didness and vulgarity and the brutal
side of war than anything else that
has even been written. l do not
think I had ever heard as much pro-
family and obscenity on the stage,
yet there was gripping reality
about it which made one understand
that it was true even while one was
shocked.
The contrast between the old
world sentimentality, if you will,
and the crude rawness of the new
world callousness. was startling.
Two or three times during the eve-
ming looked at Melville Sartoris.
Finally said to him:
81 wonder why you brought US
here?'
II wanted you to see the truth of
mans nature" he said.
"And wasn't the other--the love of
the beautiful and the poetical and
the mystic-a part of mans ma
ture ?"
"Of course" he remarked. "That
is exactly what wanted you to get;
and indeed. you got it quicker than
l expected you would"
"Oh." I said to him softly, II knew
it before I came tonight. There is
in mans nature the good, the true
and the beautiful; and right along
beside it are vices and lies and ugli-
ness; cruelty encroaches upon char
ity, love upon hate"
"Until, my dear Mrs. Prescott, we
understand that humanity is most
homogeneous mass" he finished.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
ny OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

When Nancy and Nick left the
house of Mrs. Sea-Cow. they again
started to look for the Fairy Queens
lost honey-bees.
They looked up and down the
lanes, behind all the trees, in every
bush, and under the stones. But no
sign of bees or beehive could they
see.
1T doesn't happen to be me you
are looking for, does it," asked a
funny looking creature that was
waddling along the road.
"Not unless you're honey-bee,"
said Nancy in surprise. "And you
certainly don't look like one"
mo. I don't look it and I'm not it,
said the singular creature. "Three
guesses and I'll tell you what my
name is"
But the Twins couldn't even guess
once.
"I'm a porcupineapple." said their
new acquaintance. II used to be a
porcupine. But ate so many apples
turned into porcupineapple.
What are you doing in the Land of
Wonders ?" The Twins told him about
the Pixies and how they had run off
with the Fairy Queens honey bees.
and how they had unlocked the door
of the secret cupboard only to find
themselves, not in cupboard at all,
but in this strange place.
ooh. no, no." laughed the porcu-
pineapple. "This isn't strange
place. It's just because you are not
used to it. If you like I'll take you
around in my snail-boat and I'll ex-
plain to your entire satisfaction that
it is you who are queer"
what kind of boat did you
say?" asked Nick.
II said snail-boat," said the por-
cupineapple.
Don't you mean a sail-boat -
asked Nancy.
Nothing of the Sort" said the
other. Here it is now. Get in, my
dears."
Down the stream came floating 9
large snail she'll with snail's horns
sticking up for masts. Between the
two horns hung sail.
Get in" said the porcupineapple
to the Twins.

ON HEALTH--
USE MODERATION, ALWAYS

The secret of long life, enjoyed
by ones self and valued by ones
friends, is moderation, temperance
and contentment.
BY this is meant moderation in
contrast to the nervous life that
never takes time to live; temperance
in contrast to feasting, drinking,
and sacrifice of sleep for the so
called social pleasures, and content
ment in contrast to pessimistic
philosophy that sees nothing but
evil in life. X

COLD SNAP DUE
To STAY

Residents of the District on retir-

The lowest temperature tonight will

caster.
The cold snap which has been
biting the noses of Washingtonians
for the past three days is due to
remain with us until Monday night.
The chilly northwest wind also will
continue to whisk around the cor

According to the Weather Bureau
no snow will fall during the early
part Of next week. 1t will be cloudy
tonight and tomorrow.
The cause of tile prevailing cold
spell, it is said, are the winds
which accompanied and followed a
storm which came from the Cana

swept across the northernly United
States. The storm now is disap-
