being in business together, and making
their millions just as easy as falling off

They hadn't been particularly congenial
out in the wilds during the time the vast
wealth was accommodating, and when they
started out for the same destination it
was with misgivings. because their ideas
of society and the world were so entirely
different.
They each wanted a nice little niche in
the social world and they each knew one
another's hopes and dreams by their first
names," and one Of them wondered aloud

Still
She was lonely. for the people who called
were not the ones she wanted to know.
and those she wanted to know stayed se-
curey away.
One day the "showy one" received
simple note from the ''other woman" ask
ing her to come in to tea

even the thought of an old neighbor invt-
ing her to something quiet and simple ap-
pea,ed to her
When she arrived she found the rooms

the "showy one remained and entreated
the ''other woman to tell her how she

rived in my new home, that the wlstful

into the inner circle rarely get further
than the street end of the awning. They
are human doormats. The report of my
great wealth had preceded me, and when
l came making no display whatsoever, the
social world was family disappointed, and
very much interested. It was generally
understood that [ was not socially in

to solve the mystery of the soul of the
desert and that I'd moved to larger
city to enable me TO carry on my re-
searches. My simplicity of dress and
quiet living rather corroborated the the-
ory that had launched and--well. there's
little more to tell"
"You see," she continued after a pause

were uncertain as to the possibility OF
r%escuing any Of the men alive, while a
statement from Fl Paso, Texas, ex.
pressed hope that most Of the cntombcd

tage. There will be demonstrations in
artistic and exquisite care of the home;
in table setting for breakfast, luncheon
and dinner, and in the care of the pam

can be had in life and how to acquire
them.
Expert demonstrators will show the

Bankruptcy Docket Light.

~Jackson.-One of the best evidences
presented to demonstrate that times in
this part of the state are better. and
that, Notwithstanding the high cost of
existence, the assumption by the people
of bond issue responsibilities for public
improvements and the extension of the
automobile industry and traffic, is pre-.
scented by the comparative lightness Of
the bankruptcy docket. United States
Clerk L. B. Moseley, who is the record
er of these cases, reports much fewer
bankruptcy cases, either voluntary or in
voluntary, than usual during the past
few months. During the past fortnight
only one petition, involving slight liza
bility, has been filed in this district.
and SIMILAR conditions are said to pre-
vail in other Mississippi districts.
