In drdgF to denver his guests at the
doors of Blitherwood, SO to speak, the
incomprehensible Mr.. Blithers had
temporary spur Of track laid from
the station two miles away, employ
ing no fewer than thousand men TO
do the work in forty-eight hours.
Work on terminal extension in New
York was delayed for a week or more
In order that he might borrow the
rails, ties and work trains.
Two hundred and fifty precious and
skillfully selected guests ate two nun
bred and 1fty gargantuan dinners
and twice as many suppers; drank
barrels of the rarest Of wines; smoked
countless two dollar perfectos ana
stuffed their pockets with enough to
last them for days to come.
A great many mothers inspected
Prince Robin with interest and con-
fessed to a really genuine enthusi-
asm. The ruler of Graustark (four-
Afths of the guests asked where In

information that he had neglected to

Exercising q potentate's preroga-
tive, Prince Robin left the scene OF
festivity somewhat earlier than was
exnected. As a matter of fact, he de-
narted shortly after l. Moreover,
being a prince, it did not occur to
him to offer any excuse for leaving 80
early, but gracefully thanked MS
host and hostess and took himself on
without the customary assertion that
he had had a splendid time. Strange
to say. he did not offer a single COM
ment on the sumptuousness OF the
affair that had been given In his
honor. Mr.. Blithers couldn't get over
that.
Except for one heartrending incl
dent. the Blitherwood ball was the
most satisfying event in the lives OF
Mr.. and Mrs. William W. Blithers.
That incident, however, happened to
be the hasty and well managed flight

ENJOYING one Of the big summer
shows, accompanied by young SEQ
Vile and her one time governess,
middle aged gentlewoman who had
seen even better days than those
spent in the employ Of William W.
plthers. The resolute young lady
had done precisely what she said she
would do, and for the first time In MS
life Mr.. Blithers realized that his
daughter was a creation and not
mere condition. He wilted like
famished water lily and went about
the place in a state of bewilderment

Rank Foolishness

You occasionally see 1t stated that
colds do not result from cold wealth
err. That is rank foolishness Were
1t true colds would be as. prevalent
in midsummer as in midwinter. The
microbe that causes colds flourishes
in damp. cold weather. To get rid
of a cold take Chamberlain s Cough

have used 1t for many years as oc--

value. Obtainable everywhere.

CADY PUTS HARRIS
OUT OF RUNNING
Brattleboro Tennis Expert Goes Down
in Connecticut Valley Tourna-
ment Before Amherst Man.

Fred II. Harris of Brattlehoro was
put out of the Connecticut Valley ten
mis- tournament at Springfield yester-
day i'll the second round by !. FEM
more Cadv, former Amherst tennis
crack. Harris was regarded as one
who would get through to the semi
finals at least. The score of the match
was IT, II. -.
Cadv, after defeating II. J. Athcr-
ton in the first round, 6, G-1,
seemed somewhat off form in the first
set Of the match with Harris, and his
many drives into the net and outside
were in a large way responsible for
Harris taking the first round, G-3 In
this set there were seven deuce games
and only one Of them went to the for
mcr Amherst man. In the second set
Cadv played more steadily. Harris re
pcatcdly drove the ball outside and in
to the net, evidently trying to drive
Cadv for a point. Harris plainly weak
oncd in the last set and after holding
Cadv to 4-all, lost the next three and
the match. Both men displayed good
generalship and were quick to seize an
opportunity for placements. Each
however, showed a tendency toward
hard driving and often lost points by
| this style of play. The match was very
! interesting and held the gallery tense
until the last point was scored.
