LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVES (By Mrs. Amanda L. Xanders) 7 No. I At the last moment I was compelled to change my plans and go to New York via Washington, D. C. In answer to a telegram I learned the State Department, Passport Division, had not received my application. sent three weeks before. I was advised by wire to come on to Washington if I wanted to sail on the 24th. I left Syracuse on August 20, at 9:30 p. m., amidst the noisy shouts and good-byes of some of my neighbors and friends; it made me forget for the time being, my intended lengthy stay abroad. At luncheon oh the train on Wednesday, I was asked if everything was satisfactory, I answered it was the best meal I had had on a train for some time. The waiter then volunteered the information that the diner was only eight days old; he was so proud of it and it really very fine—the very last word in dining cars, all done in mahogany and old ivory, with beautiful large crystal globes of light, along the ceiling and the usual number of side lights. Immediately on my arrival in the city at 4:40 p. m. my nephew called a taxi and we went to the State Department, only to find it closed. It was a great disappointment, as I hoped I would be able to continue to New York that night I was the guest of my nenhew at dinner and we toured the city on top of a bus, as the heat that day ranged from 107 to 114 in the shade. At 11:00 p. m., my nephew had left the city for West Virginia and I was in possession of his bachelor apartment in the Wisteria Mansion. It was lucky for me that I called up an old friend, -who promised to meet me at 9:30 a. m., at the State Department. In a short time we had complied with the requirements of the office. tSe man said I should return at 2:00 p. m. I asked for one o'clock, but was informed it was most unusual to hand out a passport in that short time, so was content, but decided to return at 1:30. After attending to some other business, I went to the Allies Inn for lunch, it is quite near. Returned to the Passport Division of State at 1:30, feund the office closed for business, tho one of the officials was waiting for me. I acknowledged in this public way, the kindness and courtesy of this Department of State. They told me I would have to get the British visa in New York City, and directed me to the French Embassy, where I arrived at 2:00 o’clock. The nice,, girl looking boy, who answered my ring, pointed to the door where I read, office hours 2:30 to 4:30. I protested, but in vain, that I would miss my train, he again pointed to the door and turned to lead the way into a small bay window room overlooking the Embassy’s attractive back yard. When he closed the door, I thought a whole

• lot of things fidbout Embassies iff ’ general, and this French one in particular. At 2:30 the same boy came for my passport, and in duevtfme it was returned to me, price SIO.OO. I then hurried to the station, so far away, to find I had missed my train by ten minutes. I put in part of the two hours wait, sending more telegrams, than I ever sent at bne time before. Arriving in New York at 10:30 p. m., and waited until 1:30 a. m., for train for Hartford. On the train the conductor told me I would have to wait two hours at New Haven. The [heat and lengthy stop-overs became a horrible nightmare There had been a heavy thunderstorm during the night and the temperature fell with a thud. Was surprised to find a beautiful, large new up-to-date station at New Haven. Could hardly believe my own eyes, as on my last trip, that way three years ago. there was no sign of a new one. My friends met the 8:00 a. m., train. Mnst of the cne day visit was spent cruising on the Connecticut River; the day was ideal, the time passed all too swiftly, sightseeing, visitin/ and playing bridge. We had a delicious supper on board, and returned to the city by moonlight. Early Saturday morning we started to motor to New York through the most beautiful New England towns, with immense shade trees, pretentious homes, surrounded by velvety lawns, blooming plants and flowering shrubs.. At Bridgeport I was compelled to take the train, to be in time to meet my son Laucks, at the Waldorf Astoria,’ at ten. It really was a mad rush, from place to place, on foot, and in taxies. At 3:00 p. m., the.gang-way of the White Star Liner, Pier 58, North River, was pulled ashore and tugs were taking us further and further away, while relatives and friends followed the boat, to the end of the pier, waving hats, handkerchiefs and even umbrellas, in good-bye, or farewell, who shall say? Not until we hhd passed the Statue of Liberty, and secured our deck chairs,.scats.at table, first sitting, and bath hour, did we “seek the seclusion our state room Here we found letters, bon voyage cards, boxes of candy, flowers and fruit. Dinner that evening was an informal affair; every table in the dining room was loaded with beautiful flowers, of every variety, including huge baskets of roses: That first evening, getting tired, of promenading, and not being able to find our chairs, I appropriated an empty one. Presently a gentleman took the chair next to me, and in a very short time I learned he was a military class mate of a prominent business man of York, Pennsylvania. Mr. Curtis is a teacher on Staten Island and did war service in France. We all became very friendly and have arranged a trip to go through southern France. Later I met his wife and their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Bowman and Mrs. Booth, of New York. Sunday evening, as the eight of us were talking in the card room, I said, I wonder what has

’ happened, the boat has stopped, j They all laughed at me. I went out on deck, and looking down at the water, I was convinced the engines had ceased their work. They all remained “doubting Thomases," even when they, too, looked down at the water, and did not believe, until an officer corroborated my statement, and said the boat has stopped, as the assistant purser was taken suddenly seriously ill that morning, and in the afternoon the boat’s physician consulted with Dr. W. T. Willey of Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md., and he was operated on for appendicitis, and all during the operation, the boat was practically at a standstill. One of the most important things, when crossing the ocean, is a daily salt water bath. Our daily routine was bath at 6:00 a. m., back to bed for half an hour, breakfast at 7:30 to 8:30. At 9:00 we were busy writing or talking in the writing room in the center of the ship and Sur room was only an aisle between. No. 54, on deck B. Every one took a nap after lunch, either in their berth or in their chairs on deck. From 4:00 to 6:00, bridge, either a progressive or pivot game. In the evening there was dancing—and cards; at 10:00 we went to the smoking room for sandwiches and lemonade. Every afternoon at 4:00 tea and cakes were served in the dining room. Monday afternoon a committee was appointed to arrange for a series of entertainment for each day. That evening at dinner the Captain outlined the work of the committee and said any one who cared to contribute towards the prizes, would be given a chance during dinner. He also asked the passengers to consider the ten day trip across the ocean, a house party afloat, $97.50 was collected. Each Sunday morning there were three celebrations of the Holy Communion as there were four Episcopal clergymen. The Rev. T. W. Atkinson, the popular Rector of St. James, Washington, DrC., the Rev. H. H. Hassinger, Prof, of the Gen. Theological Seminary, New York City, and Rev. V. (X Anderson, of St. Agnes, Washington, D. C. I did not learn the name of the other one. There were two Congregational clergymen who conducted the 10:30 service in the dining room. There were good collections at every service for the widows and orphans of sailors. There are 550 passengers. Among the number are twelve doctors, six clergymen, a great many teachers, also Dr. Karl Taylor Compton, professor of physics at Princeton University Guy Jones, of the North American Newspaper Alliance, Miss Ethel Hawes, General Secretary of Y. W. C. A., and Ralph Graves, Assistant Editor of the National Geographic Magazine. The entertainments were a grand success, all kinds of deck sports, progressive bridge party, hard times and fancy dress balls that created no end of merriment

Thursday morning all the doctors aboard ship were called in consultation, over the case of the assistant purser. He died that afternoon—though only a few knew it On Sunday morning at eight o’clock, there was a burial at sea. Rev. Atkinson had the service and more than half of the passengers were present. The coffin, draped with the stars and stripes, was made on the boat and was weighted with 300 pounds of iron. The flag was re-, moved just before the coffin was lowered over the stern of the boat, and at the water’s edge the ropes were dropped, and it all went down and down—and for hkn the parting in the Harbor at New York was not goodbye—but farewell. o— = GONE TO DOG HEAVEN ~ James Traster is mourning the loss of his pet beagle hound, Joe. The dog was struck by an automobile on Saturday on the street, but the animal did not seem to be seriously hurt. Monday night his condition grew worse and hie suffered terrible agony by Tuesday morning. To put the pet out of his agony Mr. Traster administered chloroform. Joe was a neighborhood pet and especially was he a favorite among the children. — ...<>— ———' 0. E. 8.

All members are urged to be present as there is some important business to be transacted.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by <lhe Editor As He Sees Rm on the Surface. Back to School There never was a time when local school offered so much indpeement for boys and girls to complete their high school courses. The boy or girl who completes a 4-year course in high school, with good, honest effort and endeaver, will have a good foundation for life which he or she can ill afford to pass by. Many a lad has been, permitted to stop school to earn “ready money” who should have been kept in school, by his parents; and many who have been kept in sohjool, when they wanted to stop and earn money, Jsave livedto to thank thoughtful fathers and* mothers for their jvtoth acts. Parems should bst nothing interfere with the education of their children. Let t&em have, and if need be, comjiel them to take, all that the local schools can give them. It will not be too much in the preparation for their lives. Don’t Stop When someone xtops advertising. Someone stops buying. When someone stops buying, Someone stops selling. When someone stops selling, Someone stops making, ,When someone stops making, Someone stops earning, When someone stops earning. Everybody stops buying. She Knew A Syracuse boy stepped up to a Milford girl here on band concert night and said: “Pardon me but you look like Helen Black." “Yes," she replied, “I know I do, but I’d look worse in white.” If we could manage our own business half as well as we think we could manage other people’s business we would all be rich. This is particularly true as to newspaper—so many people know more about publishing a newspaper than the editor does. When you see an advertisement in the paper of “Women’s Dresses Half Off,” you may be certain there is no catch in it. They are often times half off both> at the top and bottom. We see in a magazine that for dollar spent on books $27 are spent on chewing gum. Yes, but people don’t borrow chfewing gum. A fish has been discovered that blushes. During the bathing season it probably goes to midocean and stays ttere. When a man is sure that his friends never say unkind things of him h|e is sure that all his friends are dead. A Goshen restaurant man was 'heard, to make the claim recently that not all soup is as bad as it sounds. The man who is unable to write seldom poses as a defendant in a breach of ipomise suit. Some girls who claim they have seen but twenty summers should consult an ocalkit at once. A large majority of girls who declaresthey wouldn-’J marry the best man on earth don’t. The most becoming rouge on the market is healthy food and plenty of good etxercise. Girls who act kittenish when they are young often act cattish when they grow up. A hick town is where they look twice at a girl in knickers. ■ Have you saved and. rested up enough for your vacation? Love is two divided by nothing; / Irumidotua ? ? ?
