IN CAMDEN 7. W. G. A.
PAGEANT
PRESBYTERIAN CLERGYMAN
GETS CUSTODY OF DAUGHTERS
Mrs. j. H. Macarthur Had No Rea-
son to Destroy Home, Says Court

The Superior Court has awarded the
Rev James H. Macarthur. pastor of the
Bethesda Presbyterian Church, Frank
ford avenue and Berks streets, custody
of two of his three daughters, and also
the possession of his baby daughter one
day a week. The minister had been con-
testing with his wife for several months
in an effort to obtain the custody of the
children.
Mrs. Macarthur was instructed by the
court to keep the 1S-month-old daughter
Virginia, in Philadelphia, so that Mr..
Macarthur might be able to SEQ her.
Ruth and Esther are tho two daughters
whose custody the minister will have
permanently.
Mr. and Mrs. Macarthur have been
separated for more than a year. The
latter asserted that she had left her hus.
band because of ill-treatment. However,
the court decided that she gave no suffi-
cient reason for breaking up the home
the allegations of cruelty being met by
positive denials by the clergyman.

| their tails and moving their heads in a
| regular succession of measured move
| ments, resulting in n cadence which evil
| IDENTIFY pleased the eye Of the Mahar as
| the cadence of our own instrumental
| music pleases our ears.
Sometimes the band took measured steps
In unison to one side or the other or
J backward and again forward: It all
| seemed very silly and meaningless to
me; but at the end Of the first piece the
Mahars upon the rocks showed the first
| indications of enthusiasm that had seen
| displayed by the dominant race of Pei
| lucidar.
/ They beat their great wings up and
| down, and smote their rocky perches
with their mighty tails until the ground
| shook. Then the band started another
| piece, and all was again as silent as the
| grave,
That was one great beauty about Mahar
music. If you didn't happen to like a
piece that was being played. all you had
to do was TO shut your eyes.
When the band had exhausted It's
repertory It took wing and settled upon
rocks above and behind the queen. Then
the business of the day was on.
A man and woman were pushed into
the arena by couple Of Sagoth guards
men.
1 leaned far forward in my seat to
scrutlnlze the female-hoping against
hope that she might prove to be another
than Dian the Beautiful
Her back was toward me for while,
and the sight Of the great mass Of raven
hair piled high upon her head filled me
with alarm.
Presently door in one side OF the arena
wall was opened 60 admit huge, shaggy,
bull-like creature.
"a bos,' whispered Perry excitedly.
"EIis kind roamed the outer crust with
the cave bear and the mammoth ages
and ages ago. We have been carried
back n million years, David to the child
hood OF planet, Is It not wondrous?'
But | saw only the raven hair of half
naked girl, and my heart stood still in
dumb misery at the sight of her, nor had
I any eyes for the wonders of natural
history
But for Perry and Ghak, should
have leaped to the floor of the arena
and shared whatever fate lay in store
for this beauty OF the Stone Age.
With the advent of the bos-they call
the thing thag within Pellucidar-two
cpears were tossed into the arena at the
feet OF the prisoners 1t seemed to me
that bean-shooter would have been as
effective against the mighty monster as
these pitiful weapons
AS the animal approached the two, bel
lowing and paving the ground with the
of many earthly bulls. another
door directly beneath us was opened, and
from It issued the most terrific roar that
had even fallen upon my outraged ears
I could not at first see the beast from
which emanated this fearsome challenge,
but the sound had the effect of bringing
the two victims round with a sudden
start, and then saw the girls face. She
was not Dian!

quire an early answer Is the tea card,

for the purpose and should be mailed 50
as to arrive on the day OF the tea. II,
however, one has intended going and is
prevented, It Is polite to mail the cards
that evening, SO the hostess will know Of
the good intentions to attend. Whether one
attends tea or not cards should be left
A tray is always provided at the door on
which to place them when entering the
