great majority of these seldom car
be reached at their homes during the
day. Therefore, the evening virtually
is the only time during which we can
make plans over the telephone. | do
not believe the project could be ac-
complished."
However, many prominent women
declared themselves as highly in favor
OF the curfew custom.
Mrs. Charles j. Haden president of
the City Federation of Womens Clubs
said:
Tho idea is a splendid one. be-
lieve, however, that 1t is as important
for women to make their converse
lions over the telephone more bust
nesslike. OF course there are many
things in club woman's life that has
to be discussed over the phone, and
In the evenings. but the point is. such
things could be discussed in a more
businesslike way.
Aim Statewide Move.
IF all clubwomen would agree not
to use the telephone after 6 o'clock II
would be a good thing. l am in favor
OF the movement, and also in favor
Of women learning to make brief their
telephone conversations"
Mrs. Jay King for many years
president of the Womans Relief
Corps of the Grand Army of the Re
public, Is Of the opinion that the plan
would be a fine one. Mrs. Killing
said.
Il am in favor Of the movement and
believe that women should have their
eveningsaftee for home life. but of
course there are times when one has
to talk over the phone for there are
matters that come up late'in the day
that have to be attended to before the
next morning"
Mrs. Price Smith declared that she
would make a formal presentation OF
her motion to the Atlanta Woman's
Club at the next meeting OF that or
ganization. She said she was con-
fldent Of its adoption there and that
plans would then be laid for IT'S propa-
cation among other women's organi-
cations of the city.
IF the motion is carried at that
meeting" Mrs. Price Smith said
then we will not only endeavor to
introduce 1t into other organizations
but will send copies OF the motion to
all women's clubs in the State to get
their cooperation"

POLICE HORR|D,
IS VERDICT Of
MRS. ALS0P'
But Judge Who Released Her
After Arrest a Dear" Says
Former Georgia Girl.

NEW YORK, oct. 31.--A full, COM
plete and decidedly explanatory ex-
PLANTATION was made this morning by
Mrs. Effie Pope Hin Alsop, formerly
Miss Effie Pope Hill. q Georgia girl,
concerning her police court expe -
rience and the causes thereof.
The judge was perfect dear,
Mrs. Alsop began. But the chauf-
feur was horTid So was the police
man. So was the police wagon. So
was the station house, or hoos- gov,
as 1 heard funny -looking young
man prisoner call 1t. What is a hoos-
gov? 1t sounds like Chinese"
Aged Husband Thinks So, Too.
Then Mrs. Alsop, fianked and de-
Tended by Mr.. Alsop, the elderly
Ptttsburg millionaire, explained how
she came to be out Of money when
the chauffeur demanded his fare,
which circumstance had caused the
arrest and all the trouble.
1T was all very horrid," the young
woman said. 81 had been shopping
with some friends and we dropped
into Bustanoby's and at Maxims to
hear the music and watch the dane

feur was horrid. Then came a po-
llceman, and he was horrid. They
wouldn't even take me back to my
hotel. the Waldorf, though l prom
ised the horrid chauffeur double fare
az soon as we got there.
And even when my husband came
to ME at the-er-hoos-g gov, they
wouldn't let me to go court in a taxi
Made me ride in that horrid police
wagon. Wasn't that horrid?"
Judge Raps Policeman.
Magistrate Murphy appears to have
agreed in substance with Mrs AL
sop's comments. He ordered her i'm
mediate discharge, with a disserta-
ton on the rapacity of chauffeurs and
the ivory headedness sof policemen.
And as to the accusation of intox-
ication-which also was "horrid"-
Mrs. Alsop said it was all nonsense.
She added that she hadn't been drink
ing think-hardly. Mr.. Alsop con-
tributed the comment that his wife
drank next to nothing"
So Mrs. Alsop's verdict was that
everything and everybody connect
ed with the incident was horrid ex-
cept the Judge. He was q perfect
dear.

George and Fortune were seated at
breakfast 1t was early morning. At
ten they were to depart for Jaffa. to
take the tubby French packet there to
Alexandria. They could just about
make It, and any delay meant a week
or ten days longer upon this ragged
and inhospitable coast
"Ryanne has probably oversight.
After breakfast I'll go and rout him
out. The one thing that really tickles
me-" George continued, as he pared
the tough rind from the skinny bacon,
is. We shan't have any luggage.
Think Of the blessing of travelling
without trunk or a valise or a
steamer-roll,"
without even a comb or a hair
brush!"
ITS great fun" George broke his
toast
And Fortune wondered how she
could tell him. She was without any
toilet articles She hadn't even a
toothbrush. and IT was quite out Of
the question for her to bother him
about trihes. much as she needed
them. She would have TO live in she
clothes she wore. and trust that tic
ships stewardess might help her QUE
in The absolute necessities.
Here the head-waiter brought
George a letter The address was
enough for George No one but Ry-
anne could have written II. without
excusing himself. he ripped OF the
envelope and read the contents. For
tune could not resist watching him,
for she grasped quickly that only
Ryarnc could have written a letter
here in Damascus. At first the tan
upon Georges checks darkened--the
sudden sffusion OF blood; then St be
came lighter, and the mouth and eyes
and nose became stern.

And while he CABS. we'll get the

first time in days Ryanne's laughter
had a bit of the erstwhile rollicking
tone
The dinner was an event. No deli
cacy (mostiy canned) was overlooked.
The manager, as he heard the gum
cas- jingle In Georges pocket, was
filed with shame; not over his origi-
nal doubts. but relative to his lack
OF perception. The tourists who sat
at the other tables were scandalized
at the popping of champagne-corks.
Sanctimonious faces glared reproof
A jovial spirit in the Holy Land was
an anachronism, not to be tolerated.
And wine. Horrible! Doubtless.

Even Fortune laughed, though Ry-

vague note of hysteria. II the meat
was tough. the potatoes greasy. the
vegetables flavorless, the wine fiat,

George felt himself drawn deeper
and deeper into thpse tragic waters
from which, as in death, there is no
return. She was SO lonely, so sad
and forlorn, that there was as much
