on certain suburban railway line which l used to patronize there was one train day in which We always used to call the banana train" It was through train from some point far beyond our pleasant suburban towns, and the floor of each car was always strewn with banana skins, orange peels, candy wrappers, pea nut shells and other debris scat tered, by the cOllarless tourists who, with their Italian wives and multi tudlnous youngsters infested the seats. Unless our errand in the city happened to be of almost life-or- death importance, nothing could hire any of us to board the banana traiui
 Last summer l took a trip up the Hudson river on the great day boat bound for Albany. It was a glorious summer day and the noble palisades rose in a majestic line, as we left be- hind us the imposing palisades of tall apartment houses. But We were a little late getting on board, and the camp chairs near the rail were all occupied, except for a few which we were able to wedge in between two family groups.
 These groups were widely different in character. One family was of the over dressed, talking, much laughing variety, eternally munch- ing or drinking something. They bought every kind of confection and threw the papers on the deck, and they drank audibly from bottles of sarsaparilla. They threw papers on the deck below, where other passen- gers were sitting, or flung them into the water making the river look like a huge waste basket.
 On our other side, however, sat father, mother and two little folks. They were quiet, though merry enough as well. They told the chil- dren stories of the river, of the In dians who once roamed on the banks, of the operation of nature in forming these great palisades. Graham crack CTS were handed out now and then, but their traces were quickly wiped away When they ate their lunch their laps were spread with two or three paper napkins, into which all debris was gathered up, put back into the lunch-boX, and this box handed (with dime) to a steward to be disposed of.
 It was not long before we had turned our backs on the noisy, uh- tidy party at our left and set our chairs facing this dainty, well-bred family at our right. They were not defacing the view of one of the most beautiful natural sights in our coun- try, and they saved our day rom De- ing spoiled. .

CHAPTER 12O

The birthday celebration was a success. Not a cloud darkened Wini- fred's horizon until she and Donald returned to her home after dinner that evening.
 At the matinee, and at the dinner In the McAplin grill, her guardian had been charming. He had avoided all subjects that might worry her. When she had spoken of her busi- ness affairs, he had suggested that they postpone discussion of them until their 'ceIebration" was over.
 1t was not yet me o'clock when they reached te apartment on River side Drive. The night was cool, ana Donald asked permission to light the gas logs on the small hearth.
 They are only an apology for an open fire" he admitted. Yet they do take the chill off the room, and are cheerful, ,-Saren't they?"
 Yes she agreed. They are rather good looking, I think
 He stood watching her as she re- moved her hat and coat. Then he drew small parcel from his pocket
 For you, dear Winifred" he said.
 "Oh!" she exclaimed. "A birthday present
 You did not suppose I would let the day pass without making myself happy by giving you some little trifle did yol?" he asked.
 T thought our party was your birthday gift for me. Oh, Dona1dm as, having removed the tissue paper from the packet, she lifted the lid of the small case inside. "Oh, Donald"
 On the white velvet lining of the box was a pendant. It was a single oblong sapphire, perfect in color, with a small pearl at the top. With it was a slender gold chain, the clasp of which was another small pearl.
 For a moment after her ecstatic exclamation she stood motionless, her eyes fixed on the piece of jewery It was eXquisite-such an ornament as young girl could wear, yet so handsome that ap old woman might be proud of it.
 O o o
 She Kisses Donald.
 Suddenly the girl laid the little case on the table, and with ges- ture of abandonment turned to her guardian. Before he could suspect her intention she had thrown her arms about his neck and had kissed him full on the cheek.

Not unless they are anxious to figure in the divorce court. In the old fairy tales the cricket chirruping on the hearth was the symbol of dom lestic felicity. The critic on the hearth is something else again, Nav russ, and the minute it begins to peep, that instant Reno is put on the map of a married couple.
 There are lots of things that hus- bands and wives will stand for from each other, but being corrected by the partners of their bosoms is not one of them. They will overlook unfaithfulness, but when it comes to having their wives and husbands as- sume a superior air and point out their little weaknesses to them, the meekest Job and the most patient Griselda- get their backs up and fight like Kilkeny cats.
 It is great pity that marriage cannot be a mutual improvement so- ciety, because husbands and wives have it in their power so often to give each other great help if only they would accept it.
 It happens very frequently, for ex- ample. that man marries a woman who comes of much better family

Perhaps the reason that husbands and wives are so unduly sensitive to each others criticism is because our vanity cannot endure to know that the one we love best, and In whose eyes we most desire to shine, sees our faults and weaknesses, and knows us for the poor, imperfect hu- man beings we are. We had deluded ourselves into believing that some one had an an affection for us so great that he or she was blinded to our shortcomings, and we cannot bear to know that this is not true.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-08-13

Nor are women any more amenable to criticism from their husbands than men are from wifely criticism. Many optimistic gentlemen, who are them- selves educatad and cultured, marry pretty, illiterate, unrefined girls in the fond belief that they will have no difficulty in making their wives over according to their taste.
 But they find that their slightest suggestion that wife should study and improve herself, and that she has anything to learn in department, is met with such flood of tears or storm of anger that the poor man never has the courage to make sec ond attempt to raise his wife to his level.
 Women won't learn of their hus- bands. They will not profit by their husbands criticism. Yet many a wife would find that she could make ends meet on her allowance and save her self half of her work if she would permit her husband to organize her house for her on the same prin- ciples on which he runs his busi- ness.

 The man may have achieved great things. He may have risen from a barefooted boy to millionaire. He may elicit our admiration in a thou sand ways by his initiative, his energy, his push. We may love him for his kindness and his generosity But with all his virtures his gram mar may be rickety, his pronunciation faulty; he may still speak in the

Of course, perpetual fault-finding is an aggravation not to be borne. Eternal nagging about some little peculiarity, the eternal knocking of everything one does will wear away any affection. But this is far differ ent from the constructive criticism that points out to us a fault and gives us the opportunity to correct it if we will.
 And it is this helpful calling Of each others attention to their little weaknesses; this giving of each of his or her greater knowledge and experience to the other, that hus- bands and wives should be able to offer each other, but that experi- ence soon teaches them they cannot do.
 Curiously enough, men and women do not resent criticism from strang- CTS so much as they do from their own husbands and wives. A man will
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-08-13

Our poor, miserable egotism makes us want to think that we have got our husbands, or our wives, fooled into thinking us without flaw or blemish, and so we will not stand for the criticism that will help us.

SPRING WORK IS STARTING
 STEEL BEING DISTRIBUTED

The work of distributing steel along the Nenana-Fairbanks division of the Alaska Railroad was inau- gurated this week, preliminary to the standardization of that section of the line. New and heavy rails will be laid over large portion of the line, to take the place of the light steel used when the road was built. And where standard weight steel is already in use the rails will be widened to standard gauge.
 Weather conditions being favor able, this work will be completed within few weeks, so that it is reasonably certain standard gauge equipment will be going through to Fairbanks from Nenana during the early summer.

BOWEN HOME IS SCENE OF
 ENJOYABLE SHoWER-PARTY

A miscellaneous shower in hon. or of Miss Margaret Southworth, whose engagement to MT. Arthur Frodenberg, of Anchorage was an- nounced recently, was given by Mrs. J. R. Bowen on Tuesday even- ing, and the popular young bride to-be was the recipient of many beautiful and useful gifts. The evening was a most enjoyable one, with games of various kinds, vocal and instrumental music and a de- lightful luncheon.
 One of the games was a guessing contest. Pictures of prominent nov ie actors and actresses were arrang- ed on the wall and the guests were required to guess the names. Mrs. J. J. Kestly identified the largest number and was awarded the prize.
 Then followed an advertisement guessing which went to Mrs R. c. Southworth, with the largest num- Der of correct answers.
 Slips were then passed around and each lady was requested to write a bit of advice for the bene- fit of the bride-to-be, after which they were read and the advised one decided which she considered the best advice. Mrs. William Rodig- keit won the prize.
 The ladies present were: Mes danes W. C. Steinmetz. Robert E. Burns. Oscar Rothenburg, William J. Taylor, C. L. Schooling, Alex Fowler, R. ". Calderhead. J. J. Kestly, C. c Jones, Margaret Han ot. E. J. Cronin, A. B. Phillips, R. G. Southworth William Rodigkeit, J. R. Bowen and Misses Catherine McMahan, Vera Russell and Mar garet Southworth.

PARK SUPERINTENDENT SAYS
 MANY VISITORS ARE COMING

Superintendent Harry Kartens, of Nit. Mckinley National Park who was in Nenana this week on a brief visit, accompanied by Mrs. Kar- stems and their son Eugene, says advices which have come to him from the park service headquarters at Washington, indicate heavy tra- vel toward Alaska during the com ing season. One letter states de- finitely that the Brooklyn Eagle party will visit the park for the purpose of dedicating the great re serve, and there is promise of a number of other distinguished vi sitors in that locality, including Major Gotshall, who spent a brief time in the park last summer as the guest of the superintendent Kar- stems. He was to have returned to Alaska early in the year but was compelled to abandon the trip tenn porarily on account of illness.
 It is the intention of superinten- dent karstens to arrange a barbecue for the entertainment of the Brook lyn Eagle party.
 The park service has turned down all propositions relating to the building of hotels in the park for the accommodation of visitors, the reason for this action being that 1t is not deemed advisable at this time to grant hotel concessions owing to the fact that there are no roads. l. is argued that, until the park service has put a road into the park from the railroad, high and successful hotel development is hardly to be expected
 Visitors going into the park dur ing the coming summer will have to make the best of conditions as they find them, it being uncertain at this time if it will be possible to find even an established pack outfit to meet the requirements of the season. Dan Kennedy has been negotiating with the service for the privilege of operating a pack train and is ready to put considerable money into the proposition provid- ing he can get a concession for more than a year. Mir Kennedy is now in the East and expects to go to Washington shortly to lay his proposition before park service of ficials. He insists on concession covering period of years, while the park service has indicated a de- sire to give the privelge for a year at a time.
