When a Girl Marries

Pat Dalton Has a Tete-a-Tete With

know"
Something in his voice made me
wonder if Virginia's hatred of Envy
was all on Jim's account. Had
Envy Mason any part in Virginia s
arrangement from Pat Dalton
had Pat Dalton any part in the
broken engagement that had taken
my Jim from Envy and saved him
for me?
Fat Dalton's voice cut across my
thoughts with the curt suddenness
of a whiplash:
Mrs. Jimmie. I'm no altruist-I
didn't bring you here just to, tell
you about Envy"
A Question About jim.
It can guess that" I replied,
smiling. with a sudden feeling of
liking for this man who was twist
ing and warping the thread of mis-
life so niserably that even 1 could
see some of the knots and breaks.
\ want to know if Jim feels
friendly enough TO see ne now and
then. I've always kept up wIth
him. I'd like to see bit of him."
I've never heard Jim say a word
against you, Mr.. Dalton. But do
you think, in loyalty-to Virginia,
he could be-friends with you?'
At last the forbidden word had
been spoken. Virginia's name lay
between us like challenge. Pat
Dalton took his nervous fingers
from the stem of his glass and laid
them fiat on the table before him.
east lids staring at them. Then he
eyes roved everywhere but toward
my face.
Virginia" he said, Mrs. Jim
mie, what does she say about me?'
1 gasped- 1 wanted to soften the
truth. But there was no way.
She has never spoken of you to
me- I replied.
Jeanne never mentions me?
Jeanie-wel, 1 might have known
that she wouldn't. Have an ice,
Mrs. Jimmie Really not? All right
then-check. please"
And my tea with Pat Dalton was
over.
Gravely at the door he put me
into a taxicab, and stood with gray
head uncovered until we had rolled
far down the street, and I couldn't
make out his figure any longer
through the little window at the
back of the cab.
With an air Of finally he went out
of my life But I know that I've
not done with Pat Dalton. And I
wonder IL Virginia is finished with
him?

The Inventor of Spectacles

All European references to the
use of spectacles before the year
1870 are dubious. Pliny's descrip-
tion OF Nero looking at the gladia-
torial combats through an emerald
means at best only a lorgnette, or
most probably a rejecting mirror.
Roger Bacon seems to have known
of magnifying lenses-I276-whiC
soon became common enough, but
the probable inventor of spectacles
as such was a Florentine worthy on
whose tombstone in the Church Of
Santa Croce is the inscription:
Here lies Salvino d'Armato degli
Armati of Florence, the inventor Of
spectacles. Ammo Domini 1917"

HITCHCOCK ISSUES STRONG
STATEMENT THRU LEAGUE
TO ENFORCE PEACE.
IS IN COLD STORAGE
SAYS RATIFICATION WILL BRING
ABOUT REDUCTION IN COST
OF LIVING.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
(By EDWARD 3. CIARk.)

Washington. u. c., Aug. Ex-senator
Hitchcock, leader of the supporters of
the treaty with Germany in the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations,
has issued the following statement
thru the League 10 Enforce Peace:
The treaty ratification situation
changed somewhat during the past
week. \ new issue was raised when
l asked the chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee and majority
members when they proposed TO get
action.
Il took this course after consulting
with number of senators. There
has been Il growing demand for action
by the committee. 1t has had the
treaty since July 10. For five weeks,
therefore, the treaty has been in cold
storage without vote or any other
action.
The Senate is waiting, and the
country is waiting, and the impatience
is increasing. Everyone knows that the
enemies of the treaty and opponents
of the League of Nations control the
they do not control the Senate. Pub
lie sentiment resents the suggestion
that the opponents of the treaty might
keep ii locked up in the committee,
and this greatly delays ratification.
When | raised the issue in the com
mittee, il became manifest that sew
eral Republican members We're op-
posed 10 further delay and SO an un-
derstanding was reached for voting.
Since then several days of additional
delay have interviewed. but we hope 10
begin voting in committee this week on
proposed amendments. We ought TO
get the treaty reported back to the
Senate in a week or ten days.
1t is of little Importance what the
committee does as long as it does
something, If il recommends amend
ments, the Senate will reject them. II
1t mutilates the treaty, the Senate will
cure the damage done. The chief harm
that the committee can do is in caus-
ing delay.
Everyone now realizes that we are
still suffering from war. and that the
flrst step toward relief is to ratify the
peace treaty. The Presidents address
served 10 arouse the country TO the
importance of treaty ratification as
one of the steps necessary to reduce
the cost Of living.
He has very properly connected the
high cost of living with the war He
has shown that we cannot get rid of
war conditions and war evils until
peace comes, with its normal condi-
tionS.
He has shown that the first step
that must be taken is the ratification
OF the treaty. In pointing this out and
in taking the leadership in a movement
10 reduce the cost of living. the Pres
ident has brought the treaty much
nearer TO a vote

COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE
Hostess Saw Reason for Thankfulness
in View Set Forth by Her
Young Visitor.

Out on the east side the other aft
ernoon group of women were having
porch party. Now, all except one
were married. and the married ones
constantly talked to the one young
spinster on the subject of getting mar
ried. They even went SO far as to
suggest some candidates for her hand.
And of one the young woman said. "Oh,
he wouldn't do. He's been married,
end I've not yet reached that stage
where / have 10 take a widower"
Absolute silence followed that re-
mark. With a wild start the girl real
lied that three of the women present,
Including the hostess, were second
wives. She was just beginning to reach
the most painful stage of embarrass-
ment. when the hostess laughed easily,
and tried TO utter remark that would
put everybody at ease Thank good
ness you haven't" she said. "Other.
wise you might be in my shoes ami ]
in yours."-IndianapolI News.
