or respect, IL we stop
ped talking or moved to make room,
he would treasure up the courtesy and
when his prayers were over turn ana
acknowledge 1t with a grave gesture
and a smile that seemed no conven-
tional grimace, but expressed the In.
tention Of deliberate friendliness.
