FINDS HER PLAN WORKS WELL
Lucinda Has Saved Money Since Aban.
doning Her System of Buying
Things On Impulse.

"There are so many things I want to
buy" said Lucinda, "and I am so i'm
pulsive. I see something that pleases
my fancy and straightway I buy it
only to find a little later that really
didn't want it and that now I don't
care for it at all.
"At least that is the way I did do
but now I do differently. Now when
see something that once I would have
bought on sight I say to myself: DO
I really want that?' and then I say to
myself. 4 will wait a week and see.'
"At first it was very hard for me to
do this; but then 1 got myself under
control and anne to manage very well,
soften on the second or third day,
when I have seen that thing still on
sale, I have found that I no longer fan.
cied it and then, of course, I was glad
I hadn't bought it; but then sometimes
when I found the thing gone, why, then
naturally / imagined I did want it but
on the whole I find this plan to work
beautifully and now I stick to it faith
fully, and certainly it has saved me
from buying a whole lot of things ]
didn't want; things such as I used to
buy, that Brother Claude, in his
brusque way, called junk"

Precious CABBAGE.

We have been reading some gems
of wisdom concerning cabbage by the
garden editor. He says:
mo vegetable is easier to keep than
cabbage, and it should be kept to as
great an extent as possible"
We agree with him there. But he
goes on to say: 1.-THE heads of cab
bage may be kept in banks in the
same manner as potatoes or beets."
We knew the banks were accepting
potatoes for deposit, but We did not
think they had room for cabbageS.
However, let US hurry on to the next
statement, the one that really puzzles
me. Says the editor: 1.-The heads may
also be stored in cellars by placing
them on shelves. 1t is not advisable
to store cabbages in the basement or
the storage o in the cellar. as the
odor is liable to penetrate throughout
the house." That seems to knock the
idea of keeping them in the cellar at
all. Well have to deposit 'em in the
bank after all. What interest is be-
ing paid on cabbages now?-Cleveland
Plain Dealer.

message? Couldn't the dragnet of
memory fad me? Were you saying:
"Hang it all, who was Kitty Manson,
anyway"
Hayward flung hack his head and
laughed. 1--WE never forget" he said.
Not a man of the big army of the re-
jected. You have witch ways of re-
turning to US. That" with a gesture
toward the open window, through
which the girls voice still singing the
old, familiar words came. "is one of

Kitty dimpled distractedly. Time in
its long running off of three years had
succeeded in doing what Howard had
persuaded himself that he had done
it had forgotten Kitty Manson.

laughed, "the most emotional things
it finds is the young girl. That child
couldn't be persuaded out Of her mel
ancholy. If I should go over there
and tell her that the biggest fires burn
down to ashes she wouldn't believe
me. There's nothing one can do for
them. They've got to learn by living"
Lord, yes" said Hayward, without
a trace of bitterness in his voice,
that's the only school. Young things
will concentrate or a supreme passion.
They don't know the solid comfort in
a scheme of life that is all things TO
all men-especially TO all women"
Except one. Nell doesn't c,me into
that scheme, of course"
"Nell?" inquiringly.
Naturally, l spoke Of Nell Grifis

her voice.
Hayward laughed good nataredly.
"But why? 1 never philosophical for
her benefit. 1 always thought her a
doll with a sawdust heart-hhgging
your pardon"
"My pardon" Kitty stared 81 him
in amazed indignation. For tfts first
time her glance went down the room
that showed no trace of a wcman's
presence.
"Where Is she?" she asked.
who? Oh, Mrs. Hayward. AT q
of her eternal card parties, probably"
Kitty's eyes had sobered. Again
they swept the long, Susty, tobacco
scented room that showed no wehan's
touch anywhere. And it had come to
this!
She thought of the foolish little
quarrel that had separated her from

Hayward looked down at the open
telegram in his hand. The girls voice
singing Kitty's little song drifted into
the rooms stiffness. The girl had but
recently moved into the house next
door. She sang often, but tonight it
was that old, foolish, forgotten song
of Kitty's.
Hayward stirred under it, restlessly.
If the telegram had reached him
earlier he would not have had solitude
and the song forced upon him. Now,
under its influence, his heart went out
over far seas and through distant
lands in search of Kitty. Wonderful
things-old songs! Stronger than
newly-evoked philosophers of life that
exclude old loves.
A rustling and fleeing through the
hallway, a frou-frou that distinctly be-
spoke femininity, and Hayward looked
up to see Kitty hated and gowned in
charming travelling attire hesitating on
his doorstep.
He stared at her bewilderingly. It
was no wrath evoked from a past
April night by the power of a song
sung by an unknown girl-it was the
glowing, laughing, sumptuous Kitty
herself.
"The hackman was so uncertain"
she said, with a soft, breathless catch
in her voice that he remembered. "He
insisted that he was wrong after he
got me here, and he wanted to take
me to another Mr.. Heyward's. Did
my wire surprise you? When l found

Russian Music Appeals to
the Masses at Wildwood
On Monday Evening of Last Week the Wildwood
Musicians at the Casino Auditorium Played a Piece
by a Russian Composer. 1t was a Popular
Night, Says Charley Bosch in his Weekly
Review of the Wildwood Music


OF the liberty songs, please, that the
audience may feel they have a part in
it. Miss Barrett's Jewel song was
scintillating and a musical delight.
She wore a dress well in keeping with
the song, and altogether made a pro-
nounced success. 1 spoke of her work
last week, and hence there is not much
to add except to speak enthusiastically
of her appearance. Her second effort
of the evening was a diversified group,
with some patriotic music. Whelp-
ley's Nightingale has a Tyre of Gold"
was singularly we'll done, and Liza
Lehmsn's "Good Morning, Brother
Sunshine" was as CHEEKY a thing as
one could desire.
For next Sunday evening, August IL,
1918, Mr.. and Mrs. Piersol come to US
once again with a fine program, ard
there will be more liberty songs. 1
would urge the audience, however, to
learn well the second verse of the S,ar
Spangled Banner. 1t speaks i'll of us
as true Americans that we don't know
the words letter. L regret to learn
that the concerts at Cape May have
been called off for the season, and this
leaves Wild wood to sustain alone the
reputation of South jersey as patrons
Of high grade music. Let's crowd the
auditorium on Sunday evening and
visit 1t as often as possible at other
times, and thus encourage the B ard
Of Trade, the Casino pier people and
the Commissioners in their efforts to
give US the best music on the Atlantic
coast. CHARLES w. BOSCH.

Constantinople was the capital Of
the Roman eastern empire from $50
A. D. to 1543 A. D., when it came into
possession of the Turks, who have.
held it ever since. In 439 A. D. the
city had attained its extreme limits,
and was surrounded by walls which
wholly inclosed it. These walls and
the buildings they defended have been
sadly shaken at times by the forces
of nature and by besieging armies. Ro-
mans, Christian crusaders and Turks
have assailed the city, earthquakes
have destroyed some of its most pre-
tentious buildings, internal discussions
have occurred within its walls, which.
nave caused the deaths of thousands.

CURTIS BI-PLANE In DISTRESS
LANDS In NORTH WILDWOOD

Last Saturday evening, about half
past six O'Clock, an airplane was seen
maneuvering over the beach front of
North Wildwood in an effort to land,
which it finally did at Fourteenth and
Surf avenues. From that point the
flying machine was guided down Surf
avenue to oath street, in front of the
Wildwood Manor hotel. The air craft
was in charge of Lieutenant E. A.
Kruss and Captain F. Steinle, both
from the Washington aviation station.
These ~aviators were making a trial
flight from the national capital to At
lantic City; and were up 1000 feet over
the ocean, not far from the Five Mile
Bach, when a leak in the gasoline
supply pipe developed serious engine
trouble, and great haste was made to
get to earth. A landing was success
fully accomplished, as described above.
The crew obtained quarters at the Man
or for the night, while two North Wild
wood policemen did guard duty all
night in protection of the disabled sky
lark. The use Of this term will be con-
sidered appropriate when it is made
known that this plane is nov used for
scout duty and cou the skies like a
skylark. This Curtis bi-plane, num-
Der 4l905, was originally designed for
Photographic work. Its weight is a.
bout 1900 pounds. Eight cylinders de-
velop a force equal to $50 horsepower
aud drive the propeller at the rate Of
1900 revolutions per minute. "That's
going some, isn't it No wonder the
maximum speed is 80 miles ar hour;
or that an average of about rs miles an
hour can be maintained on a sustain
ed flight. This plane could fly from
here to Brest, France in49 days. That's
where most of the aircraft steer for on
the trip "over there" 1t takes a trans
port nineteen days to get there because
of the Zig-zag caution necessary on &C.
count of the enemy submarines. The
approximate cost of this scout bi-plane
was $500. Two expert mechanics
were summoned from the Coastal Air
Station on Sunday afternoon and work
ed on the disabled engine of the air
plane up to Monday afternoon about
three o'clock, when the machine fin
ally got away, flying in the direction
of Cape May. 1t is probable a landing
was made there to make further re-
pairs, as the engine was not sparkling
satisfactorily when it departed from
Wildwood. Little riffs of smoke could
be seen escaping from the engine, as
the plane sailed away toward Section
Base. We have been told that the
newer types of airplaues weigh as
much as 5000 pounds, driven by three
hundred horsepower Liberty motors.
"See those clouds up there? said Cap
tain Steinle." "Well, they're about
5000 feet high. Lieutenant Kruss and
| were way above those-at least 1000
feet up when our gasoline supply pipe
began leaking"
To get down from that giddy height
under such circumstances speaks vol
umes for the experience and cool head
edness of these two fearless, daring avi-
ators. Hundreds upon hundreds of
people were attracted to the spot where
the Curtis bi-plane rested during its
two days stay in North Wildwood.
