Sitting In the dark is not confined
altogether to the anorous. but is enjoyed
by most sensible persons in the Summer.
There is a charm to 1t not known at
any other time Of year.
It is a good country-town custom
which still fingers in the city.
Thousands of city people are small
town." although perhaps they do not
recognize themselves as such. They
keep tight hold on many OF the customs
of their ancestors.
Among them this practice OF watching
the night come on Is one OF the most
pleasant, being as it is partly thing
of the present and partly thing OF the
past No person who comes to the city
from less populous place can forget his
past; he does not want to, but is glad
to keep FURNISHED his memories, sure in
their possession, rejoicing that he does
not forget.
A certain physical quietude. and a
mind at ease, are among the necessary
concomitants for successful sitting In
the dark.
1t is here as with sleep, it Is impos-
sible to be happy at it unless the mind
Is Tree ITOHl QdTh CdIc dIiu I1io DONy
perfectly comfortable.
Granted these precious assets, even the
poorest person can get pleasure out OF
sitting in the dark after a good supper.
The latter is preferably small these hot
days and nights.
Darkness costs nothing.
1t is rather the reverse which runs up
the bill.
Let there be light, of course. but re-
member the darkness is free.

Darkness in Summer is just bit
cooler, too, as most persons have dis
covered. Not only is the heat of the
electric bulb just so much heat that is
not wanted, but the sight of the light
is mentally perturbing. 1t gives an idea
of heat which is often more heating
than the thing itself.
Especially in the suburban areas 1t Is
the fashionable thing to keep lights out.
There the folks sit around, watching the
daylight die.
This is the drama that never grows old
to the seeing eye and understanding
heart.
There is here nothing of the sensa-
tional but simply the glorious everyday.

nests, but not all of humanity. 1t is
reserved for those who are willing to
take their time.

Impatience is vice of this age.
We are in such hurry to get nowhere
that We rush hither and yon at every op-
portunity.
The rushing temperament probably
sees nothing to sitting in the dark.
"Owlish." it says.
But owls have great deal of good in
them, after all And sitting in the dark
does not make one an owl. after all.
Dark sitting, for the plain purposes of
resting, and watching the gradual dis
appearance of the light, is something to
be commended especially to restless
souls.
1t will come easily enough to the
quiet minded, but as something of a
task at first to the impatient. all those
persons who believe without questioning
the modern juvenile idea of going
places and seeing things"
That this is habit which grows upon
one, like all habits. may be seen in any
suburban community these nights.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Beyond Tears.

Beyond Tears.
The child, joyous with every morn
awaking,
Is quick to cry when a new toy IS
broken
The grown child, with their life still In
the making,
Will shed hot tears If a harsh word Is
spoken.
Late comes the knowledge man can
reach SORROW
AS vigil with real woe the heart Is
keeping
Stunned by the facing of each new to-
morrow
That life can hold grief too deep for
weeping.

STILL WORK TO
 KILL FLAG HONOR

Boston, May 2 -- (UP) Charles Francis Adams, former secretary of the navy, was one of a group ap- bearing before the house rules committee today to urge favorable action on a bill which would ex- empt conscientious child objectors from the Massachusetts flag salute law.
 Others advocating the bill, filed by Rep. Curtis (r) Boston, includ- ed stephen P. Cabot, Eliot Wads- worth, and Bernard J. Rothwell.
 Rep. Dorgan (d) Boston, author of the Massachusetts teachers oath law, favored an exemption in the case of the salute law. He pointed out that the country had exempted those having religious scruples from service in the World War.
 The law, which says teachers must lead pupils in the salute to the fias once weekly or be fined $5, has been under attack since a judge in Northampton sentenced three children to reform school for refusing to salute. The children, banned from school, have appealed the sentences. Their parents are members of Jehovah's Witnesses who hold the salute to be false worship.
