Being
Impartial

Mrs. Barlow was so essentially a
matchmaker that it was impossible
for her to see any unattached person
without being fired with desire to
find some other unattached person OF
the opposite sex and approximately
suitable age bring them together and
launch them upon the troubled sea OF
matrimony. That her brother, Tom
Hobbs. was still unmarried was due
to no 'aciz of energy on her part.
Consequently, when Tom received
her invitation to pass his vacation at
her summer home he grinned know
ingly Wonder what kind of female
person she's going to hook me up with
this timer" he chuckled to himself
Being thus prepared in his own
mind, he was neither surprised nor
disgruntled when he stepped out OF
the motor car on to his sisters wide
front porch to find the wealthy, If
no longer strictly youthful Miss Rob
bins gracefully postured in reclin-
ing chair. He was somewhat sur
prised, however, a short time later,
when his sister explained with a
troubled expression that the extreme
ly prosperous, though slightly passe,
Miss Trotter was expected the next
day.
Il hadn't planned to have those two
girls here at the same time" she
fretted, "but Molly Trotter wrote and
asked if she might come two weeks
earlier than I had intended to have
her, and then it was too late to put
Miss Robbins off. I'm afraid it won't
be a bit nice or the way | meant to
have it."
Don't worry, old lady" said Hobbs
soothingly. "I'll promise to be per-
fectly impartial"
But I don't want you to" began
Mrs. Barlow. But Hobbs interrupted
her with a shout of laughter.
ooh, Polly, Polly!' he cried. You
certainly are the prize ostrich"

LARK OF BRITISH DUCHESS
Her Grace Of Sutherland Danced at London Masked Ball in Male
 Attire

A carefully concealed sensaticn of the brilliant Arabian Nights Ball. given at Covent Garden. came 10 light in London when # was learned that among the glittering thTong ot orien. tai dancers was her grace the duchess of Sutherland in male attire--that 0: mahar.jah. The incident was deemed so serious that a family con clsve was called at Stafford house. the magnificent Sutherland residence. in St James street.
 But 1t was not the duke who caused the trouble. but the earl of Rosslyn. the countess brother, who ordered hts sister to give an account of herself" :" The duchess took umbrage at this what lurid career bade him defiance,
 T would like to know" she is re- ported to have said. who appointed you as censor of this family's nor sls: so don't talk rot"
 X cross-examination elicited from the duchess the fact that while she did wear a mans clothes at the ball and also painted her face to a swarthy hue to resemble the eastern poten- tate. her trousers were very baggy and cloak enveloped her figure
 So at the conclusion of the inauisi- tion the duchess figured that the earl of Rosslyn owed her an apology.
 You see it was all perfectly inno- cent" she said. and done just for & lark. You really should get down on your knees to me for stirring up such a fuss"
