Liberty's Light Shines,

NEW YORK, April ?, 1776-A fire
OF liberty enlightens the world from
Bedloe'S Island this evening. Gov
ernour Tryon had begun to throw up
a work on this island in the harbour
in order to establish there a safe
asylum for Tory refugees. General
cath of the Continental Army de-
termined, as he expressed it, TO drive
Tryon from every part of terra f1rma.
Tyron's people, operating from the
British ship Asia. were intrenching
and fortifying throughout the day. In
the evening. Major De Hart of the
New Jersey battalion offered. with 200
men of that battalion. to dislodge them.
Upon arriving on Bedloe's Island they
found that all the men had retired to
the ship for the night, but near 40
women and children were in a small
building. The Jersey Boys fired all the
buildings, saving a cottage, in which
they left the distressed women and
children, causing a blaze which lighted
UP the harbour in every direction. and
which the ministerial minions in these
parts would do well to recognize as the
symbol of a beacon light of liberty
which will never be eXtinguished.
our men brought off all the in
trenching tools. a large number of
white shirts and greatcoatS, likewise
er abundance of poultry of all sorts.

CHAPTER XXXV.
Perry's Decision.

1t occurred to Perry that it might
be a good thing to appeal to Lucien
direct. He decided to go to Luclen :
office the very next day. Lucien Bart
lett had the reputation of being q
good sport and gentleman. No mat
ter how fond he was of Natalie, Perry
could not imagine that he would WISH
to hurt the girl. She was so young.
She needed to be protected from her
own folly. and even though Lucien
might resent outside interference, he
could not fail to cooperate.
But tomorrow was a long way off.
and in the nea ntime Natalie was with
Lucien. They were together some
where in the big city, and Perry had
no way of knowing where they were.
Natalies mood when she had left him
had been dangerous. too. She had
been defiant. she had actually lung
her information in his face
As the evening progressed he grew
more and more restless, more and
more desirous Of doing something, 1t
didn't matter what.
About $50 he thought suddenly OF
Martha. Why not go to see her ana
tell her everything? He hated the
idea Of doing this. because of the at
tention he had paid to her. He had no
idea how she would take il, but no
matter how she reacted he owed It
to her to explain everything. 1t was
the only honorable thing TO do. and
that it was diStaSteful to him made
no difference.
1t wasn't until he was in the eleVa-
tor on his way up to the DennIson
apartment that he realized something
that hadn't occurred to him before.
Usually he teleDhoned Martha first to
see if she would be at home. Tonight
he had neglected to do this, which
might make it embarrassing. Perry
was beginning to realize things that
he had never thought Of until lately.
He realized that he had never met
John Dennison and that in her hus-
bands eyes Martha's friendship with
another man might not be exactly
welcome Not that he cared particu-
larly what John DenrisOn thought.
ANY man who neglected his wife de-
served TO lose her. and DennisOn
might count himself lucky that the
affair had not passed the friendship
line.
But it was for Martha whom Perry
felt concern. He did not want to make
things uncomfortable for her. Well.
il was too late to think about that
now He would take chance on find
ing her in and without company. A
moment later he was pressing the
electric bell outside the Dennison
apartment.
A maid i'm white cap and apron
opened the door. Yes. Mrs. Dennison
was in She was in the living room.
Would Mr. Macdonald take a seat for
a moment while she told Mrs. Denni-
son he was here?
II seemed to Martha when the maid
informed her that Mr.. Macdonald had
called as if all the blood were drained
away from her heart, leaving her
breathless. For a moment she could

How High Is a Mountain?

his long legs, he replied, Long

mountain. similarly, is as high as it
looks. Near Denver there is a slight
rise in the ground called Mount Wash

height as New England's proudest
peak. little over 5000 feet. Few
mountains in Colorado are as high
from their base to their summit
as Mount Washington. If you
start at 5000 feet. a mountain
10000 feet high is really only
1000 feet high. Mount Washing

feet. Also a mountain is what you
please to call it. In Florida the high

great many generations in England
before they find one that came to that

the city of Urbino, in the province of
that name in Italy.
More Italian blood than is common
ly supposed went into the England of
the Middle Ages, some of it being
taken into that country by the Nor
mans and some coming direct from
Italy, for there was a period when
the commercial bonds between Eng.
land and Italy were very close
notably in the days of Venetian, Ge-
noese and Florentine ascendancy
| The Renaissance, which economically
was a period of industrial and COM
mercial prosperity, began in Italy. In
consequence, Italian workmen and
Italian merchandise bore high repu-
tation and were in great demand in
lands which had not yet made such
great progress.

Our Hats.

If you were able TO spend a day in
the millinery department of a store
you'd get a liberal education in the
art Of buying a hat. All types OF
women come in during the day, and
they ask every conceivable question.
As matter of fact you must ask
lot OF questions if you ever expect to
make a satisfactory purchase.
Some women know what they want
and they ask for it. They demand a
RibouX, Marie Guy or Rose Descat
model. It's because they have learned
that certain French designers offer
models which are becoming to them.
Other women ask for a certain style
of hat, such as Gage or Breton
sailor. or a turban. They either like
that model or they have worn it be-
fore and found it satisfactory.
Every woman wishes to buy hat
that will look becoming. 1t is COM
mon to hear such questions in mil
,linery department as: do | look
becoming in a sailor? Do you like
that side line on my face? Can | wear
this color? Must I have a hat that's
off my face?" It's Il wise woman who
knows which features in "A hat are
taboo for her.
Even in expensive hats women fire.
duently want TO Know Wnetner ma
terial will spot and how the trimming
will wear Some thoughtful women
ask whether the feathers will wear
well or whether they will have to be
covered. In buying straw hats, of
course, vital question arises about
xhe possibility OF cleaning and re-
blocking.
Fewer women than one imagineS
ask anything about the comfort the
hat will give to the wearer. They
forget that the most attractive hat
won't give satisfactory wear if it is
uncomfortable. Another point to con-
slider is the color. Those who intend
to use their hats for travel still fire.
ouently forget to ask whether the
color will fade or how it will stand
the dust The sensible woman asks
for a small hat for travelling because
it's easier to carry or fold a small
hat than a broad -brimmed one. Three
small hats won't occupy as much
space in luggage as one large one.
Very few women ask, or seem to
care, whether a hat is seasonable
Straw hats are worn in March and
felt hats in August. As a matter of

Electric Reduction.

You can reduce by diet alone, or If
YOU are very energetic by exercise
alone, or, more effectively, by a proper
combination of both. But sometimes
because of heart trouble or certain
S&idney troubles exercise is impossible.
In such cases, reduction by electric
manipulation of the muscles is to be
recommended. OF course. in connec-
ton with it diet must be changed and
most of the fat-making foods elimi-
mated.
A machine has been invented which
exercises the muscles automatically
and more speedily than any normal
human person could manage. all with
out disturbing the delicate organs of
the body. 1t consists of a large chair
with broad arms and rests for the
legs, with a set of curved plates at
tached that fit over the abdomen and
the chest The whole thing is con-
nected up with a large electric switch
board.
You lie comfortably at full length
in the chair and when the current is
turned on you felt a tingling through
out your body and a pleasant vibra-
ton of the muscles. If special reduc-
tion in any one part of the body is
desired, one of the metal plates is fit
Ted on and a special current turned
on here. The muscles are exercised
and the circulation stimulated. A
swift vibration is bound to reduce and
yet it is not physically exhausting, in
deed it is excellent for the entire sys-
tenn.
In the case of very fat persons
whose weight forbids them exercise
this electric manipulation is excellent
for start. 1t strengthens the flabby
muscles while it reduces. so that after
a time the patient, thinner and
stronger than he was, can begin to do
few ordinary physical exercises him
self. OF course, this treatment must
lie carried out with the proper diet
and under some kind of medical super
vision.

from white of egg is very potent and

the astringent stay on the skin for
at least 20 minutes. AS it dries, it

Bee or Blossom
By FLORENCE DAVIES.

Audubon, the American naturalist,
spent a lifetime making beautiful col
ored paintings of birds. One of his
! lovely plates shows a yellow-throated
vireo, perched on the branch of a
gorgeous clump of swamp SNOWFALL,
with head upturned and mouth wide
! open.
At first the picture looks as if the
| bird is looking rapturously at the
! bloom. But it is not. The greedy,
| eager-eyed, plump little creature is
| intent upon a bee just above it, fine
| titbit. 1t does not even see the burst
of lovely bloom. Presently the single
minded little glutton will make a
dive at the insect. and get it, and
then sing out its joy.
Such an attitude is all very we'll in
| Il yellow -throated vireo. But too
many persons have it.
| sometimes call such people Old
Mr. and Mrs. Grabbio. They are al
ways out to grab what they can get,
usually something which is just in
front of their eyes which looks good
to have. They are forever reaching.

ing the time to look and enjoy, or TO
consider what they already have.
Getting and spending we lose all
our powers" but still, like the greedy
bird. we go right on looking for the
little titbitS and small possessions
near at hand and never even see the
beauty just a little farther beyond.
This is a blind attitude to have.
vet two-thirds of all the people seem
to have it. getting and spending,
reaching, grabbing, seldom stopping
to look and to enjoy.
We grab the money for the mo-
ment, but seldom stop to make
friends for the future: snatch at the
material things of life, but are some
how blind to the beauty that is III the
hills a little farther away, or to the
slightly more remote joys of the
spirit. Greedy. yellowthroated vtreos,
we can't see the blossoms for the bee.

There was a time when most women
ook it for granted, with every new
1rUck that they acquired, that they
would have to have that frock made
over at least once, possibly two OF
three times Materials were excel
lent and fashions ever changing
moreover, women seemingly had more
time for such indoor sport and it
was easy enough to get a capable
GreSSmaker by the day at most rea-
sonable rates.
AS it is today some women ever
think of remaking their frocks for
the second season-save possibly to
have skirt shortened or heightened.
As one woman puts it: ''The frock
was cast in a certain mold. The
dreSsmaker or designer worked ii out
as a whole. not as a number of de-
tails. Once you start fussing with it
YOU alter certain lines and ruin the
effect. If 1t was attractive last year,
then it is better to wear it as it is
even if it isn't the last cry-than to
ruin the effect by making little
changes. Besides, a made-over frock
never fools any one. You can tell
that it has been done over as far as
you can see it"
On the other hand, you and your
associates often grow tired of a frock
