Attendance at Glen Echo Park this
week. which, despite the GOODNESS Of the
autumn nights and the fact that Wash
ington theaters are offering rival attrac-
tions, is larger even than during the
summer months is proof conclusive that
the management made no mistake in
deciding to extend the season for an
other week. Patrons of the park are
taking advantage of the cool nights, and
the big dancing pavilion is the most pop
ular spot in the resort.
For tonight the management announces
the most elaborate display Of fireworks
OF the season, and in addition the free
motion pictures and all the attractions
will be kept in operation right up to the
close of the most successful season the
resort has ever had.

Girls Letters to Dead Man Pro-
duced in Strange Philadelphia
Murder; "Unwritten Law" Fails
to Work.

PHILADELPHIA, May H.
Written law has supplanted the
unwritten variety in the case OF
Frank Mcmahon who shot and
killed the seducer of his daughter,
George Leary, wealthy real es-
tate broker, May 4, and who was
released by the coroner only to
be arrested upon a warrant sworn
out by the dead mans brother.
Letters from Anne Mcmahon
to the real estate broker by whom
she was employed as a stenog-
rapher are published. In the cor
ner of one is picture of a man
with a snake crawling about him.
Under 1t the writer appended this
sentence: This is you and / am
the snake curling about you, land
ing in your mouth"
In May 1910 she wrote this let
ter:
my darling sweetheart: For
give me for being so disgruntled
this morning. Do you know that
| owe very big debt to you?
Well, I do. You have opened
the gate to a very delightful,
though sometimes very sad
world to me. So therefore owe
you the entrance fee which shall
be just what you want to make
it, but l am afraid / am letting
time go by when / should be in
the office and therefore / must
stop this. Believing that l will
be forgiven and trusting that you
will tell me SO. / am,

"Dear Heart: I got your note
today at $3.50. OF course, l was
pleased to think you wanted me,
but, dearie, / am afraid may
go too often. You know the old
story of the pitcher and the well.
Then, too, / do not know what
mother will say. When I got
home on Tuesday she was just
coming in. She did not say much
but you know what looks can
express.
However, Lochinvar, you come

families issue in a quiet and Or
derby manner and can be moved
into the empty hive which has
been provided in much the same
fashion that you and l observe
when taking possession of a new
home.
Sometimes the honey stores
have been too greatly depleted
and before the honey flow Is on
1t may be necessary to feed the
bees. If an examination of the
combs shows very little sealed
honey, the bees should be given a
sugar syrup made by mixing sugar
and water. This should be poured
into a shallow pan, say about
quart, and the surface of the syrup
covered with sheet of wet
cheesecloth to prevent the bees
from drowning. The bees will
crawl upon the cloth. and take the
syrup until 1t is all taken down
and deposited in the combs. The
syrup should be set in an empty
super placed on top of the hive.
Feeders that give excellent results
are sold by dealers in bee sup
plies.
Feeding for surplus honey pro-
duction does not pay. for the bees
consume so much in the process
that the honey could not be sold
for enough to pay the cost of the
sugar.

gloves and frequently the veil will
be discarded and bee stings, 1t may
be said. no longer count. Italian
bees. too. are not so vicious as
the old-time black or hybrid bees.
One of the bothers of beekeep-
ing has been the control of
swarming. BY this process is
meant the throwing off of a new
colony of bees. The whole diff
Guilty lies in the fact that unless
restrained, natural swarming will
occur too frequently. Some OF
the members of the family-dis-
gusted as 1t were with the sur
roundings - get together and
march away to establish them
selves elsewhere.
Science has evolved ways to
successfully overcome other OBJ
jections to beekeeping. With
modern methods, modern appli-
ances and study of the latest
writings on bee culture the ANA
teur beekeeper will learn to rec
ognize the conditions which en-

more satisfactory way than was
practiced by beekeepers in days
gone by. Tin-panning and bell

doubts it's power to protect itself
or it's honey in any other way.
Olden time beekeeping in clumsy
hives was a tedious and decidedly
unpleasant operation. 1t was
very hard indeed to move the
bees or take honey from the hive
without arousing every little in
mate. Modern beekeeping does
not acknowledge this disadvan-
tage.
Mans ingenuity has devised a
hive with movable parts, and any
tyro in beekeeping, clothed with
"a bee veil and canvas gloves and
with bee smoker in hands will

even be removed from the super

French Frills Fashionable
Paris has revived lace ruff

Paris has revived lace ruffles
and frills.
Conspicuous among the new
lace accessories of this period are
the frills that fall over the hand.
Another striking development
of the frill is black satin ribbon
folded around the neck, the ends
tied In q chic bow beneath the
chin. From this falls a full frill
of white cambria or lace in the
form of the jabot.
In the lace frills falling over
the knuckies Is sounded the re-
turn of the long tight sleeve.
Sleeves are of lace or are tucked,
but are always tight fitting and
made of the one material. Frills
are extremely smart with coat
skirt suits, and IL ecru or cream
color is selected a more artistic
effect will be secured.

A SEASONS WORK


A very interesting lesson in
the possibilities of Bookkeeping
is given in the following
statement of an amateur bee
keeper.
Began the season with 3
colonies, divided and swarmed
to 8 and took 362 sections of
fine honey late in the fall
no spring honey at all. |
have spent about 500 since
beginning. but now have .
good swarms, rs supers and
3 empty hives with everything
required complete and the
outfit Is worth over 5000.
Altogether l have taken 622
sections of honey of which
$115 worth has been sold.
All my honey sells for 25
cents per section and l sell
out Just as fast as ] can de-
liver it."
This is true report of the
amateur experiences of city
beekeeper who, by reason of
his exacting duties. very often
had not a moment to devote
to his bees for several days at
a time. 1t is a most encour-
aging demonstration of the
possibilities of back-lot bee
keeping.
