CHAPTER xvIll.
Two Lovely Women,

There was music at the Villa des
Bougainvilleas. Miss Redmond sang;
not Goodnight, God Keep You Safe,"
but other things. Ever since her talk
with Hammet Abou she. had been,
If not gay, in good spirits, more like
her old self, and the Marquise d Esclig-

Charles de Sabron had not been cut
too deeply upon her mind. The mar

Of the room. enjoyed the picture
(Sabron would not have added 1t to
his collection) of her niece at the
piano and the Due de fremont by her
side. The Comtesse de la Maine sat
in little shadow of her own, musing
and enjoying the picture of the Due
de fremont and Miss Redmond very

the two men and seriously wounding the
woman with a bullet in her breast. The
house was looted, but the woman's
valuable jewels upon her person were un-
molested.
Mrs, Hughes, the police say, was the
woman of rare beauty who, 15 years ago,
stood trial for her life three times at
Greenville, s. c., on a charge of killing
her wealthy husband. She was finally
acquitted

NATION WILL COME
TO CELEBRATE ITS
NEXT FOURTH HERE
State Will Be Asked to Ap-
propriate $4,000 for F'es-
tivities in Birthplace of
Freedom"

The nation will come to Philadelphia
on July next to celebrate the annver-
sary of the birth of American independ-
ence. Plans to hold ceremonies on an
even bigger and broader scale than last
year. when nearly every State in the
Union participated, and to make Phila-
delphia's observance of independence Day
permanently of national character are
already under way.
The first move to hold annually a ma
tion-wide celebration of the greatest of
American civic days In Philadelphia, the
birthplace OF freedom" will be. made
during the present session of the Iegis-
lature, when State appropriation of
$4,000 will be asked by business men and
city officials.
This sum will be the nucleus of a fund
which for the next two years. at least,
will provide celebration that will be
national in character A Federal appro-
priation also will be sought, and the
business men of Philadelphia will con-
tribute large share of the funds which
will be used toImake the eyes of the
nation turn toward Philadelphia on July 4
next.
Morris Conn, Common Councilman from
the Sth Ward, who was active in arrang-
ing the Fourth of July program last
year, and who is a member of Councils
Legislative Committee has prepared the
request to the Legislature asking for
the State appropriation.
BUSINESS MEMS PLANS.
Plans are now being made by the busi-
ness men in charge of the arrangements
for TINS years celebration to go to Harris
burg on a special train to make the re-
quest. About 200 business men, besides a
majority of the members of Common ana
Select Councils, will make the trip
Before this trip Is taken the members
of the Philadelphia delegation to the
Legislature will be asked individually to
work in behalf of the appropriation. This
will be done during the present recess
of the Legislature, and the formal re-
quest will be made at Harrisburg soon
after the Legislature reconvenes on jan
uary 49,
If the plans so far discussed for the
observance of the nations birthday ami
versary in Philadelphia this year are car
ried out, the celebration should far sur
pass that of last year, when President
Wilson was the orator of the day and
when six Governors and delegation OF
Congressman attended, representing near
ly every State in the Union.

Every effort will be made to have the
President attend again this year. OF
course In addition, every Governor in
the United States will be invited, and
Congress will again be asked to send an
official representation.
But instead of a short program in Inde-
pendence Square, the United Business
Mems Association and the other organ
lzations of business men which are in
charge of the arrangements are plan
ming a program that will last all during
the day and continue into the evening

The SalutatiOn

which one meets in different parts of the world is
often picturesque.
The Lapanders have practice of rubbing their
noses with the noses of the persons they salute.
In Syria the custom is graceful and pleasing-the
hand is raised with quick but gentle motion to the
heart the lips and to the head to intimate that the
person saluting is willing to serve yOu to think for
you, to speak for you and to act for you.
fine old English Quaker poet used to say "By
all, all means try to be sometimes alone to salute
thysef, what thy soul doth wear dare to look in
this chest for s thine door, and tumble up and down
what thou findest there"
The Syrian salutatOn, centuries DID, is very like
that in vogue today in our two Stores-where the
manners of everybody show our cheerful willingness
to serve you, think for you and act for you.

INCREASE OF ARMY WILL
BE CONSIDERED TONIGHT
Military Men Hopeful of Favorable
Action by Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. LIN view of the
agitation in Congress over the nations s
preparedness for war, special interest was
attached to the meeting of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee tonight to
consider the bills before 1t, providing for
national defense. Army circles expect
favorable action on measures sanctioned
by Secretary Garrison.
Senator Chamberlains bill for the
establishment of a strong military reserve
is among the leading measures. 1t pro-
vides for an enlistment term of three
years and three years of reserve service,
with permission for a soldier In good
standing to be transferred to the reserves
after one years active training.
Increase of the army TO 10000 or possi-
bly, 125 600 enlisted men: an increase or
officers to the extent of 1000 men and addi-
tIonal coast defenses, it is predicted, Will
be the eventual outcome of tonight s
meeting. Whether the short session Will
permit the passage of the reserve force
bill is doubtful, considering the pressure
of other important legislation.

When the books of the Receiver of
Taxes are opened for payments of realty

Monday, January %, the new duplicate
method of billing, instituted by Receiver
of Taxes KeEdrlclS, will be adopted.
The duplicate bill is retained by the
cashier of the tax Office and the original
IbllI, properly stamped, is retained by the
taxpayer. This method will obviate the
necessity of the taxpayers waiting at the
cashiers window until the payment Is
registered as has been necessary under
the single system OF billing. The regis
tering may be done from the duplicate
bill retained by the cashier. The new
method is expected to eliminate the long
waiting in line by taxpayers, especially
