In his reply to the addresses the

French warm-heartedness.
"The greeting have been accorded

Quebec, assures me of its historic and
everlasting loyalty said Inc t.-e,

ure to tell my father the Klng that
this welcome was given me with no
smaller cordiality than that which
Majesty on various occasions"
After paying tribute to the Cana
dian Expeditionary Force, the royal
visitor continued:
ut is genuine pleasure for me,
gentlemen, to get acquainted for the
first time in your country with the de-
scendants of those valorous French
men, who. first of all. brought to these
shores the blessing of Chritianity and
clvlllzatlon and wo, vile still keeping
the customs, laws and erigion of their
torefathers, have become the loyal
subjects Of the British crown
Il think that in the last half century
the Confederation of the Canadian
Provinces has demonstrated forever
the sagacity of the policy by which are
united the two Canadian races We
owe the success of this wise policy to
your own tatesmen-La Fontaine.
Cartier and Laurier-no less than we
owe it to the statesmen of the other
provinces. I am firmly convinced that
an era of long and generous pros
perity is about to open for the great
nation born of this union forever
united to the other great nations of
the British Empire"

Just ask yourself what there is at
Coney that would bring the laughter
ringing from childish throats. Well,
they did all those things; and when
they thought there wasn't anything
more to do they were all taken over
to the Shelburne for dinner.
Writing about the day, Mary Allen,
house mother at the hospital, says:
Never had any single child such a
dinner before"
1t was the house mother TO whom
one little negro boy in the party came
in his happiness, saying he wanted
to kiss some one, and would she mind :?
Her motherly heart didn't mind and
he got his kiss.
Is Il Worth While?
Mr.. Rosen was assisted in providing
these happy days for the little hos
pital patients by his friends, NJ
Fishel and H. Katz
Is it worth while to make children
smile! There are many ways. but the
best way in the summer for such
youngsters as these and the hundreds
that dwell in the tenements from which
these came is to by some means get
them out into the fresh air and the
sunshine. Would you like 10 DO some
thing Of the sort, but find yourself too
busy? Tell your plan TO The Tribune
Fund and let it carry il out for you.
Taking trouble for children is the

ton yesterday. II will send some more

better plan you may suggest.

nOWN on Worth and Park streets,
opposite the Five Points, is the
city's smallest park It consists Of
bit Of cement and a solitary tree.
And 1t is called Paradise 1t took a
new policeman on the beat nearly half
an hour to find the park.
Years ago there were some trees on
the little square. Patches Of cement
have covered the spots. But through
neglect the number of these trees has
gradually diminished and now there
is only one tree and a dying bit of
another. This and the hard cement

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER I.--Major Anderson had
made a fortune in 1873 when other people
were losing fortunes, and the magnifcence
Of the AmbersonB began then. Major Am
berson laid out 2O0-acre development,
with roads and statuary, and In the centre
OF four-acre tract, on ANDERSON avenue,
built for himself the most magnificent
mansion the Midland City had ever seen.
CHAPTER II.-when the majors
daughter married young Wilber Minafer
the neighbers predicted that as Isabel
could never really love Wilbur all her
love would be bestowed upon the children.
There was only one child, however,
George ANDERSON Mlnafer, but his up
bringing and his youthful accomplish
ments as a mischief maker were quite In
keeping with the most pessimistic predic-
tons.
CHAPTER III-By the time George
went away to college he did not attempt
to conceal his belief that the Ambersons
were about the most important family in
the world. At a ball given in his honor
when he returned from college, George
monopolized Lucy Morgan, a stranger and
the prettiest girl present. and got on ia
mously with her until he learned that a
queer looking duck" at whom he had
been poking much fun, was the young
lady's father. He was Eugene Morgan, &
Normer resident of Bigburg, and he was
returning there to erect a factory and to
build horseless carriages of his own in
vention.

don't want to take chances like that
with you. But l thought he was the
Sharon girls uncle. He came with
them"
"Yes" she said; "Pm always late
to everything: wouldn't let them
wait for me. We're visiting the
Sharons."
"About time knew that! You for
get my being so fresh about your fa-
ther, will you? OF course he's a dis
tlnguished-loOking man, in a way"
Lucy was still serious. "In a
wayY" she repeated. "You mean,
not in your way, don't your"
George was perplexed. "HOw do
you mean: not in my way?"
"PeOpIe often say lin a way and
rather distinguished looking or
rather so-and-so, or rather anything,
to show that they're superior, don't
they. It's a kind of snob slang, ]
think. OF course people don't always
say rather or Sin a way to be su-
perior."
81 should say not use both Of
'em a great deal myself" said George.
"One thing l don't see, though:
What's the use of man being six
feet three? Men that size can't
handle themselves as well as a man
about FIVE feet eleven and half can."
George was straightforward soul,

CHAPTER ~.

The hero of the fete. with the dark
eyed little beauty upon his arm,
reached the top of the second flight of
stairs; and here, beyond spacious

tended a crystalline punch bowl, four
wide archways in rOse-vine lattice
framed gliding silhouettes of walters,

INT not eonspicuously, for there i *
nothing conspicuous about him. Bald
ish, dim, quiet, he was an unnotice-

there were dozen or more middle

distinguished from him in general as

In the big house at whom a stranger
would have glanced twice 1t did not
enter Georges mind to mention to
Miss Morgan that this was his father,
or to say anything whatever about
him.
Mr.. Minafer shook his sons hand
unobtrusively in passing,
''Tll take Uncle John home" he
said in a low voice. "Then l guess
I'll 60 on home myself-Tm not a
great hand at parties, you know.
Good night, George"
George murmured friendly enough
good night without pausing. Ordl-
harily he was not ashamed of the Min.
afers; he seldom thought about them
at all, for he belonged, as most Amer
ican children do, to the mothers fam
ny-but he was anxious not to linger
with Miss Morgan In the vicinity Of
old John, whom he felt to be dis
grace.
He pushed brusquely through the
fringe of calculating youths who were
gathered in the arches, watching for
chances to dance only with girls who
would soon be taken off their hands,
and led his stranger lady out upon the
floor. They caught the time instantly,
and were away in the waltz.
George danced well. and Miss Nor

tation Of soul, tender but indefinite,
and seemingly located In the upper
part Of his diaphragm.
The stopping Of the music came
upon him like the waking to an alarm
clock; for instantly six or seven Of
the calculating persons about the en-
tryways bore down upon Miss Morgan
to secure dances. George had to do
with one already established as a
belle, 1t seemed.
"Give me the next and the one after
that" he said hurrledly, recovering
some presence Of mind, just as the
nearest applicant reached them. "And
give me every third one the rest Of
the evening"
She laughed. "Are you asking2"
"What do you mean, 'askingT"
'It sounded as though you were just
telling me to give you all those
Dances"
"Well, want 'emT |" George insisted
"Are you going to give me-
"Good gracious" she laughed
EYes!"
The applicants flOcked round her,
urging contracts for what remained,
but they did not dislodge George from
her side, though he made it evident
that they succeeded in annoying him;
and presently he extricated her from
an accumulating siege-she must have
connived in the extricatlon-and bore
her off to sit beside him upon the
stairway that led to the musicians
gallery, where they were sufficiently
retired yet had view Of the room.
How'd all those ducks get to know
you so quickT' George inquired, with
little enthusiasm.
"Oh, I've been here a week."
"LoOks as II you'd been pretty
busy!" he said. "Most of those ducks,
1 don't know what my mother wanted
to invite 'em here for"
perhaps it was on account Of their
parents" Miss Morgan suggested
mildly. Maybe she didn't want to
offend their fathers and mothers"
"Oh, hardly! / don't think my
mother need worry much about offend
ing anybody in this old town."
ut must be wonderful" said Miss
Morgan. "It must be wonderful, Mr..
Amberson-Mr. Minafer, / mean"
"What must be wonderful?'
''To be so important as that!"
"That isn't important" George as
sured her. "Anybody that really is

as they like in their own town, l
should think T.
She looked at him critically from
under her shading lashes-but her
eyes grew gentler almost at once. In
truth, they became more appreciative
than critical. Georges imperiOus good
looks were altogether manly, yet ap-
preached actual beauty as closely as
a boys good looks should dare; and
dance music and showers have some
effect upon naneteen-year-old girls as
wCsl as upon eighteen-ycarOld boys. :

And their next number they did not
dance. but went back to the gallery
stairway, seeming to have reached
an understanding without any verbal
consultation that this suburb was
again the place for them.
SWELL" said George cOOlly, when
they were seated, "what did you say
your name WASP
Morgan"
"Funny name"
Everybody else's name always Is"

George explained. "Thats just one

"How old are your George asked.

"What do you mean: you don't

II mean only know what they
tell me. 1 believe them, of course,
but believing isn't really knowing"
"Look here!" said George. do you
always talk like thisr
Miss Lucy Morgan laughed fOrgiv-
ingly, put her young head on one side
like bird and responded cheerfully:
"Pm willing to learn wisdom. What
are you studying at schOOlT
"Collcge"
"At the university! Yes What are
you studying there?"
George laughed. 'Lot O. useless

"Then why don't you study some
useful guff?"
"What do you mean: 'Usefulr"
Something you'd use later, in your
business or professiOn?"
George waved his hand impatient
ly. Il don't expect to go into any
business or profession
"NoT
certainly notI" George was Cm-
phatic, being sincerely annoyed by a
suggestion which showed how utterly
she failed to comprehend the kind of
person he was.
"Why notY she asked mildly.
"Just look at 'eml" he said, almost
with bitterness, and he made a ges-
ture presumably intended to indicate
the business and professional men
now dancing within range of vision.
"That's fine career for man, isn't
it! Lawyers, bankers, politicians
What do they get out of life, I'd like

He was so earnest that she was
surprised and impressed She had a
vague, momentary vision Of Pitt, at
twenty-one, prime minister of Eng
land; and she spoke. involuntarily in
a lowered voice, with Difference:
''What do you want to bel" she
asked.
George answered promptly.
"A yachtsman," he said.

CHAPTER v.

Having thus, in word, revealed
his ambition for career above
courts, marts and polling booths
George breathed more deeply than
usual, and, turning his face from
the lovely companion whom he had
just made his confidant, gazed out at
the dancers with an expression in
which there was both sternness and a
contempt for the squalid lives of the
unyachted MidlanderS before him.
However, among them he marked his
mother, and his somber grandeur re-
laxed momentarily; a more genial
light came into his eyes.
Isabel was dancing with the queer
looking duck; and 1t was to be noted
that the lively gentleman's gait was
more sedate than it had been with
Miss Fanny Minafer, but not less dex-
ferrous and authoritative. He saw
George and the beautiful Lucy on the
stairway and nodded to them. George
waved his hand vaguely: he had
momentary return of that inexplicable
uneasiness and resentment which had
troubled him downstairs.
How lovely your mother isl" Lucy
said.
II think she is," he agreed gently.
"She's the gracefulest woman in that
ballroom. How wonderfully they dance
together"
"Who?"
"Your mother and-and the queer
looking duck" said Lucy. I'm going
to dance with him pretty SOON"
81 don't care-so long as you don't
give him one of the numbers that
belong to me-"
"I'n try to remember" she said,
and thoughtfully lifted to her face
the bouquet of violets and lilies, q
gesture which George noted without
approval.
'Look herel Who sent you those
flowers you keep maxim such fuss
over?"
HE did"
"Who's hep"
'The Queer-looking duck"
George feared no such rival; he
laughed loudly. II s'pose he's some
old widower!"l he said, the object
thus described seeming ignominious
enough to a person Of eighteen, with
out additional Characterization.
Lucy became serious at once. 'Yes,
he is a widower." she said. Il ought
to have told you before; he's my ia
ther,"
George stopped laughing abruptly.
"Well, that's a horse on me. If I'd
known he was your father Of course
wouldn't have made fun Of him. I'm
sorry"
Nobody could make fun Of him.
she said quietly.
"Why couldn't theyT"
ut wouldn't make him funny; 1t
would only make themselves silly"
Upon this George had a gleam Of
Intelligence. 'Well, I'm not going to
Okolona messenger., 1919-11-06

at least. "See herel" he said. "Are
you engaged to anybOdyY
"No."
Not wholly mollified, he shrugged
his shoulders. "YOu seem to know a
good many people! Do you live In
New York;"
"No. We don't live anywhere"
"What do you mean: you don't live
anywhere"
"We've lived ali over" she answered.
Papa used to live here in this town,
but that was before l was born"
"What do you keep moving around
so for? Is he promoter
mo. He's an inventor"
"What's he invented?"
"Just lately" said Lucy, "he's been
working on a new kind of horseless
carriage"
"Well, I'm sorry for him." George
said, in no unkindly spirit. ''Those
things are never going to amount to
anything. People aren't going to
spend their lives lying on their backs
in the road and letting grease drip in
their faces"
"Papad be so grateful" she re-
turned, "if he could have your ad-
vice."
Instantly Georges face became
flushed. 81 don't know that I've done
anything to be insulted for!" he said.
81 don't see that what / said was par
ticularly fresh."
"NO, indeedw
''Then what do you"
She laughed gayly. Il don'tl And
don't mind your being such a lofty
person at all. 1 think it's ever SO
interesting papa's great mani
"Is he?" George decided to be
good-natured. swell, let us hope so.
/ hope so, I'm sure"
Looking at him keenly, she saw that
the magnificent youth was incredibly
sincere in this bit of graciOusness.
She shook her head in gentle wonder.
"Tm just beginning to understand
she said.
Understand whatT"
'What it means to be a real Am
berson in this town. Papa told me
something about 1t before we came,
but 1 see he didn't say half enough !"
George superbly took this all for
tribute. 'Did your father say he
knew the family before he left hereT'
''Yes. 1 believe he was particularly
a friend Of your Uncle George; and
he didn't say so, but l imagine he
must have known your mother very
well, too. He wasn't an inventor
then; he was a young lawyer The
town was smaller in those days, and
believe he was quite well known
II dare say. I've no doubt the fam.
fly are all very glad to see him back,
especially IL they used to have him
at the house a good deal, as he told
you"
II don't think he meant to, boast OF
it." she said. HE spoke quite
calmly" she retorted. as her partner
for the next dance arrived.
She took wing away on the breeze
Of the waltz, and George. having
stared gloomlly after her for a few
moments, postponed filling an engage
ment and strolled round the fluctu
ating outskirts Of the dance to where
his uncle, George Anderson, stOoc
smiIingly watching, under one Of th,
