Silversand Lake, the 18th. Dearie Joan:
 Tom Benedict's praise of this place were underdone if anything. It's a dream. Big log -and-cement hotel on the very rim of the clearest, coolest, woodiest lake you ever saw. Tennis courts laid out back of the inn. Golf just over the hills. Trout in the lively stream that feeds the lake. Sylvan walks everywhere. Is it any wonder men come here2 Out of the tail of my eye I have counted nine already, not | including Tom.
 He introduced me this morning to a girl-a pretty creature, very slender and dark, with that smooth, shining black hair that makes you want to touch it. Nobody'd dare though She's temperamental, feyerish sort of person, ready witted, sharp to- ward women and frankly a 'vamp" toward men. She is trile uneasy about me If sine ony knew that l have exactly one hundred and eighty seven dollars between me and the Home for Indigent Femalesi
 Like the place?" she asked, with the tips of her lips when Tom had gone to join some men locking at a string of fish.
 Love it." answered briefly. not eager for a conversation with a type of girl I always dread.
 ..Old acquaintnce of MT. Benedict's I believe? Used to be dear friend of his mothers when he lived in what was the town?"
 "Bentsville" I smiled, wanting to claw her. But I knew the young Mrs. Benedict rather better than did Toms naturally"
 4Ah, yes, of course. Horiid woman, hear"
 His mother?"
 No, the wife"
 Isn't Nina Benedict here?" could not conceal my surprise and curiosity
 .'Herei We'll rawther not" smiled Miss Corley, flinging me the glance of the well-informed toward the ignor- ant.
 Why not? Where is she?"
 Miss Corley stifled polite yawn.
 Kansas City. I believe At least that's where they were living the last I heard of them. I'm not interested"
 "Them?" Something was beginning to dawn on me at last. Why, I don't underst-"
 "Oh, what does it matter? When you've lived in New York as long as have. Miss Varick, you will never ask aGs specific questions about any specific husbands and wives-they change about so.

 She rose slowly, yawned prettily again behind her hand and with a glance at her wristwatch remarked 'how late it was-she must go. I

Futile @Interpretations.

The administration senators yielding inch by inch gradually attuning themselves to the inevitable amendment of the of the League of Nations presumably under instructions from White House. The struggle is probably nearing its end which will witness the acceptance of reservations as part of the treaty So far know they are objection able nowhere in the world except at the White House and among the very few who are opposed to the ratification of the treaty at all.
 There appears to be no ground for a compromise The Pittman resolution proposed a compromise on it's face but it none It proposed an agreement upon the reservations interpretations and nothing ore As such the reservations have been as efectual asf the had been made by the crowd which assemblies at the corner grocery.
 Not included in the treaty, they could have force because of their adoption by the members of the than if they had been adopted by any other body of citizens They would not set out the understanding of the country; only that of ss Amer ican citizens, who happened to be members of the United States senate, but who would only present. ing their views private citizens. adopting the interpretations the senate would not be acting within it's treaty making powers.
 We have never shared the fear of senators that there is any thing menacing in the covenant We have believed that at the proper tine when need should arise congress would interpret it as it ought to be interpreted and the rest of the world would stand for the interpretation Nor that isolation of which the president hand is afraid if do not join the league, have been fearful of that isolation which the opponents the cove nant fear if should later make interpretations against the wishes of the league This country the chief supplies is important If for any there should be break between America and Europe the latter would be isolated
 But if the senators fear as they do that there is something threatening concealed in the covenant the threat be logically met only by amendment and by interpretation.

Bob Comes Home and Am Jealous
 of My Own Mother-inrLawl
 Bob. as I had seen him walking in Central Park with Katherine Miller, had not looked mentally deficient He had seemed dull rather than dazed, more bored than melancholy. To most persons he would appear normal.
 Probably he woull be perfectly quail flied to carry on his business. Only his wife and family knew that his emotions were locked up, and that the only key to a complete normal life for him was love.
 As I smiled up at Bob after he re- turned the binoculars. he was alert and almost gay and I wondered what I could possibly do to keep his mind at it's new tension.
 His interest in me thrilled me. Dis guised as I was, was I still the key to his finest emotions. ard the only way of his return to sanity?
 Tt must be true that I am the only woman in all the world for Bob,r I said to myself. ''Or else why does he gravitate to me so rlysteriously

 Perhaps it's bit fancifu but it's at least inter- esting to study the meaning of the ten given in the fifth chapter of Genesis-from Adams to Noah
 The names are those which stand out during what is known the ante-deluvian period in Bible history-that is, the period before the flood.
 It is said by some Bible students that the defi- nitions of these names outline the complete his- tory of mankind from the creation of his final redemption.
 No doubt those who have given us these defini- tons have stretched word here and there to make the span of life perfect. but here the names and the definitions:
 First, the 1, Adam; ?. sieth 3. Enos; {. Cainan; 5, Mahalaleel; 6, Jared; T. Enoch B. Me thusalah; g, Lamech 10. Noah.
 Now the meaning of the names. l. man in Gods image; 2 substituted 3, in misery; f. lamenting; B. the blessed God S. will down. T. teaching; B. his death will bring; 9, to the weary; 1o rest
 God hasn't put His most precious truths into the form of puzzles, which only the imaginative can understand" He has made the way of life so plain that the simplest of can understand the signs that noint the way.

MCCLURE FINDS
 IRELAND TO! BE
 IN GOOD SHAPE
AMERICAN PUBLISHER SAYS IRE- LAND IS A PARADISE-MOST PROSPEROUS LAW ABIDING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD-CON- OPTIONS SAID TO BE IDEAL.

NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 26.-(P)- Samuel S. Mcclure, the noted Ameri- can publisher and writer, who arrived here yesterday from a lengthy visit n Ireland, paints rosy picture of the conditions existing in that country at the present time. He contradicts absolutely statements recently made in this country to the effect that thous- ,nds of Irish people are suffering 'AIer the injustices of the English government.
 Mr. Mcclure declared that he found Ireland to be veritable paradise on earth. He says that it is the most prosperous. comfortable and law-abiding country in the world at the present time. The people, he asserts. are well-housed and condi- tions present a striking contrast to the Ireland of two decades, or even [, decade ago. The people of Ireland, he said. are forced to read outside newspapers in order to learn that there is any trouble in Ireland

BISHOP OFFERS
 TO ENTER RING

LONDON,-(P)-Bishop McLaglen. os C,aremont, South Africa. has sent to the All Sports Weekly, an offer to box any bishop five rounds for a fund for disabled soldiers and adds that, to aid in making the match, he will extend the offer to any editor of any paper of his own age. The bishop is 68 years old.
 He is father of Captain Victor N.Laglen, who is now training to box Joe Beckett, for the Lonsdale heavyweight championship bout. The bishops offer was prompted apparently by his indignation at something the newspaper had printed concerning his son.
 Why" he asks, "is it astonishing that man who chooses to fight in the ring for money should be the son of bishop. or man of considerable educational attachments. have had eight sons, all of whom served in the war, and l sLould be ashamed of any who could not use his hands.

 PARTY MEMBERS
 START PROGRAM

LONDON.-P}-The labor party intends to make educational reforms one of the problems to which it's legislators will direct attention dur ing the forthcoming session of parlla ment.
 Some provisions of the education act of 1918 have aroused opposition from labor representatives in the house of commons. Chief among these is authority given local officials to recognize works schools" organ ized by private firms and conducted on the firms premises which are ap- proved in the act as offering suitable and efficient part-time instruction '' These schools are designed for boys and girls between fourteen and six teen years of age.
 Labor party representatives object to the works schools" on the ground that they may mean that instruction there twill be biased by the commer- cial interests of the firm conducting them" A demand Is also made that instruction, as far as possible, shall be in the morning hours, it being contended that "it is useless to con- pei boys and girls to attend school when they are tired out by a days work"
 Labor party candidates are making their party's stand on this subject prominent among their campaign ar- ,guments.
