Alice swan on, feeling quite proud
and clipper like. and as she came
near a group of ducks. among. whom
was her sister. Lulu. 1t entered into
the mind of Alice to Sshow or" as
the boys say.
She padded around, and then she
stuck her head down under water.
as all ducks do, to get some sweet
weeds off the bottom. Deep down
under water Alice thrust her head
and the curls on her neck. She
managed to get a bill full Of water
cress, but when she wanted to raise
her head again she could not. Her
curIs had become tangled in some
thing under the water and her head
was held there.
"oh. help! helpr Quacked Alice:
but her bill. being under water, only
made a bubbly sound.
Then she stuck her tail up in the
air and waved that, and she Tapped
her feet, and then the other ducks
saw that something was the matter.
They all tried to get Alice loose,
but the curled hair on her neck held
her fast. and something dreadful
might have happened il Uncle Wig
gily had not come along just then.
The rabbit gentleman quickly
waded out into the pond. and, by
poking under water with his red,
white and blue striped rheumatism
crutch, he managed to get the head
of Alice loose from where the curls
held it fast in the mud.
Dear me, Alice! I wouldn't wear
such long curls II 1 were you." said
Uncle wiggily, as he waded to shore
with her.
I'm never going to wear any
more curls at ALL" quacked the duck
girl.

Doris dropped in at Twin oaks

Doris dropped In at Twin Oaks one
afternoon to thank Margaret for
some concert tickets. but Mrs. Du-
rand was not at home. Jane inform

den. II Mrs. Darlington wished TO
see her.
AZ she walked between the care
fully tended rose bushes that skirt
ed the gravelled walk. she bent to
inhale the fragrance Of an exquisite
Marechal Neil, and the act recalled
the autumn day when she had sat
In the summer house and overheard
Margaret and Mrs. Stevenson dis
cussing her. She remembered Ale
thea Stevenson's patronizing drawl
and the graceful way she had pluck
ed the yellow rose and drawn 1t
across her lips: she recalled the
bitter lesson she had learned that
afternoon and she smiled q little,
thinking how much she had cared
in those days what Stewart and his
family thought Of her.
A muffled sob from the summer
house caught her ears. She hesu-
tated and half turned to retrace
her steps, but the memory Of her
own bitter hour without comfort in
that very latticed retreat drew her
on.
Marcia lay full length on the
bench just inside the door and her
shoulders shook with her weeping.
Doris laid her hand on the girls
shaking shoulders.

What is his excuse?"

Beatrice Maude, at n,
Achieves Her Ambition @,
To Play with Hampden

Two years ago absolutely ur,heard
Of; today leading woman for our
greatest poetic actor. Walter Hamp-
den.
. That is the astonishing record Of
Beatrice Maude, the young actress
whom Mr.. Hampden will present
here as the ophelia to his. Hamlet
and the Juliet to his Romeo. Miss
Maude is as yet under q, so can
not vote. But she AYERS that as
she has had the good fortune to
achieve one of her great ambitions,
to be Mr.. Hampden's leading wom-
an. she is sure 1t will be only
matter of time before she can vote
for President.
Mr.. Hampden Is responsible for
giving Miss Maude her great oppor-
tunity, but he Is not her actual
''discOverer." This credit belongs
to Stuart walker. whose produc-
tions of such successes as Seven
teen" and the Lord Dunsany plays
have brought him so much deserved
prominence.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND

lovely hair. while the most popular
count their curls as their chief
beauty? In fact, many are leading
ladies just because of their attract

discloses the fact that they bring out
all the natural beauty of their hair
by careful shampOOing, not with
any soap or makeshift. but with a
simple mixture by putting tea

UNCLE WICGILY AND
PROUD ALICE.

One day Alice Wibblewobble, the
duck girl, was going to the hollow
stump school. when she met Tessie
Bow Wow. the little puppy sister
of Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow, the
doggie boys.
"Oh. hello. Tessie" quacked Alice.
Hello. Alice" barked the puppy
girl.
Then the two friends walked
along together. and Alice, looking
at the fuzzy hair around Tessie's
ears. said:
oh. what lovely curIs you have. I"
DO you like them?" asked Tes-
sic. sort OF unconscious like.
They're a terrible bother when
you're in a hurry, to go to school"
oh, 1 wouldn't think So" spoke
Alice as they both skipped along.
I wish had curly feathers"
quacked the duck girl.
Why, you have some lovely
curly feathers in your tall barked
Tessie.
But you haven't any ears. Alice,
my dear-at least none that show, {"
said the puppy girl with a laugh.
II know that" agreed the duck
girl. But. all the same. l wish I
had some curls. Being a duck, with
straight feathers, isn't any fun at
all"
And when school was out, in
stead of waddling along to play
with the other animal boys and
girls, Alice strolIed off by herself,
over the fields and through the
woods.
Perhaps L may find some dan
delion curls. or maybe some car
penter shavings that I could fasten
on my head around the place where
my ears ought to be-" thought
Alice.
On and on went the duck girl and
then. all of sudden, she found an
old bed mattress that Mother Goose
had tossed out of Mother Hubbard's
cupboard. The mattress was stuffed
with curled hair. and as soon as
Alice saw it she quacked:
'Oh. that will be the very thing
for my curls! I'll fasten some of
the crinkly hair around my neck,
and oil the giIls will think / have
real curls!"
After Alice had fastened her ar
titicial curls she thought she would
like to see how they looked on her
'I'll go to the duck pond ocean
and take a swim" thought Alice.
The water would be like a looking
glass and l can see how my curls
daHCle."
In a little while Alice reached the
duck pond ocean. which was near
her Cwn house. where Uncle Wiggily.
the bunny rabbit gentleman, and
Nurse Jane were staying on a visit
Alice plopped into the water and
began swimming about. At first
none of the other geese or ducks
noticed her, but finally Grandfather
Goosey Gander said:
What's the matter with your
neck, Alice? Have you boil on 1t ?"

Alice. Those are my new curls."

Amateur Farming
Formed the Basis
For Sennett's Classic

The idea that led to the produce
tion of Mack Sennett's fve-reel mas
terpiece. Down on the Farm" which
begins a weeks run at Loew's Pal
ace next Sunday, arose from a real
ity of life on the Mack Sennett farm
which occupies a part of his large
acreage of studio and Tot" in Los
Angeles. Some of his stars, notably
Louise Fazenda, Marie Provost,
Charlie Murray, Jimmy Finlayson
and Ben Turpin, were trying their
hands on the difficult job of reduc-
ing the high cost of living. They
pre-empted spaces on the farm
wherein to grow fresh vegetables
that would have the goodness to
look like their pictures on the out
side of seed packages. All except
Louise Fazenda retired from their
agricultural pursuits firm in the
that farming wasn't as
easy as it looked.

Eat the Egg Crate -

All food need not be "digestible."
In fact, a certain amount of indi-
gestible food is necessary for health.
Digestibility in a general way means
capable of being absorbed into the
blood. Food well masticated, acted
upon by the digestive juices and re-
diced to liquid, still contains GER
tain elements that must be passed
on to the large intestine as waste.
II the food eaten contains too little
waste" it is likely to produce con-
stipation by reducing the bulk Of
intestinal material. The chief ele-
ment which produces the movement
In the bowels is cellulose. This is
present in all vegetables and re-
sembles an egg crate" 1t is the
thin cell-like walls which hold to-
gether the digestible element in
food. That is why in constipation
increased amounts OF vegetables and
fruit are ordered in the diet.
Animal foods, meat, eggs, milk.
etc. contain very little indigestible
material, hence they are likely to
cause constipation.
A lazy bowel needs the actual
mechanical stimulation which bulk
alone can give; so eat the egg
crate" In the form of greens. spin
ach. lettuce. celery. cucumbers, raw
tomatoes-all the salads, in fact.
In the form of fruits. prunes, raj
sins. dates. figs. apples. peaches,
grapes and bananas. Not neglect
ing the gooc old d-fashioned potato.
In the effort to bring about proper
action of the bowels without the
use Of drugs we can not leave the
whole task to the food, for nature
intended us 70 take proper exercise
in order to be normal human animals
as well as to eat the proper foods.
So walk after breakfast, a few
setting-up exercises-but. please, no
pills.

What S in a aName?
By Mildred Marshall.
BERNICE.

Bernice Is an auspicious name. II
means bringing victory" and is
one of the many names derived
from the Greek mike" signifying
victory. Nike was the goddess of
victory and named the images which
adorned the prows of the warships
of Greece. The famous Winged
Victory is the largest of the Mixes.
Feminine names ending in nike"
were very popular with the Greeks.
Berenike was used in early times
in Macedonia and was sometimes
spelt Pherenike. The princesses Of
the two Greek Kingdoms of Syria
and Egypt favored Berenike and
there are innumerable instances of
Its use by them in early Greek hi
tory.
1t was~from these royal patrons
that Bernice came to be adopted
by the family of Herod. The name
occurs frequently in the history of
Christianity and it was borne by
that Bernice who heard the defense
of st. Paul.
France liked the name, though it
seems to lack all trace of French
influence. The peasants of Nor
mandy created Bcrenice and be-
slowed it upon their daughters. The
French FerOnique and the English
Veronica are said to be corrupt
forms of the name. but much doubt
Is cast upon such a contention.
The moonstone is the gem of
Berenice. 1t is said to protect her
from all danger and to bring her
true love. 1t is believed that one
can note the waxing and waning
of the ,moon in it's depths and that
lovers can read the future therein.
Monday is her lucky day and her
lucky number. (COpyright 1901

At informal afternoon affairs this
summer, and even at some formal
gatherings, Georgette and tinsel
frocks are likely to be supplanted
by such materials as batiste and
French wolfe.
Here sketched is a frock of sim
pie lines. with round neck. three
quarter length bell sleeves. and an
irregular tunic. 1t is made of en-
broidered batiste, and trimmed with

Governor Townsend
Commended for Signing
Revised School Bill

In view Of all the circumstances
involved, the people Of Delaware
will commend Governor Townsend
for having signed the bill amend
ing the school code.
His action was in line with the
formal request of the State Board
of Education which, while not in
sympathy with several of the
amendments, decided to accept
them rather than to jeopardize
much more important features OF
the bill.
If the governor had vetoed the
bill it would have cut off $4,000
from the States educational sys-
TEN and left it practically without
funds for proper expansion.
It also is felt that, in view of the
favorable public reception of the
suggestion that the State bond
itself for $1O,OOO,OOO for the bene,
fit of education, such a course will
be pursued by the Legislature next
year and that, therefore, the fangs
will be drawn from the referendum
feature Of the amendments, be-
cause there will be little occasion
for resorting to the referendum II
the several school districts.
All in all, the concensus OF
opinion is that the governor did the
best he could with situation
which had been wished upon hin
by the Legislature. - Evening

FEDERAL AMEND
MENTS CANNUT
BE SUBMITTED TO
REFERENDUM VOTE
Supreme Court Hands Down
Unanimous Decision On
Disputed Point

The United States Supreme
Court in unanimous decision
rendered June first, held that
Federal constitutional amendments
cannot be submitted to popular
vote for ratification by states hav-
ing referendum provisions in their
constitutions. Power to ratlfy a
Federal amendment, according to
the court s decision, is derived from
the Federal Constitution and a
state has no authority to designate
the means Of ratification. "Legls-
latures' were construed to mean
the recognized legislative body in
each state, according to the opinion
of the Supreme Court, which held
also that the ratification of an
amendment is not legislative act
and any other construction would
result in endless confusion.
The decision, which reverses that
of the State Supreme Court of
Ohio, settles the suffrage question
in the other states which have been
awaiting the action of the United
States Supreme Court.
Next to the eases involving the
validity of the prohibition amend
ment and it's enforcement, the
Ohio referendum cases where con-
sidered the most important before
the Supreme Court.
