TERM NOT EASY TO DEFINE
Writer Finds It Hard to Explain Just
What Should be Meant by the
Word Lady"

If anyone should ever ask us, and
we've often wished somebody would,
"What is lady?" we'd answer so fast
that the words would step on one an
others heels: "A lady is. a nice voice
and a fine, clean, high heart. and a
mind that never lets anybody down,
and a soul that sees the good in things
and people as long as 1t possibly can
all done up In an exqulsltely clean
body that carries itself around as II
the ground we're thing one just
touched and 1t sped along behind, and
that wraps itself up In self-contalned,
well-bred immaculate 'underlings'
that never have colored ribbons In
them or cheap lace on them"
And then because we'd know that
we hadn't even touched the subject,
we'd add: "She couldn't possibly wear
shoes that have their heels somewhere
In the middle of them, or carry
'hankie' that looks like a grimy ball,
or lie, or cheat, or marry for money,
or hurt an animal, or break her word
to baby.
"But she could wash windows, or
sell egg-beaters, or be very stiff and
shy, or careless and gay and have her
hat tumbllng over one ear, or wear
the same clothes four years, or eat
with her knife or even write"
And then because we'd know that
we hadn't covered It yet, we'd add:
"Why, lady just ls that's all And
you can tell her from the ones that
aren't almost instantly, no matter what
happens or how unjust 1t Is And for
another thing, no matter how shabby
she is or velvet-and-lacy, she's clean"

Best Always to Come.

Many years ago I was smoking a
cigar with Dion Bouclcault in his
room. Sundry matters were discussed,
and all the while was gaining knowl-
edge that l could not have boasted
when entered, for Boucicault was one
of the best informed and most agree
ably lmpartlve men l have known. He
was asked how many plays he had
written.
"Oh, great number-several hun
dred, maybe, beginning with london
Assurance In 1871. OF course you I'M
derstand that many Of the plays bear
Ing my name are only adaptations, still
the number is prodigious-cOnslderlng
the source" he said with wink.
"Well, then" said, "Of all your
plays. what one In your judgment Is
the bestr
me dear boy" he answered In the
inimitably bland tone that BoucIcault
also alone could use, "me best play?
All! I think It's the wan I'm going TO
write next."-Detroit Free Press.

TRIBUTE TO DOGS OF WAR


An official report has now been Is
used on the exploits of the British
war dogs at the front. Hitherto moth
ing has been known about them ex-
cept the occasional appearance in the
war films of some shaggy dog rushing
desperately across a piece of she'll
Scared country.
The corps of messenger dogs was
the creation of Col. Richardson, the
widely-known advocate of the use Of
dogs In war and police work. The
dogs were trained at war office
school OF instruction. Men with u
knowledge of dogs, such as game
keepers, shepherds and hunt servants,
were selected as instructors. The first
dog recruits came from various homes
for lost dogs, and many soldier owes
his life to a stray dog saved from the
lethal chamber by the war. Unclaimed
dogs were sent to the camp by the
police and many people sent their pets
as war volunteers.
The best breeds for the purpose
proved to be collies, sheep dogs, lurch-
ers, Welsh and Irish terriers, Aire-
dales and mixtures Of these varieties.
The dogs were splendid. They would
make their way through a tremendous
barrage where no human being could
90, and would take a vltally-needed
message back In ten minutes over
ground which would take a runner
hours to cross. They were wounded
sometimes, but went on just the same.
During the great German push In
March a Highland sheep dog ran about
two and a half miles in ten minutes
with an appeal for relnforcements, and
by so doing prevented very serious
disaster. Part Of our line was lso-
lated by the barrage, and, thanks to
the dog, a division of French colon.
ials came up In time and saved the
situation.
Dogs did good service in following
up the assaultlng troops and taking
back essential information about the
condition of the line and the rein
forcements needed.
Out in the Balkans dogs were used
as sentries, and one of them barked
the news of the approach Of Bulgar
scout when he was hundreds Of yards
away.

The American elm Is tree that
many say deserves first place In the
tree hall of fame. 1t Is even more
beautiful in winter than summer.
When the elm grows all its life in the
open 1t has q broad, rounded top, oc-
caslonally shaped like that of an oak,
but with more gracefully extended
limbs. One Of the most common and
striking forms has vase-shaped top.
The trunk rises, n single shaft, for
many feet.
The American elm Is not only pic
turesque, but is also large and use
full lumber tree. In the forest 1t holds
Its head aloft on clean, straight
trunk. Its medum-slzed fiattened top
is composed Of many heavy twisted
branches. The usual size is 2 to 4
feet In diameter and 80 to 100 feet in
height, but elms to II feet In dame
ter and 120 to 40 feet high have been
known.
