Proclamation
Is Issued By
Absent Manor

Mayor Monteverde, who has been in
Nashville for some days leading the
fight against the passage of the Mem
phis city manager charter amendment,
evidently finds that he can not leave
the political situation there to honor
the l15th by his presence in Memphis,
but from the state capital has issued
the following proclamation;
To the Citizens of Memphis:
Tomorrow Is Liberty day.
Two years 6 Sunday word was
flashed around the world hat America
was ready TO offer her all in the great
struggle to preserve democracy, Amer
cans throughout the land are now pre-
pairing to celebrate the second a%nniver .
sary OF our entry into the war.
This fact alone should call for the
greatest celebration in history. How
ever, by coincidence. that day also will
mark the return of the l15th field ar
tillery-a regiment composed almost
entirely of Memphis boys.
We should give these returning heroes
such a reception as would dwarf any
demonstration ever held In this city.
Private business should be suspended.
Flags should be displayed on every
business house and private dwelling,
The streets should be decked with Old
Glory.
Every man, woman and child in the
city should take great pride in being
abel TO greet these heroes-men who
faced cannon fire, charged machine gun
| nests and advanced In the face Of poison
gas attacks that autocracy might be de-
feated.
We also should not Forget to send W
n PRAYER for those boys who now rest
beneath the soil Of France. Also for
the mothers n wives, who were will
ing to make every sacrifice for heir
co~untry--brave little women who sent
their loved mes away with a smile.
Let's give these boys such n welcome
as to leave no doubt but that their work
was appreciated by those who fate de-
creed should remain at home,

pasteboard box and the butter on a

time to tidy herself properly, looked
dusty and warm and untidy. She wore
a solled Bingham apron.
But this was not all. Estrelda her

she had put on that morning. To be

beneath the folds of the negligee she

casual eye she seemed much as she
had been when first she had arisen.
On her lap was some sort of dark
blue gauzy stuff, In her hand was a
hat shape and in her mouth some pins.
She looked up as the door opened to
admit her husband.
'Hello!' she said. And then, sneak

pumped down any which way in their
bedroom; unmade-uninviting.
For a moment poor Freddie could not
speak. Was 1t possible that the whole
day had gone by with her with no
more accomplished than this? He stood
speeches., the flowers dropping un-
needed In his hand. And:
What's that?' asked Estrelda. Fred
die remembered the roses with a perk.
Oh he said. II brought you these.

the dinner table. Butt doesn't mat

She took them from his hand and
took the paper from them. Then she
looked up at him.
Well" she said, you didn't blow
yourself much, did you?'
Don't you like them?' he. asked. II
thought they were lovely"
Suddenly she laughed. She did not
mean to hurt him; to be unkind. She
simply could not understand his gift.
Goodness, Freddie" she said.
Sometimes l think you're half baked.
The idea Of bringing home two roses!
And whatll ! do with 'em?"
What do-girls usually-do with
roses?' he asked, slowly. She flung
them down beside her.
Look here" she said, don't you

perfect hours!'

homecoming to the new apartment he
had taken with his new wife. His heart
beat high with hope. by tonight" he
said to himself, surely things. viii be-

very large apartment, ! guess Estrelda

their proper places today. Gee whiz!
I'm crazy to see how il will look"
II was no wonder poor Freddie was
anxious. The maid his mother had en-
gagged for them had arrived promptly
the first morning. However. thanks to
Estrelda's ability to keep her cooking
and serving late breakfasts and elab-
crate luncheons, the girl had had very
little time to help get the apartment
Strengthened out and running properly.
Estrelda herself was more a h~indrance
than a help. Thus far she had not
arisen before Freddie left in the morn
ing, but had lolled about until after
10, when, in her erumpled kimono, she
had consumed an hour or more over
a breakfast that, under the ciAcnm-
stances, had to be served to her on
the tops of packing cases and barrels.
Then she sat about, talking to
Sarah, the maid, asking her questions
and insisting that she stop work and
admire some new article that had Just
been delivered.
But, anyhow, the beds had come at
last. This Freddie knew, because he
had phoned persistently that day until
he had been assured that they had ac-
tually been left at his home. At least
he would not have to sleep on the
floor another night. And" he con-
