You'll say you never tasted such delicious mackerel!

They can't help but be delicious.

They are selected fish and they are packed a few minutes after they are brought to the wharves at Gloucester by the fishing boats.

And when we say selected fish, we mean selected fish. We personally look over the various mackerel catches as they are brought in every day and we pick out only the very best. And we know how to pick them out, too-we've been fishermen ourselves for over fifty years and the mackerel we select are the same kind that we pick out to take home.

Fat, tender, mackerel with a real freshfrom-the-sea-flavor that you have always longed for.

And all you have to do to get them is to write your name and address on the coupon below and mail it to us. We will then send you our complete fish price-list so that you can send us your order. Then we send the fish along to you at once. And remember, you do not pay for them unless you are entirely satisfied.

This list we send you, will give you a new idea as to the number and variety of the good things we have in store for you. Clams, lobster, shrimp, sardines, tuna, salmonall fresh from the ocean, all carefully selected and perfectly packed..

Salt codfish is one of our big specialties. It is really boneless and comes to you in big, white, steak-like pieces just right for making the most mouth-watering codfish cakes or creamed fish. Be sure to remember it when you order.

Now here's the coupon. Fill it out now and mail it. It won't be many days before you'll say that sending in this coupon was one of the most satisfactory things you ever did in your life.

APOLOGIES TO DIAMOND

Iration to be obliged to call your atten

T grieves me beyond description or nar

tion to the fact that you have been guilty of cruelty to animals. No, I am not an anti-vivi. I believe in "live and let live," but no one should be maligned, especially when one is a dear, dead dog, beyond recall. To explain :

The article in your issue of September 15 entitled "How To Lose Your Temper" caused me to lose mine, and I shall proceed to follow the seven rules. Rule four says: To the right person. And, Outlook, you are always right. Therefore let me address you in behalf of Diamond, the darling dog of Sir Isaac Newton.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, he did not tear the famous manuscript to pieces, as the writer of this admirable article asserts. (See page 117.) Sir Isaac Newton lived in the light of other days, and I believe that on this memorable occasion a tallow dip was burning on his table. Wearied by ceaseless labors, he had strolled forth to breathe the balmy airs. Diamond came to himself after a delicious nap, according to his custom, on his master's table. He opened one eye, and, missing the gentle sage, sprang lightly to his feet, in so doing overturned the candle, and the dry material ignited and was consumed by the flames. Now Diamond was a well-bred dog, and would no more have thought of tearing these scientific treasures to bits than you would think of tearing up your editorials for next month. JOYCE E. LOBNER.

IS CHIVALRY DEAD?

a recent number of your magazine there was something about the propriety of men's ceasing to give up their seats to women in cars.

Perhaps you can tell us where it is now usual for men to show this courtesy except to women of their acquaintance.

In 1890-3 I was often in New York, and the nearest I came to experiencing such a thing was to have a man poke me in the back to make me look around and see a seat just vacated. At that time in Baltimore it was customary for women of a certain social position to be treated with great courtesy in this regard, and also in the West, as in Chicago.

These cities have long since ceased to

WASHINGTON'S PRAYER FOR THE NATION

ECENTLY there was placed upon

the

beautiful altar of the Washington Meorial Chapel at Valley Forge an exquitely illuminated copy of Washington's ayer for the Nation:

"Almighty God: We make our earnest ayer that Thou wilt keep the United ates in Thy holy protection; that Thou ilt incline the hearts of the citizens to ltivate a spirit of subordination and bedience to government: and entertain a rotherly affection and love for one anher and for their fellow-citizens of the nited States at large.

"And finally that Thou wilt most graously be pleased to dispose us all to do stice, to love mercy, and to demean ourlves with that charity, humility, and cific temper of mind which were the aracteristics of the Divine Author of our Messed religion and without a humble imition of whose example in these things re can never hope to be a happy nation. "Grant our supplication, we beseech thee, rough Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." Every day at noon a litany and prayers or the Nation are said in the chapel, and is inspiring to think that day and night is petition of the Father of our Country akes thus its silent appeal.

Would it not be possible for every urch throughout the United States to Mlace upon its altar or wall one of the xcellent copies of this illumination to be constant reminder to its congregation of The spirit in which our great leader accomlished his task and that "no spot on arth-not the plains of Marathon, nor the asses of Sempach, nor the place of the astile, nor the dikes of Holland, nor the Hoors of England, is so sacred in the hisry of the struggle for human liberty as alley Forge."

The copies may be obtained for twentyve cents each by applying to the Secrery of the Valley Forge Museum, and the roceeds would add substantially to the inds for completing the buildings planned or this "Westminster Abbey of America hich is already become one of our most cred shrines.

WANT to give you my hearty approval of the spirit and courage of The Outlook 1 standing in these troublesome times for he truth unfettered and unmuzzled. Many o-day are afraid of the truth. They know what is right, but fear to be righteous.

I have been deeply interested in your tand on social and industrial problems. You are right in your attitude. You have a ine exponent of the truth in Sherman Rogers. His articles in The Outlook are nstructive and convincing. His spoken ddresses are of equal merit.

His talks here have been beneficial. He nows his subject, and tells it in a forceful, atural, and compelling way. He caters to 10 faction or class. He has brought no ew doctrine for our consideration, but as restated the gospel of mutual confilence and respect, of trust and friendliess, with a freshness, vigor, and candor hat have won approval and emphasized new the practicability of kindness and conidence as the basis of mutual understandng between employer and employee.

The venerable vaudeville gag about the workman who bores the holes in Swiss cheese, remarks "Popular Mechanics," is alled to mind by a new machine that actully performs this work so far as imitation Roquefort cheese is concerned. The purpose of making the holes, it is stated, is to quicken the growth of the mold which ives the cheese its familiar flavor and ppearance.

The wealth of a community in these ays is often estimated by the number of utomobiles it contains. A hundred years er so ago, says "Shipping," it was reckned by the number of seagoing ships that were owned. In the year 1770, it is stated, Lassachusetts was reported to own one eagoing ship for every one hundred inhabrants. This high ratio of tonnage to popudation was maintained to a considerable egree, it is said, until the Civil War period

Discussion as to the origin of the term mugwump" has been revived. Mr. Melille E. Stone says it was originally used

1877 in the New York "Tribune," and ame into general use in 1884, when defiitions of the term varied from that of CA Republican with a conscience" to that f "A person educated beyond his intelct." The term is found in the dictionaries with the dignified definition, "A oter identified more particularly with one arty but claiming the right to vote with nother party."

Apropos of Mr. Lucas's recent artiles in The Outlook, a subscriber writes: "I see that Mr. Lucas could not find Tea Wharf' when in Boston. It is at the pot of Pearl Street, and a building there ears an inscription to this effect: Here ormerly stood Griffin's Wharf.' Then ollows an account of the Boston Tea Party!

Another correspondent says:

"It may be worth while to say that the questrian statue in a waste space by Michigan Avenue,' which Mr. Lucas adhired, is not of Grant but of John A. ogan. It is a Saint-Gaudens, though I elieve the horse was modeled by Proctor."
