much that even this woman, for all
her knowledge, could know little of.
While she could not learn all from Lit

make her father investigate.

Gloria poured a glass Of water for
her. Then, feeling that she had not
been considerable in asking the girl to
tax her little strength by the recital OF
a story that sadly wasted her vital en-
ergy, she begged her to rest.
You're still a bit feverish. Lie
down now and rest. Try to go to
sleep, and I'll sit here and read"
Soon her patient seemed to sleep,
and Gloria picked up a book and tried
to read. The revelations to which she
had listened made all possibility OF
concentration upon the printed page
out of the question. Suddenly it oc.

There are stunning roses scented with
the same fragrance which add an
effective bit of color to any costume
when thrust carelessly through the sash
or belt. These roses are made of satin
and have long stem and foliage. The
scent. the shape and the color make
them an excellent imitation of the real
thing for the sum of 81.
Good taste and fashion go hand in
hand in debating that jewelry appro-
pirate for evening wear is entirely out
of place in the morning, when only orn-
aments of actual use are suitable as
for example simple brooch that holds
the collar In place. If a woman is in
the habit of wearing earrings-which.

/ simple pin at the throat either in bar,

worn in the forenoon with good taste.
! but in the whole realm of jewelry the
pearl necklace of single strand is
the only piece that may be worn with
absolute good taste mornings. after
moons or evenings.
1t is difficult nowadays for any one
except a connoisseur to tell the diff

pearls and the marvellous limitations
procurable at moderate prices. but
weight is always sure proof of gen.
uin pearls. Imitation pearls or even or
binary pearl beads. generally acquire
the warm. translucent tint of the real
pearl by contract with the flesh, and

moderately priced string of pearl beads
should wear it night and day for q
month until the beads lose the chalk
white shade of newness and take on
the warm. creamy tint that is consid-
cred so beautiful.

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL

Indianapolis Ind. Aug. 7.--Ldeutenant
Governor w. p. O'Nein. OF Mishawaka,
and Thomas Duncan, chairman of the
public service commission, had a red
hot rag chewing" match, at the state
house, yesterday, the very first time
they ever met each other. Some one
introduced them, and ii was not long
until they were at it good and strong.
1t all came about over the fact that the
Lieutenant Governor has two of the
best rooms in the state house for his
own use, while the public service com
mission is crowded so badly that it
has no room to turn around.
The state house has been badly
crowded for several years. At least.
that is what the state officials say,
but II has always been the belief that
a number of the departments could
well get along with a great deal less
room than they were using. For in
stance. the old state railroad commits
sion has five of the finest rooms in the
state house. when, in fact. 1t could have
well got along with two or three One
of these rooms was used as a hearing
room. and it was not in use more than
one fourth of the time. Another was a

the commission had Is office. He did

terribly crowded before the public ac-
counting department was created but
space was made for 1t by cramping the
others little closer together and the
state house did not seem to be any
more crowded than before. New COM
missions created and board organ
lied and a lot of new offices created at
every session but they have all gotten
into the state house some way.
When the public service commits
sion was organized 1t was said that the
state would be compelled to seek ad-
ditional room outside the state house,
but this has not been done yet.
The legislature last winter passed a
bill setting apart for the exclusive use
of the Lieutenant Governor two of the
best rooms on the second floor. One is
a small room, which always has been
the office of the Lieutenant Governor.
But this bill gave him this room and
the beautiful big room adjoining, which
formerly was the private office of the
chairman of the railroad commission.
Just what the Lieutenant Governor
needs with these two rooms, is a ques-
ton, because he is only at the state
house sixty days in each two years.
But. be that as it may the two rooms
Were given to him. Lieutenant Cover

rooms But this is not often.
No sooner had Commissioner Duncan
and Lieutenant Governor O'Neill been
introduced than Duncan hoped ONeill
about the rooms. He said he could not
see what he wanted with them, when
the public service commission was SO
badly crowded.
ONeill told i'm that the legislature
had given him the rooms. But this
only made Duncan the madden, and he
denounced everybody connected with
the matter. He even questioned the
right of the Legislature to set apart the
roms for the lieutenant governor when
the building was so badly crowded.
1t is said that sparks flew during the
conversation, and that the air turned
blue for a few minutes. Mr.. O'Neill did
not do much of the talking, his answer
to Duncan's trusts being that the legis-
lature had done 1t.
Il don't care what mans politics is
nor what side of the fence he is on,
said Duncan, that makes no difference

Duncan and ONeil1 are both Demo-
Gratis, but that did not stop the ham,
merfest. Persons who knew about the
incident said that 1t was one of the
most peppery scenes that has taken
place in the state hous in many a day.
1t was a dog fall. Nobody won. Duncan
spoke his piece and got his sentiments
out Of his system. and at the conclus-
ion O'Neill still had the rooms, while
Duncan only had a ruffled disposition.
O'Neill said that the Panama-Pacific
Exposition Commission would begin
holding meetings soon. and that it
would use his suite of rooms. A manag-
ing director and a secretary to the COM
mission will be chosen soon, and it is
said that Lieutenant Governor O'Neill
is a candidate for the dictatorship
