MADE A PERSONAL APPEAL
supplanted lsundress Successful In
Effort to Retain Patronage Of
Duke of the AbruzzI.

Al Salsomaggiore. says a writer in
McClure's, there was q laundress who
mad always enjoyed the patronage OF
the Duke of the Abruzzi whenever he
came there to take the cure on his re-
turn from one Of his expeditions. Tia
duke OF course knew nothing about
this matter. which was attended to
by his chauffeur-valet Now. for some
reason, OF which I am ignorant, the
servant had taken notion to change
laindresses; hence great humiliation
on the part OF the good little woman.
VINO naturally priced her celebrated
patron. What was she to do? She
wanted to get an explanation Of the
matter. at any rate; so one day she
placed herself on the road where the
duke was to pass. When he came I'M
she said to him: Your highness Ia no

Iaundress" WHO said so?" why.

linen and am very unhappy about

prince. II knew nothing about f.!
Come with me and we will settle the
matter out of hand" The duke or.
dorcd his chauffeur to send his linen
to his usual laundress in the future
and when she narrated this incident

zone thing that started us Just now was
the news of the fight in England for tax
alton of land values. But there are num-
bers of reasons why the time is ripe Just

everywhere. the cost OF living agitation
the gradual marshalIing of the expIoiters
and the exploited into two hostile camps
and the corruption OF the Democratic and
Republican parties. with which we have
worked more or less. all these call for a
party TO demand the true economic re-

| TINE TO PLAY
Message Of Play Congress to
Nation of ToIers.

The art CT story telling was highly es-
teemed in the remote period when the tales
of THE Thousa nd-and-One Nights" saved
hundreds of innocent lives by so enhancing
a cruel despot as to make him forget his
wrath, and it was still in good repute when
Sir Philip Sidney wrote in his Defence OF
Poesie": He cometh unto you with a tale
which holdeth children from play" In
utilitarian age this art has fallen into neg
lect, but some inspired persons who have
discovered that humanity needs tales as
of yore are trying TO revive 1t. The SUBJ
ject is to get a lot of attention at the con-
gress of the Playground Association of
America, to be held June to Il in Roches-
ter and those who attend will have an
opportunity to hear Seumas MacManus, OF
Donegal Ireland, tell some of the tales
with which he is wont to delight the hearts
of the little folk.
The object of the members of the Play
ground Association in encouraging story
telling is not, however, to hold the children
from play. They think that children real
ly can't have too much play-at least, they
, are in no danger of getting it-and that
they need tales and play.
Nor will the attention of the congress
be confined to children. Grown people are
sadly in need of play. too. the association
thinks and so social centres will come in
for much discussion. This means a wider
use of school buildings, and their use by
adults as well as by children. Most of
the schoolhouses are being used for only
few hours day, five days in the week,
ten months of the year; they stand idle
two thirds of the year. But in some cases
the buildings have Been put to in the

consisting of lectures and a questionable
on gardening. All sorts of experiments, too,
were conducted at these lessons. For in
stance, with a lump of sugar and some red
ink Mr.. Parsons illustrated the principles
OF irrigation. The sugar was stood on end
in @ shallow saucer of ink and instantly
the fluid crept upward. coloring every atom
until 1t reached some powdered sugar piled
on top, ut which it stopped. The powdered
sugar represented the powdered earth on
the surface OF ground cultivated to depth
of three or four inches, and showed. the
lecturer explained. how this method OF cul-
tivation keeps the moisture from escaping
through the top of the ground.
Three-fourths or more of the women in
this gardening class are teachers In New
York public schools. They see that the

They want to learn themselves how TO

doing it,
One interested listener at Mr.. Parsons's
last lecture was Mrs Charles H. Israels,
chairman of the committee on amusements
and vacation resources OF working girls
Vegetables had superseded the investiga-
ton of dance halls in her mind for the
time, anyhow. and to find out how TO thin
her carrots appeared to be her one object
in life. Mr.. Parsons explained how 10 thin

vidual root for its development.

lessons will be given on a large scale
