Crackers dodgin' between. That's Sand
Spur
ooh, little more than that, breaks in
Warrie. "You forget the roses and the
yellow jasmine climbing over the shacks,
the Spanish moss festooning the oaks, the
mocking-birds singing from every tree
top. the black cypress behind the pines,
and out front the jade-green Gulf where
the sun goes down so glorious. You for
get the brilliant mornings and the Won
derful soft moonlight nights"
WELL, that's the way them two went
on, like a couple of kids talkin' over
summer vacation. l gathered that
Warrie had simply quit the sanatorium
where he'd been played for good thing,
and settled down in Sand Spur with the
Toziers; gettin' fat on the weird dishes
Valentino could cook and havin' the
time of his life. Seems as if he'd made
friends with the whole population, for he
had to ask about all of 'em by their front
names.
Listenin' to 'em was sort of interestin'
to me, but Miss Prentice don't conceal
the fact that she's bored stiff. Mean
while we was wadin' through frst-class
feed. And about nine o'clock Valentino
announces that she'll have to be gettin'
back to the schooner or pop'll be worried.
Warrie says he'll send her down in a cab,
and asks me if I'll 60 along to see that she
gets there safe, which l says will. She
was bein' helped into the ulster when
Warrie remembers some one else in Sand
Spur.
"Oh, by the way says he; 4what
about Elmer?"
Valentino laughs easy.
@Oh, he's the same Elmer says
she. aHe's still foreman out at the
swamp"
"Comes over every Sunday night as
usual, eh?" asks Warrie.

SUNDAY MAGAZINE for February 10, 1916

She mods. wednesdays now, too"
says she.
"Then,' says Warrie, ~you and Elmer
are to-er-"
aAh reckon says Valentino. aSome-
time this spring.
aWell, well!' says Warrie. Then, as
kind Of an afterthought, he holds out his
hand. "My best wishes for you both,'
says he.
@Thanks," says Valentino, and gives
him about half smile. Next she glances
towards Gladys. @Say," she goes on, dis
is she the one?"
EYES," says Warrie.
Same to you, says Valentino. 3Good-
by"
They shook hands once more-sort Of
long, lingerin' shake, with their eyes
steady to each other; and then-well, then
l steers Valentino out past the GRIMM
cloak-room boys and slows her in the
taxi. She didn't have much to say on
the way down. Nor /. And, take it from
down to Pier 9, East River.
FIRST thing next mornin', Mr.. Rob-
ert wants 10 KNOW now Jne reunion
passed off, and he listens bug-eyed as l
describes the way we rung in on the
dinner-party with Gladys.
"The deuce you did!' says he. @Just
like Warrie to do that, though. But, if
know Miss Prentice at all, she will pay
him back for that little prank.
aNow you've said something!" says I.
aAnd Valentino, he adds refectively,
lis on her way back to Sand Spur, is she?"
II expect that's where she belongs"
says 1; @and yet"
SWELL, yet WHAT" demands Mr.. Rob-
ert, sort of quizzin'.
II was only thinkin',' says l, 4that if
the cards could have been shuffled differ
ent, with Gladys startin' in Sand Spur
and Valentino on the Ave-
nue., Warrie might not have
so many yawns comm to him
across the dinner-table. But
then, maybe Elmer of the
Swamp deserves some lucky
breaks. Who knows?"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-02-13

Honest, in all I'd seen of him at the
Corrugated, I'd never known Warre
Mason to act so much like live one.
There was no stopping him. Before
could register any more protests, he'd
hauled Valentino out of the cab, taken
her by the arm, and was steerin her slam
into the middle of the Tarleton's Looie
Cans dinin' room. The naughty head
waiter let's out one gasp and steadies him
self against marble pillar. AS for Miss
Prentice, she takes one look at what
Warrie is town in, and goes pink in the
ears. Then she stiffens, from the jaws
down.
But Warrie don't seem to be wise to
the fact that he's pullin' anything odd.
He acts just as natural as if he'd picked
up one of the younger set.
"Gladys," says he, "this is Valentino
Tozier, that I've told you so much about
Valentino, l want you to know Miss
Prentice"
"Ah!" says Gladys, bit choky and
archin' her eyebrows sarcastic. "I--I re-
call the name
You'd most thought Valentino would
have been fused to flinders about then;
but beyond actin little dazed, she
don't show it. She lets couple of French
walters peel off the faded ulster and the
gray sweater, and, believe me, when the
whole of that polka-dot costume is re-
vealed she's some conspicuous. For a
second it looked like Gladys was goin' to
freeze with horror; but, after givin' Val
entina the once-over, she just lifts her
shoulders a trifie and INDUCES in a pan
icky little giggle.
OF the two of 'em, will say that VAL
entina takes it easier, for that dinner
dress of Miss Prentice's must have Jared
her some. But Valentino only stares for
a minute, and then manages to work up
one of them friendly smiles.
Warrie don't get any of this by-play at
all. Soon as he's through shootin orders
to the waiter, he turns to Valentino.
well, well!' says he enthusiastic. "This
is treat. Did you come up by train OF
steamer"
Schooner, says Valentino. "You
know all that cypress you saw EN- yankin'
out of the swamp back of the Point? Well,
sub, it's lumber now, every stick. Sold,
too. That's what me and pop came up
for" ..
"You don't say!' says Warrie. 4How
much?" ... e.
"Near nine thousand says she. -
"Whe-e-e-ew!' says Warrie. "Now I
suppose you'll be moving into Tampa
NO. says Valentino, "we're fixin' to
buy another swamp
Then they both laughed, like it was
Soma huua inka
"But how is every one?' goes on War
rie. "Uncle Jake still going out after
stone-crabs?s
Every mornin', says Valentino. "And
they're runnin' fine this winter, too.
He put near bushel on the schooner be-
fore we sailed. We had 'em all the way
up"
"M-m-m-m!" says Warrie, smackin his
lips. Remember the ones we roasted
that day.
"'Deed l do" says she. "You didn't
want to try 'em at first"
Wasn't l all kinds of chump, thought"
says he. "And that first chicken pillau

"West coast, says Valentino.
"Of course" says Mr.. Robert. @He
talked lot about it. Seemed to have
grown rather fond of the people there"
ave all thought heap of Warrie,"
says Miss Tozier, lettin' loose that mes
merizin' smile of hers
Mr.. Robert gets the full force of it, for
he'd been lookin' her over sort of curious;
and blamed if he don't fall for it most as
hard as me and Vincent.
"By Georgel' says he. am sure War
rie would feel badly if he missed seeing
any one from Sand Spur. You must let
me know where you're stopping. I'll send
him word"
"Wouldn't do bit of good in the
world" says Valentino, @for Ahm not
stopping anywhere. You see, All come
up with pop on lumber-schooner, and
We'll be headed out past Sandy Hook by
sunrise",
"Can't we locate Warrie tonight some
way?" asks.
MIR. Robert shrugs his shoulders.
3We can, says he. Il happen to know
where he is at this moment" Then he
whispers, "Dining at the Tarleton; Miss
Prentice is with him."
"Gee!" says l.
Maybe you've seen pictures of this
young society queen that's annexed War

long breath before askin', aWould you
take chance?"
"Eh?" says Mr.. Robert.
Then, as the idea strikes in, he devel-
ops that eye twinkle.
"Why," he goes on, II see no serious
objection. Surely she might spare him
for five minutes. Yes, of course. You
may have my taxi if you'll drop me at the
club first. Let's do it.

ONE? SURE
ALL CITY ECHOES
Harrisburg Yawns Prodigious-
ly and Gets Back on Job After
2-Day Holiday

Yawning prodigiously after its two
day holiday loaf, Harrisburg arose
more or less late this morning and
the post-Christmas season.
Weather, Christmas savings funds
and train service that managed to get
back into something like it's old time
schedule just in time to avoid too
serious jolting of Christmas programs
combined to arrange a birthday cele-
bration such as Harrisburg has rarely
enjoyed.
The whole city had a whole day to
prepare itself for the big day and
Sunday accordingly was marked with
special Christmas services in all the
churches. Round about midnight or
l o'clock yesterday morning the Choir
listers got busy and Christmas carols
resounded from various street corners
and church towers.
Weather that couldn't have been
nicer for winter holiday brought out
lot of people during the morning
and gift-laden crowds filled cars and
automobiles and sidewalks. In the aft
ernoon the theaters and movies did
a big business although most every
body loafed round the house and tried
out the new Shippers ana mousse jacket
and waited for the sizzling turkey.
Officially speaking, Harrisburg cele-
brated the advent of Christmas with
its biggest municipal tree celebration
Sunday evening. Before a crowd Of
home-going church folks that jammed
the entire space from Front street in
Market, almost to River street, the
giant tree was officially and electrically
lighted with impressive exercises. The
tree was made possible this year
through the activities of the Rotary
Club, assisted by the Harrisburg Light
and Power Company and Frank b.
Musser. of the Harrisburg Railways
Company, who provided the big ever
green. The electric company pro-
vided the labor for erecting the tree
at cost, loaned the many colored bulbs
and provided the current free. Music
by the Municipal Band and the black
and white vested choir of the Moor
head Knitting Company furnished such
music as Harrisburg has not heard
in q long, long time.
All in all, Mr., and Mrs. Harrisburg
and all the little Harrisburgers had
ample cause to sit back last evening
and sigh blissfully and just a wee bit
regretfully.

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Most of us spend our lives in pur-
suit of happiness. But she is COM
pletely elusive, and when we think
we have gained her. we always find
that she lies somewhere beyond.
We all want superlative happi-
ness and happiness is only COM
parative. We are happy as we give
joy to others, fulfill our daily tasks,
and work toward goal of achieve
ment.
Real happiness lies in amount
ing TO something" in this world.
And amounting to something means
doing our honest best with our own
possibilities and helping other peo-
pie realize theirs.
An old-time philosopher has sug-
gested four steps to happiness. Here
they are: Accept Your Limitations.
Seize Your Opportunity. Enjoy the
Good of the Hour. Improve the Bad,
and if You Can't Let 1t Drop.
Let us examine these suggestions.
"Accept Your Limitations means
be sane and logical about your pos
sibilities. Don't eXaggerate your
talents and insist on flying when ii
is hard for you to do anything more
than walk. In other words. take
stock of yourself and make the best
of what you are and have it in you
TO be. But don't refuse to sing we'll
