ingly done and the American sal
lors beat the Britishers at their
own game.
One of the newest amusements
provided fer the sailors Is the
moving picture show, and this
they enjoy hugely. The Aims are
rented for the most part, though
the navy recently bought a set
which Mr.. Edison took depicting
the life of the sailor This is very
popular. How often exhibitions are
given depends on the weather and
where the ship happens to be. If
in port where the men can get
ashore, there is little need of spe-
cial recreation. But II on a cruise
or the weather is bad. then the
movies" are given two or three
exhibitions week. Apropos Of,
this feature Capt. H. B. Wilson of
the North Dakota is considering
plan to introduce the Kinemacolor
pictures soon.
Another innovation which Cap
tain Wilson is also responsible for.
according to Paymaster Bovine, Is
the setting aside of one of the gun
compartments on the ship as a
reading and writing room for the
sailors. Though small, 1t is a
great boon to them. for now they
can write comfortably at desk In
stead of onStheir ditty boxes. More
over. there are provided between
thirty and forty magazines with
two or three copies each Of the
daily papers. SO the sailors. when
at leisure, can pass the time read
ing If they SO elect.
"The sailors like dancing" adds
Paymaster Bovine" and though
they may not always take advan-
tage of the band concerts given
every noon and night, If a popular

to fix things up here without anything

I will, dear" conciliatorily, the
very first thing" as she meekly picked
up the despised tack hammer he had
thrown on the floor.

broke, one end flying up and hitting
him in the face.
| Furious, he sprang to his feet with
an oath. That's a d-thing to give
man to open trunk with! You ought
to know better than that. You squan-
der all kinds of money on all sorts Of
foolish things, but when it comes to

looking hammer.
He took them into the storeroom
where Helen was waiting nervously.

Now, I guess We'll get this open,"
grimly.
He slipped the chisel under the lock

He glared at her.

He gave the chisel another stroke

threw down the hammer and with all

Then he threw open the lid with
such force that it was almost torn
from the hinges in the back.

slamming the door hard.
Helen leaned her head against the
open trunk and sobbed weakly. There

To Helen this was as yet a new ex-

at Y Ellen, where did you put

Your shoe trees? l

But that hasn't been unpacked yet.
Don't you remember you said leave
that to the last-that it held mostly
your winter clothes and things you
wouldn't need soon.
well, forgot about the shoe trees.
Well have to get them out"
Helen assented eagerly. She loved to
unpack and handle things; it seemed
to bring her nearer to him-to make
her position of wife more sweet and
intimate. One of her greatest pleas.
ures since their marriage had been
in unpacking and arranging his
clothes and books in their new home.
When she had packed these things,
she would tell herself, he had done it
alone. And now, she, his wife, was I'M
packing them. They belonged now to
her, too.
A Surrounding Glamour.
A mans wardrobe and possessions
are always full of interest and charm
for his young wife. Just the masculin-
ity of all appeals to her. His shaving
apparatus, his collars and ties and mil
itary brushes-all these things are
surrounded with a glamour, both be-
cause they are essentially masculine
and because they are his.
Helen spent hours lingering over
them, arranging and rearranging them
in his chiffonier and clothes closet.
She found many things, college and
schoolboy trophies that seemed to
take her into periods of his life in
which she had had no place, and of
which until now, she had been vaguely
jealous.
So she greeted joyfully the thought
of another trunk to be opened and
more things of his which she had not
yet seen.
Where are the keys? think there's
some vests in that trunk which l want
out, too"
They went into the little room they
had reserved fer storeroom. Later
on it was to be turned into an extra
bedroom, but just now it was full of
packing boxes and trunks.
Unlocking The Trunk.
He dragged the canvas trunk toward
the window, unfastened the iron clasp
and then tried to unlock. it. But the
key would not turn. He shook the lock,
lifted it up and pressed down, but still
the key remained fixed.
Perhaps that isn't the right key,
DEAR" she suggested.

Then he tried to force it, but without
success. His face was flushed now and
he was fast losing patience.
Have you chisel around here? 1t

81 don't think we have a chisel."
well, what have you got" irritably,
that can slip under here?"
would a tack hammer do?" anx-
iously 1.-The end you draw tacks
with?'
Let's see it," briefly.
She hurried into the kitchen and
back.
"That?" contemptuously, holding up
a meagre little tack hammer. Got It at
the ten cent store didn't you? When
you buy tools, don't you know enough
to buy good ones?"

Of Course Not

Sir J. Forbes-Robertson, addressing
suffragist meeting at Sheffield, told
the story of lady who called on a
prominent Edinburgh tradesman with
the intention of getting him to sign a
memorial in favor of Lord Miners
South African jolicy.
rs it money ye're wantin'?" was his
first query.
After he had been treasured on that
point, he wanted to know who Lord
Miner was.
1t was explained that his lordship
was our proconsul in South Africa.
Whats a proconsul?" said the Ed.
inburgh man.
Another explanation followed.
Finally, when the lady had satisfied
all the BRIDESMAIDS queries, he agreed
to sign.
But we're not letting the women
sign this?" said he, anxiously.
''Oh, no." replied the lady.
"Ah! That's right-that's right. Ye
ken the women know naething at all
about these things!"

| selves about the decline in popularity
of England's national summer game.
And while they have been expanding
much breath and wasting much ink
in their denunciations of present
methods, without in most cases, offer
ing any practical suggestions for the
| improvement of the game, the oppo-
site sex have gone quietly to work
and hit upon a scheme which would
do much toward awakening new in
| terest in cricket
Lady crickstcrs, of course, are no
novelty, but county elevens composed
of ladies certainly are. The suggestion
emanates from the ladies of Devon
shire, who, during the last three years,
have taken up cricket enthusiastically.
/ They are anxious to form a county
team, if other counties will do the
same; and certainly there is some ex-
cellent material from which county
! elevens of ladies might be built
Coached by Professionals.
| In Miss E. Phillips, the Duffield La
dies Cricket Club, Dcrbyshire, has a
remarkable lady cricketer, who last
year possessed a batting average of %
for nine completed innings. And many
other excellent records have been es-
tablished by members of the cricket
teams which play the game very seri-
ously at the important girls schools,
RCedean, Cheltonham College, and
| Wycombe Abbey. All these colleges
turn out splendid elevens, and the girls
IRE so keen that they often enlist the
services of professional cricketers to
coach them.
1t is the ladies of Lancashire, how
ever, who would probably excel in
county championship for women. In
Manchester and district they have
formed a womans cricket league, con-
sisting of eight clubs in the first divis
ion and a similar number in the sec
ond. So far the best women's cricket
eleven in the county of the red rose is
the Sedgley Park Ladies' Club. who
last year carried all before them, los
ing only one match out of sixteen play
ed. This excellent record was mainly
due to the wonderful hitting powers
