Saturday night late. My dearest Joan:
 It was in rather a reckless mood went to that dinner at the Fontaine- bleu. My cheeks may have been shade pinker with excitement, my eyes brighter, than usual I was gay with the Oh-I-don't- -care -what's-the- use gayety of the person who is down in the dumps.
 The place matched my gayety. Brand new hotel giving itself d coming-out party. All the officers of the railroad which owns the chain of hotels were there. with their wives. l suppose some thought it odd that John Heron, di- rector and organizer. having no wife. brought his red d-haired secretary in stead-a red haired secretary in red- haired moodl
 Not that l behaved in any way un- seemly. dear, don't worry. Simply that the wives snubbed me, and I snubbed them back, and directed my attention such as it was, to the men. The men, with the exception of Mortimer Mills, the president, were nice.
 Miss Varick," John Heron began our introduction, q want you to know our chief, MT. Mills. president of the o. M. & Western. Mills, this is Miss Narick, my very good friend and helper who came to our rescue when Watts fell ill.,
 MT. Mills looked through me as though l were a pane of glass behind which he saw something of interest.
 'Ah-Miss ah Varsity-ah-I think see Peters over there. Excuse me?"
 Excuse him? I could have killed him
 Don't mind him." whispered Heron. It's me he is cunning for. I don't like to make you the bone of contention, Miss Narick, but since it has got to be war between Mills and me, the actual cause doesn't matter"
 Doesn't matter?p I echoed. flushine hotly. Tt is part of my secretarial duty, l suppose, to be"
 You know I don't mean it in that sense" said Heron. not in the least dismayed. Tt is simply that sooner or later Mills and 1 must fight it oua It chances to be upon the issue of your secretaryship. He wants a man I want you. l am going to win the fight. Please don't be disturbed. by his be- havior l will make it up to you.''
 was about to ask him how, when the signal was given for us to seat ourselves at table and 1 found myself between two of the railroad officials of the younger group who seemed to be divided between a desire to be nice to me and a fear of incurring the presi- dents ill will. Heron, noted, was the only person who was entirely calm and unperturbed.
 decided to adopt his self possession, and my frock helped me do it. I knew l looked we'll that my hair was nicely done. my complexion more natural than any other woman's there, and that I had nothing whatever to be ashamed of. I knew which forks to use and how to manage my fish and salad without using a knife. I drank nothing but mineral water. although wines were constantly passed. And I kept telling myself that l was the great grand daughter of Dorothea Saltonstall Var ick, a true Colonal Dane and that boise

OBSERVATIONS

As an example of how thoroughly Europe has adopted our ideasm, consider this statement by one of her politicians We must labor to adjust the American point of view to the European" Gall what? You can always tell whether is driving his first or second If it is his first, he wears gauntets
 Now that Lower California has closed it's doors Japanese Chinese and Asatics, Carranza may have cause to regret that he doesn't recognize the Monroe doctrine.
 Leading Ausrians are wondering what will hap pen unless strong government can be formed to weld the country into harmonious whole Well, for thing, the country will become like America
 
 Austria has not yet adopted democratic methods, Food is and high, and no one has thought to appoint Investigating committee.
 From financial circles in Vienna comes the com paint that the is becoming almost worthless That's nothing. Think what has happened to the good American dollar.
 Eight hour day. six hour day three hour day. And finally just in the morning to that the boss is working
 If the government force men to cross ocean and sacrifice their lives, it force them arbrate labor disputes That is cold logic. Govern ment says it can't be done That is cold feet
 And yet we would go wild and bite ourselves if Carranza should send a punitive expedition after those Pueblo citizens who lynched two Mexicans.
 
 DAnnunzio has the heart of patriot It is fortunate that nature denied him head to -oper ate with ii.
 We Americans delight in scoding the greaser because he is lazy. But why should he work when he can capture Americans and hold them for ransom? 
 The governor of Massachusetts says there is right to strike against the public safety. Isn't this a sort of doctrine for this bright of brotherly love?
 church publication says the Japs moral than Americans because Jap films show very little kissing. But who would want to kiss a Jap? The most convincing thing about Bullitt's revea- tions is that public who interviewed ing the matter unanimously have nothing to say.

of the industry This is the work of the coming con- ference
 Because cotton is ginned, compressed, graded and baled according different standards in every try that the staple there is it is de- clared. why the producers and handlers in the different countries should not together ard adopt uniform standards that would so much to the consuming trade.
 These are the many subjects that are to be dis cussed at the Worlds Cotton conference in New Orleans next month. Cotton men are going to the from nearly every country that spins the fibre. Many eminent speakers be in attendance each authority the respective branch of the industry concerning which he will speak.
 The conference promises be the note worthy gathering in history the cotton industry. More than 6oOo delegates, representing every branch of the cotton industry in the United States well as from 25 foreign countries expected to be in at tendance. Although the conference wili be of the largest held, the executive committee has per fcted rules of procedure which make it certain that the gathering will function quickly, without friction and with little waste of time.
 Delegates to the conference are to register by business interests under the following classes: grow CTS ginners crushers and manufacturers of seed products compressors, cotton merchants transporta- ton insurance, banking governments and econo- mics spinners and manufacturers-Amerlcan Splnners and manufacturers-foreign, textile merchants con verters and finishers.
 Growers of cotton will have the largest repre- sentation, 1sO0 Next the bankers, from both north and south with 94O. Southern commercial bodies will send $40 delegates The ginners of cotton will send 500 men, cotton seed oil manufacturers 200. There are to be ten sessions conference It is to be practical affair program addresses to be limited to fifteen minutes and speakers to but ten minutes
 Some of the important subjects concerning the welfare the industry which will be discussed st the conference are growing of cotton, improving methods compressing need for uniformity of bales producing cotton by better farming, securing cotton by seed selection worlds future require ments of cotton, new of cotton production warehousing of cotton, transportation, methods of financing uniform classification, buying cotton for future delivery sabilzing the price of cotton, regua ton of labor conditions.
 Great as the cotton industry and in spite of its many years of development in the United States and other countries of the world, it has been grown in somewhat of haphazard of fashion, and one of the great objects the coming conference will be the discussion of possibility of allocating the grow ing of this staple among the producing countries as to prevent a gut or a scarcity, unavoidable under present methods of growing and handling.

My Suspicious Gather About My Rival and ] Treasure My New Weapon.

Jealousy made my ugly suspicion about Katherine Miller thrive like a weed in warm rain. Baby Barbara had katherines peculiar tint of blond loveliness. There was a strange tawny glow in the child's skin as well as in her hair And Katherine had both rare beauties. She was truly |" golden girP' of the type which drives artists mad with admiration. The type is found but once in a decade. I had never seen the tigerish yellow tinge of skin except in Katherine and Baby Barbara.
 I chided myself on founding so wretched suspicion on the strange resemblance. Yet I continued to strengthen my theory with the facts about the time of Katherines disap- pearance from the city and her long absence. The dates eoincided very oddly with the important dates in Bar baras short life.
 Only rarely had Katherine made visits home in the last four years. It was part of the petty gossip of her set that she had stayed away because she couldn't live in peace with her sisters. 1t suddenly occurred to me that she probably stayed away because her family didn't approve of her. for some reason they didn't advertise.
 None of her girl friends had ever taken her war work seriously She had been overseas. to be sure, but her dearest" friends agreed that she must have been more ornamental than use full in her war activities.
 When she finally come home to stay, she had selected date when her fam lily had gone to the mountains. A time, l told myself. when my precious Bob also had come to stay.
 I knew that it was perfectly horrid of me to piece these bits of gossip together, but I couldn't fail to see that they fitted each other like the sections of picture puzzle.

I resolved to conceal my doubts of Katherine from everybody. I wouldn't even confide in Mother Lorimer.
 Once again I was reminded that Mother was never more than coldly polite to Miss Miller. Could it be pos sible that she, too, had noted that ex- traordinary freak of coloring in the girl and the child?
 Mother Lorimer had adopted Ben jie's baby just before Bob went away to the war. Bob had hunted the child up and that long hunt had kept him from enlisting and had therefore added months to my happiness as a bride Bob found the baby after Benjie was killed, but had never revealed the name of its mother. I began to suspect that he had never known it.
 In the winter the child had developed an obstinate cough following the measles and all summer had been kept with her nurse at famous mountoin sanitarium. She was about to come home. I decided it would be mighty interesting to watch Katherine Miller when Barbara was around.
 I admitted myself that my dis trust was probably unwarranted, nevertheless, l developed a new hard ness toward Miss Miller.
 Long ago had resolved that l would never claim my rightful place in the family as Bob's wife unless he should recognize me and love me again as his wife.
 l had told daddy and mother that il Bob should recover. partially or wholly and fall in love with another girl would be divorced-for the sake oi his happiness.
 But it wasn't possible for me to con template any such sacrifice, if Kath- erine Miller were the girl
 On the contrary. if my suspicious proved to be correct, I had a weapon with which to vanquish my rival knew that I would not hesitate tC use it.

WHEN AUTUMN COMES ALONG

Summertime was mighty sweet,
 But autumn comes along, And that's when winds are hard to beat At singin of a song! They seem, beneath the sun and moon, To raise rolickin tune. And when the winds have gone their ways Just all too tired to sing We greet the dancing nights and days, And hear home-music ringl Joys in the old home place abound The fiddlers call for Hands around.r : Oh, then there's higher hope and heart, And tables that are spread, With Love to play the happy part To break and bless the bread. And then it is the joy we know That makes us love sweet Autumn so.

Mrs. Gulian Lansing, Boston, Mass, wears a necklace dating from about 5000 B. C., mere matter of 3900 years.
 You might mention that to your wife the next time she tells you she can't wear her last winters coat because 1t is a year old
 However, it won't do you any good.
 If last winters coat had been worn by the Queen of Sheba, or some other prehistoric dame any woman today would trade her right hand for it.
 Mrs. Rose Campagnaro, New York, has been arrested charged with sell ing love powders at $10 an ounce. All one was supposed to do was to feed the powder to a husband whose affections had cooled bit and he'd again begin sending home vlolets and candy right away. They were guaranteed to make even the most timid young man pro pose.
