today said:
An academic discussion of peace
possibilities was still the principal
pastime in Wall street today, but the
pope's peace proposals as such
were in no sense a market factor
Traders ignored them as they did
yesterday. The opening was irregu-
lar, but narrow. Some strength de-
veloped in certain issues and groups
in the early forenoon with some dis
play of animation, but by midday the
trend was downward and trading had
all but come to a standstill. The
steel and copper stocks were soft.
Sugar shares were weak. The ship
ping shares were firm at intervals,
but the vigorous advances Of yester-
day were not repeated.
Prices turned distinctly weak In
the later session, representing liqui.
dation by timid holders, although
trading continued dull to a degree.
Losses ranged from l to 3 points,
but there was a recovery of a point
or so in the more extreme cases be
fore the closing. Bonds were quiet
and steady.

When Gregory Van Houten repaired
to the country for rest from society
functions and city life he had no idea
of coming back to town a married
man. But he fell IN love with Jean
Haskins. the daughter Of a farmer,
and despite the sensible protests OF
the old folks they married. Back to
town they came and Gregory threw
his country-girl wife into the whirl Of
society, all unprepared. The way she
shattered conventions turned the
tickle Van Houten against her, and his
neglect left an opening for the villain
in the case to operate and with such
success that Gregory obtained a df-
vorce. The wife realized the injus-
tice that had been her lot and decided
upon revenge. It took years to do it,
but she finally charmed Van Houten
back to her side, intoxicated him with
her studied charms and graces and
then reaped an abundant veng eance.
