In New York city Mrs. Story held the
important position of president of the
New York City Federation of Clubs, a
body numbering thousands of members.
Apart from her d. A. r. interests, Mrs.
Story finds time to be an active Co
lOnial Dame and to belong to numerous
other patriotic organizations. Yet Mr..
Story declares that his wife's hobby is
not joining and working.
All these clubs she's been telling
about, he always interposes, "are just
the merest incident in her life. Her real
hobby is her three boys. They are all
old enough to know better. but they are
as dependent upon her as if they We're
still in knickerbockers."
And it subsequently leaks out that Mrs.
Story. for all her youthfuness of ap-

old and Stirling Porter Story.

Too Much Parent.

From the Christian Register.
Parentitis is a disease name not found
in books. The thing it describes Is in
every family where a parent and grown
up children live together. 1t comes from
the survival of the parental instinct long
after there is any use for it, and from
the Inflammation caused by its unwel-
come exercise. Children get weaned from
their parents. 1t is advisable for their
fathers and mothers to get weaned from
them. The incessant and ubiquitous
watchfulness over generation old
enough to take care Of itself is unwise,
ineffective and harmful 1t pulls up
roots that must be let alone. if they are
to take root. 1t strains the will to obey
the fifth commandment to the breaking
point. 1t forces deception or conceaIment
on any self-respecting youth. It Is sure
to end in sorrow and bitterness. Every
parent ought to be able to alter the words
of the apostle and say of his children,
When they were children, thought OF
them as children: but when they became
men and women, ! put away childish
thoughts.

ATLANTIC CITY, y. J.,
December G. 1913.
The sun sinks into the evening sea
around 4:30 O'Clock these early winter
days, and shortly afterward the haze of
twilight begins to gather like a dark
mist along the shore. Lights begin to
twinkle and in two hours the vast stretch
of Boardwalk from the Inlet to ventnor
has become one scintillating white way.
From ships at sea the nighttime Board
walk is an inspiring sight At the dis
tance of a few miles the lights blend into
one another. and the long line of illumina-
ton appears to the passengers eye as
though a pencil of fire had been swept
along the horizon.
Smart gowns. expensive furs and mil
hnery of the very latest autumn and
winter creation featured the Boardwalk
review on the last Sunday in November.
The early winter weather was ideal, and
the Thanksgiving throngs remaining over
for the weekend augmented tn. usual

minutes in the chilly surf, causing a

ROAD BUILDING WOULD DEMAND MILLIONS
TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS IN NEVADA

perhaps, the attention and attendance
of about 20O0 people, mostly those
who reside within a radius of fifty
miles of Reno. SO far as that was
concerned, it IS almost safe to bet
that rs per cent of the people Of the
state did not know that fair was in
progress. and if they did know it
was noted with the mental reserya-
tion that It was a job on the part of
Reno to get people there and take
their money from them. SO far as
road building Is concerned, the Sl4O,-
900, If devoted to that purpose, would
build from fifty to one hundred miles
of substantial road, and who would
say where that road was to be built?
When Nevada begins to talk about
building state or county highways II
might as we'll begin talking about an
appropriation Of at least million
dollars for that project, for with the
experience of other states as guild
\ ing light, Il has been sufficiently
demonstrated that a statewide sys-
tenn Of roads cannot be built for any
! less. California, at the present time
Is prepared to spend fifteen millions
for road purposes; two or three coun
ties in Kansas alone are spending one
million each. and in Ohio, where
oad.building Is regarded as science
one county has appropriated foui
millions TO better their roads. WheI
Nevada starts into building roads
might as we'll make up its mind tina
il has got big job on it's hands AM
that IL is better to do It in an up-to
date manner than to further emplo'
the make.shift methods that hay
, been followed in the past, and which
no doubt. have cost several million
. and accomplished nothing. As an eY
, dence of this fact the fifteen dlitei
ent counties in the state, particular
Washoe, Ormsby Humboldt, Nye an
, Esmeralda. in the last two year
have spent over 100000 in repairin
old roads, and last summer fe
rains came along and in doze
: hours practically undid all of the
work. And this will always be q
finale of slip-shod work.
