A broad smile passed over Dan

recalled some instructions he had had
from Clark.
Yes, she is regular queen. The

Julia's cheeks grew pinker and her
eyes shone with excitement.

while the annual attendance is between

H. Paul Mehlin. when seen by repre-
sentative Of The Review this week, was
exceedingly enthusiastic over the deal.
"We feel" he said. that it is a great
compliment to the Mehlin product. The
fact that the order was placed after much
competition. and that the selection was
made by musicians, seems to US to be a
splendid testimonial to the tone. quality.

get any slips are paired off with the
fellows that don't get the right slip,
and, of course, any fellow that wants
to ask an outside girl has a chance.

We'll. then, of course, she might
be asked by another fellow. That's
permitted. But it gives the girl a
black eye. Do you see? Now, after
you had refused Dan-I knew you did,
and l told him not to say anything
about it because it would give you a
black eye. Do you see? l or some
other fellow might have asked you
and you might have accepted, but ev-

turned Dan Brown down and that
would make you out flirt and fus-
ser. 1 wouldn't want the men to

But l don't like to dance with Dan

for your old senior balls. anyway.
Don't touch me, Clark Butler''-Clark
had tried to lay soothing hand on
the girls shoulder when she said
that. I'm just as mad as girl
can get. There, and l am not trying

you don't understand, still. You
see, Dan Brown is perfectly albright
fellow. If he were not he wouldn't
be in our frat, and it is up to every
one of us to stand by every other one
of us. and If a girl snubs one of us it
isn't loyal for any other man in the
frat to encourage that girl to go on
snubbing members of the frat. That's
why l asked girl from home instead
of asking you. l thought maybe you
would go with me, we're such old
friends. But If you had gone with
Dan you and l could have seen lot

have had more dances with each other

But Julia was, as she said, angry
through and through and, conciliatory

Americanism and Other Isms.

The Republicans nomonated
Justice Hughes for the presidency
and he Immediately chose Amer
icanism" for his campaign slogan.
The Progressivesl r at the same
time nominated Colonel Roosevelt,
and the colonel is we'll known as a
staunch advocate OF Americanism,
although he has declined the
nomination. Later the Democrats
renominated President Wilson,
whose slogan is also American
ism" and whose views along this
line have been repeatedly voiced.
Thus it is seen that whoever
may be elected in November Amer
icanism is to be the watchword OF
the future.
1t is we'll, for if there is ore
thing about all else that is needed
in this country it is strong and
ever increasing spirit of Amer
icanism. .. .........

pirants are agitating Americanism

few ''isms" for our own individ-
ual and collective veal, and force
them through with the same en-
ergy and perseverance that is being
exercised in the national arena.
America needs Americanism, and
in like measure our own Commu-
nifty needs broader, spirit OF Com
munityism. We should annex an
ism" to our homes, and to our
business enterprises, and our
schools, and churches, and socie-
ties. and to every other feature of
our local existence.
We should make those "isms'
integral parts of our every day life,
and pursue them to successful
conclusion in every case.
We should raise the standard of
Communityism and rally every
citizen to the colors. -u
Give us Americanism for the
good of our country. but let US
fhave Communityism for the veal
of our women, and our children,
and our homes, and ourselves.

Grath Is Quoted.
ColonePs Private Secretary in
Chicago for Fray.

Chicago, June 1.-THE. campaign of
Frank Hitchcock for Justice Hughes
appeared today to have united the
anti-Hughes element in the standpat
Republican ranks with the Roosevelt
Republicans in a concerted attack on
Hughes with possible agreement on
Roosevelt in the offing.
Around candidates row at the no.
tells today there was every indication
that a combine against Hughes is I'M
der way.
The situation, however, was mud
died bit by the arrival today of Will
liam Barnes, Jr., of New York, foe of
the colonel.
Barnes, it is said, may hold the
key to the situation. The arrival here
of Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
was anxiously awaited. There was an
undercurrent of feeling that Penrose
even more than Barnes holds the sit
uation in his hands. If he jumps to
Roosevelt, as it has been rumored he
would do, the battle is over, politicians
say; if he fights against the colonel,
then it is a free-for all.
He Is In"
Roosevelt himself is ready to CO.
operate with anyone who is for him.
This was emphasized today by John
McGrath, the colonePs private secre-
tary, who reached Chicago today
after accompanying the colonel on his
trip to st. Louis.
Il am merely here to cooperate
with all persons and whatever party
supporting Roosevelt" McGrath said.

Grath was asked.
Most assurredly he isl he relied.
There was a pronounced feeling to-
day that nothing would heal the
breach between Roosevelt and the old
guard more quickly than Hitchcock s
efforts for Hughes.
