By DOROTHY DIX.

Once upon a time there was q
Homely Girl who married man who
looked like the understudy OF the
Apollo Belvederes in the Advertise
ments Of Gents Clothing.
This caused her friends great APP
prchension. Without doubt" they
said to each other, Mamie is Noble
Creature and Model OF all the Viz
tues, and she will do her Sacred Duty
as a. Wife.
I'VE have not observed, however,
that a Good Wife gets her Due Re-
ward of Appreciation until she gets
it on her Tombstone, and so we fear
that this Marriage is headed for the
Scrap Heap. 1t is Hard Enough to
Retain a Husbands Affections when
he is Human Shrimp that no other
Woman Wants, and when the wife is
a Good LOCKER herself, so we tremble
to think what will Happen when a
Chrome like Dear Mamie ties up
with Living Picture"
Thereupon, Mamie's Friends
formed themselves into a Death
Watch over her Marriage, but instead
of hearing that the Divorce Proceed
ings had begun they Observed that
it was a case of They Married and
Lived Happily Ever After,
I'VE do not understand this" said
the Friends, and going to the Wife
they thus addressed her.
Without wishing to Knock your
Face, which, we are aware. is not
your Own Selection and does not
represent your Taste, but was wished
on you by Nature, you must perceive
that you are not in the Class with the
Lillian Russefls whom your Husband
meets in Society, yet we never see
you pulling any OF that Jealousy
Stuff. Furthermore, we observe that
your husband passes up all of the
Prize Winners in the Beauty Show
for You, and actually seems to Enjoy
being with you, Prythee, tell us why
This is Thus"
The Secret Of my Hold on my
Husband is very Simple" replied the
Homely Wife; 81 have merely Con-
WINGED him that am the Only Wom-
an who Thoroughly Appreciates Him.

Blonde making Eyes at him at Din

that she never observed You enough

The Maiden that you Danced with

but she is Sadly Lacking in Intclli-

Change in Players. Club Plans.
A change has been made in the
play which will be given by the mem
bcrs of the former Players club for
the benefit OF the American Ambu-
lance hospital in France. Instead of
Oscar Wilde's play, Lady Winder-
mere's Fan" the committee has de-
cided to present "The Amazons," by
Pinero.
Because OF this change the re-
hcarsals which have been. held will
count for nothing, but the cast for
The Amazons" has almost been
flied. The women characters will be
Miss Anna Bourke OF Washington,
D, C.; Mrs. Miriam Patnrson-Boyce.
Miss Arabella Kimbail, Miss Joy Hig-
gins. and Mrs. Henry Dooriy, who is
acting as chairman OF arrangements.
Two men have not yet been selected
I'd fill parts. Those already chosen
are Mr.. George Mcintyre, Mr.. Paul
Cooley. Mr.. Ray Low. Mr.. Ross
Towle and Mr.. Sidney Powell
Rchcarsals for the play now de-
cided upon are being held this week
aud it is hoped that Miss Lillian Fitch
will come from Chicago Sunday TO
begin the work OF polishing the pro-
duction for presentation The play
crs hope to be able to stage the drama
about February 20 at the Brandeis,
but negotiations for date are still
being made with the theater manage
ment.
Before Lent. surely, the perform
ance will be given. Since Ash We'd
ncsday, which marks the beginning
OF Lent, falls on February q we are
certain to have the pleasure Of wit
Messing this amateur presentation of
The Amazons" in the near future.

department again they met with praC-
tically the same response as in the
case of all of the other negotiations.
Underlying the conservative attitude
of the American bankers was the ap-
parent fear that the action of the Ad-
ministration previously in refusing to
he party to guaranteeing the par
ticipation of the American group in
the Six Power loan would continue to
be applied 20 any loan To China. even
when arranged at the instance of the
State Department.
Negotiations Resumed.
Yhe American bankers believed that
they should have some sort OF state
ment from their Government showing
that their participation in the loan was
with the consent of the Government.
/ They felt also that the Chinese Gov
ernment should furnish security for
the loan, preferably through a conces-
sion to guarantee revenue that would
! he applied 20 liquidate the loan. The
United States Government, however,
was unwilling 10 make any such state
ment or to arrange for any such con-
Cession.
Less than six months ago the Chi
nese Government again asked the
State Department for aid in obtaining
money in this country, and at that
time IL was successful in obtaining
$5,000,000 from a group of Chicago
bankers of which the Continental and
Commercial Bank of Chicago was at
the head This institution later re-
placed the firm of Lee, Higginson 4
Co. as agents of the Chinese Govern
ment in this country as the result of
the successful fiotation of the loan.
When diplomatic relations with Ger
many were severed Henry =. Dawson,
Jacob II. ~Schiff and other representa-
tives of the American banking syndi-
cate OF the Six Power group again
called at the State Department in re-
gard to n loan TO China. Germany had
been eliminated from the group by the
severance of all commercial and trade
relations. Probably Germany had had
more 20 do than any other nation with
the withdrawal of the American Gov
ernment from the negotiations, but
the elimination of Germany did not
move the Administration to renew the
negotiations.
4 new and more powerful factor had
developed which was again to delay
the financing of China. America was
on the verge of war with Germany
and the bankers and the Administra-
tion did not consider il wise to enter
into new obligations in a financial
way, Americas resources would he
needed in few months to finance a
war of her own, and 1t was practi-
cally certain that the other Powers
could not add to the burdens they
were already carrying as the result of
the war with Germany
But now a new element has again
appeared in the Far Eastern field A
private corporation which has made
great inroRds into the trade of foreign
nations in China and throughout the
world has come forward, and II an
pears likely 1t will do the work that
the six Power group was formed to do.
This is the American International
Corporation. 1t has taken a contract
to construct several thousand miles Of
railroad in China, work on which has
already been started The financing
of this work wilT~be done by private
bahkers and their money will be Sc
, cured by the property Of the railroad
itself.

There might be paragraph about
another man who came in at one OF
the meetings and asked to be allowed
to contribute. Said he:
I'm past forty-five; the Government
won't accept me. I've been giving to-
ward the furds for the starving Bel
gians and the starving Poles and
every other nation. Now I'd like to
do something for my own country,
This appears like going proposition

and he tossed check for 500, ,009 on
the table.
But you'll never know the full story
OF how that fund was raised. The list
Of contributors probably never will he
made public. 1t is patriotic fund
pure and simple.
Example From Egypt.
The. men most deeply interested in
the patriotic fund called to their con-
ference the leaders Of the State
Grange. They laid the project before
them and asked for light. Wall Street
frankly did not know how to go about
this unusual business They had the
money, but there was no precedent
on which 10 base operations.
To one Of the meetings Of the trus-
tees. as they were puzzling over the
question. there came one day a man
named Dalgleish, who introduced him
self as the agent Of the English cor
poration which for some years con-
Quoted a similar loan in Egypt. His ex-
perieRce was illuminating. He told OF
a $45,000,000 loan, underwritten by
private corporation, whose bonds were
bought by the Bank Of England for the
precise purpose of affording cheap
money in small lioans for Egyptian
farmers.
The production OF wheat and cotton
was languishing. The Government
found that extortionate rates were be-
ing charged by Egyptian money lend
