Sharp. who was to make a short
visit at the Sedley home before be-
ginning her career of self support

Becky was small. pale and sandy
haired. with eyes habitually cast
down; when they looked UP they
were large. odd and attractive. AS
Miss Sharp's father had been an
artist and drunkard, and her
French mother an opera girl. 1t Is

took her departure from the SedIey
house.
She went to be governess In the
home of Sir Pitt Crawley. which
place. in her letters to Amelia, she
dubbed Humdrum Hall. There were
many Crawleys. the most important
being Sir Pitts spinster sister. and
his second son, Rawdon Crawiey.
The old lady possessed seventy thou
sand pounds. and had almost adopted
Rawdon. who was her favorite neph-
ew. while several members of the
family fought to supplant him in her
favor. Captain Rawdon Crawley was
large young dandy. who spoke with
great voice and swore a good deal.
He remarked of the demure Rebecca,

There was an overwhelming major
ity for the repeal of the act in the law
of 1911 which made the Office of su-
perintendent Job for life for the man
who happened to be appointed under
it TO that position. THE vote, was
1870 fol. repeal and 515 against repeal.
The vote was a small one and there
was only the normal effort put forth
by the party workers to get out the
vote for the city officers, but there was
an active drive by Edwin L. Burnap
and Walter W. Lang, president Of the
water board. to see that every vote
possible should be registered on ref

eilt of the water department back to
the way that had prevailed before the
1917 act was passed and would end

position for life. under the operation
of that act. air. Burnap was naturally
working against the repeal. Presi-
dent Lang on the other hand was do
ing all he could to carry the repeal
vote since he wants to hold OH for an
other year at least to the place. he now
has as president and directing head
of the water department. However, it
is evident that many people did not
