DON'T FORGET THIS
Their
Wedding Day
By
MARY JAMES
(Copyright. 1916, by W. O. Chapman.)
Jim and Dolly were off at last. The
train was moving, and there was
nothing to do except furtively pick up
the grains of rice that they occasion
ally found'about their clothing. Dolly
leaned back in perfect bliss against
Jim’s shoulder.
"Are you entirely satisfied and hap
py, dear?” she asked.
- “Yes,” said Jim. "There’s only one
thing wanting to make this perfect
bliss.”
“What is it?”
“Will Lennox always said he’d be
my best man, and I was to be his. If
he hadn’t been sent to Baltimore last
year he’d have acted for me, I know.”
“But couldn’t he have come up from
Baltimore, dear?” asked Dolly.
“I don’t know—perhaps he couldn’t
get away,” answered Jim.
Hours afterward they reached their
destination. Jim proudly signed “Mr.
and Mrs.” on the register, and they
were shown up to their apartment,
after dinner.
“Dearest,” said Jim suddenly,
“would you mind if I went down and
got a cigar? You know you told me I
was to smoke.”
“Of course not, Jim,” answered Dol
ly. Nevertheless, when he had gone
she felt horribly lonely in the apart
ment, with magnificent furnish
ings. She waked and waited. Jim
must be very careful about choosing
“How Dare You!"
a cigar, she thought. Then she be
came uneasy and paced the floor. At
last, with a foolish, panicky feeling,
she went down in the elevator and
looked for Jim in the hall. Jim was
nowhere to be seen.
“Your husband’s just gone up,
madam,” said the hotel clerk.
Dolly thanked him. She felt foolish
to think that she had passed Jim iu
the elevator. She hurried to the door
and was soon taken up again. She
opened the door of her room.
“Darling!” exclaimed a manly
voice, and she was folded into the
arms of —a stranger!
Dolly screamed, and the stranger’s
face blank astonishment.
He was a good-looking young man,
and it was clear he had not meant to
embrace the wrong girl. Still —
“How dare you! What are you do
ing in our apartment?” cried Dolly.
And suddenly she became hideously
aware that it was not her apartment.
The furniture looked very much the
same, but —well, it wasn’t. The pa
per was a thin black and a thick white
stripe, instead of vice versa. And the
hat on the table couldn’t be hers —she
detested artificial flowers.
Dolly, unable to speak, fled, while
the stranger followed her in hesita
tion, as if afraid to make a sugges
tion. At the entrance to the elevator
Dolly saw what was wrong. She had
been taken up to the sixth story in
stead of the seventh!
She got into the elevator, and, as
it shot up, she perceived the stranger
making for the stairs. With a dread
ful fear that he was going to try to
cut off her flight, she fairly ran along
the corridor of the story above. She
burst into the room.
“Darling!” she heard a manly voice
exclaim to a girl who was just enter
ing the room. And, looking up, she
was horrified to see Jim folding an
other girl in his arms.
Dolly screamed, but her scream was
not so loud as that of the other girl.
She' wriggled out of Jim’s arms and
confronted him indignantly.
“How dare you! How dare you!”
she cried in fury, while her face grew
scarlet. “And what are you doing in
my apartment?”
“I —I —I —” Jim began to stammer;
and then he caught sight of Dolly.
“How dare you invite that woman
In here and kiss her?” Dolly demand
ed, crying passionately.
“It was a mistake. It—”
“It wasn’t a mistake!” Dolly main
tained. “You got me to go to the
THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA.
wrong toom so that you could kis»
this—•”
“How dare you speak of me like
that!” demauded the other girl. “Get
out of here, both of you, or I shall
telephone for the police. I never
heard of such a thing.”
"It is our apartment,” declared Jim
hotly. “I thought you were my wife
and when you came in I naturally
threw my arms around you.”
The girl stared about her h» be
wilderment, and, just as Dolly had
felt, so she began to feel as the real
ization dawned on her that she was
in the wrong room. The hat on the
table—Dolly’s hat —was certainly not
hers, for she detested plumes.
“Then where’s my husband?” she
demanded, turning upon Jim with
clenched fists. “What have you pair
of conspirators done with him?”
“llow dare you speak like that to
my husband?” demanded Dolly, real
izing how wrong she had been.
“Will! Will! Help!” the girl began
to scream.
As if in immediate answer tl\e
young man who had kissed Dolly burst
into the room. He seemed to size up
the situation instantly. He caught the
first thing handy, which was a hair
brush, and flung it at Jim. Jim went
toppling backward; then he snatched
up the first thing that he could find,
which happened to he the soap, and
flung it at his opponent. It struck him
in the mouth. The young man dashed
for Jim and the two clinched, while
the girls screamed.
Shouts were heard outside, and the
hotel clerk appeared. “It's my mis
take,” he panted. “I got the rooms
mixed up. Gentlemen—gentlemen—”
The gentlemen paused in the midst
of their battle and, realizing what had
happened, looked sheepish. Suddenly
a light broke out upon each facYe.
“It’s Jim Yance!”
“It’s Will Lennox!”
“You scoundrel! Why didn’t you
answer my invitation to be my best
man?”
“How in thunder could I be a best
man when I was getting married the
same day?”
“I’m sorry, Will. I guess I got a lit
tle excited on my wedding dqy.”
“Same here, Jim, old man."
The clerk retired, grinning and re
lieved. The ladies adjusted their hair,
and suddenly all four were wreathed
in smiles. Then there were mutual
handshakes, and the ladies embraced.
Will turned to Jim with a grin.
“Say, old man, I’ve put one over on
you, anyway,” he said. “I kissed your
wife.”
“Same here,” said Jim.
"You did not!” declared Mrs. Len
nox, flushing scarlet. “You tried to,
but I wouldn’t let you.”
“Well, I’m going to now,” said Jim
—and did. And Dolly did not care.
For, when their friends had departed,
she snuggled upon her husband’s knee
and they made up for it.
LOST CITY OF THE INCAS
Machu Piciiflu Has Outlook That Is
Enjoyed 4>y Few Other Places
M the Earth.
The Incas, Using the word broadly,
showed an fttraordinary liking for
building on spots where they hod an
unbroken out’ook over all the sur
rounding world. Lovers of nature, per
haps, they were, above all, practical
fellows, moved less by esthetic rea
sons than by an overwhelming dislike
to being awakened from the afternoon
siesta by a well-aimed bowlder.
Yet had their only quest been unri
valed situations, that of Machu Pic
chu could scarcely have been improved
upon, a writer in the Century observes.
The earth offers few such views as
that from the intihuatana at the top
of the town.
The altitude of the city is put at
8,500 feet, and that of the river 6,500,
yet it is surprising how clearly, if
hushed, the roar of the river comes un
brokenly up the 2,000 sheer feet to the
invulnerable city.
Utterly unpeopled, the visible world
is one tumbled mass of gigantic forest
clad mountains, rolling away to inac
cessible distance-blue ranges rising
afar off to snow-capped crests mingled
with the sky ; not the haggard and ster
ile Andes of elsewhere, but softened
forms so densely wooded that nowhere
Is a spot of earth visible.
Swing round the circle, and on the
other side the gaze falls precipitously
into the Urubamba. Three great blue
ranges rise one behind the other, grow
ing from blue to purple farther off, the
central Cordilleras shutting off all the
world beyond, seemingly near at hand,
yet only a week of hard travel would
attain it.
In another direction the rolling
ranges, faded to purple, die enticingly
away one behind another into the great
montana and the region of the Ama
zon, while masses of pure white
clouds .come majestically up out of
Brazil beyond.
Not So Bad as It Seemed.
It sounded like a small revolution,
but the sophisticated Topekans on the
outside of the shoe-shining shop con
cluded it was only a riot among the
Greeks, and they felt sure the police
could handle it without the aid of the
militia. There were six or seven of
them, headed by a particularly fierce
looking Athenian, who gesticulated
wildly and seemed about to strike his
opponent with his fist. A bystander
dashed away to call the police and
prevent bloodshed. Just then one of
the rioters came outside and was asked
what the row was about.
“Alexipolos say he believe he’ll buy
a shoe-shine shop,” he explained. “We
all say it’s a good thing—make £ood
money. Go ahead.” —Kansas City Star.
1116 TODAY’S
BOYS AND GIRLS
Child Should Know That Minutes
Make Hours.
WATCHES FOR OLDER ONES
Punishing Them for Being Late Does
Not Help Them Acquire the
“Time Sense” That Is So
Important.
By SI DON I E M. GRUENBERG.
AS I was leaving the house to
keep a dinner engagement a
neighbor with her little boy
came along, the mother greatly
agitated and the child only’ slightly
perturbed.
The mother was speaking. “Now
you'll have to go to bed without sup
per, as you did last night. I will not
have you coming home so late.”
And the kj|l protested: “I didn't
know it was'flfPfate. I meant to come
home early. t .
The next! Hpwhen I met my neigh
bor in a ca'i.i'lr mood, she felt that
she had to explain the scene of the
previous evening. She always lets her
children go out unattended; she ex
pects them to learn how to take care
of themselves. Aud she punishes
them if they come home late; she ex
pects them thus to learn to know time
and the value of time.
There is no doubt that in the course
of months or of years those children
will learn to come home betimes and
to keep engagements through the
method pursued by their mother. But
I wondered whether the same results
could not be attained without the irri
tations and ill-feeling that this method
seemed to bring forth. The method
of rewards aud punishments is ttie
most ancient one, and has produced
valuable results. But it is in many
ways crude as well as ancient, and it
is certainly not universally the best.
I asked the mother whether the child
had a watch or any other means of
knowing the time. “No,” she said; “he
is too careless to have a watch. If

Time to Time.
he had one I’m sure he would forget
to wind it or he would get f out of
order in a week.
“Is It fair,” I asked her, “to expect
the child to know what time it is when
he has no means of finding out? I
wonder how many adults, with all
their experience, would know that it
was time to stop when in the midst of
some interesting pastime, If they had
no outward sign or warning?”
It would seem that the burden of
responsibility for supplying the infor
mation or the- means for getting it in
a matter of this kind should be as
sumed altogether by the parent.
Where there is no public clock in the
vicinity of the children's play, ar
rangements should be made for In
forming them of the passage cf time.
We should see to it that at least one
of the children in the group has a
watch, for children that are old
enough to play without supervision are
old enough to learn how to care for a
watch, as well as how to read the j
time. They can also be taught to look
at the watch from time to time, until
they have learned to feel about how
much play they can accomplish in an
hour or in half an hour. Watches that
are sufficiently reliable for all ordinary
purposes are cheap enough nowadays, !
so that every child should have the.
advantage of owning one.
For the watch can be made a useful
instrument in the education of the
child. As soon as he is able to read
time he can become bis own time
keeper. although some children learn
this much more easily than others.
Providing some positive means for
keeping track of the passing minutes
Is a much more satisfactory way of
teaching the chibl than letting him
flounder about and then punishing him
for bis blunders. It is hard to imagifft'
the child having any feeling except
that of galling Injustice, on being de
prived of his supper for doing the most
natural thing in the world—that is,
continuing to play so long as there is
anyone to play with. It is very likely
that with most children the imposition
of a penalty in a case of this kind will
have practically no value toward the
acquisition of a “time sense,” since
children generally look upon penalties
in the light of retribution for disobe
dience. or for infraction of laws, but
seldom connect them specifically with
their shortcomings leading, to the mis
conduct. To the analytical adult mind
the purpose suggests the connection,
hut to the child’s mind the connection
is absent. *
We are not all equally endowed with
tlie “time sense,” and in some persons
it is conspicuously lacking. But a
great deal can he done to cultivate It
in the home. The most important ele
ment in this training is a regular daily
program, in which as much as possible
of the routine finds a fixed point.
Through this all the members of the
household should come to a realization
of the responsibility of each to ob
serve the program so far as it has to
do with the common activities of the
family. Being late should come to
mean an infringement upon the time
of others. We will make allowances
for delays, but we should not be made
to wait unnecessarily. This is the les-
Waiting and Losing Time Mean Noth
ing to the Child.
son that the child should learn first
of all in the matter of time and ap
pointments.
But waiting and “losing time" mean
nothing to the child until he has
learned to appreciate time for himself.
In this the watch as a marker of
time units is of great value. We ap
preciate time as the substance of life.
To tlie child it means the enjoyment
of activities and sensations that are
marked, not only by intensity but also
by duration. To enjoy the games and
the reading and the dreaming of
dreams is to live. To be able to meas
ure the duration of these things, by not
ing from time to time the passing of
an hour or two, is to learn the value
of minutes in terms of how much life
tlie minutes can yield.
Penalties aud reproofs may direct
the child’s attention to the fact that
adults attach some significance to
time. But they will not teach him to
evaluate time for himself. For this
he must have guidance and assistance
of a positive kind.
Dog Whip for Wrong Doing.
The mother of General Gorgey,
Hungary, who has just passed away
at the age of ninety-nine, brought up
her son on very Spurtan principles.
Speaking of her some time before
he died, the general said to one of
his friends:
“I was a sickly child, and she con
centrated upon me her maternal af
fection with peculiar intensity. She
determined not to kill me by pam
pering. One day, it seems, I swoon
ed. Thereupon she laid me naked in
the snow outside the door, saying, •‘if
he is to die he will die, but if he is to
live it will make him strong.’ I sur
vived and became strong.
“In my seventh year I remember
her calling me one day and saying,
‘You are now old enough to know the
difference between right and wrong.
Here is a pencil and a piece of paper.
When you do anything that you know
to be wrong, make a mark on the
paper. At the end of the week bring me
the paper. This I did and received as
many cuts with the dog whip as there
were marks on the paper.”
Gorgey spoke with the utmost af
fection of his mother.
Good Little Willie.
With a “ki-yi” and an aggravating
rattle, the scared dog shot around the
corner, a tin can hanging from the
end of its tail.
The small boy who had fixed the
tin can in its place stopped laughing
when a stern voice came to his ears.
“William!” It was his father who
spoke. “Did you tie that tin can to
the poor dog’s tail?”
Willie did some rapid thinking.
Then he replied, innocently:
“Yes, father, I did. I’m trying to
do one kind act every day, and that
dog is always chasing cats, so I tied
the tin can to its tail sojthat it would
make a noise and warn the poor little
cats.”
New Fashions.
Otto Kahn, the noted financier, phi
lanthropist and music patron, said at
a dinner iti New York:
“At gala performances at the opera
the ladles wear decollete gowns, and
now, I suppose, they will wear decol
lete skirts as well —short skirts, I
mean to say.
“A young husband bustled into his
wife’s dressing room one evening be
fore dinner. He looked ut her, in all
her dazzling loveliness, as she posed
before her three-leaf mirror, and then
he said :
“ ‘What are you dressed for now.
dear —opera or operation?’ ”
