ABLE TO TELL
HOUR, BUT NOT THE DAY

VENICE, Cal. Jan. 26.-That sea
gulls are able 10 distinguish II o'clock
noon from any other hour OF the day,
but not able 10 tell one day in the
week from another. Is the belief OF
the girl students OF the high school
here.
Every noon the gulls assemble on
the canal at the entrance to the high
school to be, fed by the nrrils, who
bring their lunches to school. They
arrive punctually al IL o'clock and
remain until the students return TO
their class rooms.
The gulls. however, do not remain
away on Saturdays. Sundays and holl-
days. They will flock to the high
school ea these days the same as on
school days. and when they are not
fed will screechingly circle the high
school buildings and at L o'clock fly
back TO the beach. N

suitable background for the gay tints
worn by the women in their summer
finery. The colors were soft, with
many white and a considerable num-
Der Of black and white costumes in
evidence. Except for turquoise-blue
and bright green, nearly all colors
were so toned down in shade or SO
lightened to tint that hardly a trace

for anyone else, to dispense with
stockings and sandals, but few people
care to avail themselves Of this pr1vt-
lege. The feet are more comfortable
in light sandals. And stockings make
quite an important element In the
good effect of the suit. 1t Is an item
of style, this dressing Of the feet
properly. The cap, as the picture
shows, is quite an elaborate bit OF
headwear, quite different from the
simple pulled cap of rubber cloth
which preceded 1t.
But the pretty bit of headwear pic
tured is hardly practical for the girl
that really swims. And she who dives
would be sure to leave 1t behind her
when she comes up. 1t Is all right for
those who only paddle about in the
water and stroll on the shore. For
real water sport the plain rubber cap
worn down yer the ears and fitting
snugly about the head is the only one
that will keep the hair dry, or partly
dry.
Every year the Importance of teach
ing girls to swim looms up larger and
larger. And once the little ones form
a taste for the water it is easy for
them to learn. because they desire 80
much to know how. Boys strike out
for themselves, usually, and soon mas
ter the art and enjoy themselves for
ever after.

SACRED TO TENDER MEMORY
Sunday Night Sparkling a Time OF
Joy That Leaves Its Impression
on the Heart.

The Sunday night sparkling Is a
sacred institution, the Manchester
Mirror and American remarks.
But for 1t, life would be at a GER
tain age not worth living, and race sui
eide would become indeed a matter
of serious apprehension.
The man who has not tender mem
cries of taking his girl home from Sun
day evening service and going in for
"a little while is apt to be a crusty
bachelor, hating women because he
never knew one in her most charming
attitude.
The man whose youth was never
mellowed by a Sunday night kiss,
stolen from not too unwilling lips, has
missed half his life.
Half? Yes, nine-tenths!
The Sunday nights when the fire
burned low-and the lamp, too-hold
a hallowed place in the memories of
every normal life. The. low fire and
the low light have cast a softened
glow that reaches all the way to the
grave.
They who are grown old and heart
hardened may sneer at 1t now and
think that young hearts should be
calloused as old ones are; but time
was with all of us when we looked
forward through the even days Of the
week to Sunday night as the golden
time of the week.
And our fathers did it. And our
grandfathers. And our great-grand-
fathers. 1t is an ancient human Gus
tom that did not originate with our

And our grandchildren will. And our
great-grandchildren. Generations come

OF STERLING MERIT
By MARY RuHL,

It seemed like a dream to Arthur
Leasing to be back again at Squire
Brenner's house that afternoon In
early May.
The placid New England country,
greer with young grass, the apple
trees in blossom, the well remembered
scenes came back SO viyidly to his
remembrance. 1t was four years
since he had left Wakefield, to make
his way in the world, and now, at the
age of twenty-six, he was back Bren-
ner's guest, and already with an es-
tablished position in the city.
1t was an open secret that he a
come back to ask Madge to be his
wife. They were old friends. She
had written to him sometimes, and
there was always a note of intimacy
in her letters. 1t had been an idyllic
love affair, though no word had been
spoken.
And they received him like an old
friend. When Madge shook hands
with him he felt the same subtle
touch of sympathy. And Edith, her
sister, smiled Us she greeted him.
She seemed to know; everybody knew
the purpose of his return during that
week that he was to be the guest Of
his fathers Oldest friend.
Squire Bremen alluded tactfully to
the impending engagement as they
strolled under the big chestnut trees
together.
The man who gets Madge will be
a lucky fellow" he said. "She is a
girl of sterling merit. And she will
inherit a good deal Of money" Then
he turned suddenly and shook hands
with the young fellow.
In the old days he and Leslie Carter
had been rivals for Madge. Leslie
had borne no malice when his suit
was gently declined. Leasing had
hardly expected to see Carter there
but he seemed to be on intimate
terms with the family. He, too, wal
a weekend guest at the Bremen
home.
During dinner Leasing noticed with
a touch of the old jealousy that Car
ter seemed to have established a
brotherly relationship with the girls
And this was all that was needed te
kindle the young mans determine
ton. He would ask Madge that night
The opportunity was easily arrived
at, for the squire retired to his IL
brary, and Mrs. Bremen nodded ovel
her sewing. The girls and Carter hat

gone out into the garden, LEASING
lingering behind to settle Mrs. Bren-
ner in her chair and put the knitting
needles In her lap. Then he hurried
out.
Madge was waiting for him! That
was a blunt way Of putting 1t, and
yet he knew that the anne instinct
of understanding which had always
bound them together had sent her
alone to that arbor beneath the chest
nuts. The night was dark; he could
only see her white dress shining. He
went softly toward her.
Dearest" he whispered, taking her
by the hands, II love you. Will you
be my wife?"
YES" she whispered, and pressed
her lips to his. And then he found
himself looking into Edith's dark eyes,
Il was well for his training that
he had been schooled in a difficult
world. He did not start or betray
himself. He linked her arm through
his and they started back toward the
house together.
And, at the door, stood Madge and
Carter.
Aren't you coming QUIT" Carter
began; and then the sight of Less
ing's face checked him.
Il want to tell you all" said Less
ing, that Edith has promised to be
my wife"
He kissed her again at the foot Of
the stairs and went up to his room.
He sat for hours in his chair,
thinking. ALI the rules Of his breed
ing told him that the mistake must
never be acknowledged. To ask q
woman to be ones wife and then to
hit her vas an objectionable offense
in his code. He knew Edith had al
ways cared a little for him; in the
old days there had been a little jeal-
ousy between the girls on that &C
count. But the thought OF Madge and
what he had lost, the look Of sur
prise upon her face at the announce
ment-these things made life seem
in~tolerable. And Edith loved him!
There was no possibility Of misunder'
standing what that expression had
meant when she kissed him.
A man who lives by a code Is bound
with silken threads stronger than
steel. Lessing knew that there was
no way out Of the ENHANCEMENT with
honor.
He was the first down In the morn
INK, but after he had paced the
grounds for a few minutes, Garter
Joined him.
II didn't have much chance to con
g~rutulate you last night" he said. OF

Value Of Human Energy.

To raise a dish Of strawberries for
your Christmas dinner requires
enough energy to grow your bread for
q year.
The studied care which produces
one orchid would, If employed in rails
ing potatoes, give you a supply for
many months. "
Labor is the vital commodity in
most Of the things we eat and wear
and enjoy. 1t changes a pound Of
metal worth a couple Of dollars into
watch parts worth thousands.
1t converts $12 worth of cloth into
a $50 suit of clothes. 1t multiplies
the value of steel a hundred times
when it makes razor blades.
When human energy is SO valuable
a thing, 1t is surprising how much Of
it is thrown away.-Philadelphia Pub
