by of the prlnco of collies.
Hut the Hons' wife, who had accompanied
her lord to the Kate, surveyed her tethered
favorite with Impatient compunction.
"H'a a shame to keep him tied up that
way." li said. "He knowa ui and this
place aa well as he will ever know It. The
idea that ho would run away la perfectly
ridiculous. We treat him too well, and
he's getting fat and laxy for lack of exer
cise?" The Posts looked doubtfully at the yard
and a half of black and yellow fur which
una chained Ignomlnlously to a clothe
pole.
Woof-'Woof whined cordlul absent to

gratiating tail.
"Well," tho Boss hesitated, "we'll see
about It. A colli is a pretty tricky dog.
Id rather keep hi in chained up a while
longer, hut we'll talk about It when I come
lioma tonight."
The whistle of the Boms' train cut short
the discussion. When he was well out of
right his wife unchained the delighted
Woof-Woof and they bad a very animated
hall game. In which the lady did all the
puffing and the agile collie all the work.
Then she bethought herself of the niorn
Iriic paper, and right there the tragedy
began.
If a certain dry goods firm had not ad
vertlicd certain creations of French mil
linery at half price, the Ilos' wife might
never have gone to town that day.
She went to the city, shopped all day to
her heart's content and telephoned to the
Ltoss from her favorite tea room that she
would meet him In Jersey and return on
the same train to Mountainvllle.
Aa they walked home from the station
tha moon was riding a very high horse In
a starless sky, and In tha transfiguring
light and the vivid autumn wind tha Hons
decided that there was not only no place
like home, but no horn like his.
Approaching the bouao, the poetic fl
lence which had enshrouded their moonlit
walk was broken by the welcoming bark
of Woof-Woof.
" 'Tis sweet to hear the watchdog's hon
est bark," quoted tha lady, sentimentally.
Tha Boss grimaced, but the necessity for
unlocking the front door curtailed further
criticism, and once Inside, the rapturous
greeting from the collie made speech Im
possible.
Just then Mary, the handmaiden, stepped
suddenly out of the shadow of the dining
room Into the hall.
Woof-Woof cast a self-conscious, and It
might almost have been said a propitiating
glance In her direction. But too late.
"They're giving a reception two doors
down the street." she began with unaccus
tomed volubility, "and while I was watch

New Yorkers Are Honest, Say Men Who
Often Leave Money in Unguarded Places
New Yorkers are honest. Passing un
guarded piles of money every day, not
more than one out of a half million will
stoop to filch a single coin.
To ruralltes who think of the big ctty a
a modern Gemorrah. where pitfalls abound,
this may seem Incredible. The statement la
true, nevertheless. It la made by three
men who knew.
Kach of them does business at the busiest
eddy of the maelstrom of humanity that
sweeps through Herald square every twenty-four
houra. Kach of the trio for years
has left his business and his cash till un
watched, and between the three, not more
than SO cents has been lost In more than
fifteen years.
The men ar newsdealers. Two of them
have sidewalk stands on Broadway and
Thirty-fourth street, on opposite comers.
The stand of the third is located at Sixth
avenue and Thlrty-slxtb street. For eer
eral hours dally each of the men quits his
stand. They go varying distances from
their places of business. The ob.iect is to
deliver papers at the homes, or offices, of
their regular customers. Not Infrequently
they are away from their stands for an
hotir at a time.
During the absence of their owners busi
ness goes on at the stands as speedily and
as well as If the men who reap a small
profit on each transaction were there In

slack their rush for a moment, seixe a

Frequently It will happen that the cus
tomer haa not the change. For that the
dealer usually has made provision. Aa a
rule, when he etarte away from the stand,
he will 'leave a little pile of pennies and
nlekles In plain sight on top of the atand.
Should he have neglected to do so the
pennies of those customers who are pro

a nucleus from which other purchasers can

Occasionally It happens that some one
with nothing smaller than a half dollar or
a dollar bill comes along and desires a
paper or a magaslne. They do not care to
burden themselves with a pile of pennies.
In this case they Just take what they want
and resume their journey without the
formality of paying.
Seldom does the newsdealer bother when
he comes back from attending to his route
to count either the money or the papers

Good Form in Making Appropriate
Presents
It Is not good form for any but members
of the bride's family to give her personal
wedding lifts. The sole exception to thla
Is when Jowels are presented. And of

Immediate family provide everything re

That any other individual should send any

on the part of the sender or that the giver
believed the bride's family unable to pro

"Ran away!" faintly echoed tho Boas'
wile as she sank Into a chair.
"Han away!" related the Boj-s gruffly,
but with equal anxiety in his tone.
It was Indeed no. Woof-Woof, at the
very firft oportunlty, had run nway! The
police station had been notified the neigh
bors had noarly all been summoned from
their most Important affair to advise the
distracted Mary as to the probable where

And, finally. Just half an hour before the
arrival of the Boss and his wife, the
butcher's boy, In pursuance of a time
honored affinity, had found him making
friends with everybody at the railroad sta
tion and had brought him home.
"Suppose he had never come back!" ex

"lo down stairs!" thundered the Boca to
the shame-faced and repentant collie, and
then he added to hi still tearful spouse,

he nilghtly sorry he ever ran away.
Then the Boss gave explicit directions to
Mary that Woof-Woof should be chained
up in the cellar for three days. "And,"
the Bocs ordered, with an finality that
brooked no appeal, "don't give him a thing
to eat tonight and don't pay any attention
to him."
And turning to the disconsolate wife, the
Boss added: "Please, dear, see that Mary
doesn't forget."
Halt an hour later the Boss was roused
from hln evening paper by the clatter of
nailed paws on the kitchen stairs and an
Insistent scratching on the door.
The Boss wife admitted the Intruder.
It was Woof-Woof with an Immense pink
ribbon tied around hia neck.
"Poean't he look sweet?" cooed the lady.
"I think pink is terribly becoming to him.
I wonder how Mary happened to think of
It? And look how glad he Is to be free
from that awful chain! Tou know you

It may be that afternoon, it may be the

J. Enoe, who has been selling papers at
the southeast corner of Sixth avenue and
Thirty-sixth street for three years, goes
away for half an hour at a time and often
returns to find sixty or seventy pennies on

In New Englsnd In the olden time the
Day of Thanksgiving was the great festi-H
val of the year.
The first of a general day of Thanks
giving having been formally designated Is
when In the year 1S21. aftef the first seantv
harvest, Governor Bradford directed that
all labor for one day should be susended,
that the Illgrlms might keep the feast In
their own rude houses, praising Hod that
He had kept them alive. To mark still
further than usual the occasion with more
than ordinary good cheer, the governor
sent out four of the Plymouth company Into
the forest with fowling pieces after game;
that thus they might in a more special
manner rejoice together.
Oh, what sublime faltii was that' The
previous winter had been one of appalling
hardship; half tho number that crossed the
Atlantic lay burled beneath tho soil on the
bleak hillside; they were few in numbers.
weak In every way. and yet all the fore
noon of that autumn day was passed In
devotion, and at mid-day they sat down to
feast on the forest bounty, and. withal,
praising Qod.
It la not stated what manner of game
those four fowlers fetched in from the
wilderness, but It may well be imagined
they were wild turkeys, for such abounded
In the Plymouth colony. Probably that
day set the fashion of having roast turkey.
It may well be that the colonists, ns year
after year went by, recalled, or were re
minded by their elders, of the first of all
New England Thanksgivings, as they kept
the feast and faith together. There are many
today that keep the feast, but omit the
faith. Let us, however, be. counted to
those that not only keep the feast, but
especially the faith; by heeding the words
of the Psalmist, who says. "Enter Into
His gates with thankaxlving. and Into His
courts with praise." tPsulm 100:4.) "He
thankful unto Him and bless His name."
God Is not merely Creator and Ruler of
the AVorld, He is also Founder, Guardian,
Lord and Shepherd of His Church. Ills
people should exhibit their sense of this
relation, and especially gh e it expression
in public worship, in order that all the
world may discover that this God la the
only God. We should be as willing to
serve God as we are bound to do so. and
encourage one another to that duty as
well as to Invite others to engage In 't.
Ttils duty is made Imperative In our text
in that the Psalmist commands the people
of God to manifest their adoration, their
loyalty, by a Thanksgiving and praise
service.
There are many people that think they
only have reason to be thankful when they
have a large sum of money In the bank to
draw on, but forget this day to be thankful
for every breath of air thev draw. Many
Correct Form for an Inv
to
Cards for an "at home" to be given by a
charming young woman have Just come
to me. She Is such an exact soul, liking
always to do what Is correct, and being
rather Inexperienced, that I looked at them
with special Interest, and was not alto
gether astonished to see that she had made
slight error In the form URed. Her own
isltlng cards were employed, which la
correct, but she wrote the words At
home," a form that has been obsolete for
several years.
Why this mistake was made Is obvious
after a moment's reflection.
To look as Dame Fashion would have it
an at home card should read:
Mrs. James Howard Brown.
Thursday, November Twenty-fifth.
From four to seven.
The fact that Mrs. Brown puts a date
and special hours on her visiting cards
signifies sufficiently that she will be at
home. To write the words "at home" thus
Is superfluous. Incidentally, these extra
words take space on a limited size card,
with the result that the latter looks
crowded.
If the hostess Is giving her "at home"
for a friend or relative, the name of the
guest of honor must be written benenth
her own. as:
Mrs. James Howard Brown.
To meet Mrs. Anderson.
Thursday. November Twenty-fifth,
From four to seven.

of us could never observe tl.ls day It such
were the case. Thanking is derived from
linking, that is. to think of the blessings
that have hem bestowed upon us. and
then acknowledge them.
Are the people today content with the
comforta of life? Thing seem to have
changed aomewhat from the time our
fathers were boys and young men. They
were thankful and content with what they
received and had less cares and worries In
the homes than tblr sons today. And
why Is It? Father and mother would sit
down and consult with each other as to
how they might make a dollar reach the
furthest, for they knew the value of n
dollar. The mother was in the true s. nse
a helpmeet for the husband: that Is. to
help him economise. Hut today the wife
In many instances hns become a helpmeet
In that she helps the husband spend his
earnings and profits. The husband, who
formerly stayed at home with his wife anil
family, now overreaches himself. Soon tho
happiness of the home Is marred by pov
erty; then, of course, the blnnie :s put at
the other man's door. When we bold up
this comparison and say to our young men.
"3je how content your fathers were," the
answer will be, "They did not know any
better and. besides, they were too slow;
things have rhanged." What a blessing
it would be If some of our yoiitiK men
didn't know any better and were a l.ttle
slower. H Is the slow, thankful spirit
that Is not only crowned with success, but
Is a blessing to the community; yes, to the
nation. It was the slow and thankful
Moses that organized God's people Into a
nation. it was the slow and thankful
prophet, Samuel, that held them together.

an Afternoon "At Home"ii
The hours may lie made to suit the
hostess' convenience, save that persons are
never Invited before 1 o'clock. They may
be bidden from 4 to 6. or from 3 to 7; it Is
always good form to extend the hours to
7, denoting that mei have been invited.
The latter are not expected in this country
to be able to leave business before ii o'clock,
and unless they are given enough leeway
they cannot be present.
In giving an "at home." the hostess. If
a married woman, does not enclose her
husband's card. He is not supposed to
be present, although he may appear if he
chooses und circulate among the guests,
but only In the capacity of guest, not as
host.
, Carda for an "at home'' must he sent out
at least one week before the affair. If
men are invited and there are grown sons
among the families, the former should
have cards sent them In separate envel
opes. But If there are daughters In a
family their cards should be enclosed In
their mother's envelope, the address being:
Mrs. Lancaster Smith Jonea.
The Misses Jones.
When cards are intended for more than
one son the envelope should read:
"The Messrs. Jones.
A father and son may not have cards In

as the fast and ungrateful Saul that
uttered tho nation. I this not
true of every nation? The slow and
thankful men framed our constitution.
The slow and thankful men have
held our nation together. The Sauls
of our nation are the organization that
do not npprer'nte a Thanksgiving ilav, but
rather nvike every day a day of murmur
ing, as Isreal did In the wilderness, anil In
so doing are making tho Inhabitants dis
satisfied, unsettling them and causing de
struction of life and property. If our
fathers had been as fast and ungrateful we
would have been put into the hands of the
receiver long ago. We have evet v renson
to be thankful today for our slow and
thankful forefathers and fathers.
To keep this country together we must
be slow nnd thankful Inhabitants of It. that
Is, be thankful to the Lord when he Is
pleased to fill our. cup. The condition of
our country Is not to be complained of. It
is. of course, not perfect, hut It might be
worse. The condition of our own city is
far from being what It ought to be; yet It
might be worse. To keep it from getting
worse, and to make it far, far better than it
Is, we need more slow and thankful In
habitants. If you do not volunteer to be
come such inhabitants, then our city will
be turned over Into the hands of the devil.
We have reason todav to be thankful that
it Is not already In his hands.
That the Lord hus blessed us with tin
comforts of life and filled our cup with
provisions to n overflowing is not obscure
to any of you. Without summing tip the
many bushels of grain ami the general
yield of tho harvest, we must admit that
the Lord has been good, and that He as of
old has provided a murmuring people with
a surplus of manna from heaven. We have
every reason to be thankful fur even the
least.
Then begin the practical giving as Abel
did. who brought unto the Lord of the
firstlings of his flock and of the f;t
thereof. The Ixird wants not only a gift,
but a sacrifice. There are too many people
today that treat the Lord li'ie Vnanias
ami Bapphua did; they retain a discount for
cash. If the people tluit are connected with
the church of t'hrlst today would render
thanks, not only In word, but in deed, bv
sacrificing, as they ought to. then we would
not have to draw the wjrld into the churcli
to raise funds to keep It alive. Christ did
not pay so much attention to the amounts
contributed by those that gave It because
they had It to spare, but lie directs our
attention to the widow, who ga-e nil she
had. Oh, my friends. It Is so bandy to
praise the lxird with our lips, and uhen It
conies to a test, then It comes so handy to
arrange soniethlng for the benefit of the
church, ho that we can dodge our duty and
let someone else pay our share.

"Some New Yovk woman has written a
letter to the paper with the suggestion
that men change the present style of even

household oracle has comfortably spread
himself oel three chairs while lighting a
cigarette.
"As my uncle has a grip on my dress

springing something new mxself In the
glad rag line."
"This writer would like to hae men re

colonial period, ' explains Father.
"Skinny boys like your little Willie
would certainly be a poem in a pair of
those pink Kilk knee pants," declares Son.
"Next to the Scotch kiltie that kind of a
rig is my tiotkm of nothing to wear."

"This inventive woman goes on to ay

"It would be more of a costume to wear

opinion.

Hip Length, Semi-Fitting Coats and
Wraps Are Very Popular This Winter
The everrua.-terlng desire for extremes Is
again manifested In the steady advance of
the hip length, semi-fitting coat on tailor
made costumes as contrasted with the full
length paletot coat.
For the moment. In all quarter that
count, the seven-eighths coat is held In
abeyance. There Is an unquestionably trim.
natty appeaiance about the fut named,
more especially when the fronts are cut
sharply away Just above tbe waist, and
below- large levers shaped at a sharp angle.
The leading inattres tailleurs dea danie.i
are Insistent on this particular rever aspect
in preference to the elongated style so prev
alent with tha. long wrap, the alternative
choice being a fastening carried right up to
the throat at the left hand side, when a
finish Is afforded by a narrow, softly pad
ded fold of fur. with one pendant end. In
deed, the growing favor accorded the at
tached fur tie cannot possibly be Ignored.
Just what effect this manteau will have
on the sales of more extravagant fur fit
ments has yet to be seen. That It Is a
boon to those possei-sed only of moderate
alloowancen is at once understandable, as
is the practical form it takes for throwing
back in heated room and railways. More
over, this Incidental fur finish has the par
ticular cachet of its moment.
Reverting to revere. There has quite un
expectedly arisen, from what quarters no
one seems to know, a feeling for white

chiefly employed In connection with neu

smart moutarde tones, and when supple
mented by datk furs, such as fox, skunk,

She starts with "Once upon a time,"
And tells in prose, perhaps in rhyme.
Some tales as old as Pharaoh's crown
Out of the dim past carried down
By story-tellers, one by oue
Spinning the yarn from aun to sun,
Nor changing it upon its way.

The mysteries of earth and skies.
Of birds and beasts and fish that talk,

Who revel nightly by themselves,
The king who won the beggar maid.

And rescued many a lady fair
