ternoon they declared they were Just
going for a little spin along the road
to Baltimore" 1t became known today
that they not only went "along the
road" but actually made the trip to
the neighboring city. and there began a
journey on the road of matrimOny.
Blushingly the supposed Miss Stamp"

White. She said that both she and her
young husgband, who is well known
among the younger set of the city. had
decided to make the marital venture in
quiet, transformations manner"
Il wonder who told" she asked her
interviewer It's a shame it couldn't
have been kept a secret for a little
longer To be married and realize that

as an argument for a new committee

DIR. Cora smith King. the third
speaker. made one of the most point
ed talks of the morning asserting
that the women OF Washington State
had made more lam, jelly, and pre-
serves during the last three years.

in the previous ten years" She said
this was possible because they had
won their fight for the ballot and
now. could stay at home.
There was much craning OF necks
when DR.. Wiley was introduced to the
committee, and the food expert prefaced
his statement by the assertion that he
appeared as a disfranchised man, by
reason of my residence In the Capital Of
the greatest republic and exponent OF
liberty in the world"
Chief interest centered in the ad-
dress of Miss Adams. who was inter-
rupted frequently by Congressman
Hardwick, who made almost as much
of a speech to her as she did to him
and to the rest of the committee.
His argument was that the question
of suffrage was left entirely to the sew
eraI States individually. and should be
SO settled, but Miss Adams cited the
Fifteenth Amendment to show him that
suffrage legislation had been before the
National Congress.

while the cobbler unused there pass
ed his pane
A beggar drenched by the driving
rain;
lie called him in from the stony
street,
And gave him shoes for his bruised
feet.
The beggar went, and there came a
crone,
Her face with wrinkles of sorrow
sown;
A bundle of faggots bowed her back,
And she was spent with the wrench
and rack.
He gave her his loaf and steadied her
load
AS she took her way on the weary
road.
Then to his door came a little child,
Lost and afraid in the world so wild
In the big dark world. Catching it
up,
He gave it milk in the waiting cup
And led it home to its mothers arms,
Out of the reach Of the worlds alarms.
THE day went down in the Grim

And with it the hope of the blessed
Guest;
And Conrad sighed as the world turn

why is it, Lord, that your feet de-

Did you forget that this was the day?'

evening at their hall. Mrs. Sandlin,
clerk of the circle, on arriving at the
hall, discovered that the business had
all beani transacted and that they
we're only awaiting the minutes.
She knew she was on time and
could not understand why the meet
ing had been hurried up so, but Mrs.
Holland, Guardian, gave a satisfac-
tory explanation.
When Mrs. Sandlin had finished her
duties as clerk and was expecting the
circle to adjourn, Mrs. Holland rose
and in a very graceful speech pre-
sented her with a lovely cut glass
fern dish, in behalf of the circle, who
had discovered that this was Mrs.
Sandlin's birthday. Completely taken
by surprise, Mrs. Sandlin was trying
to collect her wits to make a fitting
response, when Miss Matte Aston
presented her with 4 handsome cut
glass bowl as a token Of appreciation
from the drill team. Mrs. Sandlin
could think of nothing to say The
gifts were absolutely so unexpected,
except a heartfelt Thank you" which
was the very incest way in which
she dould have received the gifts.

 |'Yes,'' she said, Efthere should be smaller casket. Let us look further.''
 There were perhaps a dozen large boxes. I opened them all. Some were quite empty, with a little pile of dust in them and few shreds of color here and there which indicated silk had been packed in them. There were also broken barrels around which st1li cIung a faint odor of spices. There were piles Of rotted debris further on, and as I stirred one of them with my sword I struck something more solid. I brushed aside what seemed to be the decayed remains of cordage and canvas and finally came upon a smaller casket bound, hinged, and cornered with some kind of metal which afterward found to be silver, for iron would have rust ed away long since. The casket was about a foot long by six inches wide and six inches deep. The metal which completely covered it was curiously chased. The casket was locked. crumbled the wood in my hands, but could not open the lock. The edge of my ax, however, proved a potent key, and at last forced it apart, and as did so out fell little heap of what judged to be precious stones. There were green, red, blue and white ones, among them many pearls sadly discoI- ored and valueless The stones glis- tened with an almost living energy. My mistress was more familiar with these things than I, and I presented handful to her.
 E'Why, they are precious stones!'' she cried in an awe struck whisper. "Lookr' She held up a diamond as big as her thumb nail. It sparkled like a sun in the candlelight And there is an emerald,'' she cried, picking up one of the green stones. 'This blue one is a sapphire; this a ruby. Why" she exclaimed, ''here is fortune alone These jewels must be of fabulous val ue. The gold and silver we might leave behind, but these we can carry with us.''
 In my heart I was sorry we had found them, yet had the grace inn med1ately to say:

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Headaches
Bx BLANCHE BEACON

Beastly thfngs-and we most of us have them. Here is what I had to 1earn-to wear glasses. I suffered proverbial tortures with a variety of headaches that would have astonish d a medical dictionary. Then our dear old family doctor gave me a sound talking-to, with the result that I hur- ried to an oculist. Now I am havin g all sorts of fun with a pair of-specs!
 And my headaches have gone.
 But one of the things I learned dur ing my seige, was how to obtain tenn porary relief without the use of drugs. It is by means of massage
 While it is far better if another per son can be pressed into service to do the actual massage, it is not necessary.
 First of all, relax completely in a comfortable chair. It is a good plan to apply cold, wet cloths to the head before comm encing.
 Now close your eyes, and with the first and second fingers of each hand. describe an arc under the eyes, begin ming at the nose and stroking out wards.
 With the same two fingers, describe an arc above the eyes, beginning at
