Clergy Are to Talk
From Pulpits
On Thrift

Washington pastors have been
asked to give a place IN their
program tomorrow for dis
cussion of thrift. Some will
preach upon the subject; others
win talk about it in connection
with their announcements; still
others will place it in their
bulletins. In this way it is
expected that thousands Of
persons will hear the message
of thrift from the clergy of the
city.
The particular appeal which

with the necessity of sharing

useful life.
The support of churches,
Christian schools, missionary
and benevolent objects and other
philanthropies is included in this
ideal.

free from the box trap. You remem- Der that Farmer Browns Boy had taken Johnny up there because Johnny had been in mischief in the Old Orchard.
 Johnny forgot his bad temper. Yes sir he did so. Johnny forgot his bad temper because he was in torested. He wanted to know what the Old Pasture was like. He had dug himself house and he felt quite safe, although he was hungry and didn't know just which way to turn to get something to eat. But 10 learn that he was in the Old Pasture was rather exciting. He knew that Reddy Fox lived up here somewhere. He suspected that Old Man Coyote also lived here. He knew that sometimes in the berry season Buster Bear came to the Old Pasture. So he had a great curiosity 10 see the Old Pasture and become acquainted with it. Instead of kicking angrily at his pile of sand, as he had been doing, he sat up and sighed.

 For the first time in his life he spoke about his wife to me. He told me how impossible she was to live with. and yet she would not di- vorce him. She had told him frank ly that she would not care how many mistresses he had but she had determined that no other woman should take away the honor and fame that went with the name of Mrs. Tgcmaine.
 Everyone knows. Judy, that he was drifting when he met me, and I believed him, dear. when he said to me today that he had never in all his life met a woman who was rot always saving Gimme. that he had never met a woman who was ambitious for anything but luxury and leisure. He told me he had al ways been honest in all of his af- fairs. The women always knew what he was willing to pay and all most always she was the one that proposed if.
 Everyone knew that Lola Law renee ran after him until he prob ably took her to get rid of her.
 But with you Mamie,' he said, its different You have voice. you have disinterested ambition and you have a real code by which you live
 He told me that he had deter mined for once in his life to do an honest and honorable thing, but the world would not let him and that Lola Lawrence and her jealousy had spoiled the one decent thing that he had tried to do in all his life.

One of Alice'S Jokes!

For nearly onc-quarter Of cen tury Alice Roosevelt Longworth has been the most discussed woman of Washington, not even excluding First Ladies who have come and gone since the day when Princess Alice slid down the White House banisterS.
 Grave and learned senators, they say, will not deliver what they be 1ieve 10 be their real speech Of ths season unless Mrs. Longworth, her neat toque clutched in her hand, is laning over the senate gallery rail 10 hear them and tell them whether it was a good speech or not.
 We are reminded of Alice again Ly James Kcrney's new book called "The Political Education of Wood row Wilson" He writes-'I visited Wilson in his s street home. With considera ble glee he repeated cou- pie Of Alice Rooscvclt's best stories around town" And they say women have no power and influence today!

 "Til attend to everything" he said hurriedly. and report to you about noon. You surely won't sleep longer than that. Come along women"- this with pretended sternness to Lillian and me. Don't you know no better than to keep sleepy folks Up like this? Hain't you got no consciences 2"
 Are You Too Tired to WaIk?"
 He swept Us out of the house and across the Drive to southbound omnibus, keeping up an airy string of persifage the while which l think deceived Lillian as little as 1t did me. He was so absurdly embarrassed at taking his sisters money for her railroad fare that he could not settle himself to any ordinary converse ton.
 But his levity left him when we bade adieu to Lillian at the door Of her hotel.
 Are you too tired 10 walk over to our hotel?" he asked courteously but soberly as we turned away from the elevator which had carried her upstairs. Tt is a wonderful eve ming"
 I was entirely too fatigued for the half-mile walk involved, and if l had been sure that it was simply pleasure stroll he suggested I should have told him that I did not feel up 10 it. But with feminine fanciful- ness I conceived the idea that he wished to save taxi fare, and I would not have protested if my feet had been blistcred.
 T think I shall enjoy It." I said mendaciously. but when he had swung into step beside me I realized that it was neither the beauty of the evening nor the desire to save money which was the reason for bis desire 10 walk home.

Harriet Arranges 10 Return to
 Detroit With Mary

At Lillian's interruption to my protest against HarTiet's hurried re- turn journey to Detroit l caught my breath apprehensiyely. Knowing the unreasoning antagonism which they always had cherished toward each other, I feared my sister-in-law's active resentment against Lillian's air of authority, even If 1t did voice 90 championship of her own conten- ton.
 But evidently for time she was completely disarmed by the service Lillian had done Mary. She smiled in relieved fashion at my friend and turned back to Dicky and me.
 There's no use urging me-" she said. T simply must go tomorrow. Mrs. Underwood has given you my reasons better than I could"
 She's the champion reason giver of the country" Dicky grumbled, and I've learned to throw up my hands the second she enters any game. So though I'm desolated to see you go my dears"-he swept his sister and his niece elaborate bows II know better than to let out an- other yelp. 1T you1l tell me what time you want to 20, and the road, I'll get your reservations early in the morning"

We will also have the chance to sleep late tomorrow because of Mar garet's kindness in turning over the apartment and Katie to us. So get US the reservations which you think best"
 She opened her purse and took some bills from it, which she hand ed to Dicky. I saw him flush as he took them and stuffed them into his pocket with apparent non- chalance.

asked.
 I'm signing" said Johnny, and stopped to sigh right in the middle of what he was saying, because there is so much I want to see and l know no one up here to ask the way. I don't feel at all safe wan dering about, not knowing whom may meet around the next turn, or where there Is a hiding place should I need it. No, sir, l don't feel at all safe. Here l am up in the Old Pasture and I suppose I won't see it at all, because l have no one to show me about. If l should un- dertake to go about by myself l am afraid I would run my head right into the jaws of Old Man Coyote, or do something else equally bad. That's the worst of being in q place of which you know nothing"
 Old Mother West Wind looked thoughtful Then she opened her big bag and emptied out Of it her chil- dren-the Merry Little Freezes. "Play with Johnny Chuck" said she. while I go about my days work And If you can help Johnny, do it.'
 Then Old Mother West Wind started off about her days work. She had windmills to turn; she had rain clouds to blow where they were needed; she had ships to sail across the great ocean; she had many, many things to do, for Old Mother West Wind is a very busy person.
 The Merry Little Freezes had nothing to do, but play. So they danced about Johnny Chuck. They rumpled his hair and tickled his whiskers. And as they danced they sang softly:
 Tt helps to pass the time away
 To aid your neighbors by the way,
 Hop, skip, skip. hop,
 You'll never miss us til we stop"
 Then they all urged Johnny Chuck to take a walk and told him they would go with him. So some danced ahead and some stayed behind. Some did merry little whirls on each side of him. And whenever one found an interested little odor, he hurried right back with Il to Johnny Chuck. And so it was that Johnny's little black nose was kept busy every min- ute, and Johnny knew before he got there just what he would find around each turn and bend in the little path. The Merry Little Freezes were playing, but they were also helping Johnny Chuck; and they were happy, very happy, for there is nothing the Merry Little Freezes delight in more than in helping others.

"Wonlan's Dilemma"

There Is no reason why hot roasts and vegetables may not be prepared in large kitchens and sent into private homes as easily and ef- iiciently as ice cream now is" says Alice Baal Parsons in new volume called 'Woman's Dilemma" which sets forth the full cause of feminism as few books ever have. An hour a day is ample for keeping the small house or apartment in order. says she. And she questions with a loud firm voice that all domestic chores should go to the feminine half of the household only.

 Old Mother West Wind had just told Johnny Chuck that he was in the Old Pasture. Never had Johnny had a greater surprise. You see, the Old Pasture hadn't once entered Johnnys head. He never once had been up there to the Old Pasture, and although he knew much about it from what Peter Rabbit had told him, he hadn't recognized it when Farmer Browns Boy had set him
