Army Flees From Fort Lee.

HACKENSACK, n j., November
20. 1776.-The loss of Fort Lee has
followed swiftly upon the loss Of Fort
Washington. Last night. 5000 British
troops marched up the east side by
Hudsons River and encamped near
Yonkers. This morning they crossed
the river about miles north Of Fort
Lee and by heroic efforts hauled their
artillery up the steep cliffs and to a
position within easy range of tho fort.
Gen. Washington was in Hacken-
sack striving to reorganize his forces,
and Gen. Greene. the commanding Of.
f1cer at the fort, learned Of the enemy
advance just In time to bring of this
garrison before Lord CORVALLIS. the
British commander, could order his
artillerymen to begin an attack.
There was thus no lighting and no
considerable loss Of prisoners on our
side, but there was q heavy loss OF
precious provisions and supplies.
The total losees at the two forts
amount to SO killed, 1929 taken pris-
oner, 146 pieces Of artillery, 10000
shot. 400 900 muSket cartridges, $500

There ia a time for polite subter-
fuge-that ts after.
The girl who mixes ;ler dates on
this business doesn't make herself
exactly popular with her friends, nor
does she show wisdom and tact.
We all want to get along smoothly
and pleasantly with our friends.
We like being well thought OF -
and yet we don't want to earn the
reputation Of being "yes girls"
We want to have enough personal
ity and character to have our opin-
ions and stick to them when neces-
sary.
Still, there's a time for suppressing
even the most decided opinions. as
I've said before.
Just suppose the best friend has
bought a new hat. She's paid $40
for it, too-a ridiculous sum for girl
in her position.
She's worried to death now that
she's bought 1t for fear 1t isn't the
shining success she'd hoped for.
So she asks your approval Of 1t
anxiously. 1t means a lot to her
spending $40 for hat which may not
be a good buy after all.
This Is the time for polite subter-
fuge-after she's bought the hat.

ing her you don't like it. That won't
do her any good now. Even II YOU
think personally that it's wise and

truth.
For she must wear it. She can't
throw away $40 on nothing.
What cha mazda In little moral
courage to get away with it. And
that's what you must give her.
You must pat her on the back and
hand her all the encouragement she
needs. Never mind il 1t goes against
your grain to admire the particular
sort of abomination she picked out.
BE unsefish enough to help her out.
However. II before she has. made
the fatal purchase your option is
asked, don't hesitate to give It. no

unkind criticism.
No matter how proud she may be

time to avert catastrophe.
Always tell the honest truth while
it will do any good. Avoid being
brutally frank when it benefits no
one.
IF you're asked to pass on the boy

the investment, give him your candid
opinion, even though he's annoyed
at It.
But If. when he's proudly showing
