TREAT ALL ALIKE. : A’ vandals who deface the parks are some who ride in 5 ¢ ae. S “- motor cars. Offenders of this class rarely suffer the conse- quences of their disregard for the city’s property. In a letter to Chief Magistrate McAdoo Park Commissioner Ward calls attention to a case in which an automobilist driving reck® " dessly on Riverside Drive ran into a young tree in a grass plot near ne Hundred and Forty-eighth street and broke it down, The _ Magistrate before whom the motorist was arraigned discharged him. “The spirit of vandalism which fails to respect city prop- erty,” writes Mr, Ward, “has increased in a notable way in the Inst few years. I am making great efforts to obtain from the police active co-operation to stop the destruction of. park prop- erty which bas so long gone unrestrained. \ “Unless their arrests can be supported in the courts my efforts are, to a very large extent, nullified.” The man who beats the bushes with his cafe, throws his news- paper on the ground or digs his heel into the turf doesn’t always wear thabby clothes or look like a loafer. The Magistrates know this as well as the police and everybody else. Surely efforts to discourage @estroyers of park property are not helped by winking at a type of offender who is really least excusable. et Clean-up week began this morning. - Straight trom The Shouider Success Telke to Young len.

T alrfost seems sometimes as if one's clothes grew a crop of spots over | night. Start out any bright morning feeling cheerful and happy, get out into the glare of the sun and look down at the dark cloth skirt you have been wearing all winter, and the chances are you will see several un- welcome dark or rusty looking blotches situated where they show the worst. Perhaps you rub at them surrepti- tlously with your handkerchief, which does no good, and the first them with soap and water, takes them away for a while, but just as soon as the cloth gets thor- | oughly dry out they come again until you begin to feel like the leopard that can't change his spots. But you CAN, and very easily, too, | if you go about it the right way. Old dried dust stains are perhaps the most common and they seem to be the hardest to erase, But they can be made to disappear entirely if they are brushed over with a very ttle yolk of egg mixed with alcohol, which should be allowed to dry on and thon scraped off. Any of the that adheres can be removed with a clean linen rag and warm wat This preparation can even be used on dark slike, Grease spots can be et taken out of silks and woollens with @ little cologne or pure alcohol, g CLEANING A’Coast '] If you have an everyday cloth coat that looks dingy down the front or underneath the sleeves you can improve it greatly by giving it a partial bath with naphtha soap and water. Get a piece of the same cloth, or if this is impossible, any woollen material of the same color, dip it in hot water, rub it on the soap and rub gently over the stained portion of the coat. Rinse the cloth out in fresh water and apply to the surface of the coat several times. When tho coat is clean, cover with @ piece of thin muslin and press with a hot tron. Then brush with a clothes brush while the steam is rising to raise the nap. This treatment ta also excellent for men’s clothes. Coffee stains are rather difficult to remove and they are sure to fall on silk, they can be erased by moistening the spot with a compound made of half a spoonful of glycgrine, four spoonfuls of water and one quarter of a spoonful of ammonia, “Allow this to remain on the spot for twelve hours, moistening it occasionally with the mixture. Then press the stained places through a cloth and if the fabric ia silk or woollen rub the surface with a clean rag. Before using this on colored material try it first on some part 80, leave out the ammonia, If after pressing the stain is not all gone rub- bing with a piece of dry bread will erase it.

FEARKEN, My Daughter, unto the Parable of the wise and aimpte youths of Babylon. For, of woers, there are but two varieties: the Quick ané the H Deadly. Lo, in Thirty-seventh Street, there dwelt two bachelors; asd ene of them was called “Lemon,” and the other, “Wiseboy.” Now, it came to pass that they both met a damsel of great beauty and intelligence, who had jit returned from college. And her name was “Highbrow.” Wor she had written « thesis Thereupon, straightway, Lemon hastened to call upon the damsel. Yea, with books and burnt offerings of poetry he sought her door, And, when the damsel sate herself beneath the piano lamp, he remained afar off, and sang her praises, saying: | “Lo, how I love to LISTEN, when thou talkest! For thou art full of wisdom; and thy knowledge of the Greek roots is astonishing. Hew scintillating is thy wit, and thy brain, how wonderful! Yea, thou casst not believe how deeply I revere the beauties of thy MIND! And the damsel smiled wanly, and yawned behind her hand. But when Lemon had departed, she instructed her handmaidéa, saying: “When ‘THAT’ calleth again, I am ‘not at hom ” Now, it came to pass that upon the second night Wiseboy sought her house, bringing candied fruits and fresh violets, and a rag-time ditty. And when the maiden sought to sit beneath the piano lamp, he led her toward the with a firm but gentle hand and sate down close beside her, saying: “Lo, how I love to WATCH thee talk; for thou hast a distracting DIMPLE in thy left cheek.” And she said: “Have 17" (Which {fs to say, And Wiseboy proceeded, “Yea, verily; and IMkewise, the curve of thy lips is exceeding kissable. Lo, thine elbows are the prettiest in all Babylon; and the way thy hair curleth at the back of thy neck 18 fetching!” And, thereupon, he held her hand and pressed it. And, in October, they were married. ‘Then, the gossips marvelled among themeelves, saying: “WHAT did she sce in HIM? For he hath neither brains, nor beauty, ‘nor money, nor wit.” But the damsel was PERFECTLY HAPPY. “Honeylumps,” and talked to her in baby-talk.
