It has been for aificult recently Important part of thedressmakers to set the fashion for overelaborate sleeves. No matter how charming, women will not take up the fashion if they impede perfect arm motion. - The well dressed woman of today whose opinion really counts in the success or failure of a new fash- ion is a busy sort of person. Fashlon is no longer set by an indolent, leis- ured class of women. The smartly dressed woman of today works at a desk or drives a car. Even if she spends her afternoons playing bridge, she does it in no idling fashion. She will not tolerate a sleeve that scatters the cards when she takes a trick or trails fn the bonbon dish. > She is no longer a person of leisure, save during.the few short hours of the day or night whem she wears a neglige. Then she concen- trates on indolence and idleness, and it is then that she can indulge what- ever fancy she has for picturesque fashions, no matter how impractical they may be. In fact, some of jthe mew negliges even have long skirts—ekirts that train. For prac- tical purposes she likes nothing bet ter than the short skirt, but for her neglige she is nothing loath to go back to the old-time feminine fashion of tralling skirts. (Copyright. 1926.)

NEW YORK, September 8, 1776.—In one of the longest military reports he has ever written, Gen. Washington has frankly informed Congress today that New York cannot be held in- definitely against the enemy, and that “nothing seems to remain but to de- termine the time of their taking pos- scssion.” The general reached his conclusion several days ago. Yesterday he sum- moned his general officers to a war eouncil to consider the abandonment of the cit After a long discussion, with man: rguments for and against & withdra , the decision was to re- 000 men in the city to preserve order and direct the remoyal of stores, and to withdraw the remainder to Harlem Heights and King's Bridge. This half-way measure was somogghat of a compromise. Although Congre: has not sent ¢ understandin to hold the city. But all the practical considerations led to a vote of the generals in favor of this beginning of a withdrawal which, as the geperal gays, must soon be completed. Aside from his report on the im- mediate situation, the general laid down a highly important statement of the strategy which he expects to fol- BEDTIME STORIES He Stands on His Head.

Graywing the Gull had just said that they were growing there. Reddy had seen those things many, many times. He had seen them every time he passed by the rocks; but he had always supposed they were a part of the rocks. It hadn't entered his head that they were OVER TO THE NEAREST ROCI AND LOOKED LONG AND HARD AT THOSE BARNACLES. So it was that when that the Barnacles wepe growing on the rocks, Reddy really didn't understand. “I don’t see anything growing,” said he. Graywing chuckled. “Perhaps you don't see them actually growing. sadd he, “but nevertheless those white ‘ anything else Graywing said things you skinned your nose on just | now are alive and growing.” Reddy actually forgot his sore nose. He walked over to the nearest rock and looked long and hard at those Barnacles. They were crowded together very closely, but he saw right away that they were of different gizes, and he saw too, that they were of shell. Graywing saw the puzzled look on Reddy's face. “I ‘@on't support,” said Graywing, #that you ever -have: finite instructions, the ! here is that it wishes| A. RAWSON, Jr. low throughout the war. It will have to be a defensive war on our side, he says, becayse of the vastly superior force of the enemy. His words on this point are: “On our side the war should be de- ferisive; it has even been called a war of posts; we should on all occasions avold a general action, and never be drawn into a necessity to put any- thing to risk. Persuaded that it would be presumptuous to draw out our young troops into open ground against their superiors both in num- ber and discipline, I have never spared the spade and pickaxe. I have not found that readiness to defend even strong posts at all hazards which is necessary to derive the greatest benefit from them. “Weare now in a post acknowledged by every man of judgment to be un- tenable. A retreating army is encir- cled with difficulties; declining an en- gagement subjects a general to re- proach, and may_ throw discourage- ment over the minds of many: but, when the fate of America may be at stake on the issue, we should protract the war, if possible. The removal of the stores to Har- lem Helghts has already begun, and the sick and wounded are being es- corted to Jersey towns remote from the coast. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS ‘here is a living creature inside each one of those queer little shells.” aid Reddy, “I never have. ome over here” replied Gray- wing, flying to the edge of a little pool. Reddy followed. “Now,” said Gray- wing, “you look at some of those Bar- nacles on that rock under water. Watch and see what happens.” Reddy did as he was told to do. Presently, he discovered that the top of one of those Barnacles was open. | While he was looking at it, what ap- peared to be feathery little legs were thrust out from it and began to mov about in the water. “My goodness! exclaimed Reddy. Graywing chuckled. He was getting lots of chuckles at Reddy's expense these days. “Now you've learned something, haven't you?” said he. “I certainly have,” replied Reddy. “What are those funny legs waving about in the water for?” “That's the way that fellow gets his food,” replied Graywing. “That Bar- nacle lives on feod which we cannot see, and those waving legs there make little currents of water which carry the fgod into the mouth of the Bar- nacle.” “Do you mean to say that the thing inside that shell has a mouth?” de- manded Reddy. “Of course. Why not?” retorted Graywing, chuckling again. “Why shouldn’t it have a mouth as well as those feathery legs?” “Well, what I want to know is,” said Reddy, “how he got fastened to that rock in the first place.” “Oh,” replied Graywing, “when he was a very tiny fellow just out of the |egg, he didn't look anything like a { Barnacle, and he swam around. But by and by after some changes he de- cided to settle down in life. So he butted his head against that rock and | stuck there.

Tt would be advisable to degote your attention only to duties of a cus- tomary and an obligatory nature,and not yield to the temptation to seek “fresh ficlds and pastures new.” There will be, from time to time during the day. a desire to say or do things hasti- and there will he sensed. at all times, an air of impetuosity. In order to counteract this, poise must be es- tablished. otherwise the day will only end unhappily. Children born tomorrow are destined, during infancy, to experience numer- ous ailments. They will, however, be of a mild variety, and yield readily to ordinary methods of treatment. In their teens they will develop satisfac torily, but are liable to outgrow their | strength or become anemic, and, in | such cases, skilled 1dvice will be need- ed in order to overcome these difficul- ties and enable them to.attain vigorous maturity. Their dispositions will be difficult in early years, and they will not be easy to' manage. It is probable that discipline will have greater effect on_ these children's characters than either persuasion or kindness. They will show great love for and display great skill in all outdoor sports. and will be prone to neglect their studies in order to follow these pursuits.

(Coyright. 1026.) HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. ing pa The Rubber Ball. Down in the dense fastness of the Amazon abound insects so destruc- tive to the life of the flora that but Zor the kindly provisions of nature the forests would long since have been leveled by them. But through one species of bug destroying another, or by over provisions made by Mother Nature, her children of the flora find themselves pretty well protected. A dangerous and deadly enemy to tree life, however, is the wood-boring beetle, which, as its name implies, digs into the heart of the trunk and robs the tree of its life-giving sap. And the natives of the jungle, when they see a tree so injured, know that it will flourish ho longer. One day, a little over 500 vears ago, a Brazilian Indian noticed near his hut a tree doomed by a large hole that had been bored into its trunk. Great was his surprise to find some time later not only that the tree was flourishing as beforg, but that the sap, a milky juice, had coagulated and formed-a solid gummy mass where the opening had been. Cutting off a chunk, he found it malible and well adapted to be used for many of the games which the natives played. Thus it was that Columbus, land- ing on the coast of Brazil on his sec- ond voyage to our hemisphere, found the Indians playing ball on the shore. Indeed, one of the discoveries of the expedition noted by Herrera was a “ball used by the Indians made from the gum of a tree,” which was lighter and bounced better than the balls known at the time. The Indians soon found that the white man was glad to trade trinkets for “biscuits” of the sap. And so started the rubber industry. (Covyright. 1926.) “Puzzlicks” 'uzzle-Limericks.

There are too many divorces now. But that does not prove that there now. It merely shows that people There was no open door out of ‘here were too many martyrs then. But human nature has not changed. Men and women are no worse now than they were in our grandparents’ time, and the reason that divorce is more common than it used to be is, first, that we look at it from a different point of view. We no longer regard it as a disgrace. but as a misfortune. And, secondly, because the economic independence of woman has broken the fetters that bound her to a fate often worse than death itself, and that made her the helpless victim of the passions of a brute if she happened to marry one. The terrible thing about divorce is not the actual separation of a man and woman who find their marriage a failure, but the misery that goes before it. The broken dreams. The cruel disappointments. The tears. The long, dark broodings over wrongs. The quarrels. The speeches that stab liKe dag: gers. All the insidious bitterness that can well up from a wounded heart and poison a life. “ 1 think that parents are largely to blame—really more to blame than the young people themselv for their children not being able to get along with the wives and husbands they marry.

She knows that the man who nd and considerate and gener- ou ho takes the trouble to show his wife little attentions: who pavs her compliments and makes her nice speeches, and who does something actively to make her happy, causes the cup of bl of the woman to whom he is n ried to run over. But you never hear of a mother impressing these facts on her sons. or teaching them that they must make a fair divide of their money with their wives, or implanting in their consciousness a sense of their responsibility to- ward_the girls they marry. Every mother knows from her own experience how much forbearance, how much self-control. how much tact and diplomacy. what wisdom and subtlety it takes to get along with a husband; what sacrifices motherhood and wifehood involve, but you never hear of a mother teaching her daughters any of the requirements of matrimony. : tic children who have had their selfish- ness cultivated to the nth power marry other pampered, spoiled, egotistic chil dren who have had their selfishness cultivated to the nth pow: And when these two undisciplined, strong-willed young creatures come in conflict there is no wonder that there is the sound of rending and breaking of marriage bonds and the crash of homes. Instead, pampered, spoiled, egot The only way to stop divorce is to rear the kind of men and women who have a sense of responsibility; who are unselfish and just and fair-minded, and who have learned to control their tempers and their tongues.

She says she never seems to hear much about the bright side of life. She’s a nice, happy, cheerful person herself, she assures me, but all her friends seem to be the gloomiest people in the world. That is, they relapse into gloom and tears when they're with her, and she seems to inspire every one with the desire to confide the most sorrow- ful secrets. Other girls laugh and chat happily with the boys they know—Sue sees them all giggling together. Just the other day she had a strik- ing example of the difference between the way she's treated and the way other girls are entertained. Bob was talking to Esther and she wanted to know how his job was go- ing on. “Oh, great,” he told her blithely. *“Got a funny crowd down at the office, too.” He proceeded to launch into a spirited account of an amusing incident that had taken place only the other day. But later Sue was talking to him alone. “Glad your job is eoming on all right,” she told him. “Oh, gosh, Sue,'I wish it was sighed disconsolately. “Everything's terrible.” “But you just told ther a few minutes ago that it was great,” she exclaimed in some surprise. “Yeah,” he agreed unenthusiastical- s her's different. You can't exactly confide in her. he cuts you short ‘it you tell her vour troubles. You seem to be so different, Sue. You sympathize with everybody he felt flattered then, but when a few days later Bob announced his en- gagement to Iisther, she wondered whether sympathy was as efficacious a4 method af getting a man as it might be. Sue’'s mistake is that she is too smypathetic—too willing to listen to other people’s troubles. . As they pour out their sufferings her eyes grow wide with understand- ing of sorrow—and those who are conifiding ia her expand visibly. They can always go to Sue. She’ll pat them on the head and feel sorry for them. Consequently they get in the habit of telling her the worst side of ever: thing—just to indulge their self-pity Bob didn't dare go to Esther with his complaint about the new job. Esther hates continual whiners. She wouldn't have poured out too much sympathy. Bob has got in the habit of telling Esther as much good news as pos- sible. And he and all his friends go to Sue for soothing sympathy—con fident that she won't despise them for their giving in to self pity. Sympathy is a beautiful thing. But too much ready sympathy may turn a man from a self-reliant fellow into a whining baby, crawling to vou for comfort, asking to be petted for every setback he meets. Make people stand on their own feet. Don't be too quick to assure them that you feel sorry for them. ‘Whiners " shouldn’t be encouraged. Constant complaints shouldn't be listened to.
