When loving hands finally
untangled Peaches from the
chain drive Of a rocking chair,
she found that, with the help of
the rowing machine she had lost
nearly two pounds-mostly off
the end Of her elbow.
A day or two later Mrs. Fitz-
enstaatz, who tips the beam at

seal and told Peaches that her

then take hold of the handles
and try to pull it off again.
Bright and early the next
glad morning Peaches grabbed
the handles and was getting
away from her fat little self at
! the rate of an ounce an hour
when one of the rubber strings
suddenly quit the job and then
something kicked Peaches just
where good singer gets her
coloratura.
When Peaches fell wounded
on the field of battle she decided
hurriedly that something must
fall with her, so she selected

there was such a crash that our

water over Peaches's facial ex-
preston before she came to, and
then she found that all she had
lost by the new process was her
breath and S34 worth of rec
ords.
She was sitting on a Caruso,
with her left foot embedded in
a Tetrazzini while fragments of
a Victor Herbert medley nestled
coyly in her hair.
Mrs. Gadfrey dropped in next
day about lunch time and told
Peaches that the only real way
to reduce the flesh is to take
a long walk; so Peaches picked
out a long walk and took it.
After she was gone about six
hours, and it was getting dark,
she called me up on the long
distance and broke the news to
me that she had walked some
| fifteen miles, and that she had
been terribly extravagant, and
had used up all the walk that
was in her, and would l please
be so kind as to send taxi and
not leave her to perish in al
strange land among the savage
tribes in the Bronx.
When Peaches reached home
that night she found that all
the flesh she had lost was her
pocketbook containing ten dol
lars, and | was set back ten dol
lars for cab hire, making a total
reduction of four pounds-Eng-
lish money,
A few days later while | was
down town Mrs. Carruthers
dropped in, also at lunch time,
and carefully explained to

to beat back an attack of avoir-
dupois is to take electric baths.

Editor Ocala Star: Referring to
the lengthy communication OF Mr.. J.
VI. Meffert. printed in yesterdays
Star. permit US 10 say that our for
mer statement in behalf Of the Flor
ida Power Company had no bear
ings" on Mr.. Meffert. or any other
person
1t was reported 10 US that there
was political talk to the effect that
Florida Power Company was taking
an interest in the city election with
the view Of making a contract for
furnishing power to the city. We
simply wished to put the quietus
upon all such talk, without regard to
its origin or the motive behind it.
To our previous statement We will
add that Florida Power Company
within the past two weeks, has enter
ed into contract with the Dunnellon
Phosphate Company to furnish hy-
dro-electric power for phosphate min
ing operations To fill this and other
contracts previously existing will re-
quire all the current our company
can guarantee.
Last June the company had power
for sale. Now it has none. We re-
peat that what Ocala may do in the
approaching election is of no con-
Germ to Florida Power Company.
Yours respectfully,

SIRENS OF THE SEA
Those of Present Day Haunt
Ships Instead of Cliffs.
Modern Enchantresses Live in Small
Staterooms Aboard PaiatiaI Liners
That PLY Between Port of New
York and Foreign Shores.

New York.-Those ancient entan-
glers of men who in the Moreric myth
ology used their Establishments over
mariners, have their successors today
for those who travel by the sea.
The sirens of ancient days-Par-
thenope, Ligea and Leucosia and the
rest of their CLASSIFIED in cliffs and
caves of islands between Sicily and
Italy.
Their successor of today travel first
class in sumptuous ocean hotels. They
have discarded their wings and half
bird and half-fsh costumes for Paris
creations, with headgear from Fifth
avenue and the Rue de la PaiX. Long
since the double flute of the marine
sorceresses of Homer has been eA-
changed for a lorgnette, a fan or d
cigarette
The presence of the modern siren
on the great ships of today is not
known to the general and nonobserv-
ant traveller. But two classes know
of her existence very well-her vic
tins and the "gangplank" detectives.
There is and has been for two gen
erations along the North river water
front a regularly organized staff of
sleuths and plain clothes men who are
independent Of the uniformed police
and headquarters plain clothes men.
The business has been transmitted
from father to son.
The names Of these marine de-
tectives seldom appear in print, but
they are very important people never
the less, for they watch the passen-
| gers on ocean vessels and separate
the sheep from the goats.
These quiet, unobtrusive men, who
look like steamship men or managers
/ of passenger traffic, glue their eyes
upon every traveller passing up or
! down a gangplank, ernbarking this
| week and returning weeks hence On
| the deck of the vessel within or with
! out the three-mile limit violations OF
| conventions or noncompliance with
! laws which obtain on land are difficult
/ of detection.
The twentieth century siren, from
a liking for the sea, chooses a swell
suite on a liner in preference to the
| no longer pOellC anu HOW uupi cAtdDic
| habitation of Gree lying along the
course from the country Of the Cy
clops.
Instead of picking the bones OF
mariners. over whom they formerly
exercised their powers, strewing their
skeletons thickly around their dwell
ings. they now dine in the floating res
taurants of international name and
pick the bones Of pheasants and
ptarmigans instead. They drink rare
| vintagss, while the old style siren was
| presumably content with water. Over
| her and her movements the pier sleuth
| watches.
| What his pocketbook, containing
! every known detail Of offensive and
! defensive armor Of every warship in
| the world is to the naval officer, so his
| little book is TO the pier sleuth; for, as
| Koko says. the detective whispers Of
