1t was the following afternoon, and
we were making our way laboriously
down Mrs. Ernest Staunton's crowded
staircase. AS we reached the hall we
came face to face with Mrs. Leaning
ton Smythe, who had just arrived.
Lady Isabel went towards her.
"How are you, dear?-how late you
are; the princess hasn't come yet, and
alas! here we are, obliged to run
away"
Mrs. Smythe's answer was to re-
gard her with glazing and icy stare,
and then, bowling coldly to me, swept
past us across the hall and up the
stairs.
my dear Isabel, whatever is the
matter?"
Isabel answered me with her usual
radiant smile, but her face had grown
little pale. Il rather believe that I
have just been cut, Marjorie. What?"
1T seems SO" / agreed half doubt
ingly; "but why?"
Yesterday" answered Isabel lacon-
ically.
Yesterday" / repeated; "but you
could not introduce her to a woman
who would not wait; besides, she was
quite friendly to you yesterday
"Ah, but you see, l had written her
a little note" explained Lady Isabel,
looking pathetically at me, land when
I heard her say she had not been
home, | knew at once she had not
seen it."
But she came, so why did that
matter? What had you said you want
ed her to see before she came?"
Lady Isabel laughed, and then she
sighed.
Nothing much-only I had said l
was very sorry to put her off, as /
was ill and going out of town.

I lost the rest of the sentence in a

pulled me on one side.

she whispered; land now whatever

you, Isabel; why should you be on
tenterhooks. What do you mean? l

The princess, interrupting us, said
good-by, adding that she had enjoy ed
herself so much, but she hadn't an
other moment to wait; and she left
the room in rather hurry. She had
been standing close to Mrs. Smythe,
who was obviously all expectancy, and
who looked deeply disappointed as she
saw her say gOod-by to us.
There now, you are safely out of
it, | whispered cheerily. you can't
introduce person who isn't there,
and the princess has saved the situa-
ton by running away
'Has she?" said Lady Isabel, with
a grimace: you would not saw SO il
you realized what the situation is.
"Good-by, dear Lady Isabel" said
Mrs. Smythe a little later on, with a
rather sour smile. 1--WE enjoyed my
self so much It's been a perfectly
delightful party. Was that the prin-
cess? Isn't she lovely?"
Eyes; I'm SO sorry / couldn't intro

The following from the last issue o.
the Indiana Retail Journal is worthy
Of perusal by every reader:
'Sears, Roebuck & Co. have dis
continued their grocery department.
Will those Of our readers who have
been accustomed to sending their good
money to this concern kindly pause
long enough to let this statement sink
IMP You may and you may not know
what caused Sears, Roebuck & Co. to
discontinue their grocery department.
For fear you don't know we will tell
you; the pure food law was the cause.
The groceries that this firm sold came
under the ban Of the law; in other
words they were inferior goods.
The pure food law puts such . severe
restriction on the sale Of impure or
adulterated groceries that Sears. Roe
buck 9 Co. land many other similar
irms) had to quit that branch Of bust
ness. The firm sold groceries mighty
cheap that is so. But when you
bought coffee you got Drowned bread
dough; when you purchased horse
radish you got sawdusti when you
bought deviled ham or potted
you got the Lord knows
what. But these things we're cheap
and you bought them. The pure
food law requires that such COM
modities shall be labeled exactly what
they are Sears. Roebuck & Co. de-
cided to quit. Now. II these are facts

grocery department, isit not fair to
presume that other departments Of

L.vr,nn iIs,J5s: rlD Topeka
Capital quotes approvingly from q
Nebraska paper statement Of the
terms Of the Nebraska primary law,
and says in commenting upon it that;
This was what was asked in Kansas.
1t was not granted" The comment
quoted by the Capital from the Ne
braska paper says that the Nebraska
law provides for a party test, and
holds the party organization intact,
and further says that it is necessary
under our form of government. Now
the law, the Capital said the people Of
Kansas wanted, obliterated absolutely
party lines, and permitted a man Of
any party to vote at the primaries for
any man or set Of men, whether Of his
own political faith or not. That is,
the Capitals bill permitted Demo-
Gratis to vote at Republican primaries
or Republicans to vote at Democratic
primaries, or for Democratic candi-
dates. No fair man Of any party will
claim that this is right or proper, SO
long as we have political parties.
The law, or rather the bill, was
fraud on its face, 1t was dishonest
from start to finish and no one knows
it better than does the Capital.
