voice that 1 have remarked ever
since that night of the Hotel Fon-

had said, Never mind, / will make

to be trying to in every way possible.
Thank you," I answered. "a day

busy right now"
Don't consider that. I can get

calm belief that the world is his
oyster, to be opened with his little
jack-knife
But to get back to my story.
Imagine my dismay at receiving your
letter yesterday, limiting darkly of
gossip. In the midst of my fondly
planning to go to old, friendly Bents-

learn thGt B~entsville is all agog with

sick to the very heart of me
1 know that the B%entsville branch
of his road has its office in Randy

didn't you tell me more details? Your
letter Is SO vague. Probably you were
afraid of hurting me. Well, nothing
could hurt me more thai not know
Ing the whole truth of the miserable
business.
1 have read your letter for the
third time. Is it my imagination, or
has doubt of me crept even into your
lear loyal heart? And if you do not
trust me, surely Randy cannot; nor
anybody else. I am too distressed
and frightened to write more tonight.
We reach Holdings Junction in the
morning. I'll send this note from
there, and do in PHYS name, my
Joanie, send me some message quick

First Dolls.

The first dolls of which there is any
knowledge were found among the
treasures unearthed from the ruins Of
Babylon. They were small figures In
terra Gotta and ivory, beautifully
carved and must have been fascinating
playthings for little Assyrian children.
The little girls of Syria had mechani-
cal dolls. The dolls the classic chill
dren played with were made of wax
and clay, decorated with bright colors.
AS these children married very young,
they played with their dolls until just

A

A few years ago a distinguished Southern woman. a writer
OF national reputation, sent some cards to her intimate friends
inviting them to a dinner in honor of her one hundredth birth
day. Her friends were naturally curious TO know why she should
be so particular about the observance Of an event that was,
according to the best guessers, somewhere between fifty and
sixty years in the future. Her explanation was that she wanted
her one hundredth anniversary properly observed, and as she
probably would not be here for the occasion, she thought she
had better celebrate it now.
There was logic in her conclusion. The birthdays that wo
celebrate are accustomed to be regarded in this country as bank
Holidays, rather than for any especial significance for the individ-
9al whose memory they are intended to preserve. The life OF
the Individual is short at best, and the fleeing years pass too
rapidly to be taken into account by anyone except the one who
takes note Of the accumulation of gray hairs or of their disap-
Pearance. N 70 5@4. "

Its people believe it is one of the great cities of the country,
and, believing, they seek to make it so. Memphis wants the
people of the Mississippi valley to see her as she sees herself.
Perhaps it would be we'll sometimes If she could see herself as
others see her. But that is aside. We want our friends, neigh

MORE SENSIBLE

# The Austrian delegates who arrived in France are display
ing much better sense and taste than their allies, the Germans,
and as a result they have been more cordially received, and are
being entertained more as friends than as enemies.
A Chancellor Karl Renner, who heads the deleqation. realizes
the position OF his country, and before leaving told his people
that a ~vanquished nation need not be too hopeful or expect too
much. For his own part he ,was going to do the very best he
could under the circumstances, but the victorious allies are in
command, and the ~vanquished must take what they can get.
This is the proper spirit, and it will open the way to a much
more favorable settlement than could be obtained il he came in
defiant and clustering, and making demands that cannot be
conceded. This is in splendid contrast with the conduct of the
Germans, who came in frownng and scowling, and attempting
to browbeat their way through. They made small Roadway
when they encountered the suave and imperturbable Wilson
and the tiger" of France, Neither Of these high commissioners
scared worth a cent, They soon gave the Germans to Under
stand that it was not a gabfest, and that no oral discussion
would be permitted. Any changes made in the program would
be gracously made by the allies and associates, and not dictated
by the Germans,
department, They brought their wives and daughters with
them, thus showing faith in the chivalry and courtesy Of the
French, and these did not fail them.
The Austrians have begun we'll, and while they have a diff
Guilt task before them, they may save something out of the
wreck. They certainly are i'll a better position than are the Ger
mans, who could not realize that they no longer dominated the
conference. The kaiser did not carry out his promise TO eat
his Christmas dinner in Paris. His plans went awry, as all plans
OF mice and men are disposed to do sometimes.
1t Austria could shake herself clear of Germany the world
would be more kindly disposed toward her. At all events we
are nearing the beginning of the end, and the long desired peace
may come soon: 1t will be a p~atched-up peace in places, nc
doubt, but if it gives the poor old world a season Of rest it will
be welcome on any terms.
When nations are at war the representatives of these nations
are enemies, and are expected to treat each other as such
When they come together to arrange terms of peace they must
meet at trends, because peace and friendship 60 hand in hand
and friendship must form the foundation Of lasting peace. The
Austnans are subtle enough to discern this truth, and there is
more hope for them.
