to Paris-Allied Fleet Active.

The British governments reply to
the American note concerning contra
band probably will be sent before the

the activity of French ships IN search
ing Mediterranean cargoes.
Constant negotiations are in pro-
gress between the Allies and the neu-
trail European countries situated near
Germany looking to tightening Of
the export regulations, which will
prevent American shipments from
reaching Germany and Austria
through neighboring countries other
than Italy.

DELAYED THE SALUTE.
BattIeship Delaware Awaited Orders
to Salute Vera Cruz.

The American battleship Delaware,
which relieved the Rhode Island at
Vera Cruz when that vessel sailed
with Rear Admiral Mclean for New
Orleans, did not deliver the custom
ary salute to the port until Thursday.
It was explained that the salute was
suspended until instructions were re-
ceived from Washington that it
should be given.
A naval regulation prohibits firing
of salutes to ports whose govern
ments have not been recognized.
Since the overthrow Of Madero, how
ever, all ships visiting Mexican ports
have given salutes except during the
occupation Of Vera Cruz.

Three Varieties of Bread

It is we'll to know something Oh the
differences of the three varieties OF
bread-white wholemeal and brown
TO aid the matter Of choice In individ-
nal cases. White bread Is made of the
inside of the wheat; It is practically
all starch, with a small amount of
proteid, much OF that contained In
the grain being removed in the outer
she'll SAYS the Paterson Evening
News. White bread is, therefore, less
valuable for building up the body and
system, but at the same time is the
most digestible Of the three varieties.
Wholemeal bread, in contradistinc-
tion, contains the whole grain, after
the husk has been removed; it rs
therefore richer in proteid than the
white variety, and where digestion
need not be considered may De looked
upon as the best kind for the ordinary
diet OF those in normal health.
Brown bread completes the list, and
contains not only the whole grain, but
also the husk OF bran; this has no
nutritive value, but Is very good in
providing a sufficiency of bulk, a point
apt to be overlooked by those who
consider food from the scientific
standpoint, and also of real import
ance where growing boys and girls
are concerned.
The bran or husk present also sets
up q healthful mechanical irritation
Of tho bowels, and so Is very useful
in cases of chronic constipation,
which are also helped by the bulk
mess of the food.

Vacation Hints

Be discreet as to your companions
and your hours. Never loiter until an
unseemly hour with young men on the
beach or in the dark corners of the
porch. You may think such conduct
is an indication of your popularity
but in reality 1t will cause you to be
Stunned by the nice girls and boys
later on.
If subscription picnics, sails or eu-
chres are given, either subscribe your
dues or ask your chaperon to sub
scribe for you. Guests must do these
things to be really in the swim at a
summer resort If fair or bazaar Is
given for charity, try to think up
some original article to mako and sell,
or something new in the way of a
booth. Originality and a willingness
to help make time fly at a resort are
always at a premium, says writer
of the Washington Star. If the big
boys" do not flock around you at first,
do not hold aloof and sulk. Make
yourself agreeable to some of the
other folks, and the admiration of
middle-aged men or even older can
float you on to belleship with their
sons and younger brothers.
Keep your hotel room in good order.
Do not toss your clothes about or
strew your bed and bureau with tro-
phies of wood or beach. You would
be surprised to learn how chamber
maids carry tales and gossip about
your personal habits.
IF you have much money with you
and any valuable articles Of 1eweiry,
keep them in the office safe. Or, II
you prefer, wear around your waist
a belt from which hangs chamois
bag to hold money, brooches, rings,
etc Never leave any of them IN your
room, even in locked room.

Queer Pets

The craze for strange animals grows
stronger every day among wealthy
women. Snakes, pigs and monkeys
are domesttcated as pets.
A young countess has pet SOUR
rel, which she keeps mostly in tho
pocket of her sporting coat. She has
to have 1t with her as 1t bites most
other persons, particularly her gov
erness. She puts 1t to sleep by cross
ing its paws one on each Of its eyes,
when It rolls into a ball and remains
at rest as long az she wishes Buff
falo Sunday Times contributor says,
A well-known heiress had two pet
lambs, which were always carefully
washed and dressed with pink rib
bons. She went away from homo for
a long time and when She returned
she found two sheep washed and
dressed with ribbons. Then she and
the sheep parted.

shadow from which she could see
plainly. Presently they began to sing
weird song whose words were these:
Witches we are from over the world,
Here on the breath of the gale we
are hurled,
We bring stolen treasure from all or
the EARTH
And we shout and we dance In our
wild witches mirth
We buried 1t safe in the old hollow
tree,
Where never a mortal or fairy can
But If any person should upset this
pot,
Why never again could we come TO
this spot.
They took out of the tree a great
chest, and when they opened it Reba
saw 1t was full of gold and flashing
gems. Then they buried 1t again In
the hollow trunk of the tree and piled
dead leaves over the spot. After that
they sat down on the side OF tho cir
Gle just opposite the girl.
Reba knew that the treasure was
all stolen and that her money had
been hidden in the chest. Then she
remembered what they had said in
the song.
So Reba got a long pole, and
watching till the hags were slumber-
ing in the moonlight, under an old
willow, crept up and gave the pot a
push, then fled out of their view some
distance off behind big oak. AS SCOT
as the broth began to spill out or
the fire it set up a horrible smell
which woke the witches. Then ou
of the smoke and smell flew hundreds
of bats that stuck on the old hags
heads.
Jumping up with wild screams, the
witches clapped their hands above
their brows, then set out racing wild
ly across the log. In a few minutes
they were out of sight. Tho smoke
cleared away and Reba ran to the
spot.
1t took her but a few minutes to
dig up the treasure chest, and when
the lid was raised she found there
was thousands and thousands Of dol
lars worth of gold, gems and Jewelry
so she filed her apron full and ran
home, pouring the riches out before
her astonished mothers eyes. They
had enough to enable them to live
in every comfort for the rest of their
lives (o) 1915

Diary of q Well
Dressed Girl

now She Made Picnic Blouse
l wonder why picnlcs are, as a rule,
such disappointing affairs? You live
in blissful anticipation of the fun In
store for you, and spend hours max
Ing a palatable lunch and select the
clothes you are to wear with a care
| worthy of presentation at court
and. as on previous occasions, you
are doomed to have a stupid time.
Each year, when l come home tired
and jaded after a day on the noun
tain, | VOW never again to be among
those present at our annual picnic,
and the following summer l do Just
the same. hoping that something viii
happen to make 1t interesting.
l voiced a strong protest against
going this year. but mother insisted
| that Cicely ought not to be deprived
of the outing, and since she wanted
to run the motor boat across the lake,
that l had better go with her
1t is impossible not to absorb some
of Cicely's enthusiasm, and before
knew it I found myself as anxious
to go a-picnicking as she.
We left this side of the lake at 8
o'clock so that we would have the
long climb up the mountain in the
cool morning. We both wore white
linen skirts and blouses and Panama
hats with striped ribbon bands.
Cicely has suddenly taken a fancy
to dress as nearly like me as pos
sible without our appearing like the
Siamese twins. When | selected a
sports blouse of white linen with the
collar and cuffs of green, and white
blazer striped linen, none of her
blouses seemed appropriate, and she
concluded that the only thing to do
was to duplicate mine.
Accordingly, she cancelled her en-
gagement to go motoring with Fred
Heller and spent the afternoon maxi
ing the blouse. OF course, I helped
and donated enough blue and white
striped-linen, left from my beige linen
frock, for the trimming.
Fortunately Cicely and 1 are about
the same size, so I used my blouse
for the pattern. cutting the front and
back exactly the same. There wasn't
enough of the linen to make long
sleeves like mine, so we concluded to
extend them just below the elbows
They are fitted into the normal arm
holes without fullness, and / made
the oddly shaped cuff of the striped
linen with the stripes running in
horizontal lines.
The back section extends over the
shoulders to give yoke erect IN
front. I cut the neck line rather low
and finished 1t with a deeply pointed,
turned down collar.
Cicely worked the buttonholes and
| sewed on the pearl buttons while
made a cravat of black grosgrain
silk and knotted 1t through the two
embroidered eyelets at the base OF
| the collar.
Cicely thought that a patch pocket
would improve the blouse and give
her a place to keep her "hanky," and
after saw the pocket neatly at
tached in place I made q similar ad-
dition to my blouse.
We went to the picnic arrayed in
the pristine freshness of our white
linen costumes, and after spending a
day sitting upon pine needles and
moss and eating picnic fare over
which the little woodsy bugs crawled
to their hearts content, came home
looking as bedraggled as Fourth of
July decorations after a shower.
Cicely has lost her enthusiasm for
picnios until the next ono is pro-
posed

Coats in Plaiids and Checks

For motoring and travelling there
is an excellent demand for coats made
of smart looking rich plaids and
novelty checks, as well as for plain
colored wool velours and wool jerseys,
says the Dry Goods Economist. The
majority of these coats are made
in quarter and seven-eighths
lengths, with more or less fare in the
skirt section.
The collars are high and fit the neck
rather closely. Frequently the collars
and cuffs are made as a plain colored
cloth, leather suede or fur. Smart
looking pockets and belts often give
pretty finishing touch.
For sport wear coats are also made
of plaids, checks and rich plain colors,
but range In length from about thirty
two to thirty-six inches.

you must not stay in town late,
Reba," said the sick mother as she
lay upon the cot by the window. ut
is the eve of the Witches dance, and
l am afraid for you to be alone in the
woods"
So Reba took up the basket of eggs
and butter, put on her cloak, kissed
her mother and hurried away to sell
the things to a shopkeeper in the viii
lage.
Reba was very successful and soon
sold her things for a good price and
set out toward her home AS the way
lay through the woods, she walked
quickly, for the sun was beginning to
droop toward the west. Hardly had
she gone few yards when she tripped
and fell, and as she rose to her feet
she heard a moclSing laugh sounding
as If from some one running down a
dark byway. She found her purse
all the money she had In the world
had dropped when she had fallen and
that some one had grabbed it up and
fed with 1t. She knew that the person
must be the one whom she heard
laugh, so without thinking she set
out at full speed in pursuit.
Every now and then she could see
dark form fitting through the trees
before neIt passing nBnLly over inc
ground. At last the figure reached
the bank OF a broad stream and
passed over log which rested on the
bank. Reba in her haste followed
and was soon on queer island COW
cred with high cliffs from which grew
all kinds of thorn bushes. She saw
the figure which she had followed
climb up ladder formed of strong
vines, and, grasping the round, Reba
! went up after the thief but when she
| got to the top she was very much
frightened. For before her she saw a
circle underneath a cluster Of willow
trees, and in the center blazed big
fire. over the fire hung a huge kettle,
from which foated up fumes of hor-
rible smelling broth, and around the
| fire danced thirteen women with
tangled hair falling about their hol-
low, yellow faces. AS they danced
their rags would flap in the breezes
and they would toss their skinny
arms up to the evening moon which
hung low over the trees.
Reba shivered with fear She real
ized that the one who stole her purse
was a witch, and that there before
her was the dance of the witches. She
knew If they saw her they might do
something very terrible, so she hid
under a bush, crawling into the

A Balky Machine

Dear Margery Doom:
What can l do to my sewing ma
chine when it sticks every time l try
to sew on fine material? / have had
it overhauled and still it balks every
little While. De you think that may
be l do not take the proper care of it?
ANNOYED.
If you want your sewing machine
to be good friend to YOU, you must
treat 1t we'll
Every machine should be regularly
and thoroughly cleaned and oiled, and
always use a good machine oil Also
when cleaning don't forget to unscrew
the small plate under the pressure
foot by the needle, and remove any
nun or cotton accumulated there
Now and again Ii Is q good plan TO
give an extra cleaning with petrol;
when this has dried off the machine
should be well oiled in the usual way.
After otling, a piece of rag should
be machined over and over again to
absorb the surplus oil.
1t is we'll worth while to study the
instructions supplied with a machine,
or, better still. to get one of the firm 3
men to show you how to work, oil
and clean 1t, how to change needle
and tension, and the use of all "ex-
tras' supplied. came across someone
the other day, who after possessing
machine for several years. did not
know how to change the tension or
insert new needle.
Much depends on the tension, II
thin or tlimsy material Fuckers under
the needle, you will generally find
that the tension Is too tight, or the
needle blunt or rough-edged; the lat
ter often happens after doing heavy
machining, but you can save your
machine by soaping thick, stiff seams.
Cotton which is very different in
texture should not be used for the
shuttle and needle at the same time

Adventures
in Matrin7Ony
BY Ieonu DaIrymple.


And so-
Outside, beyond the old farmhouse
windows, the rain had abated. The
sky yellowed Then the sun came
gloriously forth upon the rain-sodden
world and touched into eager sparkle
pools of rain and drop-laden grass.

look. | wonder # that glorious sun
is perhaps harbinger of our future

justment."
Il don't know said Mary. hap
PLY. Il hope so, Peter. I'll do my
best!"
And so Will l."
My wife's hand met mine in the
clasp of friendship which Is, after all,
a bigger thing than love. Love is
but part of it.
And then Mary turned to me, her
cheeks like peonies.
Age-Old Dreams.
"Peter," she said, "once, ages ago
1t seemed to me, told you [ wanted
no children in my life IL was re-
belling at the anlmalness of that
part of woman's existence. Oh,
don't suppose you can understand,
for the responsibility is so different.
But | felt then that 1t would fret me
into insanity always to feel that
there was someone helpless hanging
upon me-to go wherever | went
always to be considered first, but
"Yes-"
ITS the little girl next door" said
Mary. "I don't know why, but for
weeks and weeks | can't look at her
without choke in my throat. l want
to tWine my arms around her and
love her-she's such a dear, dear lit
tie kddy. Something always seems
to rise In my heart and then in my
throat and choke"
ITS the age-old maternal instinct,
Mary" I said "It comes to every
woman sooner or later"
"It must be that" said my wife.
For when she runs In away from
play I feel lonely"
"Yes"
"And then I begin to think how
wonderful 1t would be If she were my
little girl"
Mary cried a little.
The Vision Wonderful.
So the dawning something In
Mary's pretty face was the primal in
stinct of maternity ] had always
wanted children. 1t had been the
tragic rock upon which my wife and
/ had almost come to shipwreck more
Now somehow staring out at the
sunit world sparkling over rain
| pools and wet trees, | could not real
| ize the great happiness that suddenly
flooded over my life.
| l looked ahead. ! saw n life peace
full with affection, home, children, all
| the quiet things of domesticity which
| some affect to despise and some,
! wiser, know for the real verities of
existence. And hand In hand my lit
tie wife and 7 would climb the hill
together like John Anderson in the
poem. And we would sleep together
at the foot mourned sincerely by our
children.
1t was a big moment. Unreal in a
way The farm kitchen seemed but
o haze. There was vision in the mo-
ment and happiness. l knew that my
life would never be quite the same
again. 1t had broadened in a flash.
1t would go on broadening. And
saw in Mary's eyes, too the Vision
Wonderful. We said nothing at all.
Words would have spoiled it.
And then I bent and kissed my wife.

A Billy Sunday Hymn

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly publish the words
of the popular Billy Sunday hymn,
brighten the Corner Where You
Are?" STEADY READER.
"BRIGHTEN THE CORNER
WHERE YOU ARE"
Do not wait until some deed OF great
ness you may do,
Do not wait to shed your light afar,
To the many duties ever near you
now be true,
Brighten the corner where you a-s.
Chorus.
Brighten the corner where you arei
Brighten the corner where you arei
Someone far from harbor you may
guide across the bar,
Brighten the corner where you are.
Just above are clouded skies that you
may help to clear,
Let not narrow self your way debar,
Though into one heart alone may
fall your song of cheer,
Brighten the corner where you are
Here for all your talent you may
surely find a need,
Here reflect the bright and morning
star.
Even from your humble hand the
bread of life may feed,
Brighten the corner where you are.
