HE PUZZLED THE BRITlSHER
Evidently Doorkeeper Had Never
Heard Of the Lord That AmerI.
can Minister Served.

Judge George F. Lawton of the Mid
dlesex probate court told me a story
the other day of an American minis
ter who was spending his sabbatical
year travelling abroad. Arriving in
London, he made every effort to get
an intimate view of the two branches
Of parliament in session. OF course
no stranger is allowed on the floor of
the house of lords, but the minister
not knowing this, and with the usual
amount of American push, tried to
make his way in. There is a rule,
however, that servants of the various
lords may be admitted to speak to
their ministers. Seeing the minister
walking boldly in, the doorkeeper
asked:
What lord do you serve?"
What lord?" repeated the aston.
ished American, "the lord jehovah"
For moment the doorkeeper hesi-
tated and then admitted him. Turn
ing to an assistant standing near he

SCHOOLS IN THE CANAL ZONE
Every Town in Strip Has Its Amer

Colon.-At the present time there
is school in every town of the canal
zone. There is probably no place in
the world where children of so many
different nationalities receive their
instruction in common. In fact, this
has probably been the greatest diff.
Guilty in the work. In the first place
the teachers come from 16 different
states. The c'lmber of pupils in the
white schools IS 722, of which $50 are
Americans. These latter come from
SO different states or territories, and,
as each state has a system of instruc-
tion differing more or less from all
the others, it can readily be seen how
difficult it has been to get all pupils
properly graded for the advantage of
all. The foreign children attending the

REALLY USEFUL HAT HOLDER.
Spiral Coil of Heavy Wire That Can
Be Prettily Decorated Is the Best
Yet Devised.

Taking care of a hat when one is
not wearing it is always some
trouble, and putting it away in a box,
from which it must be taken out
every time one wants to use it, seems
great bother, especially when one
is in hurry.
Various hat holders have been con-
trived, some useful and some not
much of a success, but the best one
yet seen and the most steady is a
strong spiral coil of heavy wire, the
bottom being larger round than the
crown of the hat and the top much
smaller.
A girl can buy these spiral wire
holders and make them look very
pretty and dainty herself. The wire
must be covered with ribbons to
match the closet fittings. The cover
ing is done by fastening the end Of
the ribbon securely to the bottom end
of the wire, then winding the ribbon
closely around the wire all the way
to the top. Each end should be fin
ished with a bow. The closets should
be furnished with as many of these
holders as it's owner has hats in use.

The MARRYING Ace.

There seems no harm in young girl
marrying man whose means are am
ply sufficient to maintain wife. says a
current writer, and, provided that man
possesses the necessary moral and
physical qualities which go to make a
good husband, there can be no possible
objection to the knot being tied as
soon as it suits their convenience. IL
there is considerable disparity in age,
then it might be advisable to wait for
n time to see if their love for each
other remains firm.
Early youth fades quickly away be
fore the stern realities of life and the
responsibilities to be faced by two
young inexperienced people.
The ideal age for marriage for a girl
is about 25, and the man should be a
,rifle older.

At THE BEGINNING OF LIFE.
Some Good Advice for the Girl Who
Has Just Finished School and is
Entering Society.

Don't, when school days are over,
fancy that your education is finished.
1t is only just beginning. School
merely teaches us how to learn; but
the greater part of our real education
comes after, and whether or not we
end up by being welleducated women
depends almost entirely on ourselves.
Wise people never regard their edu-
cation as finished" They are al
ways on the lookout to learn some
thing new.
Don't let love of sport and out
door amusement lead you to despise
The woman whose interests are all
outdoor can never be home maker
IN the best sense of the word.
Don't fancy that because you don't
happen to be good looking you cannot
be attractive. Some of the most at
tractive women mentioned in history
have been absolutely plain; they
merely learned how to make the best
of themselves-and SO can you.
Don't, If you find it difficult to get
on with people, excuse yourself by
saying that you are so reserved 1t
is the surface impression that strang-
ers Judge by, and not one in thou
sand will take the trouble to try and
find out If you are interesting and
pleasant below if you are cold and re-
served on the surface. Therefore, the
thing to do, is to determine to be
pleasant. even If it does mean big
