REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

you'll only give me my old table by the window l shall be perfectly happy"
 My old table by the window was one which commanded a view of the windmill. l waited with a little catch of my breath, due to a vague sense of something unknown, men, acing in the air, for the woman's re- ply. It came promptly enough.
 why. surely, Mme. Graham. Everything shall be as you wish. Shall I show you my own lavatory now?"
 I didn't stop to analyze the i'm pulse which made me reluctant. to follow her to her own apartment. I only answered promptly and care lessly '' "Oh, it isn't worth the bother, Mme. Hofer. I'll just freshen up in the lit tie lavatory off the hall which I re- member perfectly"
 AS I spoke, I turned and walked toward the lavatory of which I spoke. I knew that if Mme. Hofer didn't wish to show her hand openly she wouldn't try to persist in her invita- ton to use her own lavatory instead of the public one provided for the feminine guests.
 D With l5htninglike quickness she changed her point of attack. I had taken but half-dozen steps, Pete pattering at my heels, when she called out shrily:
 Mime. Graham, ono minute, please"
 l turned as she came hurriedly up to me.
 "A thousand pardons, but I must tell you we cannot allow your dog in side. He can stay on the veranda, can he not?"
 I looked at her fixedly.
 Isn't this a new regula tion?" I asked slowly. 'I distinctly remember seeing dogs in hero at different times last year And my dog is very quiet. He will disturb no one.' Last year, yes" she said. But we had so many complaints about them that we had to make a rigid rule against them. I am so sorry, but you will see how it is, l am sure" Pctc Won't Desert.
 She didn't look in the least sorry, but she was infleXible. l yielded in stantly
 It QOeSIl matter III the least, said, although the vague feeling of menace again swept over me. Come, Pete!"
 I walked to the veranda and spoke in a low tone to the dog.
 Lie down here, Pete, and remem- ber don't move till I come"
 I had always understood that Pete obeyed commands implicitly. But for { 1l,,St -s-,l, to stay on the veranda. I made three fruitless attempts to re-enter the house without his following me. Then, trif1e impatient, I scolded him severely, even struck him a light blow with 8 folded newspaper which l picked up from one of the veranda chairs. At last he lay still, only his eyes protesting as I went back Into 1 the dining room without him. I washed my hands and arranged my hair quickly in the little lavatory off the hall, and then proceeded to my table at the window at which had already been placed silver, the crusty Vienna rolls which are my especial favorite, and the hors d'oeuvres for which the inn is justly famed among it's patrons.

This stunning wing trimmed hat has charm which is irresistible. The narrow rolled brim is in two-toned effect The arrangement of the wings is rather daring, but very smart, and the flowing veil, which is a popular fashion this spring, softens the effect of the whole.

The main line of the Highland Park
Water company is now completed.
Water is flowing thru the main clear
to the Shawnee Golf club which is
the end of the line. AS the line has
moved along in successive steps to-
ward completion sections between
valves have been opened up one at a
time as the main moved away from
the city. According to J. r. Burrow,
jr., secretary of the Highland Park
Water company. everything is in
shape for residents of Highland Park
to commence tapping the lines and
building smaller pipe lines into their
homes.

company, owning $500 worth of
stock, will continue to operate his line,
tho, Of course, he will buy his water
from the company. The Shawnee Golf
club also owns $500 worth of stock.
A large number of people have al
ready constructed the lines to their
homes. As the line progressed by
their homes practically as soon as the
water was flowing far enough in the
line for it to be reached. the people
OF Highland Park have commenced the
construction of the smaller lines into
their own homes. 1t Is expected that
with the completion of the line there
will be an increase in Individual oper-
adons toward the installation of pri-
vate lines
With the liberty loan campaign on
and the many frequent calls for money
from the various war activities and
the rising costs in living expenses, Bur-
row expressed some doubt as to wheth-
err the small amount of stock remain
he says that he has no doubt but
that 1t will all be sold in a short time.
The securing of a stable water sup
ply, which has been a source of con-
siderable anxiety to property owners
In Highland Park, will doubtless
bring a corresponding rise in land
values in the park and will tend to
cause desire for other improvements
which will make Highland Park very
valuable addition to the city when the
time arrives for making it a part of

Each individual will pay for the
construction of the line to his own

living on a line from the large main
and wished to install q line to their
homes which covered three blocks
away from the large main, all three
would pay for the construction of the
main for the first block. the two re-
naming men would pay for the con-
struction of the next block, and. the
last man would foot the bill for the
last block. Each man pays. in this
way, for all that benefits him..

was the order of the Kansas blue sky
board and the promoters were given
just two weeks to fulfil the order of
the board.
A Lawrence man obtained a lease
on some oil and gas lands, said to be
| worth $4,000. This was capitalized
at $4,000, but in the division into

OF the units with the agreement that

worth of stock in the company would
be given for each 81 worth of units.
All of the sunits were sold and the
corporation was formed and the stock

there was no development work being
done and started an investigation
which resulted in their discovering
that the corporation had no money to
do any oil or gas development work.
Further investigation showed that the

Of the republican national committee, made pub
lie here tonight statement in which he replied
IN behalf of his party to President Wilson's ap-
peal to the nation to return democratic con-
gress. In his statement Mr. Hays said:
"Presdent Wilson has questioned the motives
and fidelity of your representatives in congress.
He has thereby impugned their loyalty and de

to them, to the honor of your great party and to

squarely, not only republicans, but as Ameri-

"NIr. Wilson accords the republicans no credit
whatever for having supported the war meas

they have done SO with greater unanmlty than
the members Of his party. Despite that fact
he accuses them of having tried to usurp his prop
