The maids pretty dark eyes nearly popped out of her head as she watched me chew away on ''wad" made of several sticks of gum. It was plain1 that she didn't approve of me at all. Neither did I like myself-nor the gum but as I chewed vigorously before the glass I realized that the effect of my violent facial gymnastics was inn
 portant. It preceded me and con- cealed my identity like a barrage. I broke my own-and the maids train of thought:
 Has the motor gone for Dr. Ger teis?"
 Half an hour ago, mademoiselle," she answered.
 An open fire frightened the great hall of the house and I went down to wait before it and to welcome the master, as I had promised. But not altogether "as I had promised" ! thought, as I tried to get used to my ultra- fashionable skirt, as well as to my gum, which I always forgot to chew when I had any serious thing to do. Hamilton Certeis entered the hall energetically and eagerly. He had passed his wrecked offices but not t thought of his losses seemed to disturb him. He came toward my silhouette against the glowing grate with smile of pleasure. He gave one hasty glance at me, stopped abruptly, bowed hastily l and formally. Then he turned with a sharp question in German to the man who followed with his bags.
 The man appeared to apologize for
 his own existence, and to explain mine. Evidently the maid had spread

 "Beguiling a man is a very easy task, according to history" I thought. So long as a man is entertained, pleased, amused, he stays-and grows confidential. Amusement is what most men want-and what they manage to get somehow. A man seldom gets so exalted or so busy that he refuses to be amused-by a woman"

UNITING A NEDIToRlAL KNOT

If one can say or write what he means and can say or write il pleasing ly and effectively, he is a good gram marian. though he may never have seen text book" says the high brow editorial writer of The Republican, in an editorial deploring the tendency 10 be hypercritical the matter of writing grammatically. Being of a gen erous disposition. we will pass mag naimously over the fact that our edI- torial spieler here is confusing rhet- oric with grammar, and will take up d subsequent statement in his editorial, to this effect: All that xa may think is bad grammar, is not really so.' Now, what our eminent contemporary really meant to say was, NOT all that we may think is bad grammer, is really so"

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, H., April 2S.-Pro-
nounced weakness developed in
the corn market today owing to a
considerable extent to the fact that re-
ceipts here Were the largest for some
time. Prices closed heavy, q to q
net lower, with July $1.65 to $1.G5 a
and September $1.62 to $1621a. Oats
lost * to ! 70 and provisions IL to IS.
Estimates of the number of car
loads of corn that arrived in Chicago
today put the total at about 500. and
it was said that as country elevator
stocks as rule were liberal, the crop
movement was likely to continue a
while to be generous. Hedging sales
together with liquidation by holders
resulted and forced the market down
ward. AT one time before the end of
the first hour, though u scarcity of
pit offerings led to bulge that car
ried July and September to the high
est levels vet this season, but the eff
feet was only transient.
Oats weakened with corn.
Provisions were depressed by the
decline in both grain and hogs.

Corn: July, $1.G5; Sept, $1.62H.
oats: July IL Sept, 7OM.
