To Sublet or Not to Sublet.

!, To. sublet or not to sublet, that is
the burning question in hundeds of
households. With the family packing
of to the country or to far parts, it
seems waste to many to leave their
homes unoccupied. On the other hand,
reason some, it may be cheaper than
to sublet to persons who may damage
ones belongings.
The tendency today, however, Is to
Sublet. Often ones belongings are
better off in the care of a responsible
tenant than they are in an untenanted
house subject to marauders, fires that
escape discovery until they have become
unmanageable, and the dirt and dust
of disuse.
1t is as important, however, to lease
to responsible parties as it is to get
ones price. The responsibility of any
person is not dependent only on moral
character, reputation, or facts to which
references attest. 1t is dependent fun
damentally on the material resources of
the person. In other words, to what
extent he or she would be responsible
personally for losses or damages.

Of a play Which city newsboy witnessed,
Of the drama to his friend.
Two small boys stood gazing admir-
ingly at the colored posters on the
boards of theater.
The larger boy was overdreSsed in a
mans overcoat, of which he had rolled
up the two long sleeves. The coat, open
In front, revealed great deal of rather
dirty cotton shirt. His grimy hands
were-thrust deep into his trousers pock-
cts. His heavy cap visor, loose except
ct the ends, rested on his nose.
The smaller boy wore jacket and
trousers much too small, even for him.
He had on a black felt hat, shaped like
q sugar loaf. His eyes grew round with
wonder as his older friend told him the
story of the play which was depicted IN
the colored posters on the boards.
This duffer," said the boy. taking
one hand from its pocket and pointing
to the picture of genteel man with a
heavy black mustache, lis the vill'n.
It begins with him comm on the stage

Eyetalian.
Five thousand dollars says the
vill'n, an they makes the bargain. The

the latter.
"Heilo, Sap" was the hostess affable
"See' they know me-" said the
Gothamite proudly. "All the worth
while people in the world patronize this
place. Over there, you see that fellow
with the dark hair. He was star wit

table near the pillar is one our best
giglios. He dances with stout, elderly
ladies for a fee. The doorkeeper of
the place was once prize fighter. He
knows more prominent people by sight
than any one ever saw"
The headwaiter approached. "How
do you do he said to the New Yorker,
calling him by name. Your friend is
stranger here, I presume? The show
will go on"
The drum ratified, spotlight flooded
the floor and a smooth young chap
danced nimbly to the center. well,
folks" he shouted, Il just heard a
funny one on the Main Stem tonight"
and he spun yarn that Nero told the
boys one night after a fiddling bee.
Now, folks, we are going to introduce
to you two little girls who are trying
to get along. Helen of Troy, N. Y, and
Cleopatra from Niles, Mich. We
wouldn't fool you. They are not sisters,
and only met each other for the first
time last week. Give 'em hand"
Two painted little creatures dashed
out to the Introductory notes of the
orchestra. The brass instruments were
silent as the remainder of the band
boys began, softly, THE Humoresque T"
Four light, twinkling feet battered
rythmically on the floor. The music
speeded up and Helen and Cleopatra
finished in red-hot fashion. The Gus
toners applauded, but one of the girls
gave little farewell kick with her heel
and ran off.
Then the announcer rushed out.
Next you will hear a boy from the
South. He learned his songs at the
feet of his old colored nanny. Give
the guy hand" Everybody obeyed.
He said the boy was from the
South" whispered the man from Wash
ington. South of where? And if he
is a boy I'm still playing with rattles.

Medieval Wedding Dresses
Always Effective
BY FLORENCE La GANKE.

When Lucille Rogers was married she
chose to dress her attendants in medic
val costumes. For herself she chose a
heavy satin in deep, deep ivory. The
tulle veil matched it in shade. The
dress was made with long bodice, plain
and tight fitting. The skirt had long
train, which hung in two panels. Her
attendants wore dresses with ivory
transparent velvet bodices and skirts
of georgette. The georgette was in

three fiat tiers, the first being a light
shade, the second darker and the third
deepest of all. One maid had three
shades of roses, another of yellow, an
other of green and the last Of lavender.
The bodice was cut low in the back,
and depending from the bodice was a
large, soft, two-looped bow with ends
which formed short trains.
The flower girls wore quaint dresses
of washable, fine wolfe. The dresses
were short-waisted and puff -sleeved.
The three-tiered skirts were of pale

had dress with deep Bertha collar,
which was caught up on one shoulder
with grosgrain ribbon. Both of these
children were pictures. Their mothers
had had sense enough not to curl the
hair. 1t fell loosely and naturally, and
did not have the frizZy look that hair
so often has.
Usually children should wear simple

when they are dressed picturesquely, SO
that they belong in the pageant Of the

There Is another well known American
woman geologist, DR.. Florence Vascom,
who has Just retired as professor of
geology at Bryn Mawr. Mrs. Hoover,
before becoming the mistress of the
White House. delivered in New York a
semi-scientiflc address about a year ago
as president of the National Women'S
Auxiliary of the American Institute Of
Mining Engineers. But last weeks
speech to the Geological Survey veter-
ans is believed to be the first public
address by First Lady in the annals
OF the presidency
The United States Geological Survey
came into being March 81, 1879, with
the appointment of its first director.
the late Clarence King, in the admin
istration of President Hayes. King was
a bosom friend Of John Hay and Henry
Adams in Washington. Thirty-five
years ago Herbert Hoover was MEM
Der Of the Geological Surveys working
staff, as a field assistant in geologic
mapping In the Sierra Nevada between
college terms at Stanford. During its
half century of activity, the survey has
gineers and scientists, who are now at
work In all parts of the world. For the
fiscal year 1880 Congress appropriated
100000 for the survey.
For the fiscal year 1890, 100000
has been appropriated. During its life,
the survey has spent about SIS, 600, 900.
The present director Is DR.. George Otis
Smith, who has been at the surveys
head for % years.
Secretary Wilbur Speaks.
DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of
the Interior. delivered an eloquent
panegyric on the Geological Survey
during the recent golden jubilee festiw-
tiles. 1T is privilege" he said, for
me to congratulate the men here who
represent in person the great services
rendered to our country through this
particular activity. In them we see the

upon the future of our people. But
this assurance can only be secured by
an understanding on the part of the
citizens of our democracy of the true
place of science. Majority votes may
determine political activities, but they
can in no way influence the laws Of
nature or those of science. A wise
democracy will harmonic its program
with them. The scholar and the re-
search worker must have the freest
initiative to pursue truth, no matter
where 1t may lead, II we are to avoid
