CHAPTER VI Th Wedding Feast , (The weddlnf ot General Swallow ani Miss Purple Swellew la delayed becauee Blu Jay ateala tha bride. Peggy and pilly Bel iura aid In reiculnc br from the tree, dungeon where aba nearly perleb.ee.) "O Wedding Day be fair; O Wedding Day be bright.! All joy bring to this pair, , ... And endless heart's delight 1" T HUS sang the Birds as they gaily escorted General Swallow and his bride to the beautiful glen beside the bay, which they had chosen for their wedding place. And as if in response the rising sun colored the eastern sky with radiant hues, streamers of pink, silver, green, gold and orange shot up. high, the tints changing constantly Their splendor was reflected in the rippling waters so that sky and bay seemed, alive with flashing colors. "jThs.-glen itself .was a reguLr ved di'ng bower. From the trees hung a tapestry of vines. At either side were banks of shrubbery and masses of ferns. All about were wild flowers Violets, Brown-Eyed Susans, Mar guerites, Daisies and Columbines, teadtrtg from the edge of the water to a mossy mound.beneath a canopy of wild Honeysuckle and Roses was a carpet of velvety grass. The whole . scene was like a wonderful outdoor cathedral. Judges Owl, looking very dignified and solemn, took up his station on . ttii mniinrf. T1i Birds crouoed them- selver at either side of the glen, leaving an aisle down the center for the bridal party. Up in the tree was the choir Canaries, Mocking Birds Orioles and other songsters. s Miss Purple Swallow, refreshed by her swift ride through the air, seemed perfectly recovered. She jumped from the hammock as sprightly as if she 'had forgotten her terrifying experi ence :fn the tree dungeon. 'Motherly Birds led her to a dell at one side, and. when she came out Peggy gave a gasp of delight. She wore a bridal veil of spider lace, in which sparkled dewdrop jewels. On her head was a wreath of white dai sies and hung from her neck like a muff was a dainty bride's bouquet of rare wild flowers. She looked very charming, indeed, and her appearance .was 'greeted by a chorus of pleased "ahs" and "ohs.". : Two tiny Humming Birds as flower i.j .1.. i 1 1 ,...,.. -.(clo Thefi came the bridesmaids Misses Scarlet Tanger, 'Thrush, Blue-. Bird, Robin, Yellow Warbler and Meadow Lark. Ahead of the bride walked Miss Rose Breasted-Grosbeak as maid of 'honor, Miss 'Purple Swallow- was on her father's wing-.' At the mound waited General Swallow with his best man, Reddy Woodpecker. . ' -. From the choir burst ."forth a melo - . dious chant-;- ,' "Joy . tP; thee,, : sweet - brjde I joy to-thee, brave. grpou.t! Through life side-, by .'side. Roam- in. youth's fair' bloom." General Swallow met his bride at the foot of the mound and mounted it with her. Judge Owl began the ceremony. Peggy and the animals, to get a better view,, jumped -on -what seemed to be a: log half concealed in the shrubbery. The Ior gave a great shake and tHey tumbled off head over heels. As they picked themselves up, out of the shrubbery rolled a ragged, rough-looking tramp. The log was his leg. The tramp at up and blinked at the wedding crowd. The Birds, stunned by this new addition to the excitement of the night, . sat and looked at him. The; tramp let out a roar and jumped to his feet. "What do yot'i mean by disturbing my sleep?" he shouted, reaching for a club-. ' "Get out of here t" Peggy was the only one to move. She drew a blade of fairy ring grass from her pocket and popped it into the ready jaws of Johnny Bull. In stantly Johnny Bull seemed to leap out, of the ground, a full-sized, power ful,, hungry bulldog, The tramp stopped short. His eyes bulged out. ,' ."Great". Caesar's ghost!" he ex claimed. Johnny Bull leaped for him. The tramp leaped the other way. But he .didn't leap quick enough, Johnny Bull grabbed his coattail and hung on. .With a howl of fear the tramp dashed' madly off through the woods dragging Johnny Bull . behind. The tail tore out of the coat and the tramp put on such a burst of speed that Johnny Bull had to give tip the chase. . So he came back to see the wedding, while the tramp kept up his wild flight, r Judge Owl was a bit flustered as he went on with the ceremony. "Do you take me for your lawfully wedded mate?" he asked General Swallow. "Not by a jugful I" declared General Swallow .indignantly. "Olv I beg your pardon!" Judge Owl apologized. "I mean do you :ake .Miss Purple Swallow to be your awfully wedded mate?" "I do," chirped General Swallow, firmly, and Judge Owl quickly got the ceremony over. The choir burst into a stirring wed ling march and the Birds formed in line behind the bride and groom. It was just like a grand march at danc ing school. Peggy found herself walking along with Balky Sam, who strutted along on his hind legs in polite" cirms style." The procession led through the glen to a little valley where was spread the wedding feast. Nuts, grains, bugs, worms and beetles for the Birds that like them; flies and insects for others. It was a break fast that caused the Birds to twitter with glee, but it didn't appeal at all to Peggy and Billy Belgium. :"We have something for you," cried General Swallow, seeing the dis appointment in their faces. He pointed to a hollow rock heaped up with berries. Peggy looked at the fruit a bit doubtfully. - General Swal low chuckled. "Don't be afraid. Wre WOMAN'S COUNCIL 5. NATIONAL DEFENSE f Nurses' Training Schools. There are 1,579 nurses' training schools in this country. Their need is as great and imperative as that of the army school of nursing. Those who enroll for these schools will be as signed as vacancies occur. The. enrollment card will indicate two classes of registrants, preferred and deferred. The preferred class will be those who are ready to accept as signment to whatever hospital the government directs them, although they may state what training school they prefer to be sent to. Those who register in the preferred class will be assigned first, and all possible con sideration will be given to their pref erence as stated. The deferred class is composed of those who limit their pledges of service that is, who will not engage to go except to certain hospitals. This class is intended largely for those- who for family reasons cannot accept training at a distance from their homes. Those who register in the deferred class will be assigned only after the preferred class is ex hausted. Term of training: The term of training varies from two to three years, according to the requirements of the particular school to which the student nurse may be sent. No course is less than two nor more than three years. What the training course prepares for: At present every woman who completes satisfactorily her training in any accredited school is eligible for service as an army nurse at the front and stands a chance of being assigned to duty abroad. At the same time she will be qualified to earn her living in one of the noblest professions open to women. Finances: The student nurse gets her board, lodging and tuition free at practically every training school and in most cases receives a small re muneration to cover the cost of books and uniforms. After graduation she has an earning capacity of from $100 to $300 a month, together with board, lodging and laundry while on duty. Soldier Boys Like Her So Will Every- i one Who Hears Her Miss Helen Rahm, who is to be the soloist at the patriotic program the War Camp- Community Service league is preparing to give at Kiver view park Saturday evening, is an artist of real merit. She was a draw ing card on the Orpheum circuit for several seasons and when she sang at Fort Crook Wednesday night she was greeted by a storm of applause. "That is the kind of music we like," one of the soldiers said voicing the opinion of his companions. Miss Juliet McCnne who has charge of the music has trained a chorus of .-several hundred girl Voices. The girls .rehearsed. Weduesday evening on the high school campus. Other girls who wish to join the chorus may do so by coining to the pavilion in the park at 7 "o'clock Saturday evening. The dancing will be in charge of Miss Mildred Mekeel who has trained a group of little girls in some beautiful- numbers. -.-, ,- -:.A patriotic pageant will be given by the drama section of the Association of Intercollegiate Alumnae under the direction of Miss May Sommers. Everybody is invited to Riverview park at 7:30 Saturday evening, when the program will begin. All are invited to join in the singing. When the girls' chorus was rehearsing Wednesday evening, the people of the community gathered to listen, and .the enthusiasm pf their clean young voices was so contagious that one by one they joined in the music, until the entire crowd was standing and singing the "Star Spangled Banner" all but one man. He continued to sir-until a very little boy, who noticed him, walked over and spoke to him quietly. Then the man rose and removed his hat. No lack of patriotism in Young America.i didn't steal them; They are wild berries picked in the woods." Never had berries tasted sweeter to Peggy. But they reminded her of a task that awaited her at home. "Oh, I promised' mother to help her with her war canning today," she cried. "I must hurry home." "When duty calls a true patriot promptly obeys," hooted Judge Owl, Peggy heard no more for she was fly ing through the air with a rush. An instant later she was sitting up in her own bed listening to her mother's voice calling from downstairs. "Awaken I Awaken! Awaken! The canning army is going into action. Awaken! Awaken I The bugle calls you, Soldier Peggy!" (In the next story Blue Jay la placed en trial for hla life In Judge Owl'i queer ourt.) Now, Mary Sunshine is polite.

He is out of harmony with universal law. His in stincts have been perverted. Helpless ness in a child appeals to all that is noblest In our natures. . The love of mother and father goes out more strongly to the weaker offspring. This is a natural instinct implanted, in the human heart, no doubt for the defi nite purpose of protecting the young during their period of helplessness. But when a man seeks frailty and helplessness in his life partner, it is an evidence that the parental instinct has been perverted. In past generations our novels reeked I use the word advisedly with the frail, delicate type of heroine. The hero's heatr swelled in a master ful way at the thought of protecting such a frail creature throughout life. Shielding such an ethereal being from all difficulties and discomforts appear ed to him an extraordinary privilege. The mysterious pain and languor of his heroine only added to her charm. They were another indication of her need for the support of his strong arms. Up to very recent times prac tically all our literature was tainted with this sort of rot, and its influence demoralized many generations of men and women. I have frequently, in years gone by, picked up a book that deeply in terested me until I read the descrip KfeerrlfM. IMS. (A earlee ot article aketebiaf the vareer of Dr. Edward A.

Very early in the game Dr. Rumely attempted to assume exclusive con trol of the Washington correspond ence of the paper, It was not long before the Mail's Washington repre sentative was spoken of as the one man who could always get to Von Bernstorff, even when the German ambassador was not receiving other newspaper men. Not that there was anything necessarily illegitimate in that; it was often possible for the Mail, through this close connection with the German embassy,, to obtain an advance tip on what the German attitude would be in regard to which ever one of the various controversies between that government and our own was pending at the time, and so score a decided "beat" tt a time when such matters were legitimate news. When relations were finally broken off and Von Bernstorff sent back to Germany, Dr. Rumely professed to believe that the difficulties would still be patched up and that there would be no war. He sent the Mail's Wash ington man along with the. dismissed ambassador and he remained in Ber lin until after war was actually de clared. Fomenting Trouble With Mexico. The interest of Germany in foment ing trouble between the United States and Mexico was not clearly apparent to many persons or newspapers in the early days of the European war. It was apparent from the day the con trol of the Mail passed into Dr. Rumely's hands, however, that he was greatly interested in Mexican matters, and this interest never waned so long as I remained on the paper. One of the earliest visitors to the offices of the Mail under the new re gime was Eduardo Iturbide. a de scendant of the man who had been emperor of Mexico under the title of Augustin I. Iturbide wanted to head the Mexican government. Dr. Rumely in the Mail indorsed his efforts to ob tain backing for a coup d'etat that would put; him at the head of the Mexican people. Later Iturbide was dropped by those who had originally backed him and Felix Diaz was picked as the man to lead a successful counter revolu tion. All through the months when the Carranzistas and the Villistas were having it out with each other and our troops were watchfully wait ing on the border, Dr. Rumely . was sure that Felix Diaz would be the man who finally would bring order out of chaos. Diaz Pushed to the Front The news dispatches seldom, if ever, mentioned Felix Diaz, but Dr. Rumely mentioned him so frequently that I wondered where he was get ting his information. He would come to my desk and tell me that he had trustworthy information that Felix Diaz was gaining strength rapidly, and suggest that we ought to print something about it He had it from confidential sources that he could not reveal. I would tell him that there were some very competent American newspaper men in Mexico for the Simon's Signs. Life Story of the New Woman tion of the heroine, and then I would throw it aside in disgust. The idea of a miserable makeshift of a girl, tall and willowy, with a waist that could be easily spanned by the hands, being a flesh ana blood specimen of femin inity of any importance was ridicu lous to me. They were invalids in disguise, these heroines. The very first difficulties they encountered would make them helpless and hope less. They were the product in every instance of too much coddling. Their girlhood days were spent in dreamy idleness. They were strangers to vigorous effort of any sort They missed the opportunity to develop in to real women through the proper use of their bodily structure. Not so dong ago, the conventional method of training girls for the mar riage market was along a similar line. The arts of fascination were culti vated with a view to catching a prize. Little or no thought was given to the necessity of keeping this prize after one had caught it. And not one mo ment was wasted in preparing for the duties of motherhood which neces sarily followed from prize-winning of this sort. A girl must be cultured; music, French, and the social arts must be mastered in all their intricacies. Can we wonder that in the process of training under false ideals of this character, a great many Clinging Vines were developed? With absolutely n attention given to health development, girls became ethereal, anemic, and not EDWARD A. RUM ELY Man Who Bougkt the New York Mail for the Kaiser C. aaa Cauda. Ua If. T.

Later, when the Mexican situation frrew more intense he would bring in etters from a friend who owned a large ranch in Mexico, quoting frorr. a letter frc his ranch foreman re tailing gossip brought in by the peons. This, in tha doctor's mind, was "news," no matter how contradictory the news dispatches might be! Peace "News" From Germany. And he got "news" from Germany about the war, in similar mysterious ways. It was always "news" cha did not appear in the press dispatches. "Peace is at hand. It is in the airl" He would inform me so frequently that I at last formulated a stock re ply. He had it from confidential sources that Germany was ready to make peace on its own terms, , -course. And frequently these confi dential communications would, a ew days later, be followed by another of the famous German "peace drives," which the German government used so effectively to keep public senti ment in America from focussing on war preparations. Sometimes he was sure the war would be over in six months; once he even fixed a date for its termination. That those of us who were handling the news would not take these private advices seriously and handle the war news in such a way as to reflect the peace propagan da annoved him exceedingly. I don't remember how many Ger man ''news agencies" there were sending propaganda "news" to the United States in the early days of the war. There must have been a dozen of them, calling themselves "Over seas" or "Transoceanic" or by some such other titles. They used the wire less direct from Germany to Sayville or Tuckerton, and their emanations were given to all of the American Eress associations on equal terms. r. Rumely, however, was continually complaining that no real news from Germany was getting to America. Syndicate to Put Over "News." "Real news" was what he wanted for the syndicate. It had been a very large and important part of the pre liminary plans, the Evening Mail Syndicate. The project was to build up a clientele that would gladly ac cept whatever the syndicate might of fer. It would have been a splendid way to disseminate German propa ganda, with adequate camouflage.

The war has knocked all this non sense "sky high." The girls of today have begun to realise the necessity for developing womanly powers. They clearly un derstand the value of strength, en durance and vitality. And they are going after the duties before them in a manner that is to be most highly commended. Defective Draftees. That is, some of them are; There are others who are still in the Clinging-Vine stage. And through adherence to habits of ease and idle ness they are neglecting an important war-time duty. Weaklings are in the way. And the Clinging-Vine sort of woman is in the weakling class. The defective draftees have been maligned in every quarter. They have Prices Are Going Despite an There is a great abundance of fruit and vegetables on the local markets now and everything has gone up in price "because of the war." Water melons sell at 3 to 3JA cents a pound and it doesn't take a very big one to cost $1. This is probably due to the cutting off of the aniline dye sup ply which formerly came from Ger many. It costs more to color the rinds, you see! Peaches, cost 30 cents and more a dozen, which is probably due to the shortage of wood to make reach crates, all the wood being used now to make wooden snipe. The high price in no instance is due to any All rifbto peetrrU' But, as I have said before, there was no finesse or subtlety in the doctor's methods. He tried to syndicate the Babson articles. A few papers bought them on the strength of Mr, Babson's reputation, but when those same papers were immediately offered a dose of Von Schulze-Gaevernitz, most of them severed their connections with the syndicate then and there. Newspaper readers will remember the German attempt to arouse sympa thy and stifle war sentiment in Ameri ca by depicting the sufferings of Ger man babies. German babies were dy ing by thousands because the dread ful British blockade had cut off their milk supply or if it wasn't the block ade it was something else. Funds were opened in the name of the Ger man Red Cross to buy condensed milk and ship it to Germany to keep the babies from starving. It sounded plausible; it did not at first look like propaganda. It got a lot of publicity. Milk for German Babies Fund. Dr. Rumely opened, the columns of the Mail to, subscriptions for this worthy and humanitarian purpose. Then Mr. McClure came back from Europe. He had penetrated as far as Constantinople after leaving the peace ship, and had met many old friends whom he had known m the piping times of peace. And somewhere along the lines the propagandists had got their wires crossed. For In Berlin a high official whom Mr. McClure knew personally had pointed with pride to the fact that Germany was enduring war condi tions remarkably well, and in proof had handed him voluminous statistics showing that the infant mortality rate in Berlin and other German cities had actually declined since the war began. Mr. McClure returned iust as the "milk for German babies campaign was beginning to gain momentum. He took issue with its promoters at once. They protested and he smoth ered their protests with their own German statistics, that he had brought back with him! That ended one effec tive bit of propaganda. Nevertheless, Mr. McClure suffered the stigma of his Mail connection and many of his old friends, who ought to have known him better than they did, turned away for a time. There never was a more loyal American than S. S. McClure. nor one less capable of believing ill of those whom he regsrded as his best friends.
