NEW YORK, October 16. 1776.-
New York is now Tory city. and is
proud of it, and is telling the rest of
the continent to follow its example
and be happy in the enjoyment of
his Britannia Majestys ''clemency
and paternal goodness" So, at least.
the Tories say. This has been their
coming out day. The British have
been in possession of New York just
a month, but not until today was the
scenery all set for the Tories to take
the center Of the stage and speak
their piece.
At 10 O'Clock the British civil Off
GERS and judges and the Tory citi
zens assembled at the City Hall,
where. according to the Tory news
paper, the New York Gazette. "a de-
cent and respectful address to Lord
Howe and Gen. Howe. the Kings
commissioners, for restoring peace
to America was read, representing
the firm attachment of the inhab-
itants to our rightful and gracious
sovereign, George the Third, and their
sense Of the constitutional suprem-
acy of Great Britain over these col
onies."
This address was adopted unani-
mously and everybody wanted to sign

Quarreling.

Lassie, the old mother dog, lay on
the grass with her four puppies
sprawling around her. At first they
played gayly, but by and by one ag-
gressive little pup took another by
the ear and held on. The other pup
tried to shake him off. good naturedly,
but there was no shaking off that
fellow once he got his teeth set. The
cheerful whines and grunts changed
to throaty growing and in a minute
there was a hard and hot puppy
fight on.
Mother Lassie flashed across the
grass, poked her nose into the little
mound of dogs, scratched them apart
with her paws and barked once,
sharply. The bold little one advanced
on his brother again and Lassie
bowled him over with one flip Of her
paw. Then she lay down between
them and kept them apart for the
next two hours. Long before that
time the two little brother dogs
wanted to rub noses again in friend
ship, but Lassie would not have It..
They must stay apart until lunch
time. Then they might again be
brothers in company.
Quarreling children must be sep
arated Just as Lassie separated her
pups. And the separation ought to
be long enough to make them know
that they need each other. Less will
do no good.
When older brothers and sisters
make the home impossible by their
constant pickering it indicates a lack
of home organization. If each knew
his place and his duties, If each felt
personally responsible for some part
of the home burden. the Quarreling
would lessen considerably If It would
not vanish. Fellow workers rarely
fall out.
When two children continually
squabble fix the responsibility for the
disturbance. Take that one aside and
emphatically say you will not have
this Quarreling in the home. II this
child cannot adjust himself to the
others. cannot do his share without
fighting about every little thing that
comes up. he must be separated from
the others. IF some of the adde's
cents who contribute 81 a week to
the family fund and cost the home
about $25 had to go out and support
themselves among strangers for q
while they would return to the home
circle better and wiser.
Little children squabble because
they know no better They should be
trained from childhood on to carry q
share of the family duties so that
they may learn what cooperation
and fine teamwork means. 1t Is the
selfish attitude of the extremely in
dividual child that makes the un-
happiness in the adolescent group.
Had the child been trained so that
he understood that he was entitled to
his individuality. but that it must be
the sort that lent something valuable
to that Of the others. the combination
would develop the spirit Of a happy

some things like stockings and NIT

She lunched at the Arlington, stepped

her train pulled out that she was not
nearly so tired as she expected.
"I can just tell Mabel for once

II guess I've made up for not doing
my share at the sewing bee."
Thus comfortably equipped mental
ly, she alighted from the train at
her home station. The train was late,
it was past 7, and the old cabby COM
planned that he had waited q long
time. Milly thought:
I'll just run up to the Carsons

Milly had intended to stay only a
few minutes at the Carson home. but
the children welcomed her so warmly
that she could not get away. They
were alone, their father had gone over
town to get supplies, and for at least
an hour Milly was a child with them.

Bon VOYAGE.

The big steamer moved slowly out.
Through blurred eyes Betty watched
it's big bulk slide out of the slip, a
floating hotel all ablaze with light.
With the others she ran along the
wharf in order to keep Jimmy in sight
as long as possible. And then, almost
incredibly soon, the liner was out in
the river skillfully maneuvered by
the painting little tugboats attached
to it.
She trained her eyes into the dark
ness. tears streaming down l&r
cheeks. She fiuttered her handkess, >,
chief long after Jimmy's figure lean
ing against the rail had become in
distinct. Then she turned back to the
others conscious Of the fact that she
had behaved very badly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arrowsmith had wait
ed for her, but the younger crowd had
gone on. She allowed herself to be
piloted listlessly out to q taxi while
Mrs. Arrowsmith said things that
were meant to be comforting.
ut won't be as bad as you think,
dear. Time flies, you know, and you
have your work to keep you busy.
September will be here before you
know it, just wait and see."
They insisted on taking her out to
supper at a gay Italian restaurant.
Betty didn't want to go. but she felt
it would be rude to refuse because
they were SO kind.
Once there, Mr.. Arrowsmith made
her dance with him. and teased her
little because he couldn't dance as
we'll as Jimmy.
But after they had dropped her at

I'm sorry for that poor kid. Jimmy
Is a nice fellow. but selfish. l wonder
If he realizes how tired she is look
ing?"
She doesn't look well. but then
put it down to the fact that she cried
so much. Seeing a steamer off takes
1t out of a person nervously and emo
tionally. I'm tired out myself"
''She looked tired before she began
to cry. jim told me she tainted the
night he told her he was going. That
isn't natural for a girl who Is in per

pretty strenuous life. He isn't salts

she looked as if she needed a change" :"
What did he say?"
Just laughed, and said something
about his pile first. Then he said:
Besides, she'll get more rest and keep
better hours with me out Of town. But
we've set the date definitely for the

Mrs. Arrowsmith was silent for a
moment. Then she said slowly: You
think he loves her. don't you?" ~
I'm his way, yes. He'll probably
never love any one else as much.

should lose her"
Lose her, why that girl adores
him. She does hero-worship at his
feet Have you ever seen her eyes
when she looks at him."
For all that. there's many a slip"
Nonsense. dear, no one could ever
make me believe that. unless, of
course, Jimmy fell in love with some
one else or something like that hap
pened. She loves him more than he
loves her."
THAT may be, and she loves him
blindly. Suppose the scales fall from
her eyes some day and she sees him
as he really Is. Understand, 1 don't
mean to criticize Jimmy. I like him,
and I trust him. but for all that I'm
not blind to his faults
In her own little apartment Betty
was getting ready for bed Her
thoughts were with Jimmy. She had
tucked a letter under his pillow, and
was wondering when he would find it.
In it she had told him again how
much he meant to her and how she
would miss him. A smile curved her
lips as she pictured him reading 1t.
AS a matter of fact, the steward
found the letter the next morning
and propped 1t up before the mirror
Jimmy found it there some time
later and read it somewhat shame
facedly. He dropped into bed the
night before without even both
ering to remove his clothes.

Ham and Green Pea Pie.

Mix two cupfuls Of chopped cooked
ham or three cupfuls Of diced ham
with one cupful of green peas, one
half teaspoonful Of onion juice, Wor-
cestershire sauce to season, and three
cupfuls of thin white sauce. Pour into
individual baking dishes and cover
with potato crust. Brush with milk
and bake for 20 minutes in a hot oven.
One-half cupful of sliced mushrooms
may be added if liked, or substituted
for the peas.
To make the potato crust: Mix and
sift one cupful Of flour, one-half
teaspoonful of salt and one and one
half teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
Rub in two tablespoonfuls Of fat with
fork, then cut in one cupful of cook
ed mashed potatoes, which must be
very smooth. Add one cupful of milk
to make a stiff dough, turn onto
houred board, and roll to one-fourth
of an inch thick. Place this over the

Clues to Character
Watohful Wrinkles.
BIZ ]. O. ABERNETHY.

Who hasn't observed the three deep
wrinkles between the eyes of cat?
And everybody knows its character
for watchfulness when in pursuit Of
prey. LAvater has remarked this
characteristic in the cat and has
styled it "watchful and rapacious."
Wrinkles about the eyes are found
above, below and at the outer corners.
Each has a distinct gaming. Those
which run parallel on the upper eye
lid appear late in life and proceed
from habits Of industry and patient
observation. These lines develop folds
of flesh as well as wrinkles. which In
those who are first-class observers fall
over the eyeball at its outer angle.
There are two causes for this ap-
pearance. In the first place. the bone
is one of the dominant systems and
the eyebone projects greatly beyond
the eyeball, and this Is the sign Of
ability to carry on protracted observa-
ton. Second, excessive use Of the
eye, such as in patient observation,
develops the skin and muscular tis-
sues about these parts. This appear
ance will be found in scientists, in
venters and others who carry out
minute and protracted observation
and study.

devoted to sacred purposes. But the
general operation of such funds is
highly commendable. The clergy need
have no fear of comparison with any
other group having charge of trust
funds.
Your comments remind me of the
remark made by Lord oxford when
he was accused, as a great LAWYER
of ignorance of business principles:
II have had to spend most Of my pro-
fessional life" said he lordship, 'in
getting business men out Of serious
trouble"
Buffalo, N. Y.
/ am a mother worried about my
children, because they do not have
playmates. When I suggest that they
play somewhere they usually answer:
I'VE haven't any one to play with"
My home is always open to them
and any friends of theirs, and / am
always ready to enter into all their
sports.
My daughter especially is exceeding
ly shy and doesn't seem to have
friends as other girls do. Have you
anything to suggest?
Answer-What about the neighbor-
hood? Some places are hard on sensi-
tive or we'll behaved youngsters be-
cause suitable companionship for them
is scarce. 1t would seem that your
children are willing to play if they
could find congenial playmates, and
they usually prefer these even to their
parents for that particular purpose.
Yet If no one else Is available, con-
tinue to play with them yourself and
ask your husband to take hand in
their games.
These are essential, or the best col
leges and schools Of the Nation would
not stress them as they do. Take
the teachers of your children into
your confidence and ask them to CO.
operate with you in the solution Of
the problem. This Is an aggressive
world and children who are not pre-
pared to meet 1t on it's own terms
begin life with a serious handicap.
Athletic sports Of the right kind are
just as necessary for your daughter
as for your sons. Indoor exercises
are necessarily limited, so that keep
ing your house open to the children 8
friends Is only a halfway measure.
Get them into the Fairgrounds where
they can cultivate the outgoing spirit.
Do not allow maternal anxiety to
defeat the plan. 1t Is far better for
these youngsters that they should
come home with dirty faces, torn
frocks, ragged pants and an occa-
sional black eye than that they should
grow up remote, unfriendly, melan-
choly, slow.

Does not much Of the mistrust and

ion arise from a doubt in the average
mans mind Of the practical sense and
business sagacity Of the average
churchman?
II Is a matter of common knowledge,
to those who have taken the trouble
TO investigate, that the business meth
ods and practical workings of many

ious propaganda are Woetully lack
ing in the exercise Of those element

solutely essential for any successful
undertaking.
WHY should this be so?

The Rockefeller Foundation Is by
all odds the most successful example

extant today and it is engineered by
churchmen. Surely after reading the
renorts of this institution or observ-
ing its procedure you wish to modify
your question.
Perhaps it refers by intention to
the clerical management of religious
societies and charities. In which case
7 see no reason for the widespread
mistrust you indicate. Fully so per

States for religious propaganda or
for relief organizations of various
kinds is collected and disbursed by

tend these agencies are not lacking
