Spring on the hills, Beloved,
on the side of a meadoWed slope.
And Love in our hearts, Beloved.
Love, and Spring and Hope.

Now was spring here, and hope and
the promise of love, but he did not
come. After her return from St.
Louis she had waited In vain Then
she had asked to have him invited to
dinner. When Mrs Gilbert telephoned
him he refused owing to press of
business, but asked to speak to Clio
ria. She came to the telephone and
they had a pleasant chat. He told her
that he was busy finishing some mag
azIne articles which the editor was
pressing him for, and that he was
working night and day. For the time
being Gloria accepted this explana-
lion. The day of their telephone CON
versation there came from him a box
Of red roses at the dinner hour.
1t must not be thought that Clio
ria was entirely cut off from society.
It was the society she craved, the in
innate association with certain ones,
which she was not finding. To all the
formal functions Gloria was invited,
out she no longer cared for big balls
IS formerly. Her dances were all
taken, but there was something in the
atmosphere which dampened her spir-
it's Although every one was superb
cially pleasant, there was no cordial
Ity in it at all. So she busted herself
more and more with remodeling her
country home.
One day at Locust Lawn a man en-
gagged in digging the foundation for
the new porch touched his hat and
called Mrs. Hayes by name. She
stopped to talk to him and betrayed
a knowledge of his family affairs
which astonished Gloria. After they
had passed, the girl questioned her

Joke" ON Mr.. KENT
IS NOT APPRECIATED
Correspondent Wired Story that Rep
resentative Passed the Hat to
Pay for Reception.
SAID TO BE POLITICAL MOVE

Representative William Kent OF Cal
ifornia is lodging bright young half
dollars which erstwhile guests are
pushing at him as the result of a dubi-
Gus joke which his political enemies
have framed up on him.
Mr.. Kent, who is represented to be
one of the wealthiest men in Congress,
recently entertained several hundred
CePtion given by a committee of the
House to Francis Burton Harrison. the
new Governor General of the Philip
pines. Mr.. Kent was one of the COM
mittee, and threw open his roomy home
and handsome gardens for the enter
tainment, inviting every one to come
and give Harrison, one of the most
popular members of the House, a rous-
ing send-On.
Harrison's fellow members in the
House decided to give their retiring
colleague and Mrs. Harrison something
in the nature of a farewell present A
nominal assessment was made on all
members of the House for this purpose.
The correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle got wind of the collec-
tion. The Chronicle loves Kent about
as much as the measles. The doubtful
joke by this correspondent consisted OF
wiring a story to his paper, stating
tina. after inviting people TO his gar
dens Representative Kent had taken
up a collection from his guests to de-
fray expenses. There is some doubt in
NJ. Kent's mind as to whether a vicious
misstatement of fact should be classed
as practical joke.

Wonlan's ThoughtlesSness
Blame for Rush Season
Fashion Followers Eagerness to Make Quick
Changes Makes Things Hard All the
Way Along the Line.

I is no chance OF fulhllment Yes they
will have a gown all finished by a certain
date, but the date comes along and the
gown is uncut; and it is really very
trying.
where Trouble Rests.
But, IL we will establish a court of
inquiry all our own, we will soon
enough learn where the trouble rests.
Everybody and everybody's friends
want their gowns all in a minute, or
all in the fewest weeks. II they-you
and /, that means-would help the
workers stretch along the season to a
comfortable degree, there would be
fewer broken promises, fewer weary
heads and worn-out hands, and more
faith in women all around.
They want their gowns. and they
want their hats in just such a hurry;
for milliners tell the same kind of
rush story. And that is not all, for
many times the workers must pay the
price when the dull seasons are on, and
must take a rest then, whether they
care 10 or no.
In passing. it is well to remember
some of the things the Consumers
League asks of its members: things
that kindly but thoughtless shoppers
often overlook.
There is the resolution never to
shop on Saturday afternoons or after
o'clock on any day unless absolutely
necessary"
Then the pledge ito discourage
tradespeople from making deliveries
after 6 in the evening" And IT, like
some others. you have been aroused
from your midnight dreams by some
poor little slip of a bundle-boy who
ought 20 be asleep, you will agree that
il is a wholesome commandment.
And the promise to avoid placing
hurry orders with tailors, dressmakers,
and milliners,"
And. of course, the familiar Christ
mas pledge.
II just half of the millions of shop
pers in America would agree to make
their own little efforts in behalf of
easier working conditions in factories
and shops-wen, the Consumers
League would soon lose its chief rea-
sons for being and life in some quar-
ters would come nearer going by with
a smile.

Commissioner NEWMAN
TOFIGHTF FOR Office
Head of District Beard Will File An
swer to Order of Justice Wright
in Eligibility Case.
SIDDONS TO ASSIST COUNSEL

Commissioner Newman will file an
answer to the order of Justice Wright
that he show cause within twenty days,
exclusive of Sundays, why a writ OF
quo warranto to test his eligibility to
hold Office as Commissioner for the Dis.
trict should not be issued against him.
Commissioner Newman stated yester-
day that the nature of his answer has
not yet been determined. Commissioner
Frederick L. Siddons, former law partnc:
of jackson H. Ralston, attorney for Mr..
Newman, will assist the Newman coun-
sci. The two civilian members of the
board were warm friends before they
were appointd Commissioners.
Mr.. Newman doubts the good faith OF
the act of W. J. Frizzell in filing petition
against him. He believes the petition was
filed at the ''instigation of persons un-
known to him, whose animus should be
made the subject of inquiry and whose
names and contributions should be fully
disclosed to the court"
The president of the board is deter
mined to fight the efforts of the home
rule committee to finish.
Mr.. Frizzell, petitioner for the instigs-
ton of proceedings against Mr.. Newman,
il is said, has made attempts to obtain
the removal of former Commissioners,
though not by court action. Mr.. Frizzell
was an opponent of former Engineer Com
missioner Judscn. and it is said he also
tried to obtain Col. Judson's transfer to
the Panama Canal Zone.
A question has been raised as to the
right OF Mr.. -Frizzell to bring action
against Commissioner Newman. 1t is
declared he pays no personal taxes iu
the District and only s179 in real estate
taxes.

himself in the hearts OF theatergoers

WOMAN SUFFRAGE ADVOCATED
DIR. BelVn A. Lockwood Receives
Official Copy of Hngue Resolution.

DR.. Belva A. Lockwood. who was a
delegate to the recent Twentieth Interna-
tional Peace Conference in The Hague,
yesterday received an official copy of the
resolution on peace and woman suffrage
there adopted.
The resolution. offered by Jaakoff Pre-
locker, A delegate to the conference from
the Mems International Alliance for
Woman Suffrage, and seconded by Lieut.
Col. w. Mansfeldt, secretary of the alli-
ance, is as follows:
That in view of the fact that women
are not less deeply interested in the
blessings of peace than men, and are. in
deed, by their natural maternal instinct,
even more anxious for the lives, health
and happiness Of their sons, but being
deprived in most States of the parlia-
mentary vote, cannot help fully and ef-
fectively the cause of international arbi-
tration by direct influence upon parlia-
ment and governments, the Twentieth
Universal Peace Congress expresses its
conviction that the political 'enfranchise-
ment of women is most desirable on this
as well as on many other moral and
economic grounds and would lead to
speedier arbitrament of international
disputes"

CrOss-SIitrh Towels.

For the bride who wishes to have
even her everyday" towels dainty
there is no easier method of decorating
them than by embroidering her initials
in cross-stitch. A very good-looking
towel may be bought for . or 80 cents
in a good quality of huck, and II the
hem has a row of blue or pink dots or
scallops the effect is even prettier. Then
the letters may be worked in the mer-
cerized cotton with tiny pink roses and
green leaves on the cross bars of the
letters. These designs may be pur-
chased at the embroidery counter and
may be done so quickly and with so lit
tie practice that one is more than re-
paid for the effort when one sees the
dainty towel

Making Birthday Aprons

A certain resourceful needlewoman who
has a hobby for making and giving
birthday aprons says that she saves all
sheer remnants-lawn, dimities, batistes,
colored organdies, and many other kinds
of material of a half-yard or Over-for
this very purpose. Then, too. she is ever
on the lookout for cheap short lengths
Of lace and ends of ribbons on the bar
gain counters. In some instances, one
edge Of the insertion can be clipped to
form an edging to match. Her economy
and resourcefulness goes still further, for
she fairly pounces upon these heavy
satin ribbons that frequently adorn
candy boxes, to say nothing of the lace
saved from cast-off dresses and lingerie
waists.
For many reasons one can't have too
many attractive aprons. For instance,
next to feeding the brute" a dainty
apron displayed upon the person of my
lady is the surest way to my lords heart
