It haiu't no use to grumble and complain: It’s jest as cheap and easy to rejoice— When Gofl sorts out the weather and sends rain. Why rain's my choice. —Janies Whitcomb Riley. Mrs. Chris Hofstetter, west of the city, entertained the German Reformed Ladies Aid society delightfully yrs. terday afternoon. The rain spoiled the intentions of the ladies to have a pleasant walk there, so they secured a rig and drove out. After the business a very good social time was a order. The society is planning to have a dollar social in October. The collection was $4.33. The senior class of thirteen young ladies from the Lutheran hospital's nurses’ training school. Fort Wayne, arrived yesterday afternoon at 2:30 and were guests until the 9:30 car of the Misses Nellie and Margaret Daniels' who are at home for a two weeks' vacation from the hospital, where they are seniors. The hospital social affairs are more informal so no form of entertainment was arranged for the girls yesterday but the homo ,of Mrs, Mjnni|- Daniels on Sixtty street was thrown open to them with full, cordial, free old-fashioned hospitality. They poppe<j corn in the afternoon and had a general good time, until six o'clock when the festivities ceased for the six o’clock dinner served. Then, the evening was given over to games and music and other amusements. Besides the Misses Daniels, Miss Patton of this city, is a senior. * T Twelve ladies were guests at a one o’clock dinner given by Mrs. Joss Deam at her home on Adams street in honor of Mesdames Wilkinson ami Crane and Misses Swinney and Margaret Vesey of Fort Wayne. A m ist delicious four course dinner was served and the afternoon was enjoyably spent. The hostess was assited by

QUAINT QLD STAMBOUL TURKISH CAPITAL PLACE OP IN- ( TEREST TO THE TOURIST. Quarters Allotted to Foreigners Are Pera and Galata—Three Sundgya Celebrated During Week— Method of Telling Timo. i Constantinople, or Stamboul. as the , Turk calls his metropolis, is a pinchdiscussed city just now. But of its important foreign quarters, Pera and ‘ Galata. the stav-at-bome Briton hears little. • Galata is separated from Constantinople proper by the Golden Horn, and , lies principally between the two bridges which span that world-famous waterway. Formerly these bridges had cap--1 tains and crews exactly as If they ■ were ships Later they became remarkable for their shops, beggars and dogs Shops, beggars and dogs bave gone, but still the bridges arc objects of intense interest to the > * stranger. In Galata may be found a sort of Petticoat lane In full swing every day I of the week But, unlike Sunday market in the East end of London, the avenue is shifted each morning. For example, the indescribable bargaining and din is to be found on Thursdays at Pershembeh, which means i the Thursday market. Dealers in second-hand clothing have a more or less permanent rendezvous at the Bit bazaar or Louse market —au appellation more apt than delicate. Pera, which is modern Greek for "beyond,’’ stands on the hills behind Galata, which in a double sense it looks down on, considering itself the superior suburb. Both are despised by the real Turk, who, if he wishes to tell you that another Turk has gone hopelessly to the bad, will say 'he has gJhe to Pera,” or, more correctly, "to Buy Olou,” for the Turk refuses to recognize the Christian designation of • either Constantinople or its suburbs. A stranger stranded at Pera might possibly go hungry; but It would be his own fault if he thirsted. Elaborate drinking fountains are in nearly every street. There is a superabundance of post offices —but no postmen! No letters are delivered. Each European power has —or had —its own post office. Thus, one calls at the English estab lishment if expecting letters from home, at the French If correspondence is likely to arrive from Paris, and . so on. Three Sundays a week are observed ! in both suburbs—Friday by the Turks, ! Saturday by the Jews, and Sunday by ' the Christians. And three distinct calendars are used. This year the Mohammedan is dating his letters 1333. the Jew 5675, and the Christian, of course, 1915. But the inconvenience of using three different calendars is slight compared with the bewildering method mostly used in computing the hours of the day. A watoh which kept correct time on the shores of the Golden Horn would be, somewhat paradoxically. rather an erratic timekeeper, according to the standard laid down by i Greenwich. For, as twelve o'clock is reckoned always to fall et the exact moment of sunset, one's watch has to ' gain or lose « few minutes each day. according to the season of the year.— I Answers. Thousands of German Nurses. "The nurses of the German Red Cross are divided into three classes,” says a recent bulletin of the American Red Cross, "the first being the Red I Cross Sisters, who for years have car- : ried on the profession of nursing. Second class, the volunteer auxiliary sisters, who undergo one-half year’s training, pass an examination, and who 1 are called out from time to time to take ■ part in repetitive courses and practical , service in military hospitals. The: third class comprises the volunteer | helpers <Bf the Red Cross. They are , ! employed only in the home military ' : hospitals, and even thsti only under I tho supervision of trained nurses. "Over 60 per cent of the Red Cross i nurses, about 5,500 in aH, are now on tho battlefield or In the field, war and base hospitals. The remainder are at home, not only nursing sick and wounded wfidiers, but also men, women and children of tile civil population.” A Bird Mystery. One of the most curious and interesting of the unsolved problems relating to bird migration, according to Mr. W. W. Cooke's recent memoir on this subject, is connected with the chimney swift, more often called the chimney "swallow,” a very common and well-known bird of the eastern ■United States. After the breeding season the Docks drift slowly south and concentrate in vast numbers on pie northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Then they disappear as completely as If they hibernated under the water or in the mud, according to the belief regarding birds in general, vfl last week of March they appear again I on the gulf coast. "Their hiding place | during the intervening five months, said slr. Cooke, "is still the swift’s j secret.” (Chapman’s Handbook says! , they winter in Central America.) Grave Possibilities. "Do you think a man ought to ap point his relations to office?" ‘‘No,” replied Senator Sorghum ! ‘There's no sense in complicating ta< destinies of a nation with the possi billUee of a family
