New York Letter A new use of the three-minute hour glass has come into vogue. Once confined to the dictates of the soft-bolled eng. it has now taken its place on top of the telephone desk in hundreds of Manhattan homes. Three minutes for your long distance call. Now, how many people ever can guess at three minutes or scale their conversation so as to have goodbye come just at the end of the third precious moment? The three-minute glass solves their problem. And the girls who have them are growing in popularity with their admirers who, call them up from out-of-town. Billie Burke gave the most brilliant theatre party New York has ever seen last Sunday night when she turned the dress rehearsal of her new Tarkington vehicle, "The intimate Strangers," into a performance for access only. The list of those present was like contemporaneous theatrical history. Animosities and rivals were forgotten, and all joined together to render tribute to this winsome lady who has been absent from the legitimate stage, all too long, even if it is only a year. Even a patrolman has not a gun with him always. But if he is a resourceful patrolman, that doesn't interfere with the performance of duty in bringing in a thief. Policeman Charles G. Hagen was off duty the other night and enjoying civilian clothes, when he noticed four men leading automobile tires into a taxi-cab. He pursued them in another taxi, and as he overhauled them, the chauffeur caught a flash of metal and stopped. Hagen held the men up with the same piece of metal and drove them back to the station with their stolen tires. Then only did they learn that the flashy "steel" was naught but the policeman's dressy silver cigarette case. This may explain some of the higher prices we grumble about: A bride-to-be stopped in at a sale in one of the many lingerie shops on Broadway the other day to purchase some lace and ribbon. The salesgirl, a child of Italy, began persuasively to show the reduced articles, and picking up one, she said: "We once said $7 for this and sell a lot of them; then we say $3.95, not so many; now we say, $1.95, none at all; soon we go back $7." There is a new violinist in town who has created a tremendous impression by unusual, if not well-nigh unique. He is so cleancut, so straightforward an artist that one gets additional pleasure from the genius that sounds from his bow. Everything from marbles to elephants is on sale this week at Uncle Sam's auction at the United States Appraiser's stores. Christopher and Washington-sts. It is the largest action of uncle'm merchandise in history. The most valuable, and one would think, most remarkable list is 200 class. A 300-horse power airplane engines You know even one airplane engine doesn't seem like the sort of thing one would forget after having ordered. The prize for energy among Columbia L. city students this year undoubted goes to Miss Theresa Thromp, who walked from her home in Ferndale, Wash., to the very campus of the university, with a Colt 38 and with a high-powered rifle slung over her shoulder. She left Washington last spring and arrived in plenty of time for the opening of the fall term at Columbia. Mrs. Jacob M. Ehrlich lives at a hotel in a busy district of Manhattan, but she knows that there are creatures which like quiet and country life. Consequently she established a farm 15 years ago where tired out horses and cats and dogs could go and spend the latter part of their lives resting by babbling brooks. The farm is, in fact, a sanitarium for animals, with a lifetime home thrown in in the event the patients show signs of liking it after they get all rested up. Here is another argument for the makers of simple, inexpensive looking cigarettes. Henry Britt was getting along fine the other day collecting money from Third-give elevated passengers by throwing a modest card in their laps stating: "I am a cripple." In fact, he had collected $10 in that one train. Then he ruined it all by reaching into his pockets and pulling out a package of especially high-priced cigarettes. A detective saw him and he was undone. We are not entirely a city of idlers nor of restless people who change from one job to another.

THANKSGIVING DAY PRAYER Lord, my gratitude which doth increase Through waning years, This day should be expressed in prayer; Incline thine ear. I’m thankful for the sweet content That’s daily mine; For those I call beloved; For friendskips fine. Right spirited community And brotherhood; For sheltering roof of home and friend; For neighbor good. I thank thee I may minister; For lot of honest toll. For every fruit and every flower From out the soil. I thank thee for the little trials Whereby I grow; For hope that is within my heart; The things by faith I know. I thank thee for all life itself; For everything of worth; For all tine endless mercy And bounty in the earth. So much of thanks will be the theme This day, in prayer and song; But may this prayer be heard of thee To whom all thanks belong. But being thankful never could be For me a task; For having blessed me thus so much, What more to ask? I’m thankful for the all of which We know I’ve need. I'm thankful, Lord, just thankful. Thankful indeed. —Isabel Muir Sheperd A TWILIGHT SONG She sings me a song—a slow, sleepy song. When the house upstairs is still; Of the dear little sheep, the grey and white sheep. That want to get over the hill. How they gather together when twilight falls. And the sun keeps down its light. The little lambs play but the mother sheep knows. They must be at home tonight. Like fleecy white clouds that float in the sky. All huddled together they run; And she counts as she sings for none must be lost, And counting them is such fun. So they hurry and skurry with nose to tail. Up the hill which is high and steep. While I nestle deep in the curve of her arm. And she tells me I fall asleep. For I never quite know when they get to the top, And then step grows so weary and slow; But I know they reach home, the bear little sheep; I know ‘cause she tells me so. —Isabel Shepherd, Anaheim.

You can often add materially to the effectiveness of your purchases by reading the advertisements in this paper. Advertising identifies goods of unquestioned value. When a store or a manufacture puts his name on a product and tells you about it, you may rest assured that it is worth while. It does not pay to advertise merchandise that is not sound. The income-backs are too costly. Make a practice of reading advertisements. Read them as news from the business world, published for your benefit. Sometimes they keep you from making an unwise purchase by pointing out just why one article suits your needs better than another. A step toward real economy! Often they help you live better and dress better and make more of your income in every way. Also, real economy! And you will find that they frequently save you money. Economy, certainly!
