WERE NOT AT ALL DIvERTlNG
Serious-Minded Quaker Saw Nothing
to Smile at in the Lighter Poems
of Whittier.

The late Gertrude Whittier Cart
land, cousin of Whittier, the Quaker
poet, presented an ideal picture of
the sanity aged Quakeress. fie;-r
sweet, serene face, framed in its tight
little bonnet, seemed to shine with
clear. spiritual radiance; to hear her
recite, in voice of tranquil music,
the hynyt-s and graver poems OF her
famous relative was always densht-
full.
But she did not have her cousins
lively sense of humor; and it was
hard to tell whether this LACK lessen
ed or increased the effect, when in
exactly the same grave, even tones.
she occasionally read aloud some of
licatlon, but for the pleasure Of his
intimate circle. That was always
light, frequently gay, sometimes fair
ly rollicking.
Her admiration for the writer made
her try very hard to appreciate his
fun; and she thought she did SO: yet
mirth seemed always an alien to her
tongue as a red rosette pinned upon
her dove-gray shoulder-shawl would
have been to her costume. This in
congruity was felt, doubtless, by an
other Friend, of even more serious
mind than she, who once said to her
reprovingly:
The verses are harmless, and
perceive they are intended to be
diverting; but thew 10 not divert me-,
Gertrude, and ! do not think they
really divert thee. Be honest with
myself; if thee read them and did not
know thy cousin Greenleaf wrote
them, would thee not consider them
extremely silly? Thee knows | mean
no affront, and greatly admire thy
cousin Greenleaf. Surely he is a
great poet; but great poet may some
times write such silly stuff. And sure
| ly this time thy cousin has done it..
Reflect and thee will agree with me"

autumn materials needed in this case,
pray remember that the first fabrics

sometimes happens that they are left

Let me conclude by saying that
ready-made women's wear is quite as

that many a garment seen is adapted

That One Tniro Lackiho

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle of the modern Irish
movement, is fond of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
1T was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget, and they were having a
church wedding. 1t was a grand af-
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes. white vest and flaming
tie. Bridget shone attractively In
many colors. The ceremony was over.
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle, out into the street, where a
great crowd greeted them with delight.
Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said, in loud
whisper, Och, Pat, if we could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch
ed ourselves pass, wouldn't it have
beer hiviin'"

New Yorker Remembers Service
on Constitution.
Emmanuel j. Rauch, Eighty-Six Years
Old, Who Was on Vessel 20 Years
Ago, Said to Be the Only One
of the Crew Left.

New York.-Emmanuel J. Rauch be-
lieves that he is the Oldest survivor Of
those who served on the United States
ship Constitution. He was born in
Chester County, Pennsylvania, on No
vember 6, 1926, and is far from show
ing his Sc years.
His discharge from the Constitution
is dated February 1S43. He looks like
a man of about 65 and we'll preserved
at that.
1t was on July IS, the hundredth an
niversary of the escape of Old Iron
sides from a British fleet, that re-
porter called on Mr.. Rauch. The date
suggested to Mr.. Rauch that in 1886.
on the anniversary of that event, he
witnessed at the Philadelphia navy
yard the launching of the United
States line of battle-ship Pennsylvania,
then the largest sea-going vessel in
the world.
THE Pennsylvania was what was
called a four-decker." said Mr.. Rauch,
although she really had five decks.
She was pierced for lao guns, but real
ly carried 160-they were cast iron
guns in those dGys-of which the
heaviest were eigLtoen-pounders.
THE Pennsylvania had been start
ed about 1911, but for years had lain
halfway out of the ways and had
nearly rotted to pieces when the gov
eminent decided to finish her. She
was never really equipped, but took
the spars of the Ohio and sailed to
Norfolk, where she became school
and nursing ship. She was not any
good sea-going vessel"
How did you come to take to the
sea?" Mr. Rauch vas asked.
In 1889 congress, anxious to get
better element into the navy--Uncle
Sans sailors were a pretty hard lot
in those days--passed bill allowing
lads between the ages of thirteen and
fifteen to be apprentices for three
years and then, after having passed
an examination, which included French
aIG Spanish, to become full-blown mid
shipmen.

HAT WELL WORTH COPYING
One of the Best OF Partisan Designs
Easily Within Reach of the
Home Milliner.

A very exclusive French shop shows
an unusual hat. imported recently
from Paris-one that most women who
are clever at doing fancy work and
love to trim their own hats can easily
copy.
1t was a large white chip picture
hat; the crown and brim were COW
piled by cutting a circular piece of
chiffon about six inches larger than
the circumference of the hat, then
hemmed on the edge and a silk
covered wire run through the hem.
This wire was sewed on the under
brim, about half inch back from
the edge.
The fullness of chiffon was then
caught at irregular intervals on the
crown and brim, held in place with
small clusters of flowers crocheted
with bright-colored wooden yarn.
Some of them were tiny blossoms,
just five little shells crocheted around
central point and joined to few
small green leaves that had been cut
from dark green velvet.
The colors in the flowers were rich
reds, yellows, blues in varying shades,
but all having the Mellow tinge of the
orient. Some were fashioned of gold
thread, but most OF them were wool.
On the left side, placed at the base of
the crown, was a cluster of large
crocheted flowers and leaves wired to
stand to the height of the crown,
while some of them rested well down
on the brim.
That was all, but the effect was
distinctive and altogether charming.
Well worth copying, II one has time
for such dainty work and loves un-
usual things-New York Press.
