It has taken an opposite direction.
The professional buffer is OF the same
pattern. She is about to sing before the
queen-in private sudience-or she Is on
the eve OF signing a contract to so into

company Of her own in a few weeks.
or she has a book ready for the press
which all the publishers are fighting
over, or she is engaged TO take an i'm
portant position on the leading newspa-
per of the day--until you meet her again.
Then she has new repertoire OF re-
markable things which are about to hap

IL Is so much wiser to let our actions

The ready buffer wastes in words the

The woman who knows all about the
family history of your friends and who
carries the key to their skeleton closets
is familiar to all humanity. No matter
whom you mention-a stranger. as you
suppose. from another town, who is com
ing to visit you or whom you have Wis
ited-she straightway sets forth on a re-
cital of the doings of the grandparents
or more distant relatives of your friends.
She knew the aunt at school or was
bridesmaid at the uncle's wedding. and
recounts what a scamp he proved TO
be, etc
If you seem embarrassed by her nara
tive she conciliates you by remarking
that every flock has black sheep, and
that the wool of the white ones is all
the fairer by the contrast. And she con-
cudes with brilliant and original ref
erence ito the small size Of the world

If you are aggressive and ask her to

and kept out OF sight by her poor. petty

One of the follies of superstition is to
turn certain animals into witches. A
pair Of these witch animals are to be
seen in the photographs herewith. These
are lo-ises. and they prowl by night In
the woods OF Ceylon and the Malay Pen
Ursula. They are also found in Africa.
Tho mystic charm which is attributed to
them resides in their eyes.
The loris is a cousin to the monkey.
He is still more closely related to the
lemur, which is peculiarly a Madagas-
car animal. although found, in some Of
his varieties, elsewhere.
1t is not wonderful that the loris should
be regarded by ignorant sayages as an
animal possessing magical powers With
his slender limbs writing spectre-like

and his huge eyes cleaning in the NOON

creeps silently about at night surprising
his prey. which consists OF little peace

She drove home. Her husband had long

June Finds Work.


Back near the abandoned taxi there was
frantic group. Ned Warner, his face
as set as IL It had been chiseled from
marble, stood in the center Of the road
. with his fists clenched until his nails dug
into his palms. There could be no doubt
now that Gilbert Blye's pursuit of Neds
wife, June. was deliberate and purpose
full.
Up came Mrs. Blyes auto.
You're to Jumr In with Mrs. Blye,
Ned. and go straight onl" Iris shouted.
Get right in Don't waste a minute!"
And she fairly showed the grim young
husband of June Warner into the seat by
the side of the determined wife Of the
man with the black Vandyke. The cleo
trie rolled away at its utmost speed.
At Blye's club the limousine stopped,
while the black Vandyked man alighted.
June smiled as she bade him good night,
but she was very thoughtful nevertheless
and troubled. Blye stood on the steps of
the club and gazed after the receding
car with a smile OF satisfaction.
The limousine sped on to the address
which Blye had given the driver. Marie
saw panic In June's face She found the
little hands Of June cold with nervous
collapse.

they will, then the democrats should

There is a strong possibility that
the democrats will be able to carry
Iowa next year with either Allen or
Cosson the nominee of the republican
party, and in my opinion the line of
battle must be drawn and the fight
made on local option as opposed to
prohibition advocated by both Allen
and Cosson.''
Mr.. Hamilton was asked who in his
opinion, should be the man to make
the fight for the democrats. He re-
piled that he had not given the mat
ter much thought, and about the only
information he had on who were likely
to be candidates was that which he
had obtained from the newspapers. He
was of the opinion, however that since
