port the Americas Cup races. They
came back to New York much hum
bled. 1t didn't worry them that Phil
lips could see things as plainly in a
fog bank fifteen or twenty miles away
as they could read a printed page in
broad daylight-that was his business.
But it did grind them, after a heated
argument among themselves as to
whether a certain shadow on the hori-
zon was a fishing smack or the
Mauretania or a torpedo boat de-

drag up a chair, climb on. IT, and after
gently hut firmly removing their quar-
relling heads from the eye piece an
nOunce: That's a coal scow with a
Moaun tug towing IT,"
It was also painful after a general
amateur agreement that no signals
had been displayed on the committee

a half miles away, to have Bessie or
Mabel quietly begin to rehd off: THE
course Is TO be south southwest by
west" and rub things in by letting
one of the wise boys take a squint at
three apparently colorless little flags
on the signal halyards Of a tiny tug,
and then checking off like a patient
kindergarten teacher the code flags
on the colored chart in his hand.
Every day after school the twins
go up to the tower and look through
the telescopes and tell their daddy
what they see-and he will not tell
them the name Of the boat until they
get the description exactly right.
And sometimes when there are three
ships to be watched for signals
through different port holes he let's
them really help, And in time II
they want to spend their lives look
ing down on the vastness Of the
waters and the rolling heights of the
land they will undoubtedly know his
very delicately specialized calling as
well as he does. They are already
good enough at telegraphy to know
his calls so they can watch the wires
for him while he Is down at the bot
tom of the tower house at his lunch.
1t was Phillips who started a lot of
premature criticism from the super
ticially wise by reporting in the days
when THERE were rumors of fotilla
of German submarines in these waters
that he had seen a strange black OBJ
jcct submerging ten miles of shore
and that there was momentary mist
of vapOr or steam drifting from the
spot. -Four hours later pHir OF

Mr.. Jarr handed over the paper,

ventured Mr.. Jarr, mildly
"Oh, your friend, the divorce ?"
replied Mrs, Jarr. It's easy enough
for THAT kind OF woman to look
young! And then she's blonde, and
blondes wear well-that is, they never
seem to get much older till they are
over forty. And then. all Of a sudden,
they age so they can't hide it,"
Tut! TUT" said Mr.. Jarr in mild
disapproval
"Oh, don't you tut t-tur me-" said
Mrs. Jarr. IT'S very queer how
greatly interested you are in that
lady. But, then, that's the kind of
woman that always appeals to you
men! 1t seems strange to me that
one of that sort can get two or three
husbands, while n nice girl like Cora
Hickett can't get one, although she
tries her best, and 50 does that ter
rSble old mother Of hers"

Cora Hlokett has fine clothes, still,
she has no style about her, and, If

sus enumerator, I'd ask some ques-
tions of that Mrs. Kittingly"
What would you ask" inquired
Mr.. Jarr.
"Td make Mrs. Kittingly give me
the full particulars OF her divorce
cases. You know adj blondes are
natural born falsiHers. The way
that woman can look you i'm the eve
with a baby stare and tell you things
you know are not true! And the in
nocent airs OF her! And I'd have
some questions for Mrs. Stryver, too.
I'd ask HER II it were true that her
husband had TO leave Chicago to
avoid the police and II she and her
sister kept bOardoTs those days. And
the airs she puts on now"
"I do not think those questions
are in the census" said Mr.. Jarr.
I'D put them in," said Mrs Jarr.
They'd think they were legal and

|HERRH STREET, named for the
u cherry orchard of Mayor
Thomas Delaney, 1866 1871,
starts under Brooklyn Bridge at
Dover Street and runs up to
Grand Street. From Dover Street
1t slopes down hill for one short
block to Roosevelt Street, This
one block, no more, no less, between
Dover and Roosevelt is the famous
Cherry Hill, spot of glorious memory
to the old-time IIishman OF New
York City. Proud indeed is the lad
to-day who can say MY people lived
on Cherry Hill"
Cherry Hill was the Fifth Avenue
Of the east side, for here once dwelt
the IriShtocracy of the old days.
"Down the Hill lived sons OF Cork,
Kerry Limerick and all OF the finest
counties in Ireland" said an old
timer flushing with pride. But they
are gone now"
Gone the jovial, hearty, genial and
belligerent red-blOOds who adven-
tured to this country from Ireland,
coming through Castle Garden to
settle in Cherry Hill and the sur
rounding district.
The ancient houses are there still,
each thick with Irish tradition, but
the people are gone. Italians possess
the premises to-day and the only
thing Irish visible Ia the name Of a
well-known manufacturer Of rubber
heels displayed on window cards in
the Italian Shoe store.
One must go out OF the district for
information about the old life there.
81 lived in old Cherry Hill," said an
old timer; "knew all the families.
Eugene Haley was at No. %
Cherry Street.
John McAllister at No 27, Pat
Davis at is. John Randles had a
grocery shop at No. 2S Jim Camp
bell was another old name. All de-
cent people, a credit TO the city.
THE streets around the Hill were
not crowded like they are to-day, and
you could gossip about the neigh'bor-
hood or walk along the river front in
safety"
in the district today II any old
timer is left. no friendly gossip says
Good morning Mrs. So-and- So"
from the stoops as she pasees to mar
kct or church.
But this old 4th WARD was Jolly
settlement long ago. THE Square
Back Rangers" said my gossip,
were n fine lot Of lads Their head
quarters were at No IS Cherry. You
should see them in fancy dress pa
rade on Thanksgiving Day. They
would start in the morning. 500
strong, going from the Hill to the
Hall Webster Hall sometimes. They
went on horseback or in carriages
and with bands a-playinR.

That carries one OF those hoRey-
Dokeys over his fifth rib is a loud
bang in frat circles. Every year
they murder 100000 oysters Just
to get pearls for the edge OF those
pins. 90
The big minute in frat guys life
is when he gives a gal that pin. The
skies quiver and the gods halt. tlll
the safety clasp pierces the dameN
georgette. According to all the by
laws and umpty-umpty OF the sacred
frat, the lady is now engaged 70 the
yap that just gave up the pin. IT Is

grand and solemn handclasp has all
the finger movements of a carpet
solo without the cornet. When Greek
letter guy meets Greek letter guy,
then comes the tug Of paws. There
is no thrill like feeling the aitifor-
lied squeeze Of a brother frathead.
The Greek grip is a much worser
disease than the Spanish influenza.
The intricate moves OF the regular
handclasp make the Bertillon ,sys-
tenn look like rough description.
But even so, the grips a good thing
for the college guy-lt's the one Wind

that's our argument You don't have

No guy has made the most OF his
education unless he comes from col
lege dropping with frat pin on his
chest. A bird that spends four years
in the front-llne benches without
bagging a campus crolx de guerre Is
skipping close to the nix column. He
must face the world without fancy
hatband, without a mystic grip to
slip all comers, and without the
Greek alphabet peeking from his
vest. And that's some handicap.
Since sport shoes came down to $6 a
pair 1t is getting harder and harder
to distinguish collegers.
There are 11,926,012 combinations
of the Greek alphabet and just that
many frats Everything secret is
labelled from alpha TO omega, in
cludlng salad dressing and llnlment.
And any guy that lopes through col
lege without being tagged for some
Greek outfit is dud with a capital
ID and a missing fuse.
The frat guys are the outstanding
gazinks OF the alma mater-the boys
that drink the midnight fusel oil.
The collegiate Ku Klux is the real
thing in the mystic department. And
the Greek letters are code language
for something hidden and unseen
as, for example, Beta Vodka Delta
for B.VDs. The boys that peddle
the hush dope make a moonshiner
look like a public character.
All the real folks have been
tagged for honors. George Wash
