CHAPTER XVIII.
The Masked Ball.

The Masked Ball.
About this time-that is 20 say
about the time the Black Hundred wa:
stretching out its powerful secret arms
toward Norton-there arrived in New
York city parsonage. This person
age was the Princess Parlova, fabu'
lousy rich Polish Russian. She leased
fine house near Central park and set
about to conquer social New York.
This was not very difficult, for her
title was perfectly genuine and she
moved in the most exclusive diplo-
matte circles in Europe, which. as
everybody knows, is the most brilliant
in the world. When the new home
was completely decorated, she gave
an elaborate dinner, and that attracted
the newspapers. They began to talk
about her highness, printed portraits
of her, and devoted page occasion
ally in the Sunday editions. She be-
came something of rage. One morn
ing it was announced that the Princess
Parlova would give a masked ball to
formally open her home to society;
and it was this notice that first
brought the Princess Parlova under
Braine's eyes. He was at the Perigoff
apartment at the time.
well, Welt" he unused aloud
what is it," asked Olga turning
away from the piano and ending one
of Chopin's mazurkas brokenl%
Here is the Princess Parlova in
town.
And who is she?''
SHE is the real thing. Olga; a real
princess with vast estates in Poland
with which the greedy Slav next door
has been very gentle"
Il haven't paid much attention to
the social news lately, What about
her?"
"She is giving masked ball to for.
mally open her house on the West side.
And it's going to cost pretty penny"
We'll, you're not telling me this to
make me want to know the princess"
said Olga, petulantly.
"No But I'm going to give you a
letter of introduction to her highness"
"Oh!"
''And you are going to ask her to !
invite two particular friends of yours /
to this wonderful ball of hers"
"Indeed," ironically. That sounds
all very easy" !.
Easier than you think, my child"
Il will not have you call me child"
well. then. Olga"
That's better Now. how will it be-
easier than Think"
Simply this. the Princess Parlova is

Go on!""o.

said, passing the talisman to the count.

THE NEW FEED RULING

TIME new State Agricultural Com
mission, through Secretary Pat
ton, has ruled that all manufac-
turers or importers of feedstuffs be
required to so mark their packages
that the buyer can tell at glance just
what he is buying and in what per-
centages the ingredients are mixed.
This ruling supercedes the old So
called sliding guarantee" by which
unscrupulous dealers found loophole
through the law.
No honest dealer ought to object to
this. Indeed. the reputable manufac-
turer and importer ought to stand by
the department in it's enforcement. 1t
protects them from the operations of
dishonest dealers who undersell them
in the open market because they sell
cheap goods marked to look like the
best and most expensive. The pur-
chaser, beyond question, has a right to
know exactly what he is getting.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL

IT is not likely that much will come
of the suggestion of Senator Cum
Minis that a Senate committee be
named to investigate the feasibility
Of a government monopoly for the
manufacture of all materials needed
Tor the national defense.
This is a foolish proposal. 1t is all
very we'll for the government to con-
.rol sufficiently the manufacture of
ships and munitions to keep prices at
a reasonable level, but it would be the
height of folly to turn all of this work
over to government controlled fac
tories.
In the first place, the people are to
be assessed for additional arms and
equipment, and they should have
some return for their money. In the
second place, to discourage private
manufacturers would be to leave the
country in dire distress at a time
when every available means for the
making of army equipment would be
required to insure the safety of the
country.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-12-14

despite the best endeavors of the rail-
road experts there is still a most
serious situation.
So 1t is that with returning business
and expansion of trade in every direc-
ton the shippers of the country are
suffering from a remarkable conges-
ton in the transportation facilities.
An important development is appre-
citation by the public of the necessity
for directing industrial and business
activities into channels other than
those now clogged with business re-
sulting from the European conflict. 1t
is generally conceded by financial
agencies and the representatives of
large corporations that the basic con-
ditions are sound; that there is ample
capital. enlarged earning power, con-
fdence in the future and a tendency to
broaden all lines of activity, but intelli-
gent care must be exercised in the
processes.
