Jealousy on the part of some tin

vorites.' That's the whole thing in a
nut she'll" say those conversant with
the real facts In the case.
Colonel and Mrs. Ayres have a
charming daughter, Miss Emily Ayres,
who Is by all acknowledge the belle OF
the Point, and son. Fairfax Ayres, Mt

will prevent Mrs. Ayres going on to
the government reservation at any
time and for any purpose whatever
The order did not include Miss Ayres,
nor Colonel Ayres, who has just re-
turned from three years duty In the
Orient.
"oh. the outrage" said Mrs. Ayres,
