Yes, that's my young cousin. Ethel,' said the hostess, as her caller picked up the framed photograph of a remarkably pretty girl. Do you wonder that I felt it was a sad pity for her to blush unseen up in that dull little, Wisconsin town where she has lived all her life? I told Hugh that we ought to have her come to stay with us and meet some real people.
 "'All women over the age of 40 are nratchmakers,' he responded with a laugh, but ask her to visit us by all means. A pretty girl like that ought to have whirl in town
 ''Ethel accepted our invation promptly and we were delighted with her. Hugh even admitted after the first evening that it would be a shame for her to miss chance to make a one of the most promising young men in his office come up to dinner.
 "In the morning I called up this George Harris, saying that we wished him to meet our charming young cous- in.
 You're awfully kind he said in an embarrassed way. but well, you see Mrs. Hadsall, IT really don't do any thing in the society line. Of course it would be pleasure to meet any rel ative of yours and MT. Hadsall, but IT.

 When Hugh came home that night he remarked with a grin that he fear ed I should have to look beyond George Harris for parti for Ethel.
 "It was you, Hugh. I replied, in dignantly, that wished young Harris to dine with us.'
 Yes, believe that I did say some thing about it last night, but you see then, my dear, I didn't know he was married
 'Married!" I echoed.
 "'Yes, but it wasn't announced un- til today after you invited him to din- ner. I happened to be near when he was talking to you, and when he look ed up from the phone and saw me he turned as red as @ sunset. He said he feared I must think him most un- gracious, but that it wouldn't be ex- actly right for him to call on a young dy-that-that-well the fact was he had a wife.

the first consequence of the great war

the first consequence Ot the great war is already evident, that 1t is a revul- sion against killing by Wholesale--as if a patient God had tired of mans hyprocisy and through the horrors of this mighty struggle of rival armies was teaching the holiness of a lasting peace. Whatever, his philosophy, civ- iIized man already beholds his mon strous twentieth century crime with a broken and 8 contrite heart. And consequently, some predict. he is close to a great and deep respect for religion, perhaps to a united church which shall be a church of universal peace.-Bridgeport Standard.
 If the preparedness advocates could only get the same fervor and en- thuSiasm in the manhood of the coun- try that is found at baseball game like that in Boston Monday, what strides would be made. There is no country in the world that would dare to tempt such intense patriotism backed as it would be by the most talented Stra tegiSts in the world. Just now, however, most of that part of the national equipment is pretty rusty and. hardly any nation is worrying much about it or very fearful of it, or Germany and Mexico would not be taking such chances. That is a con- sideratfon which will tell at the polls next November and which even the most short-sighted eight-hour Wilson, ians will ponder over before making their final deciSion.-Waterbury Re- publican.

is that she is going out within few

The text OF the assurances given
the state department follows:
There is no idea OF blacklisting a
neutral Arm merely because II con-
tinues to do business with firm that
Is biacklisted, but II neutral Arm
Ihabitually and Systematically acted
as a cover for a blacklisted firm and
so caused indirect trading between
British firms and blacklisted firms,
the case would be different.
Regarding payment to blacklisted
Arms. our action does not affect pay
ment to neutral and we habitually
grant licenses to British firms TO pay
current debts to blacklisted firms. un-
less II Is clear beyond a doubt that
such payment would be passed on to
create a credit for enemies in enemy
territory"
The embassy has definite knowl-
edge that large sums Of money or the
equivalent in credit has been obtain
ed for the German government by
blacklisted firms. II was said today.
No statement as to the alleged
amount was obtainable. as 1t was said
such action would result in the dis
closure OF the secrets of neutrals and
