Margaret, a sensitive, delicate girl,
daughter of wealthy parents, is be-
trothed to Godfrey Morton, a rising
yonng politician The two are der

very great until cloud blows up and
threatens to overshadow everything
This is the terrific dissipation of her
mother who INDUCES in gambling of
all sorts snd has several times threat
ened her own and her daughter for
tunes in wild. reckless fits of gamb-
ling, either at roulette or bridge The
st lrm reaches a head when it comes to
light that she has been driven to
cheating at one of the foreign casinos
she visited every year and had not
only committed the crime, but been
found cut There is one person who
knows her secret and that is an Ameri-
can business man, Richard Harding
/ He is a gcasping, hardhesded man who
will stop at nothing TO further his own
ends, and seeing Margaret, realizes
the advantage of marrying the daugh-
ter of an old established family. The
mother, desperate with the fear of
scandal, becomes a partner to his
scheme and does everything in her
power until the girl is obliged to sur
render to their stronger wills and the
loveless marriage takes place. After
five Godfrey Morton has been
abroad returns to the United States to
find Margaret and her husband SEEM
ingly happy together in their luxuri-
ons home with their one child, Jan
adorable boy of about four years old.
Their happiness, however, is only as
sumed. for there had been many quar-
rels and hesrt-bresking scenes for
Margaret wherein she found herself
obliged to plead for leniency towards
the child whom the husband treats
cruelty. One day sn especially brutal

And Prominent Among the Things It
Lacks is That "Neighborliness"
That Meant So Much in
the 6ygone Years.

then, is my neighbour" the man Gin

only a nodding acquaintance at best
with the majority Of the inmates.
independence is fostered by the
conditions of living in the country. Or
dinarily we do not need the help Of
the next house, near or far. But let
fire come, or n destructive storm. or
a predatory visitor, or serious ILL
ness, and the neighbor may be as well
come as angels.
City life is often n battle oe the
strong, because there are crowds and
there are many mouths To feed and
many shutting feet to be shod. If we
let ourselves think Of It, the vast null
titude of Identities striving TO estab-
liSh themselves is almost terrifying.
Where did so many people come fromP
Where are they going? How are they
to find lodging for the night? Each
of the moving swarm is the center of
a circle of friends. The humhcst, UNI
less deeply unfortunate, has ties that

way will it's rugged, innocent power In

Your shreEdest, hardest captain of
business closes his eyes ut his desk

skin "cloute" with steel. Very novel
was the manner In which the coat was
cut up at either side to allow the belt
to pass through.
In this model, as in many other re-
cent creations, the ceinture does not
show at all at the back, where the
coat molds the figure. The skirt was
rather short and tight, but there was
nothing exaggerated in the outline. A
very attractive notion connected with
this suit was the picturesque stock tie
OF black and white foulard.
These stock ties are immensely pop
ular this winter and they are made of
many different materials; silk, foulard,
wool, spotted crepe, etc. They give
an effective finishing touch to simple
blouse, and when made of knitted wool
they keep the throat quite warm with
out the addition of a fur tie. The coat
shown in the sketch could be fastened
right up to the neck if desired.

Hustling Times at City Office

NEW LINGERIE FAD is GREEN
Something More Novel Found Abso-

Distinctive as Well as Different.

The dress faddist will hail the news
that there is a new color in lingerie.
White is so painfully old-fashioned
that the up-tO-date girl has eschewed
1t altogether; pink has become COM
mOnplace and so 1t is absolutely nee
essary to turn to something more novel
If one would be distinctive and differ
ent."
The new color is Nile green. In
fact, it has been fashionably launched
by q Washington society girl recently
married at the capital. 1t is author.
itatively stated that beneath her we'd
ding gown was worn a princess slip of
pea green geOrgette crepe trimmed
with diminutive bows of flesh-cOlored
satin. Over this there was q tunic of
the green georgette accompanied by
a bodice also of the crepe and trimmed
with delicate pink ribbon.
To be sure, this novel trousseau color
was really regulated by the unusual
wedding gown. 1t was made by a ia
nous dressmaker of New York, Paris
and London, and by way of unique
treatment had train of two-tone satin
which reflected wavering pale green
tints. The gown itself was of white
velvet.
If one likes the idea it is well to
know that at certain of the high-class
speciality stores there are to be had
articles of lingerie in the correct
green nuance.

had just arrived at Camp Taylor.
Probably not one Of them had ever
been out Of the hills before this trip
to the camp. One young fellow was
standing on a slight elevation where
an excellent view of the camp could
be obtained. His mouth and eyes were
wide open and his whole expression
was one of establishment and wonder.
A sergeant approached and said,
well, how's it look?''

DISTRICT NURSE
FINDS "REPEArERS"
Among School Children-In Same
Class Several Years An Effort
To Better Conditions.

The District Nurse, Miss Souther-
land, who for the past week has been
making daily visits to the city public
school with the object of teaching the
children how to keep from getting
sick has found number of repeat
ers' These are pupils who remain in
one grade for several years, instead
of passin~ each examination comes
around, as the majority of children
are doing.
There is always some reason for
children remaining in one and the
same grade for a number of years,
and the District Nurse has arranged
with DR.. c. B. Thompson, Executive
Secretary of the Maryland State
Hygiene Society, to come to Annapo-
lis and make a careful examination of
these children. One of the children
was found to have repeated" the
same class three years; others, two.
Some children, the District Nurse
says, are afflicted with defective
vision. She found one boy almost en-
tirely sightiess in one eye Placing
her hand over one eye it was impos-
sible for the child to see anything in
the book but blur. Another child
was very deaf. There was reason
that this child could not progress, not
being able to hear the teacher.
Many cases of adenoids were
found Some of these, the Nurse said,
were so developed they pressed on the
ear drums and caused deafness.
There were 40 cases of adenoids
found in the primary department
alone.
In all, some 125 children were
gone over" during the week. Four
or five children were sent home with
mumps as the result of the examina-
ton.
1t has been arranged that the de-
fective children will be examined
through the kind offer of Surgeon
Raymond Spear by two Junior Naval
Surgeons, Dr. Frank and DR.. White
The idea, made plain by the District
Nurse, is that an ounce of prevention
is better than pound of cure, and
it is better to keep from getting sick
than to get sick and then try to get

The work of the District Nurse will
continue for short time until con-
ditions have been bettered.
