 Mrs. Darlington sorted the mail carefully, laying three letters on her Husbands plate. one at the plate of her friend and guest, Lida Selwyn, and herself retaining two--an invita- ton to luncheon and a note from one of her relatives.
 Mrs. Selwyn cast a surreptitious glance toward Carrington's letters, her eyes widening just perceptibly as she glimpsed the handwriting on one of them. It was not the first time note carrington's obvious constraint, amounting almost to embarrassment. upon seeing 1t himself. This had hap pened on several occasions during the past few weeks.
 She slipped her coffee in silence for some minutes. stealing frequent fur tive looks at her hostess who was apparently. still deeply immersed in her mail. But presently Mrs Car rington lifted her eyes. calm, conten- ted eyes they were--clear and still and untroubled as a girls. What are we going to do today?" she asked with a smile.
 Most anything. I suppose. The air Is perfect; it'll be easy to enjoy all most any sort of thing-outdoors Your husband was to take us row ing, was he not?'
 That was the arrangement, ] think. But I am not so sure than he can now. He's been a good deal rushed with work lately. and I'm afraid"
 He seems to be late for his break ma A1.t. orrn in isn't that bit unusual?"
 Mrs. Darlington glanced up quick iy. The tone. rather than the words brought a transient pink to her cheeks.
 T presume he is rather tired" she answered after a seconds pause ssthere was a lot of extra work for last night; 1t was after three when he went to his room"
 Mrs. Selwyn raised her black brows with little gesture, half question ing. Notwithstanding.
 If Mrs. Darlington saw. she gave no hint of it. Tn fact" she went on '1t was almost four. I reconect hear ing the clock strike just as I was re- tiring. I was dreadfully faggged my self. but Billy is such a dear and would -insist on my accompanying him to the office--so I couldn't refuse. hope you did not find 1t dull all aione7"
 "Oh, no; fortunately for me, I'm never dull--whep alone. It's the society oi some people that makes me feel thai way"
 The door opened as she was speak ing and Darlington himself came in- to the room. He nodded to them with a little half-laugh apology for his lack of punctuality and drew his chail up to the table, carelessly pushing aside the letters by his plate The one uppermost dropped to the floor and as he stopped to pick 1t up a rush of crimson famed over his face then faded leaving it almost pale

MONUMENT
COMMITTEE
PUZZLED

The state monument commission took
steps yesterday TO find out what power
Of action il has in connection with the
relocating Of the Exchange place statues.
The commission met yesterday after
noon in the office Of Secretary Daniel f.
Hayden and instructed him TO put the
question up to Attorney General Green
ough.
The commission would like TO know
whether the provisions Of the act Great
ing II and the amendments since made
to Il require that the commission shall
move the monuments. or whether the
power conferred is Of discretionary
character. II such power Is discretionary
the commission then desires to know II
n has the authority TO move one Of the
monuments and not take the same course
with the other. Further. II is questioned
whether IL has the right 10 place the
monuments in public highway or park.
In direct relation to the city's part in
the matter the commission also would like
10 know II the consent Of the city council
is necessary before any relocation OF the
monument may be made; also II the city
is liable for the bills thus contracted even
though IL has refused 10 consent. AS a
fnal query the commission raises the
question as 10 the city's legal right TO re-
fuse 10 pay the bills.

OF WEAvERS
REFUSED

The demand OF the Fall River weavers
for a restoration OF the old wage scale
was refused at a meeting OF the Fall
River Cotton Manufacturers association
yesterday afternoon.
The manufacturers claim that their
business does not warrant an increase,
as the margin between cost OF raw ma
terial and selling price OF the finished
article Is lower than the figure set by
Gov. Douglas as referee between the
striking operatives and the manufac-
turers. AT the conclusion OF the six
months strike which followed the re-
duction.
There is much speculation as 10 whether
the operatives will force an issue. The
date decided upon by the operatives for
the beginning OF tho new rate asked for
Is July L.

last July. NJ. c. Borden of New York
