Being built on solid lines herself,
Mrs. Fruby had an imagined contempt
for ethereal creatures like Louise who
looked as though puff Of wind might
easily remove her from the scene.
Louise was of the ethereal, useless kind
and Mrs. Fruby knew that no sensible
man wanted helpless wife. Men, she
often told Sadie, liked energy and abil-
ity in girl. AS for cooking, it was
doubtful if Louise could even cook a
pan of fudge without burning it.
Peter Vernon was tall, thin young
man with well set head and kind

: He's not the sort to get taken I'M"
Mrs. Fruby said thankfully as she
superintended Sadie's work making
| the beaten biscuits for that nights
supper, to which Peter was coming
Does your arm ache? Let me beat
a while!"
Peter Vernon liked the beaten bis
cult immensely. He ate six. And he
| had two helpings of the chocolate
| marshmallow pudding,
"She nearly beat her arm off max
ing those" Sadie's mother confided to
him. But, tell you, nothing daunts
Sadie! When she does thing she
Goes it,"
"They certainly were mighty good"
repeated Peter Vernon.
1--WE always have EN- Wednesday
evenings" said Sadie's mother with a
sudden inspiration. and you drop
in that night without waiting to be
asked, since you're so fond of EN-"
Eyes, dol" echoed Sadie.
Beaten biscuits are hard to make
Many were the weary hours Sadie
| Fruby put in over them, because they
had to be made regularly on Wednes-
| day. Sometimes Peter dropped in, and
| If he did not he was certain to be
met on the street the next day by Sa,
| die or her mother and pinned down to
another date. Mrs. F'ruby took his
fondness for the marshmallow pud-
ding as an especially good sign.
"You keep it up, Sadie" she told
her daughter the evening Peter had
stayed half-hour beyond his usual
time. Il can begin to see that you're
winning QUIT"
Il don't know" Sadie said dubious
ly HE goes to IsabePs and Margar-
cts, toO-and Louise's!"
Il wouldn't worry" declared her
mother. Il guess Isabel can't make

is joke. And you know Louise!
Why, you've got 'em all on the rum"
But he never says nothing" Sadie
protested. Il mean anything that /

He amt that kind" declared Mrs.
Fruby. He amt going to make love
to girl till he's engaged to her!
You beat those biscuits longer next
time!"
Shortly after that the local newspa-
per contained the unexpected an
nouncement of the quiet marriage of
Peter Vernon and Louise, the ethereal
Mrs. Fruby, after a hysterical
scream when she read the news, told
Sadie plainly what she thought Of Pc
ter. She talked so vehemently that
she did not notice how pale Sadie's
cheeks were. Sadie usually was stolid
and unmoved.
Well" Mrs. Fruby said at last,
wiping her eyes, 'it can't be helped.
You'd better stir up some beaten bis

day." Habit was strong with her

HOT SPEECHES
BY METHODISTS
Methodist Brethren Fire Some
Hot Shots

| Minneapolis, May 9.-Militant Meth
odism had the floor of the general
conference Tuesday. Men from va
rious parts of the world continued
to fire oral shots at the Catholic
church and at the statement of Arch
bishop Ireland regarding the episco-
pal address.
Heated speeches were made, but the
advice of cooler heads that no hasty
action be taken finally prevailed. A
committee of five of the most promi-
hent men in the conference was ap-
pointed by Bishop Joseph F. Berry.
who presided, to draw up a resolution
which should express the stand of the
Methodist church in it's relation to
the CaCtholic denomination.
One of tie most fiery addresses was
that of Rev. Dr. Robert Watt, of
Smyrna, Del. He is a north of Ire
land man and insisted there was no
use of the conference using padded
gloves when it dealt with the Catholic
church.
Prolonged applause greeted the
statement of Rev. w. F. Rice a mis-
sionary from Chile, when he asserted
that the statement attributed o
Archbishop Ireland that Methodists
were always looking for a fight, spur
red and with scimitar in hand" was
true, and added that in South Ameri-
ca it was necessary to be constantly
prepared
Rev. Harvey R. Calkins, of Gavin
pore, India, stemmed the tide which
was fast rising when he pleaded that
the resolution introduced by Rev. Mr.
Rice be toned down. He said there
were millions of Catholics in Asia who
would never be Method1sts or Protest.
ants of any sort, but their religion
, might be made more of a living prin-
, ciple by harmonizing them with the
. protestant affiliations.
! Moderation and wisdom in pressing
claims for missionary recognition was
also urged by the little delegate from
Germany E. Gideon Bek.
Speaker after speaker took the plat
form, but gradually the conference
was brought around to the view thar
dignitied consideration should be Civ
en- the whole matter. Several speak
ers said that not all Catholics were sc
intense in their opposition and tha
the protestant churches could do vast
ymore good by a tolerant spirit.
The storm followed the presenta
ton of a resolution that looked limo
! cent on its face. The resolution pro
tested against the action of the Ecu
menical Missionary conference in Ed
inburgh in refusing recognition K
missions conducted in countries rec
ognzed as Roman Catholic. 1t wa!
the sense of the Edinburgh conference
that Catholic countries were alread,
Christianized.
DR.. Rice, who presented the reso
luton, contended that South Ameri
ca should not be regarded as solidly
Roman Catholic.
The conference voted to make hi
resolution special order. It was re.
terred to a committee consisting Of
Rev. DR., James H. Buckley, of New
York; DR.. Harvey R. Calkins, North
west India; DR.. Homer c. Stuntz, Up
ped Iowa; DR.. William S. Rice, Chile
and Dr.. John w. Butler, Mexico.
