Love Affairs of a Lonely Woman
By MARY HAIx

I regret more than I can tell you that the dress and hat and the shoes cost so much. I am not exactly impoverished, but l could never have afforded these garments, had it not been at your re- quest that I wear them as a sort of of flee uniform"
 Tut! Tut replied Mortimer Let
 it go at that and let's get down to busi- ress with my letter."
 For an instant word of anger sprung to Jane's lips, for he seemed not to un- derstand her delieacy
 But this is business, MT. Mortimer, end only business. Here is the change, $41 .S5, and here are the receipts. Please accept my receipt as well for the money which I spent-s5S 15, so that as soon as I can do so I may take up the money and own these things myself, for my own self respect"
 There was no mistalling the little grim rote of determination in her voice as she spoke. Mortimer was a master stu dent of psychology and without another word on the subject he accepted both the tradesmen's receipts and the memo dunn which Jane hurriedly wnote out
 As she handed them to him, James mind flashed back to the amused look which he had given her the night before r the Purple Cat cabarat, when he lad espied her in the new gown. She stammered with the shame of it for an instant. and then with that honest frank ness which has always been hers, she blurted out:
 MT. Mortimer, I must apozgive for wearing this dress last evening. It was all through horrid mistake, and it caused me perfectly miserable time of sE asne and misery. I will never wear f. out of working hours until I have paid

No 9.
 Engrossed for few minutes over some papers, leaving Jane in a quandary as to just what her new duties were to be, Mortimer suddenly spun about in his chair.
 q think I'll give you a letter, Miss Brown" said the broker "Then, when you get it done, we'll have about a thou sand multigraphed and all you'll have to do will be to fill in the names. Pedro will have my first list made out this morning. Are you ready?
 Jane was glad to be busy and came to the side of his desk to take the dicta- ton. As she sat down, Mortimer handed her a notebook. and a pencil, with an in- gratiating smile
 I've been so preoccupied with start ing things that I forgot to tell you that I have laid in an ample stock of pencils, notebooks and the rest of the necessary paraphernalia- You'll find them all in the bottom drawer of your desk. had one here for some memo randa of my own. Before long that new red-headed office boy will be at work, suppose so you just send him out for arything you need. Office stationery is the cheapest thing in the world for a business like mine"
 Jane nodded and poised the new pencil over the book.

 Before we start I must say that you have remarkably good taste in choosing your gown and shoes. No wonder you won the floral prize this morning. It's an suspicious start" he said.
 Jane started, and sprang to her feet.
 "Oh, Mir Mortimer" she said. ''I forgot to give an accounting Of the money. you advanced to me"
 Acc cb ia1 r1 her which lay on her typewriting desk, Mortimer chuckled.
 NO hurry about that" he told her. You can repay that out of your salary in the next two or three weeks. You're just now inthe town, but a little change might not be amiss now.
 Jane Brown flushed to the roots of her dark hair, as she faced him.
 "Why, MT. Mortimer" she begans l never borrowed a cent in my life. and much less could I take money in this way. You must misunderstood me. ask for TO aid, only for the chance to do my best in your work.
 The broker laughed curiously and his eyes twinkled.
 .'Itss easy to see that you. are indeed from the country, my dear gill was his response, as he waved a depreeating hand. q don't mean to offend you. admire your pride. I just wanted to help you in case it might be hard sleddine at the start And, anyway, I can't i'm agine there's much change, anyway.
 Jane was opening her purse now with fingers which tremblcd ever so slightly A surging of shame swept over her, Tor now she felt that she had placed herself in a position of what was almost charity for this man.

From Forbes Magazine.
 Through long years of experience the clerks in the executive offices at Wash ington can sift out the propaganda correspondence with unfailing eyes. Propaganda has always been the favor ite work of large number of agita- tors. although 1t took the war to show just what force lies in the agency But there is something about a nation wide propaganda that overreaches itself. At the White House there is no difficulty in detecting the inspired letters. for they always bring out the same main idea along the lines suggested by the propagandist
 When this mail is segregated, the re- maipder gets more careful considera- tion. The ackonw Judgments that go out for every letter received at the White House are along stereoptyped lines, but the humblest writer is as sured of attention. and the business

IRISH AMERICA
ENJOYS STOPPED
BY ARMY GUARD

Dublin, May 12.-Frank p. Walsh,
representatives OF Irish societies IN
the United States, visited Galway on
Sunday and left in the evening for
Westport. Notwithstanding that they
we're officially notified that they
would not be allowed to go there be-
cause Westport had been proclaimed
military area. An armored car ar
rived at Westport on Sunday and mil
itary pickets have been posted along
the roads over which the delegates
will travel to that town.
When the delegates reached the
sentries on the outskirts of Westport
they found troops with fixed bayonets
police with carbines and armored cars
drawn across the road. Mr.. Walsh
who shared an automobile with
Messrs. Dunno and Ryan, and Father
OFlannagan, produced passports and
told the officer in charge that they
were diplomatic passports which had
been vised at the embassy and given
to them at the request of Premier
Lloyd George and President Wilson
The officer replied that he had been
aware for some days that they were
coming but as Westport was under
military control, his orders were not
to allow them to pass that night. The
delegates then went to Castlebar, the
capital of the county of Mayo.
A large party of men and women
marching in military formation and
carrying flags. including the Stars and
Stripes, tried to pass the barrier into
Westport but were dispersed by the
soldiers.

Washington Surprised.

Washington May 12.--Proposals
haye been made at Paris by the Brit
ish and French governments that the
United States accept as part payment
for loans advanced them, notes and
bonds on some of the South American
republics, including Brazil, which
they hold. 1t was said here today that
there had been no opposition to the
plan and that the United States had
approved it because it would remove
some of the interests of the European
powers in the American continent and
thus accord with the principle of the
Monroe doctrine.
Commenting on the statement at
Rio Janeiro by Madeiros de Albuquer-
que, 1eading journalist of Brazil, re-
garding this transfer of debts, state
department officials emphasized that
there was no desire On the part of the
United States to exert any influence
on BraZiPs internal affairs.
The attack on TIE United States by
the Brazilian journalist caused sur
prise in official and diplomatic cir
cles in Washington, ii being pointed
out that during his stay of seven
months in this country, he voiced no
opinion of hostility and frequently ex-
pressed the friendship of Brazil for
the United States. il was learned to-
day at the Brazilian embassy that
while he was in New York, he sent
several dispatches to his paper prais-
ing the United States for its part in
the war and It's interest in Pan-Amer-
ican affairs.
