ENGLISH HELD MANY FEAsTs.

There is. scarcely an old city or yil'
lage in England that formerly did not
have ar annual banquet of some sort,
designed to advertise the particular
products for which the. place is
fanlbus, observes a correspondent.
Chichester had its annual oyster feast,
which was given every October, usu,
ally at the beginning of the month.
But that was comparatively modern
festival. Much more ancient was the
yearly white bait dinner at Greenwich,
which at one time was almost as great
social event as the dinner given by
the lord mayor of London.
The fish pie. dinner at Gorleston,,
near Yarmouth, had as its guests each
year SIS fishermen, with the vicar at
the head of the table. The number at
the table was strictly limited to g.,
except the vicar, and was never more
or less. At Yarmouth, the home of
the far-famed Yarmouth bloatel, the
annual herring dinner was quite an
event. The menu consisted entirely of
herring of all ages from infant sprats
to grandfather herring, prepared in
many different ways. Peterborough's
sausage dinner was given every year
by the mayor and corporation of the
town, and every variety of sausage
known was served to the guests. An
other famous feed" was the venison
dinner given at Farnham by the
Bishop of Winchester. aE< &

PRAYER OF AN HONEST MAN.

Teach me that so minutes make an
hour, 16 ounces one pound and 100
cents one dollar. =. -. .s-,,s Is.
Help me to live so that can lie
down at night with clear conscience,
without a gun under my pillow and
unhaunted by the faces of those. to
whom have brought pain.
Grant, | beseech Thee, that / may
earn my meal ticket on the square,
and in doing thereof that i may not
stick the gait where it does not be-
long. ~.
Deafen me. to the jingle of tainted
money.
Blind me to the faults of the other
fellow, but reveal to me my, own.
Guide me that each night when ]
look across the dinner table at my
wife, who has been a blessing to me-
| may have nothing to, conceal.
Keep me young enough to laugh
with my children and to lose myself
in their play.
And then when comes the smell OF
flowers and the tread of soft steps
and the crunching of the hearse's
wheels in the gravel, out in front OF
my place, make the ceremony >short
and the epitaph simplest: Here Lies
a Man. -'-

LITTLE THINGS.

A cup of water timely brought
! An offered seasy-chair,
A turning of the window blind,
That all may feel the air..
An early flower unasked, bestowed,
A light and. cautious tread,
A voice to softest whispers hustled, :
To spare an aching head.
Oh, things like these, though little
things,
The purest love disclose,
AS fragrant atoms in the air, 3,
Reveal the hidden rose.

INTERESTING LIFE STATISTICS.

yK = < L y E
On the authority of experts ,repre-
senting forty-three leading life insur-
ance companies in the United States,
it appears that a spinster lives longer
than a married woman Business
women live longer than business men.
A woman who takes an endowment
policy lives longer than woman who
takes an ordinary life policy. 1t is
not easy to explain why an unmar-
ried woman survives. a matron,s nor
why "a business woman survives a
business man, but the longevity of
the endowment woman is believed to
be due to the determination to live
until the policy natures Will power
is hardly less important in many cases
than physique, and must always be
reckoned with. Even in disease a
man or woman possesses a. natural
tendency toward health, and cures
which often are attributed to medi-
cine are really the assertion of will
power. $50 as

TREATMENT OF EMPLOYEES.

!. i
Frank Vanderlip tells in the Amer
ican, Magazine the things he considers
necessary in the making of faithful
employee. AS president of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York he en-
ploys many men and women. He
says: SIS 49,.
eff you will let me speak imper,
sonally, / would say, first, Pay
enough Unless men and women are
paid enough to live on with reason
able comfort they cannot give the
best that is in them or. enjoy their
work as they ought. Without this
foundation of good pay, you cannot,
by any amount of welfare or other
benevolently intended activities, build
a satisfactory structure. i
Then give employees all the re-
sponsibility they will take. Get#them
to feel that they are as real part of
the organization as the president or
any other officer and that they, in
their own sphere, carry their share OF
the responsibility for the organiza
tion's policy and its reputation.
''Of course, every member of g force
has to be treated fairly and must BIT
made to realize that he or she can
depend always and under all circum
stances upon receiving this fair treat
ment.
Employees should be given the
fullest credit for anything meritorious
they do. 1t is a mistake for the officers
of any concern to withhold from any
one lower down deserved credit fol-
good ideas or suggestions or finitia
tives."

The Yale University Press is publishing
Georges Guynemcr: Knight Of the Ar,
by Henry Bordeaux, translated by Louise
Morgan Sill and prefaeed by a letter OF
Theodore Roosevelt to NJ. Bordeaux in
which Col. Roosevelt says: 81 count the
American people fortunate in reading any
book of yours; | count them fortunate in
reading any biography of that great hero
OF the air, Guynemer, and thrice over /
count them fortunate to have such book
written by you on such subject Bor
deaux divides his book into four "cantos"
of from three to six chapters and quotes
from the aces letters. 1t appears that
from the eleventh century the name of
Guynemer has appeared in French annals
and that it is even associated with the
romance of the Crusades. \ genealogy is
appended to the book.

"My Lorraine Journal"

EDITH OSHAUGHNESSY is the
L. wife of Nelson O'Shaughnessy, who
handled our affairs during the recent
Mexican crisis, and the author of two ex-
trenely well received books, A Diplomats
Wife IN Herico, and Diplomatic Days
My Lorraine Journal covers her expe-
riences from June, 1917, TO January, 1918,
in which time she paid frequent visits to
that part of France which is now the
American front.
Some people have genius for writing
journals, and Mrs. O'Shaughnessy is one
of them. The. simplest record of events
would become readable in her hands and
when she has things to write about in
which we are vitality interested the result
is naturally admirable. 1t does not take
more than few minutes for us to become
enamored of this authors style. There
is nothing startlingly new either in the
things she has done or in the way they
have affected her, but she endows them
with charm so piquant and pathos SO
real that they appear new and engrossing.
Journals of this sort can only be writ
ten by people with tremendous amount
of personal charm, the same people who
fascinate every ore with whom they come
in contact. That they are generous enough
TO give us bit of their personality in this
intimate form of writing is our good for
tune. Maude Radford Warren and Louise
Closer Hale are other examples of how
ifest itself along these same unpretentious
lines. Almost any one would rather read
Louise Closer Hale's description Of trip
than TO take the trip personally, unless it
could be with her.
Authors are beginning to take it for
granted that we are all learning to speak
French, as indeed we should be. Those
who would have essayed no more than an
occasional French phrase before the war
now come out quite heartlessly with story
after story depending upon a reading
knowledge of French for their whole
point. If this is already apparent in our
literature, how much more serious will it
be when our men come home. 1t is ad-
visable to have your dictionary at hand
when you begin reading Ny Lorraine
Journal.
The letters from soldiers and all the
books assure us that the children are the
most pitifuI victims of the war. That
the scenes of horror have not accustomed
Mrs. O'Shaughnessy to their grief is evil
denced by this, on seeing tiny pale child:
"a black robed woman was sobbing be-
fore grave and pitying statue of Ste.
Anne and a tiny pale child with fright
ened look was standing by her. Again l
thought Of the oceans Of fear children
have passed through IN this war, and

"Girls' Clubs"

II OR years the girls clubs of the coun-
= try have been increasing in popu-
laIity and importance, but since America
has been at war they have taken place
in the welfare of the youth of the country
the present time there exists a chain of
girls clubs about the training camps in
the country in which happiness and
healthy pleasure are made possible for
hundreds of thousands of our soldiers.
Jane Deter Reppin of the Commission on
Training Camp Activities, in her intro
ducticn to Girls Clubs: Their Orqdnizd-
lion and Management, by Helen J. Fer
lis, says: "Never before has the coun-
try so needed TO realize to what degree
the young women of the nation are mobil-
lied and are capable of mobilization,
physically, mentally and morally, for the
second line Of defence"
Miss Ferris's book is a manual for
workers, and includes the establishment of
clubs, selection and training of club lead
ers, organization and enlarging of men,
bership, choice of activities and an out
line of war time needs. Plans for the full
filment of such ticklish duties as removing
members who have ceased to be welcome
and are unwilling to leave are laid forth,
and there are really helpful discussions of
many other annoying complications in the
life. of club workers, which make the book
one that should prove of great value.
