A REPLY TO KITTY LOU

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I can
not represS the impulse 70 reply to
KITTY LOUIS query, What do you

To me it seems as thouch 1t would
have been better had it have passed
unnoticed. Human nature needs no
melting, and il the woman who sought
advice had been mentally weak, great
harm might have come to her chill

Their. too Kitty Lou would not yol
be in a dilemma? When one writes
something that cannot hc readily un-
dcrst0od. the way is open foc any one
to put their own construction upon

have written for The Corner during

HOW TO GROW SWEET PEAS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: While
travelling through Mour.t Pleasant, S.
|C. I found out how to pIant the sweet
pea and have fine results.
The sweet Pea should always have
trench dug about eight to ten
inches in depth, and the trenches at
least foot wide. s
Then in the bottom # the trench
have three riches of well 1otted ma
nure: on the top Of that throw "a little
soil say one and a half to two inches.
Then you are ready to Sc your seed
in the earth.
Sow your peas in 4. double row,
about nine t. ten inches apart each
seed about one inch apart; cover your
seed with two to three inches Of soil,
and then they are able to withstand
the drouth.
After the little plants appear and
have attained sufficient height fill the
! tt ench little ny little with rich soil.
The sweet pea requires air and sun
slime. and you must be careful about
| vIur bush, and have it sufficiently
| strong to withstand the wind and
storms: and be sure there are plenty
cross supports for the many tendrils
/ OF the vines.
| Covering the trench Is good idea

Dear Friends of the Social Corner:
You ask for the story of my pen name

Polly and Scottie.
In fancy turn back to that morning
about eight years ago. When seated
at the desk in my coy dining room |
penned my first letter to the Social
Corner. The letter written, how was
l to sign it? AS I sat thinking of diff
ferent names, my eyes rested on the
word Glenwood. seemingly in letters
of silver, for the sun shone into my
kitchen, making the nickel trimming
on my new Glenwood No. 9 range al
most dazzling in it's brightness.

handsome, and had recently been given
to me by Hubby, to take the place Of

Presidents 5 Condition
Is Not Affected BY
Increased Activities

Washington, Oct. 23.-With ex-
ception of brief attention to the
difficulties of the national industrial
conference, President Wilson Thurs
day got uninterrupted rest.
After a report on developments in
the conference had been given the
president and he had formulated a
message to Secretary Lane, chair
man of the conference, Rear Ad-
miral Grayson ordered that no fur
ther government matters be brought
to the presidents attention.
The prohibition enforcement bill
with an opinion as to its constitu-
tionality by Attorney General Pal
mer, reached the White House late
in the day from the Department of
Justice, but in accordance with DR..
Grayson's order, it was not laid be-
fore the president.
The presidents condition, it was
explained, had not been affected by
his increased activity. but the
chances that too much attention to
public affairs might retard his re-
covery were considered too great
to risk taking UP matters not ur-
gently needing his attention. He
has until next Tuesday midnight to
act on the prohibition bill.
DR.. Grayson's regular night an
nouncement was confined to this
brief bulletin:
"The president is satisfactorily
maintaining the improvement which
he has recently made"

Armistice Was Greatest
War Blunder, Says Harries
Omaha Army Officer at
Banquet of Palimpsest
Club Tells of Condi-
tions in Germany.

'The granting of the armistice to
Germany was the greatest blundcr
committed by the allies in the war;"
declared Gen. George H. Harries at
a banquet given in his honor last
night by the Palimpsest club at the
Omaha club
"They talk about celebrating No.
vember II as Armistice day, making
it a public holiday. 1t is nothing
less, in my opinion, than an interna-
tional disgrace. The granting of the
armistice was military, political
and economic blunder."
General Harries was the first
American officer to enter Berlin
after the signing of the armistice
and he drew a vivid picture last
night Of Germany which believes
today that it was not conquered,
which is swiftly recovering by in
dustry and organization, which has
its secret espionage system at work
and which is already planning re-
venge.

II saw General Pershing's plan of
action, written long before the ar

being received as anything but de-

Parliament Rejects Govern
ment Alien Bill by Vote Of
1856 to 113 With Only About
Half the Members in Session.
COUNTRY IS FACED
BY CHANGE OF: PARTY,
Bonar Law Moves Adiourn-
ment Until Monday to Enable
Ministers to Consider What
Course They Should Adopt.

London, Oct. 23.--The country -
suddenly faced by the possibility Of
a change of government or dissolu-
ton of Parliament, owing to quite
unexpected defeat of the government
in the House of Commons Thursday
by a majority of II. Only about
half the members were present and
the vote by which the government
was defeated was 185 to 113.
The alien bill, the earlier stages Ok
which were disposed OF during the
summer session, was in the report
stage. The committee had previous
ly inserted an amendment withhold
ing pilotage certificates from. all ali-
ems and the government sought BY
amendment to modify this restric-
ton in favor of a number Of French
pilots, for whom provision had been
made in the existing pilotage act.
This amendment, however, was de-
feated, although in charge of gov
ernnent whips.
The announcement of the figures
was greeted with loud cheers from
Tic fOpPooiliOh quoA tSiS oiAu SuuoSu
much excitement.
Andrew Bonar Law Immediately
moved adjournment Of the house.
until Monday to enable the govern
ment to consider what course It
should adopt. He admitted that the
defeat of an amendment with GOV
ernment whips was serious mat.
ter requiring consideration, but de-
clined to admit that it necessarily
implied the resignation of the min.
istry. This, he declared, would de-
pend upon the view of the House Of
Commons as a whole.
Opinions on the situation as<ex-
pressed in the lobbies are conflict
ing, but in view of the small attend.
ance in the house it is thought that
the government may decide not TO-
resign.
