Settlers are divided into many
kinds.
Among those who have done a great
service to mankind In the classfica-
tIon of settlers are Dun and Brad
street and the Credit Mems assocla-
tion.
Some people are proud to be called
"early settlers" but many Of the early
settlers in one place did so because
they were such late and reluctant set
tiers somewhere else.
Shakespeare said: "The evil that
men do lives after them"
But the people that men do run
nfter them, send after them, and do
other dlsagreeable things like that
One hears now and then of an "Old
settlers picnic
TO try to organize prompt settlers
picnic" it would be rank failure
There wouldn't be enough persons
there for quorum.
The only people you can converse
freely with on the subject Of settling
is the man you owe.
The man who owes you Is strangely
reticent and sensitive on the subject,
and will even rudely walk away If
you persist In referring to those dis
agreeable things.
The average old settler. II you have
the dots on him, will stick fairly close
to the actual year he moved into the
community.
But II you haven't got him tagged,
he'll stretch 1t at least fifteen years.
The inducers to colonization are al
ways begging people to come there
and settle.
Their pleading usually gets those
that the former neighbOrhood pleads
with to stay where they are and
settle.

MARY GARDENA|DS
APOLLO OF NAVY
Talented Sailor Boy Owes His
Stage Career to Opera
Star.

A musical writer gives this chat
about Mary Garden:
The report comes from Paris that
owing TO the tie-up OF the Paris rail-
roads, Mary Garden left for the sunny
South by automobile. followed by q
number OF trucks that carried over
nve tons OF her baggage. And then
there are critics who have the con-
summate gall to tell us that Mary In
most OF her performances appears
nearly In the Altogether" Where
do the five tons OF clothes and gem
erai baggage come In? 1t surely can
not be all makeup.
Which reminds me that "Our Mary"
has played the star role In helping
immortalize the Apollo OF the Ameri-
can Navy whose name is, / believe.
Minor McLain. He was called so
during the war II seems. because OF
his classic features. his stalwart. ath-
letic figure. He Is now one OF the
male contingent OF the "Floradora"
sextet. This paragraph / quote from
the press agent story that has been
sent me.
1t appears that this Apollo owes
his stage career TO Mary Garden.
While he was attending the naval
school at Columbia he was the guest
of Mrs. Robert Garden. Mary's mother.
at a performance OF "Thais" at the
Lexington Avenue Opera House. Dur
ing one OF the intermissions he was
presented to Our Mary" who, the
moment she set eyes ON him. kissed
him. Hence he can no longer pose
among the great unkissed. This
caused McLain to be the subject OF
much newspaper attention.
Not to be behind sour Mary" in ap-
probation of the American Apollo.
Lillian Russell. who Is now in her
third youth. designated him as the
ideal American sailor boy" And you
know Howard Chandler Christie i'm
mortalized his features on thousands
of navy posters which he drew for
the American navy.
However, McLain has chance as
singer. for it is said that Titta
Ruffo considered his baritone voice
worthy of cultivation. SO ii Is possi-
BILE that in a few years Minor McLain
may cease to be a beauty star in
"Floradora" and blossom out as a
real star on the operate stage.

LAID BY FOR THE WINTER

Months Supply.

The eleventh hour, or. rather, six

madcap phenomenon to the good
housewives of cid New York. They

they have had less than six months
provisions in the larder.
According to the memory of one
small boy of seventy-five years ago
the thrifty Dutch folk who lived along
the west side Of what is now down
town New York laid in stores in Oc-
tober and November to last until April
or May. They bought a quarter of
beef. hog or sheep to furnish the
pieces de resistance Of the winters
meals. The beef was corned or
smoked. The pork and mutton was
similarly cured and put away. The
smoking was done in public smoke
houses, maintained for profit.
Darrel of flour. two or three of
apples and potatoes added the vege-
table content to the menus. Other
supplies to lend variety were laid by
in lesser quantities. All sorts of farm
products were purchasable in the fall
at minimum prices, because at that
time many sailing vessels and barges
came down the river from upstate
laden with stores. AS winter and the

townfolk consequently bought at an
advantage. which they we're not slow

If you have the grit you can COM
mand respect. The world doesn't want
any fawning apologies. That may
serve a purpose under some weak
sister" circumstances, but never under
the greatest need. Some folks wonder
why 1t is that "all the world loves a
lover" The fact is lover must have
grit. Women want their heroes to he
leaders. daring. Irresistible. They
want men who do things. They even
like to be made do few things they
protest but enjoy just the same.
Weaklings do not dare such audacity.
They fear they will lose the maiden's
smiles. AS matter of fact it's the
daring and the assurance that wins.
Faint heart never won fair lady" we
are told. Even in lovemaking you
must have grit. And what's more the
fellow that does not have grit doesn't
deserve to win. Why should a wom-
an waste herself on a mOl!y-coddle?

Fish Nets, the First Lace.

Examine a, piece of fine and costly
lace. What is it fundamentally?
1t is net. BY origin it is fish
net. The first lacemaker was fish
erman, or perhaps his wife
All of the beautiful laces we know
today are developed from that clever
invention, the fish net. They bark
back, therefore, far into the prebis-
toric.
The first white men who came to
America found no lacamakers on this
continent, but they did find the In
dams weaving fabrics of cotton. Yucca
and other fabrics. with elaborate pat
tern designs. They were particularly
skillful at certain sort of drawn
work."
The California Indians of today
make cotton lace, but the art has been
taught to them by white people. The
pottery they make for sale is some
times adorned with this lace.
Which suggests mention of the fact
that the early Indians often decorated
their pottery with textile patterns by
impressing the latter upon the clay
while soft.
