Il suppose I'd better postpone my
wedding till we get Bayard off our
hands,"
"That's a fine idear' her father ex-
claimed. 1t was always joy to him
to defer an expense. Mrs. Kip flung
him glare and Daphne rolled her
eyes in distress, but he redeemed him
self with an Unexpectedly graceful
turn. at lets us keep Daphne with
us little longer"
Daphne wrote this new decision to
Clay. He sent back letter that fairly
howled with protest.
When Daphne told her parents of
Clay's anguish they made light of it.
1t was long, long while since they
had been young. They had learned
that marriages contain surprises that
may sometimes be postponed without
misfortune.
Bayard did not write again for sew
eral days. This time he wrote to
Daphne:
received and beautiful contents noted.
can hardly believe that my little sis is an
nouncing intention to join the procession
and get married, too. You're more SEN
sible than 1 used to think This Is sub
ject to revision when I know who the
lucky man is. Who is he? Some Cleve-
land Appolo Cor however you spell IT,,
suppose.
Before could write you bombshell ex-
ploded in the office. Heads of firm decided
that since we can't sell any goods in Amer
lea, might try England. They want me to
go over at once and see what can be done
about establishing a selling agency in
dear old Lunnon, doncher know. And SO
now intend to combine business trip, va
cation, and honeymoon in same voyage
So we get married Thursday and sail
Saturday. Just time to get settled in our
dove-cote before leaving.
Was worrying over not being able to ac-
cept your kind offer to pay me a visit
Then the blessed wifelet darlingly sug-
gested that her sweet sister-in-law-to-be
should come to New York and make our
apartment her home while she shops.
We won't get back from honeymoon
hike for six weeks at least. You and
mother just settle down there until you
have finished shopping. Will leave key
and instructions with superintendent.
The letter ended with the usual
oceans of love and kisses and the
usual haste. It set the family to pom
dering. Old Wesley was the first to
speak and his train of thought startled
the women:
$50 he's going to get married tomor-
row. That's awful sudden! Saves us
buying wedding present, though ~
When he had recovered from the i'm
pact of his wife's look he saved him
self again with a quick, pleading sug-
gestion: "What was thinking was
1t leaves more money for Daphne's
,trousseau."
The poor wretch had grown used to
seeing unexpected gifts of fortune
float into view like soap bubbles, drift
close in iridescent loneliness, and then
wink out, leaving hardly damp spot.
AS soon as he had bravely added
what he had saved from his sons we'd
ding to what he had already voted
to his daughters trousseau he was
doomed to learn that Daphne could
not start East to buy clothes to get
married in until she had bought some
clothes to start East in. And, besides
that, she could not go East alone, and
her mother could not go with her un-

 Bishop Huntington has asked for nearly $40O,O00 through the Nation Wide Campaign for the upbuiIding of all Episcopal activities in his district which comprises the Province of An huet and part of the Province of Kiangai. More than a third of that mount will be spent on schools; S1O,000 on the school in Anking alone.
 The school at Lungmen, which is held in one corner of a Chinese an cestral hall and has twenty five boys all but one belonging to the Chou family, will also be aided. Lungmen Is 100 miles south of Wuhu, in the heart of the mountains in a famous tea district. Besides serving as q schoolroom, the ancestral hall is used for storing the tea crop.

 The legislative establishment win need S9,025, ,297, it is estimated, while the executive branches of the gov ernment combined will seek a total of $149, ,463. Chief among the latter departmental expenditures is an estimate of $73, ,4O5,101 for the Treas ury Department. This sum which is much larger than in former years indicates the added expense to be borne in the enforcement of proFf- bition. Included in this also is the appropriation of 37,528,1O2 to be asked by the Department of Agri- culture for carrying on it's field ac- tivities.
 The Judiciary will ask for 1,634- 19O. For foreign intercourse, appro- priations totaIiing 11,243. .25O will be sought. Appropria tions for the De partment of State, exclusive of the funds for use in foreign work, will be $1571,350, and for the other exc cutive departments, appropriations to be sought will be as follows: War Department, proper $6,615, 5,248; Navy Department, proper, $3.O97,S7O; In terior Department, $6,287,1S5; Post Office Department, 3,S7O; De- partment. of Justice, 7O4,54O, and De- partment of Labor, s1,70O.43O.

 The Shipping Board has estimated it's needs at $447,755, ,061 to be used in operation of the merchant marine and completing it's building program.
 The administration program for re- hahilitating soldiers and sailors calls for an appropriation of $38,75O, 900. This figure, howevet, is subject to change because statistics as to cer- tain projected activities were incom- pIete.
 Work of the Federal Trade Com mission will require S1,283,13O. Ex- penditures of the District of Columbia government were estimated at S1g,- 179,OOO.
 Permanent annual appropriations 752. These included $1,O17, 1000 for interest on the public debt; GUS toms and internal revenue, s25, ,207,- O00; sinking fund $2S7,500 and mis- cenaneous, $95, 5,5O0,0oO.

Failure of the United States Senate to ratify the Treaty of Versailles regardless of all it's political aspects served to emphasize those factors in the existing situation which handicap the normal flow of trade.
 As matters stand today the United States is still technically at war with Germany, and has no con- suIar representation there. Spanish consular officials are offering what assistance lies in their power, which is necessarily limited. American busi- ness men, seeking to buy goods or expedite the delivery of raw materials are hedged about with restrictions and many times more onerous than will be those of business men of other na- lions after their governme ents have de- posted their notifications with the Su- preme Council. The same difficulty tria The consequence is that suf- ferine and unrest continue in both these countries. Production is hind cred, indemnity payments are delayed and the remainder of the world bears the burden.

In order to take care of the rush of men and women in every com nluntty who are taking active part in Americas Peace Offensive and are en- rolling themselves as Thrift Citizens, according to the plan laid down by the Government Loan Organization, prac- ticaIIy every bank and trust com pany in the Second Federal Reserve Dis tr1ct has agreed to become a Collateral Consignment Agent of the Treasury Department to handle the registration and sale of Treasury Savings Certtf- cates-
 Although First and second-C1ass Post Offices may sell the S100 Certifi- cates, only incorporated banks and trust companies are permitted by the law to handle the S1,000 Certificates.

 To become Thrift Citizen. 1t ia only necessary to fill in the pledge agreement here shown and to deposit it with your bank. The actual pledge here shown may be cut out and used.

PLAN REVIVAL OF
BILL FIGHTING

Brownsville. TaXas, March 21.-A
revival Of bull fighting is planned by
residents in some of the Mexican
states along the border.
Reports say the people of Mata-
moros, across the Rio Grande from
here, are arranging for reconstruc-
ton CT the famous bull ring there
and have applied to the Governor of
Tamualipas for authority to proceed
1t is planned to hold bull fight in a
temporary arena on May 5, the an
niversary of the victory of Mexican
arms over the French at Puebla.
Bull fighting in Matamoros was
discontinued six years ago The
arena, one Of the finest in the repub-
lie, was destroyed by Carranza's ad-
herents when Matamoros was taken
by the forces under General Blanco.
The federal forces made their last
stand in the bull ring.
Bull fights were abolished in the
republic by decree of General Car
rama as soon as he became presid-
emit Later the governors of the re-
S|tttiyc states were permitted to
allow or prohibit the fights.
Years ago many Americans were
attracted &c bull fights in the towns
across the border and the railroads
gave reduced rates.
