CHATTER LXLn.

CHAPTER LALli-
Before Virginia's dinner at the hoch-
ambeau was over had issued invitations
10 our postponed family dinner.
And all during the day OF my party
while I was deep in nervous yet hopeful
preparations for It, I remembered Jims
delight because leaned across the table
in the little card room issuing laughing
mandate to Betty and Terry;
You two are included because you're
our closest friends-Jim's war family.
So you'll break all engagements ana

They accepted and virginia cried With
real enthusiasm:
How Jolly OF you, Anne. and how
equally jolly OF you two TO cancel your
appointments for us
The first thing I had done to win Nir-
Rtnia's complete approval was to Invite

oven and cool a bit In anticipation Of its
gentle burial beneath peaches and cream.
Then came furry of final preparation
setting the table, dressing and superin-
tending Jim's tie and Meals hair.
After that came tbs delicate task OF
greeting the guests in a manner that
would seem unflurried and make Jim
proud of his wife and full of delicious
anticipations anent her party.
It started with fine promise when
Terry arrived and said in his rich. de-

Of stately yIrginias discussing mere
food. All through dinner I felt exuber-
antly uncertain that my party was n real
success. Even the percolator worked and
the cream poured out thick and rich.
The janitor's wife came up to do the
dishes for me-and after Phoebe and Neal
and had cleared the refectory table and
had returned to play lady as Neal put
it. some one suggested that we have a
go at poker. That "some one" was Jim.
He insisted on teaching me the game.
I detest all card games except bridge,
and was on the verge of insisting that
I'd prefer to stay out, when | caught
sudden glimpse OF Neal and Phoebe
happily ensconced on the big couch, quite
absorbed in each other. So I played
poker. Or I tried to.
The game ended abruptly an hour later
for suddenly Virginia discovered that
happy little group of two, and decided
that she wanted a chatty evening. She
sent Phoebe into the bedroom for her bag,
settled her score and then strolled over
to the couch and sat down in the middle
of it with a complete air of intending to
remain there.
From the moment of her first move to
end the poker game jim surprised me.

Must Mayor Resign
to GetLOng Vacation?

RICHMOND, Ind, July ia legal
technicality has arisen here with refer
ence to the city councils action In grant
ing a ninety-day vacation to Mayor W.
w. Zimmerman
The question arises as to whether
there will be d vacancy in the office of
mayor, during this period.
Under the state law provision is made
that in the event Of vacancy In the
office Of mayor, the city controller shall
assume that office, and he is fully en-
powered to act SIS mayor until a new
mayor is elected and assumes office, but
the controller is not permitted to con-
tinue to act as controller.
In the event that Mayor Zimmerman'S
ninety days leave of absence is not q
vacancy in his office, 1t would appear
that the controller has no authority to
serve as acting mayor in any capacity.

A. The prehistoric Lake Tahoe was
larger and deeper than the present lake,
During the Neocens epoch and earlier
part of the Pleistocene epoch, it's waters
stood much higher, but In its overflows
IL has cut through the lava dams that
maintained It at that height. Beaches
that mark the former higher level of the
lake are about 100 feet above the present
surface, and doubtless the water once
stood even higher.

MORALS ARE
IN PERIL.

Another consequence OF this excess
feminity, according to Dr.. Leslie. is the
effect 1t has on morals.
The modern woman, freed from re-
ligious scruples, and denied legal
spouse, is inclined to rebel against con-
vention and snatch what romance she can
from q stingy fate.
The fact that she Is usually self- sup
porting and thus not dependent for her
livelihood upon the approval Of father
or the possibility Of sharing a husband
makes her feel freer 10 take her life into
her own hands.
II Is interesting 70 note that the mod
ern woman is much more liberal, not 10
say radical. In regard to personal free
dom than the average man
An Illustration Of this occurred here
recently when a group Of representative
citizens were asked 10 give their opin-
lens upon a certain prominent short
story writer's double-menage form Of
matrimony.
The women, without exception. said
that they thought this writer's married
life was peculiarly her own AFFAIR and
not a matter for public discussion or
interference
The men, one and ell. were as agitated
as II they had discovered another red
plot.

Dr. Leslie. however, moIrnfully adj
mits that while the old idea of woman
cevoting herself to husband, home and
children Is still very dear 10 men, Il IS
little unreasonable TO expect women
&c live up to II without providing than
with a husband, home and children TO
be devoted to.

CHICAGO ILL.,, July 1.-THE i'm
migration problem is presenting a new
| aspect Of late, at least to American girls.
According to economic and sociological
students the European emigrants of this
generation will be young women seeking
refuge from spinsterhood In lands not so
| crowded with superduous females, rather
than, as in the past, young men seeking
greater advantage in newer countries.
Where should these young women pur-
sue the elusive male II not in America,
| the home of the perfect husband?
Another condition which is attracting
these enterprising females to our shores
is the scarcity OF domestics which is
making maids worth their weight in gold
] and Offering lucrative positions to occupy
the fair immigrants period Of coy though
watchful waiting to be captured.
This may seem an ideal arrangement
to the students of economics. but 1t ap-
pears to be causing vague STRINGS of
doubt in the minds Of many of our native
virgins.
Handicapped as they are already in
their hunt for mates by the high cost of
living, II seems little hard to them that
a lot of outside competition should be
encouraged to enter into the pursuit.
According to Or. r. Murray Leslie Of
London the results OF this preponderance
Of the more famous sex are much more
important and far reaching In their ef-
feet than we realize.
He says that the social unrest is
largely due 10 feminine discomfort, and
that rs long as a large percentage Of the
women are dissatisfied we may expect
rfr
He is particularly worried about the
situation In Great Britain. where there
are now over 100000 more women than
men
