Should he find 1t necessary to adopt
title he would assume to be Bari of
Lortston. He might be obliged to
adopt different names at different
times. but he would start with his own
name, John Morton.
He went to a western city and on the
train fell in with an Englishman, to
whom he threw out hints as to his po-
sition in England and his object in
coming to America. The acquaintance
having been thus started. Morton asked
his new found friend II he could sug-

they were approaching and where the
Englishman lived who would give him
such information of American institu-
tions as he was looking for. This led
to Morton's Introduction into the fam
lily of Mr.. Winslow Gardner.
Mr.. Morton had Informed Mr.. Gard
ner that on no account would he be
drawn into nny social prominence. He
refused to give any information as to
the title he bore or admit that he had a
title, for the moment he confessed his
rank he would be loaded with invita-
tions. Mr.. Gardner understood all
that and agreed to say nothing to COM
plicate matters. He invited him to din
ner informally. where he met Miss
Margaret Gardner, young lady OF an
excellent American type. Her mother,
to whom Mr.. Gardner had confided the
secret that they were entertaining a
British peer. was profuse in her atten-
tions to Morton, but Miss Margaret,
whose perceptions were more refined,
thought that she could detect at times
certain indications that their guest
was not to the manner born. Whether
his laugh was now and then a trifie
loud or that some OF his his were bit
too smoothly pronounced she could not
tell. Nevertheless there was something
+ about him that led her to believe he
did not belong to the higher English
classes. But when, after Mr.. Mortons

Sixty Thousand Coming
In Colonist Specials
Beginning September 25
O.0ue

"The people who came here last
year as colonists are now residents y
said F. E. Batturs, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific, "and all
of them are boosters. They have been
writing to their eastern friends and
relatives, and the effect will be ap-
preciated when the trains begin to
arrive with the colonists.
There will be a high water mark
of travel here from Europe. There
has been a campaign of publicity m
European countries which has attract
ed a good class of people, the frugal
and industrious, who make ideal
farmers.
Imperial valley had an extra pros
porous season this summer; 1000 car
loads of fruit were shipped from
there and thousands of head of cat
tie were fattened in the valley. The
fame of that country has gone abroad
and the measure of travel will be I'M
precedented into that empire.
"The development in the Antelope
valley around Palmdale and Lancas-
ter has had a marked effect. The
shifting of the population from the
east to the west has agricultural sig
nificance. You will find that a large
proportion of colonists are looking
for farm lands. 1t is to them that
we owe such miracles as the develop
ment of the Antelope valley, which
was formerly desert. And here we
see the effect of cumulative aGver-
tising again, for every former colonist
who is now a resident of Antelope val
ley, is writing to his eastern friends
about the opportunities here.
''The same situation prevails up in
the Tehachapi. The other day | found
$500 acres of apples and pears had
been set out around Tehachapi. The
prediction ten years ago that this
would occur would have been treated
as a ludicrous bit of insanity. Yet
these are the things the colonists have
done, and they help make up the
world of attractions in California for
others.
"The 100000 postcards advertis-
ing California put out by the Southern
Pacific have ben sent all over the
country and they have been doing
their work. Our agents report an
unparalleled interest in California, not

only as evidenced by inquiries, but al
so as regards to reservations"
The Salt Lake will have to put on
its last item of rolling stock, accord
ing to T. C. Peck, general passenger
agent of that line.
''The campaign to interest people in
California has never progressed so
satisfactorily as this season." he said.
"The travel will be considerably heav-
ier than it was last year.
at might be assumed that the peo-
pie would wait until 1915, the year of
the fair, but the magnetic attraction
seems to be present one, and not
something to be postponed. True,
the fair year travel will be tremend-
Gus, but we are fortunate in proiting
at this time from the unexampled
advertising
california and especially Southern
California, is the best advertised sec
ton on earth. Millions of letters go
east every year praising this country,
and the only thing that prevents tens
of thousands of people from coming
here forthwith is the ability to make
suitable arrangements.
"But conditions have so conspired
the past summer, in the middle west
particularly, that, more people than
ever have found the westward impulse
irresistible. During the twenty days
of the rate we expect to be up to our
necks in the work of increasing to
very material extent the population
of Southern California, and it will be
an extremely desirable addition, as
the past has proved with respect to
colonists."

ist business. At his office it was

rather poor, but when hanging at a
window with the light back of it moth
ing could be prettier, and certainly
nothing less expensive. Make the cur
tains perfectly straight, with a wide
hem. Put them on a brass rod and
they will hang softly giving a pecul-
lar light that is unusually suggestive
of mellow sunlight.
Over the window frame heavier
material is necessary. For all living
rooms cretonne or English chintz in
yellow and brown tones is pretty, but
cotton poplin is no more expensive
and much more elegant and artistic.
Poplin can be purchased in all shades
of green, brown or red, and is a good
substitute for velours in winter, as it
looks quite as warm, and, unlike vel
ours, it need not be made by an expert
to look well.
Outside draperies should be cut
straight the same as those next the
window, using a width for each side.
Hem across the bottom and attach the
other end to a rod or tack to either
side Of the window frame as they will
not be drawn, but left to hang plain
at the side. Across the top of the win
dow valance is good. Cut the pop
lin in half lengthwise, making a cas-
ing, with heading, and have it twice
as wide as the window. Run the rod
through the casing.
For bedroom white cheesecloth is
advantageous. Cheesecloth washes like
linen, always looks fresh, apparently
never wears out and in color never
seems to fade Pink in delicate shade
is also pretty for a bedroom, as the
light has way of shining through it
which is very alluring, almost like a
sunset glow.
Inside curtains of cretonne may De
made of a width of the material less
the width that is taken off for the
pleating. Make box pleats about two
inches wide and the same distance
apart, stitch and put around the sides
and bottom of curtains.
The best quality of cheesecloth in
all colors can be bought for 10 cents
yard, and silk muslin and cotton pop
lin at 25 cents.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2O.-The
transcontinental railroads with Los
Angeles as a terminus announced yes
terday that they are now preparing 10
haul more colonists to Southern Cali
fornia than have ever come before III
any one season.
The colonist rates on all these roads
become effective Sept. 25 and last up
to and including October 10. The area
to be tapped is all the country east
of Colorado to the Atlantic and that
still longer sweep from the top of
Canada down to the Gulf of Mexico.
The railroad men will not essay
prophecy in the matter of the num-
Der to be brought here for permanent
residence or home making, but they
all join in saying that the in-pouring
will be bigger than last years.
Sixty thousand is declared to be a
conservative estimate.
The Southern Pacific will bring in
$4,000 over its two lines.
The Santa Fe will carry 10000 it
is estimated.
The Salt Lake route will haul
$4,000.
More of these colonists will come
from Iowa than any other state, but
there will be disturbances ip nearly
all middle western commonwealths
and communities, due to the lure of
California
The Southern Pacific has distribut-
ed 100000 post cards throughout
California to be sent east. Officials
of the company say this is the biggest
stroke of advertising ever conceived.
One man was so impressed with the
idea that he got 10000 of the cards
to mail.
The Salt Lake has put out $4,000
colonist folders in the middle west and
east and remarkabl interest in Cal
ifornia has been reported on account
of this publicity.
From its offices in Chicago and
Kansas City the Santa Fe has been
conducting an unusual campaign.
The increase in California and par
ticularly Southern California is a.
tributed to the intensified advertising
which the San Francisco and San
Diego fair organizations have given
to this country and the cumulative
publicity.

IN large number of American news
papers which have reached me at my
home at Grand Falls, Newfoundland,
| fancy that very few of them are
getting more than the floating talk Of
Fleet street.
Home rule is matter of immense
interest of American newspapers be-
cause of the great interest in the
Irish question in the United States.
That the north of Ireland is arming
and drilling and that the government
does not dare take action in what
is already practically a state of re-
bellion are facts that seem to be en-
tirely hidden from the American pub
lic
"Sir Edward Carbon, who is not
only the leader of this movement, but
the leading member of the English
bar, declines any compromise and de-
fies the government to arrest him.
The arming and drilling are proceed
ing night and day, and it would seem
that an outbreak might be expected
any moment"

81 cannot conceive of any one
drinking liquor any more. than l can

Goodness, Madge, l did not know
you felt that way about it. For my
part think a glass of wine at dinner
helps digestion and it surely adds to
sociabiIity."

one of the things which every one
must decide for himself. | decided

difference in the children of liquor

fathers were not drinkers. It was not

fess l would rather see you drink a
glass of wine or even cocktail than
smoke a cigaret"
(which means that you put sins
against conventionality above the
sins against morality" said.
IhaVe come to the conclusion that
this is the difference in the code of
men and women. Men are more con-
'ventionaI than women; more afraid

shall find that you do not surprise
me any more?" -
81 hope not 1 answered with
smile. -,
This was apropos of my opinion of
the many women sitting about us
smoking cigarets.
The women who go to the Ritz
Carlton are those of the highest So
ciety Of America. They are not Bo-
hemians of any class. They are the
wives, mothers and sweethearts of
men of wealth and position and yet
this is the one place in New York
where women can and do smoke in
public. Dick expected me to be
shocked, especially after what l had
said about "The FoIies."
But 1 refused to be shocked and
answered., 81 can't understand, Dick,
why you think it is morally wrong
for woman, to smoke cigaret and
all right for her to drink cocktail;
and to see woman drink does not
shock you.
Mind, dear" Ihastened to add, 81
don't like to see woman smoke /. l
think it is a. filthy habit, which discol-
ors her teeth and her fingers and en-
velops her with a disagreeable odor
of stale tobacco, but l can't see where
it will warp what you call her moral
nature any more than drinking coffee
or eating chocolate creams, both of
which, when done to excess, will hurt
her quite as much as smoking to
excess.
