The Jarr Family McCardell OCoprright,.1916, by the Pres Publishing Oo, (The New York Bening World.) PEER HIS thrilling serial of real lifo, “The Horrible Happening’ to @ Harlem Husband,” should be preceded at this point with @ synopsis. Very well, let's have it: Mr. Jarr, at Coney Island with his family and in charge of some of the neighbors’ children, loses the latter, In searching for the strays he falls into @ pile of co and blackens his face. He pecks through @ hole in @ canvas banner only to find be bas unwittingly substituted for the living negro target in a “Kill the Koon” conces- sion. Mr, Lefty Magee, a league baseball pitcher, ewate him with three ne fares “epeed mer- chant sti ” * Now go on with the picture: Mr. Jarr picked himself up, and black in the face with rage and coal dust, rushed around from behind the ban- ner—greeted with the merriment of the onlookers at this added free fea- ture, as unexpected as it was satiaty- i . “Pipe the nut!” exclaimed Mr. Lefty Mages. Mr, Jarr charged straight at the ro- leased baseball player and fallen star. But half a dozen admirers of the skiil of Mr, Magee interponed. It had been @ bad season at Coney Island, the game having been called constantly on ac- count of rain, So when the pollve saw & crowd anywhere they knew it must mean @ free fight. Mra Jarr, waiting patiently with Master Jarr and Uttle Emma for the return of Mr. Jarr with the straying Ranglo children and Master Slavinaky, hed ber cup of agitation filled to over- flowing by beholding Mr. Jarr the cen- tre of a dense throng of Joyous merry- makers, being led to the police sta- tion. His blackened face alarmed her, ‘Dut reassured by seeifg him remove @ portion of this impromptu minstrel makeup with his handkerchief, Mra. Jarr followed moaning, while the little Jarra screamed and shrieked—being wader the impression that father would ‘be went to Bing Bing, where he would have such @ vieasant time under the fostering care of Warden Osborne that he would never wish to return to home and family. Only one thought comforted Mrs. Jarr, This thought was that none in her social set beheld the humiliating spectacle of Mr. Jarr being made the occasion for a seaside holiday and being led away to captivity with a blackened face. ‘At the police station the presence of Gertrude, the Jarr's light running | domestio—who, it will be remembered, had arrived dishevelled at the seaside consequence-—did not surprise Mrs. Jarr, Nor did the fact that little Johnnie and Mary Rangle and Master Slavinsky had also been gathered in and were among those present. While yet charge and counter charge were being made by Mr. Jarr aad Lefty Magee before the desk sergeant Mra. Jarr had dully but firmly resolved in her mental consciousness: Firat, she would never do a favor for @ living soul again, Had she not done @ neighborly favor in bringing the Rangle children and Master Sia- vinsky no contretemps would have marred the day. Second, Mra. Jarr resolved that she would never again go holidaying under lke clroumstances. After this she would go by special train in a private oar, or in an eight cylinder—preferably @ twelve oylinder—limousine automo- bile, accompanied by @ trained nurse and a chauffeur and footman in liv- ery, She did not know how this gilt- edged manner of holidaying could The Jarrs’ Coney Island Outing ~ Ends by Request of the Police come about while Mr. Jarr’s salary was what it was—but she was resolved that never again would she or hers Participate in a “sanitary, anti-sun- bura, pure food” (carried in a basket) exoursion by trolley to a seaside resort. Then she wondered how heavily Mr. Jarr would be fined and ff there was privacy at a police station where a wife could fish out the wifely bank- roll to pay the fine. But these latter forebodings were groundless. Mr, Lefty Magee was so elated to find he had regained his lost speed and control that he was disposed to be magnanimous, “Let the poor gink go!” said Mr. Lefty Magee. “It was an accident!” On this basis everything was eet- tled, and Gertrude, being also included in the general amnesty, all was heppy sobbing and @ general pleasurable re- union. And the Jarre started home- ward, Mr. Jarr keeping @ swollen eye on Johnnieand Mary Rangle and Mas- ter Blavinsky, and Mra, Jerr watching her own little ones. As for Mr, Lefty Magee, he gallantly acoompanied them, aitting beside Ger- trude with his arm, his good left arm The Driven Husband. LD AESOP tells of a dispute between the Wind and the Sun as to which was the stronger. “Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Bun said: ‘I aee a way to decide our dispute Whichever of us can cause that traveller to take off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin.’ So the Sun retired behind a oloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller, Hut the harder he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap bis cloak around him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair, Then the Sun came out and shone tn all tte glory upon the traveller, who soon found it too hat to walk with his cloak on.” Once upon @ Ume there was a woman who had a good husband. He loved his wife and did everything he could to make her happy, He worked hard and was anxious to lay Up @ little money for arainy day. Of- ten he labored extra hours in order to purchase something that her fem- inine heart craved and which he felt was @ little beyond his means. She knew that all she had to do was to make a wish known, and every ef- fort was made by him to fulfil it. As time went on, everything came so easy for the woman that she took it for granted her slightest word was wesort and had ber own traupiles- in law to him, as is often the case when women are on "Easy Btreet,” Fables of Everyday Folks By Sophie Irene Loeb end SMILE, Copyright, 1916, by the Pros Publishing Oo.

This made things all the worse, until finally the break came, She left a good husband. (no longer “glass,” he confidentially rejoiced) holding Gertrude from fall- ing out of her seat tn the trolley.

T ts only within the last few yeari ] that the eyes of the world have been opened to the dangers from fies and dirt, Strange as it now neoms, the fy was not reguried as @ deadly danger until the time of the Spanivh-American war, It was the experience of the United States vol- unteer soldiers in that war which iret called attention in this country to the fact that disease was carried by fies. About one out of every five of our soldiers had typhoid fever during that war, and the doctors who were study- ing its cause came to the conclusion that the number of cases of typhuld varied with the methods of disposing of the excretions. While they kuew that the fever germs were spread from person to person by more or less direct contact, they were positive taut some other agent was at work, It was noticed that «reat numbers of flies swarmed continually over piles of offal and of refuse. directly from the pits and settied up- on the soldiers’ food. The reports of these facts started people thinking, with the result that the crusade against the fly began then and there. Now it is an established and unques- tioned fact that more children under two years of age die of summer vom- plaint than from any other cause, For the last two sumiers the Board of Public Health of the Association for Improving the condition of the Poor have been trying experiments to make sure certain facts. The first summer's work was carried on in the Bronx in an Itallan quarter, where 600 babies were under close observation, divided into two «roups, one protected anil the other not. This protection bogan by the health officers cleaning up the streets, yards and houses where the ARGAINS, bargains everywhere B are the order of the week in the shops. So many attractive things are going for a song that the woman or man either who under- stands the real art of economy always makes a point of doing the butk of the summer's buying at this time of the year. ‘Thin ailk gloves have @ disagreeable trick of falling in holes at the least provocation, and they ere invariably in this condition when one ts in the greatest hurry to wear them. But gloves of such excellent quality with double tips’ to each finger are sold miraculously cheap at present. At even the most conservative shops six- teen button length mousquetaire white silk gloves that were formerly sold for $1 are now 50 cents a pair. At another shop sixteen | button length gloves are 88 cents and the short two button allk gloves intended for wear with long sleeved frocks are at the unheard of price of 15 cents for each pair, Nowadays the wise woman often fall d gets her at than half price for next year, and can also have the satisfaction of selecting from all the latest novelties. Beautiful sum- mer dresses of the new awning striped cotton voile in black and white and colors and white made up in all the smartest models can be purchased in one shop for $5, while at another store not so very far away | they are offering dresses from $1.98 to 95 in clever coates and bolero ef- ts, a8 Well as suspender and fancy with all the new collars oy figured, striped, din- mond or pin checked voiles or dressy crepes or French ramie linens, For a little mora money the first men- tioned shop 1s showing some beauti- ful French Hnen dresses, which at the The fies came | Should Know half lived. and fly paper was distribut- ekly by dist: nurses, together with anti-fly bit nd much ver tected bal instruction to p As @ result of the first summer's | work it was found that there wer sixty cases of summer complain: among the bables who were unpre doand only twenty cases among toc jt A ratio of three ce of files and wwe protacted= in favor of abse Recause tht d not been eating experiment at the very be on, it wan re r. experiment three placed under observa |tion, and nearly 1,000 bables wer Junder study, Nurses hired for |the work by the Health Department homes were visited every few days, and over 10,000 visits were paid dur- Ing the investigation. The work was centred upon the fly In the home: the baby was screenes from attacks of files, and its foo¢ was also protected, besffes all pre- vious precautions being used. ‘The conclusions were based upon the re- porta of observation of these visit- ing nurses, who Went from house to house throughout the campaign, The result recorded wan that, first, nearly twice as many babies had sum- mer complaint where flies abounded as where they were absent, So much for flies! Second, that nearly twice as many babies were sick where the homes and surroundings were dirty, 3 | third, that the combined fly and dirt factors meant that nearly two and | one-half times as many bables were |sick in dirty, fly-infasted homes than jin those which were clean and fly less. This shows us that fies are a tremendous menace to life in the transmission of disease, and that dirt ‘ts a menace too, and that the two leombined are the greatest dangers that threaten the babies. A Handy Shopping Guide first of the season were selling for $15.50, but now are $7.00. They are very smartly trimmed with lace and touches of emproidery and come in white and all the fashionable colors. Even if you bave all the early fall clothes you will need this season ft is quite worth while to buy dress ma- terials now and put them away to be made up for next summer and fall. For 16 cents a yard summer dreas fabrics can be purchased, the very loveliest figured dimities or eilk or cotton crepe cords in both plaimool- ors and printed effects, Then t! are delightful figured or plain ribbons wide enough for sashes to be bought from 19 cents @ yard up. And the bargains in blouses, whioh in unregenerate days we used to call shirt waists, are simply legion. Real- ly beautiful blouses of very good quality organdie or voile made with both rolling collars and the collars that have the high pleating In the back, and are so very becoming to Jong’ necke, are only. 88 cents. ‘They are pretiily trimmed with lace or have embroidered fronts that make them very good looking indeed, ‘This is also the time to lay mM a stock of shoes, for both men's and women's footwear |s cheaper than at other seasons.
