TWENTY-EIGHTH
CHAPTER.
Events Crowd Fast on
Lorimer Family and Promise
Much.

This is a most wonderful world, but
sometimes l feel that the Lorimer
family is getting more than its share
of excitement Do all war brides
have such perplexities thrust upon
them? Or am / only growing up and
finding out what life is like?
/ can't decide. but / am perfectly
sure that it's blessing / am an only
child. IL there were as many
"Ameses" as there are "Lorimers'
I would have to hire a secretary to
set down my confessions. Today l
have a silly confession TO make and
I'm glad I'm not going to dictate 1t
to anybody.
After / have seen Tony Curt, II
always takes me long time to get
back to my own prosaic orbit!
Today as he handed Baby Barbara
to her nurse, l murmured quick
goodbye" and fed to my room.
Then | surveyed myself in the mirror.
Ny hat was at its most becoming
angle, my hair was perfect.
But never would 1 have done
this silly thing after coming home
from a ride with Bob! And my nerves
were all fiuttery! oh. Me!
At luncheon. Daddy Lorimer told US
that DR.. Certeis had proposed a most
delightful trip.
1t seems that before Certeis came
home from that last course OF med
ical lectures in Berlin, in 1914. he had
rented from Its foreign owners-grand
personages with an Austro-1tahan
name-a perfectly enormous estate
3omewhere on the Atlantic.

Inufsuuy, septc"ber 20, Ibis.
Fair fortune smiles today. accord
ing to the reading OF the stars.
Saturn and Uranus rule strongly
for good.
Farmers have a direction that
promises gain and benefits. Labor
will be supplied to them and they
will profit largely from what is to
be sown with unselfsh and patrio-
tic hope"
Real estate men have the promise
of extraordinary activity. owing TO
some national movement or some
great land scheme of far-reaohing
Importance.
Vision is supposed to be clearer
during the kindly sway OF Uranus
than at other times and so today
should be most beneficial for those
who have great responsibilities.
Judgment should be good and cour-
age to act on it should be strong.
1T Is a most auspicious rule for
aviation, which will suddenly be-
come extraordinarily successful
wherever Americans are concerned.
Fame is predicted for many filers
who belong to the Army OF the
United States and it will come in
novel exploits as well as in the
usual expeditions.
Uranus is supposed to increase
the spiritual powers and to stimu-
late aspiration when the planet is
well aspected. During this sway
there should be an access of religi-
Gus zeal as well as an increase of
psychic knowledge.
Since extremes are to be ex-
pressed in all experiences and
events during the next few months,
human nature will reveal its
heights and depths. Crime will in
crease at a time when the most
heroic deeds in history are per-
formed.
Women will be affected by this
condition that is believed to encour-
age extremes. While they will at
tain the loftiest ideals OF service
they will also make mistakes that
should be guarded against constant.
ly. Caution should be the watch
word.
Spain has rather a sinister star in
the ascendant which may bring
about war complications.
Japan continues under a planet
airy government that promises much
to the nation. This Is its oppor-
tunity to make for itself a new
fame, the seers declare.
Persons whose birthdate II Is may
have a year of travel and change
that will bring success. They
should, however. be unusually
cautious about letters and writings
of every sort.
Children born on this day may be
steady, thoughtful and even radical
in views. These subjects of Libra
are often restless and unsettled.

DRAFT PAPERS
COMING BACK
First Questionnaires Sent
to Registrants Already
Reaching Boards.

With the distribution OF question
naires to local registrants still going
on. the pamphlets have begun TO flow
| boards already.
| Every morning on the first delivery
of mail 10 per cent of the registrants
receive their questionnaires. This is
| following the plan to distribute the
work of classification as evenly rs
possible and thus avoid a rush at the
end of the work.
While the boards have not been
swamped with the filled out question
naires, still a sufficient number have
been returned to indicate that The
people Of the District are working
hard to be the first TO have their men
classified. Although seven full days
are allowed the registrants 10 fill out
the pamphlet and return it, a number
% the boards received Questionnaires
back Monday.
With approximately 2.ooo men OF
Washington receiving the question
naires daily. the Legal Advisory
Board is constantly urging the regis
tTants to consult the lawyers who are
stationed throughout the city. Offices
have been opened in different parts
OF the city by the 0oafd, ana thefe Is
corps OF lawyers in attendance
there to aid the registrant in solving
| the knotty problems presented by the
question box
1t is pointed out that these law
yers are serving the men absolutely
without remuneration. They are
acting in the capacity OF friends
rather than in a professional way.
Already a large number Of the reg
istrants have presented their trou-
! bles to the Legal Advisory Board
and have received aid. The law
yers naturally advise against claim
| ing exemption on grounds which
are not likely to stand the severe
test to which they will be put.
Another method of obtaining ex-
emption was opened up yesterday
| with the announcement that any
interested third party could claim
! deferred classification for the reg
| istrant by filling out a duplicate OF
! the first page OF the QUESTIONABLE.
While experience proves that no
great number Of these claims will
| be made. still there are cases where
men are rather reluctant to claim
| exemption for themselves, fearing
that they will be called shckers.

large repertoire. In some OF these she
is assisted by the Adamless Chorus
OF beautiful girls.

There are forests and sand dunes

little island! DIR, Certeis thinks that
little fishing and hunting up there

quite fit for the very strenuous win

good.

Chrys will not be with us. She is
training TO speak for the next liberty
loan at movies and hotels and CLUBS
and street corners. Miss Lorimer is
certainly going to prove some attrac-
tion on soap box!
I think Mother Lorimer hastened
the decision today to soothe daddy's
frazzled nerves. file had had a dread
full morning. 1t appears that two in
fiuential citizens drove their autos TO
the country club on gasolineless Sun
day and the committee on member
ship decided to ask the men to resign.
The committee came to talk 1t over
with daddy. He said that the govern
ment's least request should bind
every patriot like a military order.
And he decided with the committee
but ] could see that he was awfully
worried. And no wonder. ! shouldn't
think he would care to offend two
men who are so strong in state poll
tics, on the very eve of his own CAM
paign for governor.
Daddy must be thoroughly patriotic
all through. I'm so grieved to think
worried about the source OF that
big check he gave me.
