anxious to see life, leaves her home
and mother and joins her father, who
had been divorced by he wife and
married again. The girl has an in
heritance of her own and does not

why her father and his spendthrift
wife are so anxious to entertain her.
When Cousin Nancy arrives on the
scene. things are in pretty bad shape
and the girls money is going rapidly.
Nancy. however. is equal to the occa-
sion and things begin to happen.
There are several strong dramatic
climaxes and humorous situations and
the story holds the interest from start
to finish.
Miss Carlisle. accomplished and
charming actress that she is, has in
vested the role of Nancy Price with
all the attractive sweetness and reso-
lutte hopefulness that characterizes the

All is peace in New York's toughest
district since the war; A year or so
ago any person who wandered through
the Seas House" district, on First ave-
nue. from Seventeenth to Twenty-sec-
ond street, at night usually came away
minus his watch and roll and with a
battered countenance. Many were the
actual and alleged breaches of the
peace laid to the young manhood of
this section Of the city. 1t ran the
gamut of everything from riot to mur-
der. Today all this is changed. Since
the "Gas House" gang has donned the
khaki there is an air of refinement and
culture in the district. Men neigh
bors meet on friendly terms and
clothes-line fights and feuds between
the women are only memories. Gone
is the old order of things material.
Fights have given way to celebrations
in honor of the lads from the district
now fighting in France. There are

FLASH LIGHTS IN UNISON
Fireflies Seem to Have an Understand.
ing as to When to Begin
an Illumination.

Various observers testify to the fact
that myriads of glow worms very oc-
casionally indulge in synchronous fash
ing with very beautiful effect. 1t Is
thought by some that this phenom-
enon is accidental, although in this
light some cases would seem incred-
ible.
John V. Purcell of Washington,
D. c., records that in the town of Co.
tabato, island of Mindanao, P. T., few
years ago there were two trees about
the size of apple trees and perhaps a
hundred yards apart, and every eve-
ming these were filed with firef1ies
which flashed in unison, first one tree
lighting up and then the other. There
must have been several thousand in
sects In each tree, yet the synchronism
was so perfect that rarely or never
did a single freely flash at the wrong
time.
"To the best of my recollection the
illumination period lasted about two
or three seconds and the dark periods
perhaps twice that long. I can posi-
lively vouch for the accuracy of the
foregoing, for it seemed so strange and
produced so beautiful an effect that
thought 1t one of the most remarkable
things in the Philippines, and it made
deep impression on me-"
