Storyette of the Day.

Two women were discussing a

still she isn't popular commented
the single one. Il wonder why?"
An old lady who had been listen
ing, broke into the conversation.
She's too handedy," she told them
Both Of the two young zones
looked their wonder.
YES" explained the old lady, too
handedy l mean. Doesn't the Bible
say not to let your left hand know
what your right hand does? But
she doesn't do that If she lends
her neighbor on one side cup Of
coffee she has to tell the one on the
other side all about it. When she
gives any one anything she tells
about it. And you both know that
no one likes to have their weak
nesses advertised, even by the one
who helps them most. She keeps
one hand too we'll informed of the
other hands doings. That's why |
say she's too handedy.'- Indianap-

The polished Partisan, long practiced in the
art of handing out pretty compliments, has
nothing on our president, who can give them
word for word in the polite competition. Pretty

each side will get down to brass tacks on the
peace negotiations. OF course, we all want the
same thing, but how to go about to get it will
engender some discussion.

Right in the Spotlight.

Prominent among the British rep
resentatives at the peace table will
be Andrew Bonar Law, who is chan
cellor OF the exchequer and lead
er of the unionists in the house OF
commons. Mr.. Law is regarded as
one OF Great Britain's most astute
statesmen. He is a Canadian Scotch
man and behind quiet exterior con-
ceals much political acumen and en-
ergy. He entered parliament in
1900 from one OF the divisions of
Glasgow and from 1902 to 1906 he
was parliamentary secretary to the
board OF trade in the Baliour ad-
ministration. He is an authority on
finance and economic questions and
will probably be Lloyd Georges
right hand man in protecting Brit
ish interests from this point OF view.
