THE FINAL PREPARATIONS
FOR THE PARTY.

Chapter XCN.
In spite of my almost sleeples!
night | was up early, There wa
an unaccustomed softness in Cliff

| small and humble. Several times
/ was on the point of again asking
him to forgive me, but somethina
| kept me quiet; a feeling that he
would not care to discuss the sub
| ject.
After he left for the office I went
| upstairs and looked over my ward
| robe. The burned dress lay on q
! chair, and | shuddered as | looked
at it. But for Clifford might have
been burned to death, | thought
and forgot entirely that | had
blamed him for setting me on fire,
| finally decided to wear sim
pie white crepe, which both Cliff
ford and Burns Mayson had ad-
mired when l wore it to the theater
in Chicago. That settled, hurried
downstairs to help with the final
arrangements for my party,
Little Edith was to go to Mu-
riePs. She had a thoroughly COM
petent maid who would look after
her and put her bed.
About nine o'clock the man came
to take up the rugs; then came the
florist. The entire morning was
taken up decorating the house and
placing the furniture.
After Il light luncheon Mandy
fairly pushed me into my room and

in a minute; that l had no time
for a nap. When | woke with a
start the clock was striking two,
and [ had slept soundly for an
hour. -.,I.
Rested and refreshed | jumped
up and ran downstairs. Every
thing was going along all right and
/ couldn't help flush OF pride and
pleasure as / looked around. IN
the kitchen all was going as
smoothly as could be, as it always
did when Mandy was superintend-
ing. Savory odors rose from the
sauces and other things on the
stove. | laughingly declared that

minute.
The setting Of the table was my
part of the afternoons work. And
as / arranged the dainty china and
glass, tied the broad pink ribbons
which We're to hold the favors--
Clifford had selected them-dainty
fans for the women and quaint
cigar cutters for the men, sang
happily. Someway the incident of
the night before had~kept me hap
by all day, In spite of what might
have been the horror of it. I felt
nearer Clifford, almost glad of the
danger because of the knowledge
that 1t had affected him. Would
he have turned pale had he ceased
to care for me?

that he would have paled had it

just that a human being was in |

At Pelletier's the ponies play
Unbrded round the yard all day,
And Shetland babies scarce knee high I

From time to time as if to say

Devouring orchard clover tops
And on the gallop comes to see
Just what this fearful grief can be. Z

Teaching a little boy to ride, o.. I
And in his eyes there's been a glow
Born Of the boy-gone long ago.

chanted to know that his troubles

lowed by a resolve to stop petty
worrying.
Meditation on ones state in life
should be productive of splendid
results. For most of us are not
quite happy with some, at least,
of the conditions under which we
live, and it is only by analyzing
these circumstances and planning
to ruut them that we will ever
change them. A woman should
first ask herself: Just what don't
| like" about a thing, and should
then put the question: Just how
can l overcome it?" 1t is aston
ishing what changes such thinking
can work in ones life.
whats the use of thinking about
it?" we often hear people say hope
lessly, referring to some condition
in their lives which they believe
unremova BILE. And every time |
hear this pessimistic sentence fall
from a woman's lips. | want to say:
"You little goose! Have you never
heard of such a thing as invention?
Inventors are men who find way
to do n thing which has seemed
impossible. well, you be an III
Ventor, invent way around the
things in your own life which seem
impossible!"
The fruits of meditation are well
worth gathering. The woman who
has never deliberately sat down 20
mediate cannot begin too soon to
do this. If she would test the re-
suits of the habit of meditation,
let her jot down in notebook, at
each period of meditation, the
things she has analysed and real
lied clearly and the changes she
has planned in her life--and then
open the little book year after
the date of meditation; in the ma
jority of cases the problems she
faced a year ago will have been
dropped, conquered, far, far back
on the road of Progress.

Guessing About Harding Cabinet,
| Editor Morning Journal
Eastern newspapers in apprais is
ing the probabilities of Hard.ng's
cabinet, should he be elected, give
the position of secretary of state
to Senator A. b. Fall of New Mex
leo; the secretary of the treasury
to Frank o, Lowden; war TO Gem
eral Wood, and commerce TO Her
bert Hoover.
While this would be an unusually
strong cabinet, it would also be a
most extraordinary compliment to
New Mexico, one of the very small
states. But considering the prom
lnenee of Senator Fall on the for
elgn relations committee and his
wide knowledge of Latin American
conditions, and the further fact
that American interests have in
vestments in Latin-American coun-
tries said to aggregate fifteen hun
dred million dollars, it can be seen
that there are powerful reasons
why the first place in the cabinet
should go to the senator from New
Mexico.
Also, it is understood that Sena-
tor Fall and a large percentage of
the republican leaders of this state
nave determined that if he is given
the secretaryship of state in the
Harding cabinet, and if a repub-
llcan governor is elected that w.
A. Hawkins, who has always main
tanned legal residence in Alamo
gordo, will be appointed to the SEN
atorship vacated by Senator Fall.
New Mexico has been particular
ly favored by the ability of the men
who have represented her in the
United States senate. Senators
Catron, Fall and Jones have rank
ed among the great lawyers, not
only of the southwest but of the
United States; and in the senate
each of them has been recognized
as a man of leading ability in mat
tiers of government.
Judge Hawkins is one of the very
best lawyers in all of the west. For
many years he has been attorney
Tor the PhelpsDodge railroad in
terests and has been the chief ad-
wiser of that company in it's min
ing interests, both in New Mexico
and In Arizona. He has also strong
ly influenced the policies of the
Chino Copper company, although
so far as known he has had no Of
ficial connection with that organi-
cation.
Hawkins in the United States
senate would have the same fanlil-
iarity with conditions in Mexico
that Senator Fall has and would
be just as useful to American in
vestors in that country.
There are strong reasons for be-
lieving that Harding, if elected,
will name FAN for secretary of
state, and there are powerful inter
ests, including Senator Fall, that
will seek to have Hawkins named
rs Falls successor in the United
States senate. OBSERVER.

FRANKLIN'S FEARLESS FIGHT.

When Theodore Roosevelt was assistant secretary
of the navy and war started he jumped quickly to
fight for the country, and because he fought was
made governor Of New York and went marching on.
Again when he could have had no personal ambition
to advance, another started and was the cross
OF his life that he denied the privilege by White
House politics, of going with his to fight for
America.

secretary of the navy and began the more siss-
fled Franklin Roosevelt cheerfuy continued to oc-
cupy an easy chair in the navy building in Wash

Editor Morning Journal:
You invite criticism of your sug-
gestions for the republican plat
form. as published on page five OF
the Journal this morning.
Well, Mr.. Editor, I, and I speak
for many friends, vehemently OBJ
ject to your direct primary sug-
gestion. Myself and my friends
thought you We're for q full-fledged
modern direct primary law, Why,
all you are for, or at least all this
suggestion of yours amounts to, is a
mere partial direct primary law,
applicable only to the nomination
of county and legislative candi-
dates! 1t seems you do not want
it to apply to the selection of can
didates for governor and other
state officers and members of the
corporation and tax commissions
and to the selection of candidates
for congress and for the United
States senate! You say that you
are not unsympathetic to extending
the system to state and federal Of
fees, whenever experience shows
it to be desirablel" Well, wouldn't
that jar you! And that coming
from Mr.. Magee, too.
No, Mr.. Editor, the friends of a
direct primary want a whole pri-
mary, not a piece of one, and they
will support nothing else-the re-
publicans among us will vote the
democratic ticket first, and don't
make any mistake about that. The
direct primary plank must be for a
full-fledged modern direct primary
law of the most progressive kind
and applicable to every elective
office, state and national, to get
our support. We want no compro-
mise on that. r. S. RODEY.
