til two years before she had queened
it over the Glendale set both by virtue
of her husbands business and political
Importance and because of her own
skill as an entertainer Then the new
pulp mill had been started at the upper
dam, and Renfew Bryan has brought
his family to live In Glendale.
From the first the two women had
crossed swords. Mrs Bryan, who had
humbly followed other leaders in the
city. now asserted her right to the
title in the small town. and by the
brilliancy Of her entertainments she
had very nearly wrested social SUI
premacy from her established rival be
fore Mrs. Paulding had realized what
was going on.
Her own entertainments became
more ambitious and for the last year
the advantage had lain first with one
and then the other To have Fred fall
a victim to Nancy Bryan was the
worst blow she had sustained, and
had she known that Nancy's mother
was as furious as she at the turn af'
fairs had taken she would have de-
rived small comfort from that fact. In
blissful ignorance of Mrs. Bryan's
state Of mind. she elected to believe Il
move Of that designing woman.
To add to the discomfort of the situa
ton, she heard during the day that
/ Mrs. Bryan was to celebrate her re
turn by garden party of unusual pre-
/ Righteousness
/ 4 number of her city friends were
to make up a house party. and there
( was to be dancing on the lawn to the
music OF an orchestra famous through

Genesis of the HaiIstone.

If IT were not for the countless tril-
lions of dust particles that float, sep
arately, invisible, in the atmosphere
there could be no raindrops, snow crys-
tails or hailstones. From a perfectly
dustless atmosphere the moisture would
descend In ceaseless rain without
drops. The dust particles serve as
nuclei about which the vapor gathers.
The snow crystal is the most beauti-
full creation of the serial moisture,
and the hailstone is the most extraor-
binary. The heart of every hailstone
is a tiny speck Of dust. Such a
speck, with little moisture condensed
about 1t, is the germ from which may
be formed hailstone capable Of fell
Ing a man or smashing a window. But
first 1t must be caught up by current
Of air and carried to the level Of the
lofty cirrus clouds, five or six or even
ten miles high. Then. continually
growing by fresh accessions Of mois-
ture. it begins its long plunge to the
earth, spinning through the clouds and
flashing in the sun like a diamond bolt
shot from q rainbow

"Yet the government is very economical
in hundreds of ways. The officers of the
government have to account for every penny
stamp that passes through their hands, every
quire of paper or pint of ink; army and
of supplies goes to-, and in the postoffice
department all bits of Irvine and paper are
gathered up. and sold for the benefit of the
government"

ton. shouldn't think the United States

"They wouldn't be if they were as careless
as you are" said Mr.. Gibbons, with a smile.
you see, the government understands true
economy and you do not. Economy does not
mean that you should pinch and deprive your
self OF necessaries, az. the miser does or that
does mean that you should not waste a single
cents worth. If you cut off slice of bread.
and then throw away the remainder of the
loaf, that would be wasteful, but it would
not be wasteful to eat two loaves OF bread,
if your appetite demanded it."

At first it was very cold, but they soon

Then the little princesses led the children
out of the amber hall into another which was
made out Of pink coral.
The eldest princess clapped her little pink
hands, and Immediately soft melcoious music
seemed to pour forth from every side, though
no musicians were to be seen.

The children climbed on their backs and,

A parcel shower was given for Miss
Clara V. Lasher, who will be June
bride, at the residence of Superinten.
dent and Mrs. G. E. Austin on Sat.
urday afternoon. Many of Miss
Lasher's friends were present and the
event was in every particular a de-
llghtful one. The ,parlors of the
Austin residence were decorated with
red paper hearts, flowers and ferns.
Immediately above the seat of honor,
upon which Miss Lasher sat, was sus-
pended huge umbrella, and, upon a
given signal by Mrs. Austin, Miss
Lasher pulled a string attached there
to and was instantaneously deluged
with a shower of rice and confetti.
Two little children thereupon emerged
from an inner room, drawing in their
wake a wagon filed with parcels con-
tanning various articles which will
come in handy' when Miss Lasher
goes to housekeeping. Upon opening
these packages she discovered in each
either a verse of original poetry or a
quotation from the celebrated masters
IN that line. Mrs. E. L. Mcmillan
read a story appropriate to the occa-
sion and several musical numbers
were rendered, after which dainty
luncheon was served. Miss Lasher's
many friends wish her happiness and
prosperity throughout life.
