To St. Etheldreda we owe the word "tawdry." The saint knew no such word. but tho origin of 1t is clear enough. For St. Etheldreda was pop ulafly known as St. Audry, and at s. Audry's fair were sold St. Audrey 'aces. which in process of time became clipped into "tawdry laces." Finally Ine new adjective was applied to any anery of similsr grade.

"Good Evening""

and orchids in the middle of the table and melons from Egypt and dessert that looked like a tower and you bit into it like ice cream and it was something else all frothy. We'll have to have real things from caterer"
 "We will not!" decided Mrs. Bickles, firmly. T don't approve at all of act. ing as though babies were grown-up people! But I'll have a salad and some delicious sandwiches if you'd rather!"
 q hope you'll come down and meet them, mother, that evening"" Evange- line added kindly.
 Mrs. Bickles almost wept when she rehearsed this to her husband.
 On the evening of the club menting Bickles chanced to be upstairs obey ing Evangeline's orders. For Evan geline had cast mortified glance at him after dinner and had ordered him to shave at once and put on shoes in- stead of house slippers. "You don't need to get into your tuxedo" she called after him. "Just your new business suit!"
 Bickles nearly cut himself twice thinking about this. His head whirled slightly. For parcel of children!" he repeated over and over, in a be- wildered tone. Downstairs he heard the noise of arrivals and the subdued murmur of voices. A little later Mrs. Bickles came to him. She had curi- ous expression about her mouth.
 Boys and girls all here?" Bickles asked as he shrugged into his coat.
 "Yes," said his wife rather faintly. "The-the boys and girls are here!"
 ''I'll run down and say hello to them, then," Bickles said and trotter downstairs.
 He paused in the doorway of the living room. A youngster six feet tan unfolded himself from the nearest chair. Another youngster apparently six inches taller than the first one rose and stretched out next to him. All over the room young giants were rising from their chairs. Scattered among them sat self possessed young women. They regarded Pickles with cool. level eyes. rather critically.
 Good evening"" said the young giants with polite condescension. Rlckles had to reach up to shake hands with them.
 "Er-" he began and then stopped, He had intended to say something about pitching in and having good time, but it was manifestly impossi- ble for him to speak patronizingly. T am glad to have met you" he said solemnly. Then he turned and went up stairs.
 In the little sitting room he found Mrs. Bickles.
 "Shelved!" Bickles murmured. For the first time. shelved to the upstairs while our daughter entertains in the | parlor below!"

PUT ON THE SHELF
By CORA JOHNSON.

The Bickleses had not the least idea what was happening to them. They merely thought they were giving pleasure to their child. Now, there is a great difference in people-and the Bickleses were entirely of the other sort They were lively and up- to-date and enjoyed life and belonged to a dancing club, even though Evan geline was fifteen-and Mrs. Bickles had never been guilty of saying: "Oh, I can't wear that color any more-it's too giddy for my age!" Nor had Bickles yet come to the point where he rattled the evening paper and growled and yawned and cried: "Oh, confound it! Have got to get dressed to go put tonight? Why can't we ever stay at home comfortably?
 Tt will be very nice for Evange- line to have the first meeting of the Five Hundred club here, I'm sure" Mrs. Bickles said one day. 'It is certainly time that she was forming 8 circle of friends"
 "Yes," Bickles had agreed. "1 en.  joy having a crowd of girls and boys playing around. Somehow, the last three or four years there hasn't been such a mob here."
 "Well, they get beyond the doll and top age, you know" Mrs. Bickles ex- plained. "There has to be something nowadays to draw them together"
 The day before the meeting of the club Evangeline fell back limp and pale at the casual mention of cider and doughnuts. She regarded her maternal parent with something very much like pity and mingled with a lively horror.
 "Mother!" she murmured faintly. ''Why, I'd die if you served those! Why, Sissy Spinks is coming and you know I was at her luncheon two weeks ago, and they had six courses

STRUGGLE ON WILLIAMS.
NOMINATION PROBABLE.
Confirmation as Comptroller 70 Cur
reney May Meet Difficulties
in the Senate.
POWERS TOO FAR-REAcHINc

II President Wilson sends to the Senate
the nomination Of John SHELTON Williams
for Comptroller of the Currency. as he
In expected to do at an early day. there
will be much delay In confirming the
nomination II, indeed, 1t be confirmed.
Mr.. Williams Is now Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Several Senators.
mostly Republicans, have indicated clear
ly that they look with disfavor on the
proposal to make Mr.. Williams Comp
troller of the Currency. The ONCE Is re-
garded by most of the Senators as one
of the most important in the gift OF the
President 1t will be even more impor-
tant in its relations to the administration
of the new currency act.
II the President insists on making the
nomination, he will probably be able ulti-
mately to have the nomination confirmed.
But the delay In confirming the nomina-
ton might turn out to be embarrassing
to the administration in the work OF
putting the new currency system into
operation.
There is a feeling among some Of the
Senators that Mr.. Williams attitude to-
ward certain national banks is SO hostile
that he should not be placed In posi-
ton where he could use the authority OF
the government to harass men for whom
he had formed a personal dislike In the
course Of private business before he en-
tered public life. This feeling exists
among some OF the Senators regardless
of the merits of the controversy between
Mr.. Williams and his adversaries-
As Comptroller of the Currency. Mr..
Williams would WELD power that might
be employed in a way that was never in
tended by Congress when Ii created the
office OF Comptroller of the Currency.

BILL TO MAKE PANAMA
FREE TRADE TERRITORY
Representative Copley Thinks New
Measure Would Be Accepted Gladly
by Industrial Interests.

A bin to set aside the Canal Zone as
free trade territory, where merchants
Of the world may store their goods for
distribution to South American ports and
the far East will be introduced soon after
Congress convenes by Representative Ira
C. Copley. of Illinois.
The effect of such q step, according to
Mr.. Copley. would be to make the Canal
Zone the greatest trade center in the
world. Merchants could build wharves
and great storehouses and bring their
cargoes right to their own wharves and
store their goods awaiting orders.
THE big free trade ports of the world
at present are Hamburg, Hongkong. and
Singapore" said Mr.. Copley. In Ham,
burg the German government owns
about ZOO acres. which is set aside as
free territory. Merchants may land their
they take them over the line they are
subject to the German tariffs. The ire
mendous amount of commerce OF these
three ports gives an idea of the vast
trade development that would result on
the Canal Zone IL the plan were to be
put into effect.
II think II would be of great value
to manufacturers. They could ship whole
cargoes OF their goods to the zone and
get correspondingly low transportation
rates. The army authorities would prob
ably oppose II, because they want every
one barred from the zone. think other
nations Of the world would be Just as
much interested in looking to the safety
OF the canal as We are. and in five or
ten years We will pass the point where
great war between this country and
any other would be impossible"
