of the little jade god of dreams and
the coral saliva.
1 think of that little jade god of
dreams very much. Poor little, lone
ly bit of flotsam that out there some
where in the sea is being cast hither
and thither in its long search for it's
mate.
Will Fate, who seems a cruel crea-
tUre, ever bring them together?
Is the story told by Malcolm Stuart
by the wise man" typical of mortal
affinity?
Do we, too, have to go about for
countless ages hoping to find our
other selves; sometimes thinking we
have done so only to be parted by
some Untoward thing and then have
to take up the search again?
Have those two happy people in
the other room found the very one
for which each was unconsciousIy
searching?

The second day of the 1912 G.. o.
P. convention, a remarkable demon
stratiOn in honor of Gov. Hadley,
Roosevelt floor leader, was turned
into a Roosevelt frenzy by a Chicago
woman, Mrs. w. A. Davis, who un-
furled a T. R. picture from a gallery
seat. The Roosevelt men, preparing
to bolt if the roll was not pUrged, con-
tracted for Orchestra Hall for their
rump convention, and Taft leaders
announced they hoped Roosevelt
would get out of the party.
Six days before the 1912 Demo-

party, including Norman Mack, Tom
Taggart, Roger Sullivan and Urey
Woodson, got together in Baltimore
and marked time awaiting the result

Gloria was stupefied. She sat in a

headlines or worse were in all of
them. He pushed them before her.
She pushed them to the floor. Then

Pierpont pushed him back and stalked

Advice to Lovelorn
Marriage Announcements.

Dear Miss Fairfax: We have been Sc
cretly married for almost two years and
are now DESTROYS of announcing our mar
riage. Can you advise just how to do this :"
Is there any form OF announcement which
could be sent to friends, together with at
home" cards? IN DOUBT.
The brides mother or nearest liv-
ing relative is the one to announce
the marriage. Any stationer will give
you the proper form Of engraved an
nouncement. Send them out as if the
marriage had occurred just now, but,
of course, date them properly. At
home cards may be included.
Insane Jealousy.
Dear Miss Fairfax: cousin of my fian-
Gee is soon to be engaged to a young man
who used to pay attention to my fiancee
before / met her. For some reason my
fiancee gave this young man up and he
promptly started to court her cousin. He
is very friendly whenever he sees my
fiancee I protested against this friendship.
but my fiancee does not like to give up
seeing her cousin land this young man who
comes to see his friend very often).
am sure my fiance loves me, but 1t
makes me unhappy to hear about them or
see them. and we both therefore suffer a
lot, and quarrel. 7. MORGAN
You are unreasonable, selfish and
jealous-a bad combination, don't you
think so too, now that l have put it
bluntly? Why shouldn't your fiancee
see her former friends? If you have
so little faith in the woman you love,
you will make a nightmare of your
marriage.

proper for these girls to go to the bunga

night; the bungalow to be occupied only
