A popular musical corned atar was
taking tier summer vacation In a New
England village tola year, and good
naturedly agreed to participate In an
"entgrtalnnient to be given at the
town halt for the benefit of local char
Itlea. She procured from New York
one of the costume from her last win
ter'g show, and a fetching poster show
ing herself In that same costume. Soos
after the poster was on display a dele
gation of village ladles waited upoc
the committee of gentlemen who were
engineering the entertainment nd pro-:
tested against the chic costume of the
poster, which was. In fact, that of the
conventional trince' of musical com

of silk-encased limbs.
- "Let's send for Miss de Lancy and
ee If we .can't fix It up," a commit
teeman suggested, and this was done.
' Now, besides being good nature
Miss de Lancy. Is high-spirited, and
rather thought that the costume which
had been good enough for her to ap
jpear in for some hundreds of times in
N ew York would do for one appear

"There la no use talking," she an
nounced with decision, 'Til appear In

" There are flvi tlmea as many peo
ple In England reading Jooks:aa there
were, before the war, according to Sir
Eruest Williams,' one of the foremost
publishers of London, He says war
has taught the people there the value
of books, and shown them the Joy of
reading. When air raids were numer
ous and all social activities stopped,
.there still remained the Inner room,
the light : and books. There was a
quick demand ; developed for light
reading, but It1 has -changed and grown
so that now the best books-are most
in demand. When air raids were ended
and lightS4and social activities were
used again, the habit of reading was
continued and has grown rapidly the
past year. : - ''r'v .. -.
There Is an.'. Insistent demand, this
publisher says, for books that deal
with real life. It Is his belief that
out of 1he experiences of war has
been born a deeper appreciation of life
and understanding of how tremendous
ly worth living it Is. On this new con
sciousness he bases the demand for
i books that deal sincerely with prob
lems of life. Ohio State Journal.

ISLAND SAVED BY WOMEN
How the Female Population of Helgo
land Upset' Calculations of
Danish Admiral.
Helgoland, the naval wall flower
during the World war, had Us fate
decided, upon one memorable occasion,
by the women of the Island, according
to a bulletin of the National Geograph
ic society. . About the time William
Penn was settling Pennsylvania a
Danish adralrn.1 captured the Island's
fishermen one night while -they were
placlug their nets. ' He threatened
to bold them as hostages nntll the
Island surrendered to Denmark.
Wives, mothers and sisters arose and
forced the Danish garrison to- re
linquish any claim upon Helgoland.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries Helgoland was a center of
the Nofth see herring fisheries. Then
herrify veered back to ' Scotland's
coast and the Islanders hnnded down
a tale of the Imnlerv br which they
forfeited the boon. Until a few years ;
ago horses were unknown to the Is
land. One story has It that when an
old woman saw an Englishman ride
ap the hills she dropped dead from
the shock of what she believed waa
a supernatural creature.
