Have Soft Time,

The Yankees have had a soft
time winning from the Griffs and the
Browns this season. Thirteen out of
seventeen games with the Griffs
have been New York victories, while
the Browns have won only two out
of twelve from the Yankees.

An average of twenty-five games
won in thirty played year is
Pfiel's record and it is probable that
no other Washington sandlot pitcher
has equalled it. After pitching a
year or two Emil became a star and
was used by strong teams. Thus,
he was made to face many strong
foes and his record therefore, is espe.
cially noteworthy.
Today he is the manager and
pitcher of the Mercury club and a
reliance of the Arlington team, the
latter a leading contender for the
championship of Arlington cOun-
ty, Va.

pitched nine one-hit games.
While toiling on the hill for the
War Risk team in the Depart

ing out twenty-five batters in one
game. To fully realize how great
was this stunt one must think it
over carefully. 1t has many angles
In all his brilliant career young
Pfeil has never been able to realize
his greatest ambition. He wants to
pitch a no-hit game. Even In max.

An odd feature of his one-htt
games is the fact that it was the
first batter that got the bingle.
Incidentally, Emil has proved
his strength as an iron man, de-
spite lack of size. In the same
year he made his strike out mark,
he pitched five games in one week,
winning them all.

seem reasonable that he would

 Of course, Richard had some good reasons for asserting that he would be able to meet the note he had given Muir. Winifred reminded her self of this. She had faith in him. That was enough.
 In the meantime she saw the young idealist frequently. He explained to her that, during the summer months, business was so dull that one could accomplish little in the way of organization. So he was marking time until the cool weather arrived.
 Then, too, my regular job ab- sorbs much 0f my attention" he added T am pretty strong-but confess that I sometimes feel the result of the strain of unremitting work that has kept up since I left school"
 You get no vacation this sum- mer?" she queried.
 T may get a few days off" he replied. q am not sure yet. You, yourself, are staying In town all summer?"
 Pes" she said decidedly, then emented-"Except when I go away for week ends"
 That was the compromise that she and her guardian had made. Muir had suggested her leaving town for at least a month. She had objected. But when he had insisted that she spend several week-ends out of the city, his manner had brooked no re- fusal.
 Thus, 1t came about that the girl, accompanied by Mrs. Bates, went to Lake Hopatcong every Saturday dur ing August and early September.
 The first of these outings Winifred did not enjoy, for she was stranger in the big hotel in which she took rooms. But, as she became accus- toned 10 her surroundings, she &C., quired a sense of her own importance as guest in a popular resort.
 Mrs. Bates effaced herself as much as possible. Winifred's meals were served in her own room. Muir had insisted on this.
 Ut would be awkward for Mrs. Bates to eat with you in the public dining roCmf' he explained. And a young girl cannot dine alone in such a place. If you make congenial friends and wish to take your meals with them, that Is quite another mat ter"

VESTED CHAIRS

Again our salutations to the man ufacturing ingenuity which keeps g keen eye fixed on the home and its needs. To replace inconvenient ar- ticles with conveniences; to design furniture, utensils and tools to fit every kind and size of room; to pro- duce constantly greater comfort, compa ctness, and comeliness in every department of the home-this Is the unceasing effort of the manufactur- CTS. and how they do achieve their puroses.fz
 The dweller in the tiny apartment, or the oneroom-an -and-bath occupant, will welcome the newest and most useful of nestled articles-nested ed chairs. We have had nests of tables for some time. those little stands within stands which could open out on demand into three tea tables, card tables, or sewing stands. We have had nested baskets which could be fitted together to take up the room of only one basket and yet be separated into three or four, at need.

Advises Wives To Go Away Alone

sacrifice her good time having q bad time to please her husband. Each to his taste should certainly each others nerves. They have be the slogan for the family vaca- tion.
 Another reason why husbands and wives are wise to take their va. cations separately is because the av~ craze married couple are entirely too much married. They are to- gether so much that they get upon such overdoses of each others so- ciety that they are talked out, and have nothing left to say to each other.
 In the course of eleven months and half the man and woman have told each other everything they know or think they know. Each has heard all of the others pet stories, and grievances, and complaints, and backwards in their sleep. and they need to get out and get fresh, new, individual impressions and lay in another stock of anecdotes and remi- niscences. The married couple who never part are as dumb as wooden images, but let either one go off alone and they chatter their heads off when they meet again.
 In one of Bernard Shaw's plays a man gives as his reason for taking his philandering wife back that she was always so entertaining when she returned from one of her little ad- ventures. That's going bit too far for unphilosophical husbands and wives, but all the same, married peo- pie must be perpetually finding some- thing new and interesting to talk about if they are to escape the greatest menace of domesticity, which Is boredom.
 Every wife should have her va cation from her husband and from her children also if 1t can be possibly managed. No other woman needs a vacation so badly as does a domestic haGa.,Sn th Ls of a,

such a woman gets worn out, and de- spondent, and irritable, and disgrun- tied.
 She needs to get away from 1t all so as to get the right perspective on her home and her family and see that making a home isn't just sordid toil. It Is the greatest career in the world and to realize that even the incessant cry of Mo -ther" that sometimes nearly runs her crazy Is sweeter in her ears than the most golden note that Caruso ever sang.
 But while every wife should have her vacation, there should be a strict limit to 1t. Two weeks Is long enough. Two months is too long Absence is like paprika. A little of it gives pep and flavor to domes- ticity. An over-quantity spells the dish.

Men Don't Like a Woman's Holiday
Dorothy Die
It's Better To Separate While And Have Something
 To Talk About When You Come Back

Everybody in the world should have vacation at least once a year. It makes for health and happiness, for better work and greater con tentment with ones lot in life, for most of us will agree that the two highest moments of enjoyment of any holiday are the going away from home and the getting back home.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-13

There are two good reasons for this. One Is because it Is very sell dom that a man and woman really want to do the same thing. Because most women lead quiet, shut-in, home lives the average woman's idea of a perfect vacation Is to go to a place where she will have to change her dress three or four times a day, and where there will be plenty of danc- ing and gayety. Not one woman in a thousand really likes to fish, or tramp, or rough 1t.
 On the other hand, most men re- >gard a fashionable summer resort as an earthly purgatory. Their dream of bliss is going where they can wear their oldest clothes, and for get to shave, and smoke their strong est pipe. They don't see the fun of understanding a .ailor's dummy and herding with a lot of other mannl- kins, all as bored as themselves.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-13

What form of vacation you should take depends altogether upon the in . dividual need. Generally speaking it should take the form of doing something that is the direct opposite of our daily duties. The city man should go to the country, and the country man to the city.
 That provides both with change and gives them something to think about during the balance of the year. The man who is shut up in the confines of an office does well to get Into the open and go as far from his treadmill as he can.
 The woman who is worn out with clubs and society should spend her vacation in the quietest spot she can find, but the busy housekeeper, whose mission in life Is to wrestle with the pots and pans and to think out thousand and fifty-three meals year for her family, will be made over by having two weeks at a good hotel where she will not have thing on her mind but her new perma nent wave, and have no idea of what she Is going to eat until 1t Is set before her.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-13

Also. generally speaking, 1t Is a good thing for husbands and wives to take their vacations separately.
