Library Notes.''
For a number of years the man
agement of the Camden Library has
-granted the librarian two weeks va
cation in the summer. But it is the
wish of the librarian and also of the
management that no one shall be in
convenienced by this arrangement and
there is no need that they should be,
I for am pie time is given thfr patrons
to take out enough reading matter to
tide over the two weeks. This sum
mer the library will close on Saturday
afternoon, July 28th, and remain
closed for two weeks. Patrons are
asked to call and get out the number
of books desired for that time and
right here let us make a plea for the
books that are out to be returned.
Will you not make a search in your
homes for library books and return
them within the next week. It is your
plain duty to do this as the librarian
is responsible for th<yn.

The Outstanding Figure In a Crowd.
Have you ever noticed how in a
crowd your ey? will invariably bo
caught by some figury that stands out
from thu ic*t'} .... ....
It ?nhy be because of sftmc peculiar*
i!,y of dress ; some mannerism that is
noticeable oven in a crowd; may bo a
tnll man, or a very short one; some
oUe who is particularly attractive or
the opposite; maybe just personality ;
any one of these reasons and many
Others will attract your attention ev
en in a crowded street where it would
Seem thai there could be no individual
distinction.'
On Wedmsday morning a Kiel of
about 11 stood out like a gem in (he
hot, hurrying crowd. Hat less with
the wind blowing* her shining bobbed
haiy, her face pink and fanned with
health and outdoor lite; her stocking*
rolled down to show plump knees be
low her short frock;? interested in
everything sl\e saw; she wrts the very
epitome of wholesome, happy youth
that cejuld no more avoid being an
outstanding figure in a crowd than
she could help breathing.
? A negro Ueuu Brummell in checked
suit and gay summer shirt and tie,- .
swaggered through the crowd happy
and carefree as only one of his ruco
can be. He too, was a conspicuous
figure in the busy street.
A girl in a filmy black gown with
a huge red rose in her sash Attracted
attention ? because of the rose.
A plain, rod-headed freckled young
man, with no real claim to good looks
except healthy manhood, was an at
tractive figure from sheer force of
personality. f
j. A well dressed man sleek and sat
isfied. Caught your eye and made you
1 smile tWRiise of an effeminate walk.
A slight girl in a simple white frock
I that was created just for her, a "big
hat that covered her dark hair, was a
summer picture on the crowded street
; that made you want to turn and look
! over your shoulder.
A woman crying. Sick, sad, re sent- -
l'ul she looked-? tired of life and the
evident struggle with poverty. We
wanted to just touch her hand in sym
pathy, but convention and her defi
ance held us back. Now we wish wo
had. Every once in a while through
our work Hashes the picture of her .
distressed face.
She was in trouble ? deep trouble
that could not be hidden even in pub
lic places. How often it happens! We
all have felt the regret ? perhaps a
vital difference in our whole lives?
when we allowed the dictates of Ma
dame Grundy to restrain our good
acts.
A hearty hail called a man to the
hand-clasp of a white-hairdd gentle- -
man. lie threw an affectionate arm
around the shoulders of the elder man
and they talked with cordial interest. .
It is flattering to be an outstanding
figure in a crowd, provided it is for
the right kind of reason. Whether it
is preferable to stand forth otherwise
or remain tn obscure mediocrity is a
problem f<jr individual solution.
