present is essentially a season Of dainty
effects and embroideries are greatly in
vogue. For children. however, the
designs are apt to be simple and,
consequently, no very great amount Of
labor is involved Boys as well as girls
wear embroidery and little dresses that
otherwise would be quite plain ara

the place Of the less useful novelties

colored dresses this season that the

peculiarly dainty. color often is used,
for this is a color season and as a
result, the embroideries arc infinitely
varied. Eyelet work is a pronounced
favorite but some Of the very best
effects are obtained by combining it
Vith the raised embroidery, for the

trimming only as finish for the neck

frocks made Of white voile and trimmed

treatment would be charming; or, one
could fancy the little dress made Of
dotted Swiss muslin with lace banding

CHILDREN HELP RED CROSS
SEAL SALE.

Children are among the most eager
buyers of Red Cross Seals, and many
a little boy or girl sets real ex-
ample of generous giving to the
"grown-ups." For illustration, a
teacher in a Massachusetts school
tells of one small, shabby girl who
brought in a penny for a seal, and
the next day purchased another. She
then looked up into the teacher S
face with great satisfaction and ask
ed, naively, There! How many peo-
pie do you think that will cure?"
An urchin in another school, after
hearing the teacher explain about
the Christmas Seals and how all the
money raised by the sale of them
will go toward fighting off the white
plague, came to his teachers desk
the next morning and bought a
stamp. Then he fingered, and the
teacher inquired what he wanted to
ask her
'Will that really go to give medi-
cine for sick people and help cure
'em?" he inquired.
1T will help" was the answer.
Gee, but isn't that fine" he eX-
claimed, his face shining.

Miss Leona Dalrymple, of Passaic,
N. j., recently received a check for
$40, 900, with the notice that she had
won the first prize in a novel-writing
contest. Miss Dalrymple's story,
which is to be published under the
title of "Diane of the Green Van,"
was one of nearly a thousand manu-
scripts offered in the contest. S. s..

were the judges, and they agreed in
the selection of Miss Dalrymple's s

UNEXCELLED WEATHER FOR
SHOPPING.

The weather for the past week has
been unexcelled for Christmas shop
ping. 1t cannot be depended upon to
last very much longer, therefore
there can be no better time to do
shopping than at the present time,
The roads are also in good condition.
Honesdale stores are filled with
beautiful goods of every description,
including all kinds of things suitable
for Christmas gifts in greater abund-
ance and larger variety than were
ever shown in Honesdale before Our
merchants are not only abreast with,
but in the front with an excellent
line of holiday gifts that compare
favorably with those in city stores.
The shopper is surprised when she
enters Honesdale's various stores to
find exactly what he wants, although
she has not made up her mind what
she does want until she sees it at
tractively displayed.
Our florist and dealers in trees and
other greenery are now receiving
their display for the Christmas
trade and these were never more
attractive than they are now. 1t is
hardly necessary to urge Honesdale
and Wayne county people to shop
early when all conditions are so ia
vorable.

MOVIES AND MORALS.

The phenomenal popularity of the
moving picture shows and the won
derful multiplication of the houses
giving such entertainments in this
and other cities call attention to the
need of supervising the character of
the films so promiscuously shown to
the public. The low price of admis-
sion attracts hundreds of thousands
of children and the impressions
made upon their immature minds un-
doubtedly plays part in the forma-
tion of character. There is suppos-
\ ed to be sort of censorship over
these pictures, but if one is to judge
.krom the type of subjects so frequent
selected it must be of a very
ose and incompetent kind. Stories
crime in which the criminal is
}prified appear only too often. Train
bbers and safe breakers are pre-
nted in style calculated to hold
em up to public approval instead
depicting them as they are, as
foundrels and as enemies of So
ety.
In Ohio they have motion picture
nsors, and recent report says that
t of 5000 films examined 6S were
ndemned outright and modification
dered in 500 others. Among the
Fenes eliminated we're such as re-

vealed thugs tying a victim to a
railroad track; an insane butcher
clubbing a helpless old man; wom-
an putting poison in a decanter to
kill her husband; a gang of thieves
thrusting a man into dungeon and
turning in water from the sewers on
him; a murderer spreading rat pois-
on on a slice of bread; a woman en-
gagged in the indecencies of the mus
Gle dance and brace of crooks
cracking safe.
The mere enumeration of these
subjects should be sufficient to cause
their condemnation. But the pro-
jectors of these films evidently
count on the love for the immoral
and the horrible that turks in the
minds of some persons, and are will
ing to go to any lengths to obtain the
ready dimes and nickels. Incidental
ly it might be said that the greatest
evil at the present time is not in the
suggestive pictures but in those that
become an incentive to crime by
throwing a halo of romance about
the most despicable criminals.
1t need hardly be said that there
are numerous moving picture houses
that give entertainments that are
entertaining and instructive and
against which no reasonable COM
plant can be made. But there are
others that are in urgent need OF
drastic censorship. 1t seems a pity
that an invention which has such
marvellous possibilities for innocent
and lawful amusement should be in
danger of falling into disrepute be-
cause of the Indifference, the care
lessness or the criminal cupidity of g
few of its promoters. 1t is not toe
late to mend, though, and if the film
makers and the proprietors of the
shows realize their own best interests
they will eliminate the objection
able pictures. If they fail or decline
to do this then the authorities should
step in and do it for them,-Phila.
delphia Inquirer.
IF it is not out of place we fee
like saying Amen to the above edi.
torial. Right here in Honesdale there
ought to be censorship committee
which would pass upon the pictures
before exhibited to children. Only 6
few days ago there was advertised
reel that contained blood curdline
and sensational scenes" They were
nice pictures to exhibit before chill
dren, especially before going to bed!
No wonder children who are inclined
to be nervous cry out in their sleeI
and are afraid and want to creep into
bed with mother. The time has come
when a local as well as a nationa
censor board should be in existence
