When Admiral Sims, just before America's entry into the world war, was sent to Kuropc to confer with i he British navy officials, and then 10 command the American forces op erating in European waters, he was startled by what he discovered.

Little- home tales, these are, of the people in the glens of Donegal, handled in the well known Mac Manus style. The stories, like the true Irishman himself, are bubbling over with wit at times, and at others touch the depths of sorrow. Like able characters they ire, from the old couple who were sure the "Lord Mavor of Buffalo," on a visit to Ire land, would call on them because their sons lived in Buffalo, to the girl who twists the swain . into a speedy proposal, with her clever line of blarney. He has the faculty of making the characters seem really alive.. LITER ART DICIEST LIBERTY MAP OP NEW EUROPE. Published by Funk & Wannalla company. New Tork. Price 11.75 on paper, 4.60 on cloth.

WHY?- Do We Refer to the " King's English?" From the time of the conquest to the 14th century, the lan guage of England was in a very unsettled condition. The Norman-Saxon elements were strug gling for mastery. Latin .was the language of formal written doc uments, while French was used in court and by the nobility. The lower classes, however, con fined' themselves almost entirely to Saxon, but even this lan guage varied so greatly that the residents of the north of Eng land could not understand those of the south. Because of the language ot the court could not, of course, be comprehended, by the common ers a language suitable for proc lamations and edicts was gradu ally formed, and to distinquish tt from mere dialects, it was call ed the "King's English." Chaucer and Gowcr. who frequented the court, learned this style 01 speech, and they are the first writers to adopt the English language :-.s an entity. (Copyright. l:i. By the Wlicsier Syndicate. .

HOW DID V w ii i j m m m m We look at the pictures of playwrights In the act of devising great -scenes; Their stories we read of the way they succeed In all of the late magazines. Their press agents tell us their habits And dwell on their cute little ways, Till we avidly dash with a handful of cash To buy a front seat at their plays. We know that it isn't the author Who ever puts over a show, It's the press agent's pep that gives it its rep And makes it a whale of a go. It's the sharp little close-ups he gives us Of the dramatist's intimate life, Of the way that he writes in the cellar of nights Away from his kids and his wife. The author we see playing tennis (In the magazine pages, of course), The author they snap as he murmurs, "Giddap!" To his beautiful thoroughbred horse, . Is the author whose plays arc a knockouf; No playwright could ever win fame Or make his trade pay, in this curious day, Without the publicity game. When Shakespeare indicted a drama They just put it on that is all, And night after night they would pack 'em so tight That they sprung out the sides of the hall. Xo magazines printed his pictures To gladden the popular eye; No press agent's praise made a name of his plays Yet somehow the fellow got by!

HOLDING A Adele Garrison's Revelations Why Betty Kane Sent for Madge I gave a comprehending nod to Betty Kane, theu spoke quickly, casually, in order that the other women in the little tea room might have no suspicion of anything out of the ordinary in our murmured col loquy. J "Would you mind making my tea extra strong today?" I asked. "I'll have it stand alone if you wish," she retorted lightly. "Not quite that strenuous," I smiled, and turning, seated myself unobstrusively- near the case of postal cards, to wait for my order cf tea, and to speculate upon ths probable reason for this odd request of Betty Kane's that I should come to the tea room at this time. It was preposterous for me to sup pose that the lines of worry on her usually placid face had anything to do with her summons, and yet the idea persisted in my mind that the two, things were related in some way. Was the summons on my account or her own? The first proposition was too absurd for a second' thought, considering the brevity of tuy acquaintance with her, and yet, I reflected, Betty Kanelwas not the woman to send for me on her own account. I had seen enough of her relations to her townspeople to know that she had hosts of old j friends. She did not need to call upon new ones for any favor. This impression became a cer tainty as I watched her wheelchair weaving in and out among the peo ple seated in, her little tea room. That she was not pitied, but was revered and actually beloved by her neighbors and customers, I could see by ttie tender glances which were given her and by the intonations of the voices which greeted her. The arcma of the tea distilled by Betty Kane's quaintly figured brown teapot was no more delicate and fragrant than the mental atmosphere of the little room, ft was as unlike the ordinary place where one drops in for tea as could well be imagined. Surely, outside the pages of "Cran ford," I reflected whimsically, there could not be found such another col Icrtion of prim, faded gentlewomen of an age that had long ceased to be uncertain, and more or less wheezy old gentlemen, trying hard to be gal tont under the handicap of incipient asthma. Betty Kane's Way. I N'or could the question of vulgar I payment for the lea and cakes have j been more ingeniously concealed by the Crautordites than it was by the rstrons of Betty Kane. Evidently I T -17 ANP TO corns -.iv Get Than Poetry MONTAGUE HE DO IT? boys keep sliding the stuff over the " HUSBAND New Phase of of a.Wife each understood the price of the food offered, for none asked, and I think each person had brought the exact change concealed in a glove or a handkerchief. At any rate, I saw no money transaction whatsoever. But as each man or woman finished tea, he or she approached Betty Kane as one would take farewell of a gra cious hostess at an afternoon func tion and shook her head. ' I was morally certain that with each handshake there was left in her palm the payment due for the tea and cakes, and yet as far as my vision was concerned, I could see no such transfer. But after each handshake 1 saw the crippled wo man's hand go unobtrusively into a brightly colored cretonne knitting bag which hung upon her wheel chair, and was sure that it was in that receptacle she concealed the coin which, if exhibited, would make her little room a place of(commerce instead of the place of a pretty home "afternoon." When the last "guest" I saw that she considered each customer that had gone, she turned to me with a wistful smile curving the. lips, that must in her girlhood have been rare ly beautiful. The Mysterious Chauffeur. "Please don't think that I expect ftrangers to do that," she said, rec ognizing with her intuitive courtesy my unspoken query. "But it pleases my old friends to pretend that 1 am simply entertaining them the way I would love to do if I could af ford it and I cannot deny that it pleases me also." "It would please mc greatly if you would let mc 'pretend' in the same way whenever I come," I re turned earnestly, and was surprised and touched to see the quick tears spring to her dark eyes. "You're real and you're rare," she said simply, but with an intonation that made me feel as if I bad re ceived an accolade, "There is some one in my kitchen who is waiting to see you,'' she said. 4,He says it is imperative. Will you come nor" "Him?" I repeated the pronoun to myself fearfully, with a sudden flashing premonition of the person I would see in another moment. And when I bad, reached Betty Kane's kitchen, I knew that my premoni tion was justified. For, lounging against the door, twirling his cap nervously, was the driver of the4 mysterious closed carriage!

Ask a friend to think of any number, to multiply the number by itself and to set the product of the multiplication down on a bit of paper where you cannot sec it. He is next to subtract one from the number thought of and to multiply the sum re maining by itself. The product of this multiplication he is to subtract from the turn written on the paper. lie tells you the remainder and you tell him the number he thought of. It is really very easy. All that you have to do is to add one to the remainder he announces and, divide the result by two. This will give you the number thought of. For example, your friend thinks of six. Multiplying six by six he gets 36. This he writes on a slip of paper. He next subtracts one from six. The remainder, rive, he multiplies by i itself, getting 25. He next sub tracts 25 from 36 and gets 11. When he announces 11 you add one to it. This gives you 12. Dividing 12 by two (of course you will do all this in your head), you get six, and that, you may. be sure, is the number thought of.

If there arc small children in the family, let the 16-year-old daughter help in caring for their needs, giving her actual responsibility in some particular: this latter is very im portant, for girls, like tlirir ciders, are more interested in what they are doing if they have responsibility. If there arc no little brothers or sisters, pet the girl in touch with some one in the locality who is do ing infant welfare work.

Tired Tim asked Brownie Beaver one day. "There's going to be a cyclone." "A cyclone?" Brownie exclaimed. "What's that? I've never heard of one." "It's a big storm, with a terrible wind," Tired Tim explained. "The wind will blow so hard that it will snap off big trees." "Good!" Brownie Beaver cried. "Then I won't have to cut down any more trees in order to reach the ten der bark that grows in their tops." Tired Tim laughed. "You won't think it's very 'good,' " he said, "when the cyclone strikes the village." "Why not?" Brownie inquired. "Because " said Tired Tim "because thewind will blow every hoyfse away. It will snatch up the sticks of which the houses are rruilt and carry them over, the top of Blue Mountain. Then I guess you'll wish you had taken my advice and not built that new house of yours. "I shall be safe enough," the lazy rascal continued. "All I'll have, to do will be to crawl inside my house in the bank; for the wind can't very well blow the ground away." Brownie Beaver thought that Tired Tim was just trying -to scare him. "I don't believe tbere's going to be Tired Tirn, laughed any such thing!" he exclaimed. "Don't you?" Tim grinned. t"You just go and ask Grandaddy Beaver. He's the one thit says there's go ing to be a cyclone." At that Brownie Beaver stopped working and hurried off to find old Grandaddy Beaver. And to his great dismay, Grandaddy said that what Tired Tim had told him was the truth. "It's a-coming!" Grandaddy Bea- DR. LEE W.

And when I see a cyclone a-coming I can generally tell it a long way off." "When is it going to get bere?" Brownie asked in a quavering voice. "Next Tuesday!" Grandaddy re plied. "What makes you think it's com ming?" "Well everything lookes just the way it did before the last cyclone," Grandaddy Beaver explained, as he took a mouthful of willow bark. "The moon looks just the same and the sun look3 just the same. I had a twinge of rheumatics in my left shoulder yesterday; and to-day the pain's in my right. It was exactly that way before the last cyclone." Brownie Beaver did not doubt that the old gentleman knew what he was talking about. He remembered that Grandaddy Beaver had warned ev eryone there was going to be a fresh et. And, though people had 'aughed at the old chap, the freshet had come. Sadly worried, Brownie went and called on all his neighbors and asked the.n what they were going to do. And to his surprise he found that they were laughing at Grandaddy once more. They seemer to have forgotten about the freshet. But Brownie Beaver could not for get that dreadful night. And now he tried to think of some way to keep his new house from being blown away by the great wind, which Grandaddy Beaver said was com ing on Tuesday without fail. (Copyrfght, Grosset & Duolap.)
