= ONE tiger lilies were on the hotel
desk, and everything seemed in
~ holiday mood. The people looked
as II they were waiting, waiting in
blind confding delight for something
unusual. Glad vague smiles fiickered
across their faces.
BY telephone the clerk announced a
caller for Mr.. Galsworthy. But the
people in no way connected the pres
ence OF this man with the general at
mosphere of elation.
In fact, one woman was quite inn
patient at the interruption. She was

and she had no time. Why should any
body stop this important business to
! speak to this Mr.. Galsworthy. who
ever he might be? Though. Of course
she will be sorry IL she ever learns that
IL was John Galsworthy.
During the few moments preceding
Mr.. Galsworthy's entrance 10 the lobby
| fashionable men and women fashion
ably greeted one another. though after

to talk about.

sleeve bounded up the stairs, announc-

all thar he was going to the theatre
This is important only because in his
joyous haste he almost upset a man

The man in the tweeds and the
soldier in khaki exchanged brilliant
smiles and went on.
The faint smile was still on John
Galsworthy's face as he walked, I'M
observed, through the hotel lobby. He
had the air OF one to whom II would
never occur that anybody should no
tice him. So that there was nothing
to fix him in the memory of the peo-
pie whom he passed, unless his very
gentleness is a kind of manner to be
remembered. All the people saw was
a man perhaps 80. Of medium height
thin and fair, with features finely
chiselled and delicate. though somehow

Certainly no two men Of letters were

Leave Cashiers Desk

Announcement has been made of
the resignation OF Lee N. Satterfield,
cashier of the First National bank of
Monongah. His resignation is effec-
tive June 10 and 1t is very probable
that John D. Anthony, of this city,
former freight agent for the B. G o.
railroad here, will be his successor.
Mr.. Satterfield has resigned to go
into the automobile business, having
the agency for the Nash truck and
automobile in Marion county.
For eleven years Mr.. Satterfield has
been connected with the Monongah
bank and in that time has won host
of friends in and about Monongah who
will greatly regret his resignation. AS
cashier of the Monongah bank he won
for himself fine reputation as an eff.
ficient banker and he was especially
active in putting Monongah over the

.ROTAR|ANS TO DINE
At COUNTRY CLUB
Will be Guests OF Four Mem
bers Who Belong to
Both Organizations.

The Fairmont Rotary club is going
to dine at the Fairmont Country club
this week.
The Fairmont Rotary club will be
the guests of Brooks Fleming, Jr., j..
NJ. Hartley, Henry s. Lively and E.
Blaine Moore, who are members of
both organizations.
The invitations for the dinner just
got in the mails this afternoon and
this item is likely to reach the eye of
Rotarians in advance of official notifi-
cation.
The Fairmont Rotary club sought
the use of the Fairmont Country club
for regular Thursday evening meet
ings every week of this summer and
was refused as the membership of the
Fairmont Country club thought that
1t would not do to permit any organi-
zation the use of the club regularly at
stated intervals.
The meeting of this week is not a
regular Rotary gathering but rather
a special affair as 1t will be held
Wednesday evening when the Rotary
meetings take place on Thursday.

This is due to the fact that with
the time advanced tho men can not
get into the fields during the early
morning hours when the dew is heavy.
and since the hired man on the farm
no longer, works on the "sun TO sun
schedule, the question of getting WORT
done on the farm is a real one.
In this particular section the
change this year will be back to the
