New York, Sept. 3. Here is more and
drastic refutation of those who claim
New York heartless and not given to
helping out a neighbor. A sizeable
and weary family walked into the sub
way train Sunday evening, evidently
returning home from an all-day visit
somewhere. Father, mother, and four
children, they were, and the youngest
was a babe In arms. The baby began
to cry loudly and resentfully. A
young man across the aisle decided to
try amusing it by making faces. It
worked! The infant stopped almost
instantly and smiled through its tears.
In a few minutes, the amiable young
man turned to continue a conversation
he had been holding with his compan
ion. The baby opened its mouth once
more and howled. Whereupon the
mother leaned across "Young man," she
said, "Will you please make funny
faces at the baby for the sake of the
get off at the next station." So un
til the next station was reached, the
poor youth leaned forward and made
faces ta the baby for the sake of the
tired mother and the whole carload of
peace-desiring people.
Candles real candles, not electric imi
tations are back! Dealers say the de
mand for them in New York has in
creased 200 per cent in the last four
years and a large part of that in
crease has come, in recent months. The
reason? No one knows. Maybe our
lighting methods have been made so
perfect that nothing was left for the
ambitious-to-be-different hostess except
to go back to primitive ways. The
newest fashionably furnished apart
ments are being fitted with candleabra
holding real candles; they appear on
the table at the head of the bed in the
I smartest hotels; and you find th?m
completely supplanting the brilliant
electric lighting at dinner parties.

"STEALING HOME"
A I'niversal Comedy
It's one thing to wear short skirts
because one wants to and quite an
other to go through the streets with
one's ears showing and one's head
naked. That is a matter which noth
ing but bright, cheery cash can com
pensate. Therefore, Miss Alice Bloom,
model and former actress, sued George
L. Triffon for $125 the other day and
finally settled "for $50. It seems that
Miss Bloom's beauty doctor told her
it would be a grand thing for her gol
den locks if she cut them off tight,
shaved them off in fact. She did and
w-ore a lovely wig to cover the deficit.
One nice August day, she joined a sail
ing party up the Hudson on Mr. Triff
on's yacht, and because it was such a
warm evening, she went into a cabin
and toon off her adjustable tresses for
a few minutes. Tragic few minutes!
They were long enough to get the wig
into the possession of Gyp, Mr. Triffon's
pet terrier. When Miss Bloom had cool
ed her head and prepared to deck her
self once more in curls, the storm
broke. But there was nothing to be
done about it then, and the poor girl
had to go ashore without her hat as
well as without her hair, because it
was four sizes too big under the new
circumstances. The suit against Mr.
Triffon resulted.
The only remaining relic in New York
City of the days when we were sub
jects of the British throne is the crest
of the Prince of Wales carved in wood
over the pulpit of old St. Paul's, in
lower Broadway. The famous three
feathers were placed there a century
and a half ago. when prayers were said
there for the King and royal family, as
they are now for the welfare of the
President and other constituted au
thorities of the Republic.
Marcus Loew opened his costliest and
finest theater the other night; The State
in the new Loew building, Broadway
and Forty-fifth street. It will have
continuous performances of vaudeville
and motion pictures, as in the other
Loew theaters. Over 150 stage and
screen stars gathered for the opening.
The conductor on one of the New
York Central commuting trains has
been bringing to a crisis one way or
another all of the young women com
muters who have been hesitating over
the moot question of bobbing their hair.
Orders have gone forth requiring pho
tographs on all commutation tickets.
"So I've warned the girls," explained
the conductor, "that they've got to de
cide right now before the new rules go
on whether or not they're going to
bob their hair within the next year. If
they get an unbobbed picture taken and
then bob their hair, they won't look the
same and I can't let 'em ride. And
the "photo's got. to do for a year."
"Six Cylinder Love," in which Ernest
Truex is 3tarring at the Sam H. Harris
theater, is predicted by the critics to be
in for a. solid year or two of New York
run. It is generally picked as the hit
of the new season to date.

Esy MRS.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young girl seventeen years of age and
am considered good looking. 1 have
been going with a fellow eighteen. I
liked him very much and he always
acted as though he cared for me. He
went to camp for a month. Since he
has been gone I have met another
whom I think I like better. He is
twenty years of age and has a good
reputation, but most of the beys dis
like him, as he is always so socer
and never acts as they do. He is
very nice andi never makes love to
me as other boys have done.
My folks think I ought to wait un
til my other fellow comer, back and
not go with this one, but I don't see
how I can wait, as I love this one sr.
much better. I don't 'Lie to disap
point mi) parents by going with him.
Do you think it would be right to go
with this boy while the other one is
cone and then when he gets back go
with him? BRIGHT EYES.
In my opinion it would be all right
for you to have both the bovs as
friends. Both you and they are too
too young to be serious and think of
marriage. Perhaps if you make your
parents understand that neither is more
than a friend tney win consent to your
(1 I71BFTH EL THOMPSON
out her and even take an interest in
other girls.
Once a week is not too often for you
to see the girl to whom you are en
gaged. You are very moderate in your
demands on her time. If .she and her
parents object to a call once a week
you may be sure that your case with
the girl is hopeless. ,
The sooner you give her up and ad
just your mind to the separation, the
happier you will be.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
fourteen years old and will be a fresh
man in high school. I would be delight
ed if I could be a school teacher, but
my father does not want me to be so
because it tosts too much. How much
would I have to go to school? Could
it be a short period? FANNY.
Talk to the principal of the high
school and he may be able to give you
arguments that will convince your fa
ther that it is best for you to follow
your inclination to teach school. You
will have to attend high school and
then normal school. During that time.
however, you may be able to help your
father by earning a little money yourself.
STRANDED ARE SAVED
BY STATE WORKERS
New Orleans, Sept. 3.- Eight em
ployes of the Louisiana state depart
ment of conservation recently assigned
to the task of rescueing stranded fish
have already rescued more than 1,000,
000 fine game fish in the 400 miles of
streams covered by them between St.
Joseph and New Orleans, according to
reports made to M. L. Alexander, com
missioner in crarge of the depart
ment. Thousands of fish, many of them the
finest game fish to be found anywhere,
were left stranded by the receding wa
ter in shallow pools and pits, where
the hot summer sun would soon kill
them unless they are removed to live
streams.
Black bass, bream, crappie and other
sunflsh, small bass or perch, buffalo
and catfish make up the bulk of the
stranded victims rescued from the pools
lor the hooks of Louisiana's fishermen.
I
keeping both.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young
man of twenty-five. I have a girl with
whom I have been going for the last
two years. I did not love her I stall
ed going with her because we were
neighbors and school mates, but we
got" to corresponding when I was over
seas. ,
We stopped going together for a few
months, because she talked about me.
Later she wrote me to come back and
asketd me to forgive her.
Later we became engaged, but her
father and mother did not want her
to marry and discouraged her. Her
parents always treat me with respect
when I am around.
She goes with other boys some and
at times seems to think the more boy
friends she has the better she likes
it. She has been corresponding with
two young men and one of them she
never saw. This I do not like and
tell her she is wrong, but she thinks
not.
I had a girl friend with whom I was
going and she said I must stop. We
get along very well, but sometimes
she talks mean to me and I hate a
quarrel. I beg" her not to talk mean
to me, but I can't get her to stop.
Do you think that we should discon
tinue our friendship or continue? I
love her so much I don't see how I
can give her up. She seems to be
lieve we can't get along, but I am
sure we can.
Her parents say that I go to see her
too often. I have gone once a week
for quite a while, but am willing to
stop part of it. I may be wrong, but
I think as long as we do nothing that is
wrong there is no harm in seeing
each other that often. What do you
think? - G-
If the girl really loved you she
would treat you with more considera
tion. I think you are wasting time to
try to make her more considerate. A
girl who is unkind to you before mar
riage would be doubly so afterward. My
advice is to let her go and try to find
another girl. You feel very much , in
love at present, but time and separation
will prove that you can get along with-
