MENDED FOR CURTAILING
GAMBLING
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. s, 1922.
Mayor w. COPYRIGHT Smith,
wildwood, N. j.

wildwood, N. J..
Dear Sir: Permit me to thank you
and the other officials Of your city on
the a~bolishing of the gambling games
on the boardwalk at Wildwood. Dur
ing the summer of last year, 1921, ur-
ing u annual vacation at Wildwood
we had our grandson, a boy of 10, on
a visit to us. The lad, of course, spent
a good part of his evenings on the
boardwalk. and at the end of less than
his first week with us we were dumb
founded to learn that he had spent
over $1,000, which he had saved up for
his vacation, at these gambling games,
with nothing to show for it but a few
scent pottery vases. We then decided
to go elsewhere this year, 1922, but
hearing from friends residing in Wild
wood that no more gambling games
would be allowed, agreed to spend July
and August OF this year again at Wild
wood and were pleased with the i'm
provement. Very truly yours,
(Signed) F. J. WALKELEG.

with an arm through Johns.
Nor could Leila seem to make any

The Way Of a Man With a Widow.
THE fair Leila Graham was be-
ing much Laughed abonf IN

TIME fair Leila Graham was be-
ing much laughed about in
the summer colony in which
she lived. and tho fact that
she knew she was being laughed at
did not add to her peace. For the
first time in her life she had met a
man who was unmoved by her charms.
One Arthur Mallory, who was the
Lindsays' guest
Leila was a born tease and a born
fllrt. But very good company, indeed.
and a highly decorative person. She
and Merriam Lindsay had been school
girls together. indeed, she had been
one Of Merriam's bridesmaids, but
there was small love between them
in these days. Which bothered Leila
not at all but fretted Merriam much.
For all summer long Leila, with
the double purpose of tantaltzing
Merriam and having good-looking
blond man person at her heels, had
been able to give the entire neigh
borhood The impression that John
Lindsay was rather devoted to her.
He wasn't. Yet he would not have
been human II he had not found her
company most amusing. And Leila
adroitly managed 1t SO that ne was
much in her company. John himself
lied how often he was seen with the
charming widow. On hot July morn
ings as he plodded along dusty road
to the trolley 1t was quite natural
to sigh relief when she stopped to
pick him up in her roadster.
Late afternoons, as Leila and every
body else knew, John had practically
a standing date for an hours tennis
on the Blaisdell courts with the two
Blaisdell boys and Merry's cousin,
Cecily Leland. who was spending the
summer as the Blaisdelrs guest. Leila
aware Of the cool welcome her hostess
vouchsafed.
Merriam was not often there; these
long. trying days she spent mostly
on her own screened ana snaoeu
porch save for an hour in her beloved
down the lane with John. She was
far too proud to ask John not to ride
so much with Leila, but it hurt her
pride very much to have John leap
from Leila's car almost every night
at dinner time. shouting some bit Of
good bye banter.
Arthur Mallory, watching his hos
tess, guessed how much she was cut
by Johns carelessness. The young
sculptor was far too clever to fiatter
Johns vanity by calling his hosts at
tention to the matter. But profound
distaste for the widows tactics had
been Arthur's ever since the first
evening he had met her.
Mallory had been growing steadily
stronger. He was a far different
looking man than the anaemic person
that Merriam had rescued In the
spring. Hours in Merriam's garden
had bronzed his skin, long nights of
sleep had mended his shattered
nerves and days of Susan Sues ex-
cellent cooking had added much to
his weight He was not yet cured,
but he was long way along the road
to recovery

attempt at tennis; he went into vio-

Though Farmer Browns Boy had
given SO much thought to the needs
and comfort of his feathered friends
who nest in holes Of trees or houses
put up for them. he did not forget
those other feathered friends who
build their nest in the branches Of
the trees, or in vines or bushes. In
different parts Of the Old Orchard
he put up little wire holders which
he had filled with material such as
birds delight in for use in building
their nests.
Remembering that Chippy, the
Chipping Sparrow, would not be happy
unless his nest was lined with hair
from the tail or name OF horse, he
had carefully saved all the hair which
he had combed out from the tails Of

holders. In another he placed strips

1t didn't take the newcomers to
the Old Orchard long to discover
these things. MY. N.Y. exclaimed
Goldie, the Oriole. as Mrs. Goldie
pulled some long fbers from one of
the holders. This is going to save
us a lot of trouble. Well get to
nesting a lot sooner than if We had
to hunt for all our material"
Chippy and Mrs. Chippy spied the
horsehair at once the very day of.
their arrival and they became quite
excited. well stay right here in
the Old Orchard. declared Mrs.
Chippy. II had thought we might go
somewhere else this year. but this
settles it. Every year it gets harder
to find hair. I am always a little
worried for fear we will not find
enough. Here is plenty and to spare"
It was just the same with the other
birds. Never had 1t been SO easy for
any of them to find the things they
wanted to build their nests of. They
talked it all over among themselves
and agreed that this year the Old
Orchard was the best place in all
the Great World. And more than
ever they agreed that Farmer Browns
Boy was the best boy in all the Great
World.

"A make skim" replied Cresty.
Mrs. Cresty will never have a mo-
rnent's peace until she has a snake skin
in her nest. and snake skins are hard
to and. I have been hunting for one
ever since we arrived. but haven't
found one yet, or even piece of
one."

great disgust. Some people do have
awful tastes. 1t gives me the creeps
Just to think Of a snake skin. Ugh"

Cresty, 1.-The liking some people have
for sticks and rubbish Is more than
I can understand" You know. Jenny
wren's nest is anything but neat.
She and Mr.. Wren seem to think that
the more they can jam into their
house the better it Is.
Jenny Wren jerked her tail angrily
and turned her back on Cresty.
sammy Jay, who had overheard the
remarks, chuckled. For once" said
he, "Jenny Wren couldn't find her
tongue. But 1 must say snake skin
IL too much for me. Mrs. Jay would
have very much the same feeling that
Jenny Wren has. ] guess IL 1 should
bring home a snake skin she would
leave me-"
'Then il you find one don't take it
home, but tell me where it is" re-
piled Cresty, and went off to look
