THE ATLANTA SEMT-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1913.
I almost always enjoy the Levies'
Home Journel, but the August number
has several things in it that are worth
the price for a year.
I have been called strict and cranky
because. I have tried to show some of
the mothers where the free and easy
ways of life lead. Nobody enjoys so
ciety, neighbors and freedom from stiff
ness any mor ethan I do, but to see a
man catch a girl, or two girls around
the waist and the three breast the
waves is a little too much. The first
etep from modesty is taken and the
downward path is easier than many
mothers think. The pictures in the last
issue of the magazine are not imagi
nary. They might be taken as fair
samples of swimming places nearer our
hum#s than Atlantic City, or Rockaway,
or wherever they did come from. Its a
pity, but its true that there must al
ways be policemen to make people de
cent. Only a short time ago I was In
a park with Mary Elizabeth and some
others and we saw a young man and a
girl strolling along the path with their
arms around each other. They thought
nobody knew them and that made it
all right. As a matter of fact it had
nothing to do with it Three little
boys came along and hooted and jeered
to thedr hearts content Two little
girls passed and turned their eyes the
other way. On the minds of the five
children was left a stain. And, to me,
the mothers of the girl and man were
largely responsible. Do you think they
taught their children the fundamental
truths as carefully as they should
have done? Did they commence early
enough? Certainly there are exceptions
to all rules. There may be black sheep
in .almost every flock, but when one
hears a mother say to her little daugh
ter, "Kiss Jamie, he is your little
sweetheart,” she then and there sows
the seed 'of immorality. The children
get the idea that there may be very
easy manners between so-called sweet
hearts, and as they grow up the silken
cord of dalliance becomes a heavy chain
of bad habits.
In this same August number is a fine
article by a plain country woman. Would
that the world had a million exactly like
her. She truly says that grown folks
have no idea of childhood. The mother
especially is building more than the one
edifice of hef* own child’s character.
Somebody asked a noted educator at
what age should a child’s mind be taken
in hand. “Ten generations before he is
born,” was the emphatic answer. Char
acteristics crop out and dispositions be
gin to show traits of ancestors long ago
forgotten. One is a coward who fears
to face evil tendencies and tries to shift
the blame on other shoulders by saying,
“There is no use to try to change Harry.
He is his Uncle Joseph over again.”
Seeing the tendency is like smelling
emoke hunt the flame ere it gets beyond
you and getting it under control. I
know a mother whose boy six years old
gives way to paroxysms of rage. He
tears his sleeve or handkerchief with
his teeth, lies on the floor and kicks his
heels against it, or beats his fists until
they are blue. “Would you whip him?”
you ask. I don’t know what I would
have done when that temper first
showed itself. A very small thing
might then have stopped it. I think
many a child is not judiciously handled
at the beginning. Now I would take
him to a really thoughtful doctor and
see if it is an organic trouble of any
sort, and then' when the tantrum, as
they call it, comes I would know how to
handle him. For mere temper I would
turn the hose on him—a dash of cold
water is good for fighting dogs and bad
children. I knew a boy six years old
who had tantrums thatturned out to be
epilepsy. The question was never set
tled in my mind how much the teasing
a certain uncle gave him, to see him
rage, had to do with the development of
the disease. We so often shirk duties
because we know that the same thing
must be done over and over, “line upon
line, precept upon precept.” and the ex
amples must not be contradictions.
The idea of shielding children from
hard work is just what it should be,
but one’s love should not tempt one to
gratify every whim the child has. An
idle brain is occupied by Satan we are
told. So the better plan, it seems to
me, is for the little tot’s brain to be
filled with beautiful thoughts, and its
little hands and feet be put Into loving
service. It is not the work itself, if
not too heavy, that is wrong. It is the
way the mind’s eye looks at it. It is
the choice of occupations to’show what
is hard work and wiiat is really merely

Compound.
Windcir; Kansas. — * ‘’I had a displace
ment which caused bladder trouble and
I was so miserable
I didn’t know what
pleasant exercise. I heard two old la
dies, both in their “seventies,” trying to
convice each other about their favorite
occupations. One_has fine chickens and
does all the work herself, the other has
a Jersey and contends that her work is
not half as hard or unpleasant as the
chickens. Its all in the way one looks
at it. Do you remember that splentfid
book, ‘The Crown of Wild Olive?” Ruskin
says, “And depend upon it, all work
must be done at last, not in a disorder
ly, scrambling, doggish way, but in an
orderly, soldierly human way—a lawful
way.”
Men are enlisted for the labor that
kills—the labor of war; they are count
ed, trained, fed, dressed and praised for
that. Let them be enlisted also for the
labor that feeds; let them be counted,
trained, fed, dressed, praised for that.
Teach the plow exercise as carefully as
you do the sword exercise.”
Teaen your children that one cannot
have all that the eyes see or the heart
craves, that labor, honest endeavor, even
if salted wtih tears; must be the price
paid for the things, that count. That
the real gentleman or lady does not ac
cept money or gifts, except oi) rare occa
sions, that the things that seemingly
come easily often have a price that calls
for self respeett’s loss and a spoiled fu
ture. Teach your little child to say,
“No thank you,” when strangers want
to give them money or fruit. Many a
downward road would be blocked if such
had been the hhbit of some that now
are lost to their homes and themselves.
“She’s so little, wait until she gets older
to teach self denial,” I heard lately. Not
a week later a neighbor asked, the moth
er to please keep that little girl at home,
as she was teaching her son to steal.
Don’t imagine that all the command
ments or precepts you may try to drill
into your child will nullify your exam
ple. The story you tell the conductor
about its age, or the miscount in things
brought from the grocer's cannot escape
the clear eyes of childhood. So let your
path really be as straight as the one
you would like for yqur children to
think you are walking. “Don’t talk big.
and act little,” was the advice an old
darky gave her young master. Don’t—
but what’s the use to say more? Let’s
all of us do our very best and, in that
way help the world.
Faithfully yours,

THE EVENING STORY
(Copyright, 1913, by W. Werner.)
It is almost the very minute of clos- show with him and Fred and me?”
ing time and Hilda was flurried by
the two insistent customers who de
manded attention At the same time.
IT HAD BEEN HARD ENOUGH LIV
ING ON HER SALARY.
Hilda was sitting wearily in the
ramshackle rocker. At Edith’s ques
tion she began to cry. “Go to a the
atre?” she sobbed. “In a forty-nine-
cent shirt waist and a patched black
skirt? I wish I was dead! And I’ll never
get that $18!”
Edith’s eyes blurred in sympathy.
“I wish—” There was a knock at the
door and she said: “Come in.”
Hilda did not look up. She supposed
that it was the girl who had the next
room. She was a pretty gay little
thing, whose excellent salary as sten
ographer in a bank made their own
seem less.
“Alf!” cried Eidith gayly. “When did
you get hack in town? And how’s the
folks out in Nebraska?”
“Fine,” he answered.
Hilda was furious. With -her red
eyes and mussed hair! She acknowl
edged the introduction without raising
her eyes.
Alf delivered a cake and some jelly
that Edith’s aunt had sent her: And
then he said abrubtly: “I got hold of
something the night I left here that 1
don’t know how to get rid of. So I
came around to see if you could tell
me. »I was in an awful rush, and my
last collar button broke. 1
Hilda looked up and recognized him.
“Then it was you!” she cried.
“And it was you!” he replied in turn.
He pulled out the pearl pin with a
laugh. “I never looked at the pack
age till I was on the train. Just shoved
it Into my pocket. And then, to save
my life, I couldn’t remember what
store I had been in. You know all thos
department stores in a row look alike
to a fellow. I’ve been to two this aft
ernoon and no one seemed to remember.

‘WHEN
For an hour a stout, important woman
in green broadcloth ana sealskin had
wavered betwen two expensive pearl
brooches. Then a thin young fellow in
a low visored cap had rushed up for
collar buttons. He didn’t care what
kind nor price so long as he got them
quickly. The other salesgirls* already
had tossed black sateen aprons to the
shelves behind the counter and were
filing to the time clock. The cashier in
the booth above was anxious to get
away. She hastily wrapped up the two
small articles, tossed them and the
change to Hilda and scooted. Hilda
passed them over to the impatient cus
tomers, who hurried out.
Two minutes later, when she was
hurrying out herself, she had a sud
den fear that the package handed to
the man had not been flat, as though
It held a card of collar buttons. She
shivered, but it was too late then to
make sure. And she tried to persuade
herself that she merely was imagin
ing trouble, a habit that she had ac
quired lately. She ate dinner in the
small cafe near her rooming house with
out much appetite. It was not a pleas
ant cafq, but it was near by and cheap,
two items that counted heavily when a
girl was tired out at night and only
able to spend a certain sum for a meal,
no matter what her appetite or fancy.
Afterward she mended stockings and
waists in the small room that she
shared with a girl who worked at a
telephone exchange. Edith worked
nights and slept days, so the arrange
ment was convenient for both.
But this night Edith was not work
ing. She had a day shift for a while.
She was a tall, rather flashy girl. Hil
da, of a demurer type, liked her and
disapproved of her.
“I was going to a dance tonight,” Ed
ith yawned. “But Alf—he’s a ninth
cousin—was called out of town. You
could have gone along.”
Hilda shook her head. She liked Ed
ith. but she didn’t like the style of
young men whom Edith affected. Most
ly loud, with a free and easy address
tnat made her uncomfortable. Besides
she had no clothes that by any ingenu
ity could be made suitable for a dance.
Black serge skirts and plain shirt
waists were all that her salary yield
ed, and even those took careful plan
ning.
In the morning she awoke with a
vague sense of something uncomforta
ble hanging over her, but she did not
remember until she had punched the : ...
time clock and picked up the check- , ion of a national Catholic Women s
book. And then she was too busy ar-j * ea ffue and an address by T. B. Min

Israel finally made a get-away. Un
der the urgent appeal of the Egyptians,
offering them anything they had if
Israel would but leave before all of the
Egyptians had been killed, they spoiled
the Egyptians, taking jewels of gold
and silver, embroideries, rich vestments,
and everything- that a highly developed
^civilization might have in its posses
sion. They were hurried off so by the
Egyptians that they had no time to
complete their baking, so they gathered
up the unleavened dough in their knead
ing troughs, placed them on their backs,
and started for the three days’ jour
ney into the wilderness where they
might sacrifice to Jehovah their God.
It did not take Pharoah any longer
than that to realize that from a po
litical point of view he had acted very
unwisely. His advisers only accentu
ated this thought, for they reminded
him what a valuable asset these numer
ous slaves were, particularly in his
building operations. Accordingly he
summoned his army, put them in line
of march, and pursued after the Israel
ites. They had at least three days’
start of him; but it would not take
him long to overcome that handicap; for
they were more numerous and must
march more slowly, while his men.
mounted and without such impediments,
ccul<l travel twice as rapidly.
Let us join the departing Israelites
for the time. There is abounding Joy
amongst them. They have been libera
ted from the bondage of Egypt; no
more bricks to make, no more tasks to
be performed, nor any more beatings
by overbearing overseers if the tasks
are not completed by the close of the
day. Fathers and mothers, young men
and maidens, boys and girls, old people
—in one and all is the spirit of re
joicing. They are in an exultant mood.
Besides all this they are in possession
of more wealth than they had ever
hoped to have owned.
There was one among them whose
joy was greater than all of the others,
but it made him quiet and calm. Mo
ses was beginning to realize that for
which he had made a sacrifice of what
men count everything. Forty years or
more before, he had been offered the
kingdom of Egypt. He had declined the
offer and had chosen the lot of these
people, for he had an overpowering con
viction that God had miraculously
spared his life and given him the un
usual advantages that were his for a
definite purpose—that he might lead
the people into the land of promise. His
hopes had been crushed, and he had
almost despaired of ever attaining his
great desire until recently, when he
had the strange vision in the bush. And
now that he is realizing his life dream,
he is filled with joy. He doesn’t say
much, his heart is too full; but he is
happy and quiet.
In one part of the column is a
strange thing. It is an Egyptian sar
cophagus containing the remains of Jo
seph. Nearly 400 years before, when
he died, he extracted a promise of his
children that when God led them out
of Egypt and back to the land He had
given to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob,
and to their seed after them, they would
take his remains with them and let
them rest in his native sod. This was
the sublime act of faith on his part, the
greatest evidence of his belief in God’s
carrying out His promises. During all
that time they had been a constant wit
ness to the succeeding generations, and
an inspirer of hope to them that they
might possibly realize the promises in
their lives. By their presence now in
the line of march they bore testimony
to the faith of the people in the prom
ises of God and expressed Israel's as
surance that He would bring them
safely in to the land of their fathers.
That sarcophagus was the tangible ex
pression of their faith in God and
their hope in His promises.
Itwas a motley crowd. There was no
orderliness about it. Men, women, chil
dren, goats, sheep, cattle, all mixed to
gether. There were 600,000 men, which
means that there were between 2,000,-
000 and 3,000,000 people in all. (A re
cent writer, Dr. Hoskins, had estimated
the total number at only 100,000, basing
his theory on two things—the similar
ity of the Hebrew word for “thousand”
and “clan,” and his own observations,
after following the route of the exodus,
that a larger company than this could
not have been maintained because of
•the present water supply. There are
better reasons for retaining the other
number.)
Practically all of them had been
slaves all of their lives, and had never
been out of a very limited area. Can
you imagine how such a crowd would
a*ct under the circumstances? Stop and
think it over. You can enter some*
what into the problem Moses had con
fronting him.
But there was something stranger
than all else in*this line of march. At
the very head of it was a cloud, more
brilliant than any ever seen in the sky
that moved before them in the daytime,
and rested at night. Moreover at night
Its brilliancy increased so that they
were constantly in the light. The lum
inosity of the cloud was not that of
reflection; it came from within. It was
the manifestation of the Divine Pres
ence leading them and illuminating
their way.
ISRAEL'S DISTRESS.
The cloud led them in a direction north
by east from Rameses to Succoth, from
Succoth to Etham. This was along the
route that led from Egypt through Pal
estine to Assyria by way of the Philis
tines. But now a strange thing occurred;
the Lord told Moses to direct them to
turn to the south and east and encamp
by the sea The cloud led them in that
direction until they came to the sea coast.
Here they camped with the sea in front
of them, and oh either side precipitous
mountains. It was in this position that
they heard rumors that troubled them
greatly. Pharaoh and his warriors were
pursuing them and soon they realized
that the rumors were true, for they could
see the dust of his chariots and hear the
noise of the onward march of the army.
They were encumbered with children, cat
tle and luggage. The women, at least
some of them, would be panicky. It was
desirable that those who were not should

were in the bottom of a sack, and
Pharaoh ha(I pulled the drawstring
around the neck. Flight pr fight—both
seemed impossible.
Their only avenue of expression was
complaint. Their exuberant joy had com
pletely changed. They were filled with
fear. In their great fear they cried out
to Jehovah—but He had heard them be
fore they called. They turned against
Moses. Why did you ever bring us out
of Egypt? Are there not graves in Egypt,
and there are none in this wilderness. If
we have to die, we had rather be buried
decently in Egypt than have our bones
bleach In the winderness. Didn’t we tell
you before we left it would be this way?
Didn’t we tell you it would be better to

A DAY’S OUTING.
Dear Miss Thomas: I know that you are al
ways pleased to learn that your words have
helped brighten a life. Many a Chat has
seemed written for mv especial benefit Yes
terday, as I was getting dinner, and wondering
what on earth I could do to tempt the children
to eat, I suddenly thought of your love of na
ture and how many times you have almost
begged the parents among your readers to give
themselves and their children outings. The
thought was like an inspiration; I immediately
“scrapped up” a dinner and at the table told
the family of my idea. Even staid old Jesse
was pleased and we flew around and sliced
bread, stirred up a quick enk?, boiled eggs and
put things together In no time. Then we fed
Hie chickens, milked the cow. nut the dog’s
hread where he could get it. and climbed into
our Surry and went four miles from home. We
had lemons and sugar and the cool spring water
made fine lemonade.
The moon was Just right - and we let the
children run and race to their heart’s content.
I forgot to say that I phoned my nearest neigh
bor and ll’iit family joined us. This gave
pleasure to all of us and helped the children
learn a lesson in giving pleasure to others. It
was 9 o’clock when we got home, the children
were “dead tired”, the babies fast asleep, but
there was not a cross wort and this morning
every one had a pleasant memory, and some
thing funny to tell.
Our plan is to get off at least once a week,

a cent spent that wouldn’t have been spent
for the ordinarw meals, or between meals, and
everything tasted good. Don’t think your fam
used in my sandwiches. The children—in fact,
all of us had such a good time that I felt as if
I must thank you. We said Inst night that
all we lacked was having you with us. Can’t
you come to see us one of these days?
Sincerely,

"See Naples and Die”
(Ed W. Howe in his Travel Notes.)
The famous expression, “See Naples and die,”
Is founded on a play on words. The saying,
“All quiet on the Potomac,” Is known only in
the United States. “See Naples and die” is
international. But it does not mean what it
appears to mean. In the Bay of Naples there
Is an island called Morreai, which, in Italian,
means something connected with death. The
original saying was “See Naples and Morreai,”
but in a spirit of levity the English trans
lated the saying, “See Naples and die.”
i coldly ordered Hilda.
“Indeed, not!” storriieo the woman.
“I bought that to wear last night. Now,
I want the money.”
“Very well,” said Herrimon. He
took her around to the chief cashier
and made out a slip of credit entitling
her to the money. Then he returned
to Hilda, who stammeringly tried to ex
plain how she had made the mistake.
But there was really no explanation.
She stammmered into abashed silence
ueioi’e his scornful eyes.
“We can’t afford to lose over em
ployes’ unmitigated carelessness,” he
said, coldly. “We expect you to make
up the $18, unless the other customer
returns the pin, which is very improb
able. You better go up to the main
office and arrange the matter.”
The other girls listened in awed sym
pathy. Strictly speaking, it was care
lessness, but each one had a dread
vision of the same mistake occurring
to herself. One could never tell what
would happen.
In the main office they allowed Hilda
a month to make up the cost of the
pin. She came down dazed. It had
been hard enough liying on her salary.
This would be almost impossible.
“Maybe the fellow that got it will
come back,” the other girls tried to
comfort her.
“Maybe,” she agreed drearily, but she
had a grim conviction that he would
not. She remembered him fairly well.
He was young, with shrewd black eyes
and a thin olive face. And he had
smiled pleasantly when he asked her
to hurry. She would know him again.
He did not coihe back. Hilda’s face,
always delicate and white, grew drawn.
Edith would have loaned her the money
in a minute, but Edith had had tonsoli-
tis, had been out of work for two
weeks, and had a doctor to pay. Hilda’s
parents were dead. She had been the
only child. There was no one to whom
she could go. Herrimon glared at her
whenever he passed. A Slack month
of the year was coming, when there
would be a general laying off. She was
pretty sure that her name was slated.
“I wish I could help you,” Edith
mourned every night. “Gee! It’s tough
to be poor. But believe me, I plant a
dollar a week after this, instead of
letting it trickle. There’s that last
dress I bought for that dance. And
then Alf didn’t take me. I could have
had that $8. Say, Hilda, Alf wants to
meet you. He likes your style. I told
him you had gray-blue eyes and black
hair. And he got a glimpse of you one
night as you passed us on the street.
When he comes back will you go to a
nite organization. Mis Elizabeth Mar
shall, of Milwaukee, has been mention
ed as the first president of the new
league.
In accordance with the wishes of
Archbishop S. G. Messmer, the women,
it is predicted, will bar suffrage from
the discussions of the league.
