My feeling for Clifford at this time
was a queer medley of a certain kind of
love and disappointment, Yet, as l left
him to try on the dress so that he might
decide as to my wearing it, the love
was uppermoSt in spite of his unkind-
ness. II is not easy to quench entirely
the love of a young girl who has known
only one lover, her husband; especially
if that husband is also the father of her
child
l knew the dress was becoming and
stylish. SO l pirouetted gaily before
him.

Clifford gave me a sharp look as I
declared my intention, but made no re-
mark, and the subject of the dinner
party was not referred to by either of
us again that evening.
The Mans Privilege
But, foolishly, l couldn't help but
ask Clifford where he was going that
ne could not accompany me. As soon as
L had voiced the question, was sorry,
for he scowled at me, and returned:
''What difference does it make where

hoped the young man who was to take

Christmas Holiday Will
Be Observed by Schools

If any school Riddles" have been
tretting over the fact that there might
be no Christmas vacation because OF
the helated opening of school, their
hearts have been set at rest by a re-
cent decision of the School Board. All
the regular school holidays will be OBJ
served up until March I6

through the mandate of the State
Health authorities who prohibited the
opening of the schools throughout the
State because OF the infantile paraly-
sis epidemic. Which no final conclu-
sion has been reached in this city as

that if the work can be made up dur
ing the shortened term il may not be
necessary to prolong the school term.
Reports for the first month at some of
the buildings show that better work
than ever is being done and that the
pupils are responding to the request
for more diligent work.

1t was different. Together they sailed
on creek near their home. Always

the stories they told. but the eager
little listener did.
At high school Paud was noted for
his unusual mental ability. Mathema-

delight, and the Kaiser his worshiped
god.
Twenty five years ago William left
the fatherland for America, but letters
have kept them constantly in touch
with one another.

Crew of Powhatan, of Mer-

Flames Under Control

Boston, Nov. 25. - The steamer
Powhatan of the Merchants and Min
ers Line which left Boston last night
for Baltimore with sixteen passengers
and general cargo. caught fire early
to-day off Block Island. She inn
mediately sent out a call for help but
before coast guard cutters had reach
ed the scene Captain Chase had re-
ported the fire which was in the for
ward hold, was under control and
tfat the vessel had anchored in Block
Island harbor.
The extent of the damage was not
learned at the company's offices here
although it was stated that the Pow
hatan would continue her voyage af-
ter an examination of her machinery.
After a more careful examination
or the vessel. which had heavy list
to port Captain Chase reported that
me Powhatan would proceed to Prov
ldence to land her passengers. The
list was due, 1t was said. to the shift
ing of the cargo in the forward hold
and to the flood of water which was
pumped into her to extinguish the
fire. Later estimates indicated con-
siderable damage to the cargo
