A Space For Our Little Friends
MAKING OF OUR FLAG.
Romantic Story Of Betsy Ross and the
First Stars and Stripes.

Among h interesting old houses Of
Il Quaker City Qhiladelphia) none
other attracts more pilgrims on June
II than the old fashioned domicile at
239 Arch street, once the Betsy Ross
house.
The story of the flag maker is very
romantic. In 1862 the heroine was born.
n was the daughter OF Samuel and
Rebecca (James) Griscom, and it was
said she was Il granddaughter of An
drew Griscom, who imported English
bricks to this country and with them
built ''the first brick house" in phila-
delphia. The heroine was named Eliz-
abeth. and when she grew up a pretty
girl her thoughts ranged away from
Quaker meeting to young John Ross,
Il member OF the Church of England.
Friend Griscom froWned upon John
Ross, and II day Betsy eloped with
her worldly lover, joined his church
and became a regular communicate of
Christ church.
The pew. No.. IL. north aisle Of Christ
church. is that once occupied by the
flag maker. The flag placed on the pill
lar and Il brass plate, with inscription,
mark the pew.
John Ross worked at his trade of up
holsterer, and Elizabeth gave him as
sistance.
Early in June, 1777, a committee of
congress, including Robert Morris and
Colonel George Ross and accompanied
by General George Washington. came
to the Ross house. They We're receiv-
ed in the little back parlor Of the shop
and trod upon the heavy oak floor we
may tread today il we make the pill
grilnage. Their eyes must have seen
the tiled open fireplace, but only five
quaint tiles remain of the original
group. The others are modern. The
committee asked Mrs. Ross to make Il
flag with thirteen stripes alternately
red and white, with a canton contain
ing thirteen white stars on a blue field.
The flag thus designed in the little
back parlor was formally adopted by
congress June II, 1777.

wealth suddenly and squander-
ing 1t in unusual ways. One of the
most prominent of sue cases was that
of Coal Oil Johnny" Steele. who was
made very rich by the discovery Of Pc
troleum on Il farm he owned. He spent
his fortune in spectacular ways and
then Sanll into comparative Obscurity.
While his money lasted he was known
as the prince of spenderS."
But the story Of Coal Oil Johnny is
dwarfed by that of Pedro Alvarado, a
Mexican. son of a peon and Il Mexican
ona pedro'S father saved his
money till he had 500 and bought
with it I, rocky hill. On his deathbed
he eXarted Il promise from his son
that he would never sell the land.
Pedro ~prospected it for silver and one
day found himself in possession of Il
mine that paid him $4,000 Il day.
This amount for Il year of. say, 300
working days amounts to $4,000. 900

had known nothing but abject poverty.
But Pedro Alvalado, unlike Coal
Oil Johnny" did not waste his money
in dissipation. \ mania for something

That lie had any prediction for mu-
sic. 1t was simply the form Of mania
that struck him, he having unlimited
means at his command.
The story of Pedro Alvarado is a
number of stories. Perhaps the most
curious II OF all is that of his wife's
foresight. Pedro had no idea of bust

work his mine in Il primitive way.
which was most expensive. He paid
everybody connected with his mine an
enormous salary, besides which his
employees helped themselves to what
they could lay their hands on. Instead
of building a railroad to carry his ore
he sent it by mule. Perhaps the mine

is singular that while she and her hus-
band had been poems and had drudged

OF the fact that he might return to his
degradation, while his wife took pre-
cautions against it.
When Pedro's mine began to show
signs OF running out he was advised
that in order to keep it paying he must
work it on business principles-he must
cut down the wastage, due to his meth
DDS; he must retrench in the matter
OF salaries; he must stop the stealing.
But he had not the ability to change.
AS the amount Of silver taken u of
his mine decreased it was met by the
expenditures, and there was nothing
over; the n balanced the other.
According to all we'll told stories. Sc
nora AlvaradO, who had been sewing
up thousand dollar bills, should now
come forward and take the lead. But
true stories have Il way Of running
like water-in channels they make for
themselves. The good woman did not

When Pedro had got out all the bills

over his mine to others who We're ready

nearly a million which his wife had

value of the wife he has lost? That
is a question. Only Pedro himself

GOOD FORM.
Hints as to the Correct Etiquette For
Engaged Couples.

Engage ouPieS
An engaged girl should write to her
personal friends to tell them the news,
while her mother writes to older rela-
tives and friends.
Letters of congratulation in answer
to these should be written as soon as
possible.
Young girls do not write to their
men friends to congratulate them on
an engagement. They either congratu-
late them personally or not at all.
1t is considered extremely bad form
for engaged couples to be too demon
strative in public. They should try to
be rs natural and unaffected as pos
sible. so as to avoid causing embar-
rassment to others.
The engagement ring should always
be worn once it has been placed in
position. 1t is useful as n friendly
warning to any unwary and oversus-
ceptible admirers.
Those who invite engaged couples to
their houses should make a point of
sending them down to dinner together
lANt vi tOlIlS III IA lliNl lo"CA W SAo"
that they recognize and approve of the
engagement.
A girl may dance practically as Of
ten as she pleases with her tiance. al
though, of course, she will do well not
to forget entirely all her old friends
in this respect.
1t is the girls privilege to ask any
friends she likes to act as her brides
maids, but it is an understood thing
that some relative of the bridegroom
shall be among the number.
Friends Of Il bridegroom who are I'M
acquainted with the brides family
send their wedding presents to him,
and he forwards them to the brides
mother, so that they may be OF view
with the other presents on the we'd
ding day.
