After this outburst, Mae Hope,
would-be song writer, sank into a
chair, thrust a bulky envelope from the
| Frank Charity Music Publishers into
her desk, and sat hopelessly gazing at
the small epistle from the same office
and with a Slight touch Of humor and
faint suggestion Of a smile, recited
the contents Of that letter-not

not opened, but from memory:
"Sorry, Miss Hope, that this is not
yet quite up to the standard, but sim
cerely trust you will not be discour-
aged, etc., etc."
| For three years Miss Hope had been
receiving these distressing notes from
the genial young publisher, who could
not summon the courage to advise her
to give up. Perhaps he realized it was
merely a case of humoring an mag
mary talent rather than attempting to
earn living as the young lady's in
come was sufficient to keep her alive
without setting fire to the universe by
flashing on the public her picture serv-

verses accompanied by music.

of the third unsuccessful year. Mae
Hope was interrupted at breakfast by
the sound of the door bell.
"a lady to see you, Miss Hope"
spoke the maid.
The name on the card seemed to add
insult to injury.
"'Mrs Frank Charity never knew
he was married. Maybe it is someone
else. Probably somebody knows need
charity. Tell her I will be down i'm

One glance at her visitor assured
Miss Hope it was no stranger, but an
old school friend.
"violet Faithl You? The card reads
Mrs. Charity"
"Why, Mae, you seem surprised"
"How should l know you were mar
ried?"
"violet, stealing glance at the dis
orderly desk, remarked tartly:
perhaps it would be a good idea
to read your letters if you want to
keep up with the parade"
'eYou don't mean," picking up the
bulky envelope from the Frank Char

luncheon was served. At the begin
ming Of the luncheon it was suggested
that some OF the retiring officers
should buy refreshments. c. d. Gar
retson, who was a retiring officer, said
he thought It was an appropriate sug-
gestion, and he for one was willing
to buy the drinks. Accordingly. Mr.
GarretsOn called the head waiter and
ordered cocktails. The supposed
cocktails, each containing what look
ed to be a green cherry, were brought
on. AT this point Mr. Garretson said
he desired to give toast to the retir-
ing president, Dr.. Harrison W. Howell.
The toast was given and the Rotarians
started TO drink what they thought
were cocktails AS mos OF them
drained their glasses and bit into the
supposed cherry there were many wry
faces around the festive board. The
cocktail proved to be warm weak tea
and the supposed cherries were
olives. Everyone enjoyed the joke and
the incident added much to the en-
/ ioyment of the evening.
