as Corrie stood before his mirror
employing a pair of military brushes
upon his unruly blond hair. l.
Il did not know that the affair
that matters were SO far arranged
between you and your cousin" he
said.
He spoke with hesitation. uncertain
OF how to venture upon a subject
never before preached between them,
yet feeling ,speech tacitly invited.
In the stress Of his own suffering at
the time following the accident, pre-
occupied by the witnessing Of Corrie,s
hard punishment of sdishonor and
grief and his struggle to fall no lower
under 1t. he had forgotten that the
boy-man also had to bear the loss of
the girl upon whom he had spent his
first love. For it required no deep
insight to recognize that Isabel Rose
was not the type Of woman who is a
refuge in time of disaster.
But the embarrassment was his
alone; Corrie answered without con-
fusion:
I'VE were engaged, yes. But that
is ended. She had no need to write.
She might, have known, or, have
taken it for granted"
Gerard studied the view presented
OF his companion, striving to draw
some conclusion from pose or tone.
He had no mind to have his work of
months marred and his driver dis
tracted by an interlude of usel ass
sentimentality:' the temptation to
congratulate Corrie upon his free
dom from an unsuitable : marriage
was almost too strong. But what he
actually said vas quite different, and
escaped from his lips without CON
sideratton Of it's effect.

On the third day of practice, when
Corrfe brought the a back to the

THEORY AND

A more or less eminent eastern
professor of economies has it figured
out that the average family Of five
persons needs an income of $2.244
year in order to be able to live de-
Gently. He supplies a number OF
items which, when totalled, aggregate
that sum. And the items look all
right. too. A number Of other econ
omists have made similar investisa-
tions, and nave presented the var
ious items on which their conclu
sions are based. In most of these
cases little fault is to be found with
the items. But it is an interesting
fact that the experts do not r
either in items or in totals. How IS
one to decide among them?
There is another interesting fact
We. have seen some scores Of esti-
mates on this subject, with the totals
ranging usually between $4,000 n
$4,000 a year. with occasionally one
much higher, and n somewhat
lower. But, in some mysterious way
the fellows who are actually doing
the job, who do not profess to be
experts in economics, or anything OF
that sort, but just plain working
people, seem to be able to do o
effective figuring than the experts
themselves.
1t may be that if one were to ex-
hibit to the committee of experts a
family which is not merely existing,
but living, comfortably, and happily,
and shall we say decently on, say,
$500 a year, his exhibit would be
dismissed contemptuously' with the
comment, there amt no SIGH ami
mall" Nevertheless, such families
not only exist, but are fairly COM
mon. Is it possible that the experts
have something to learn yet? Or
Is that beyond the bounds of posi-
bility?

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS.

A statement, just made by MI. Nc
Adoo, former secretary Of b treas
ury, declining to permit his name to
be placed on the presidential primary
ballots in the several states having
primary elections az a candidate for
the Democratic. presidential nomina-
ton brings up the subject rs old as
the presidency itseh, but which Is al
ways new as every presidential cleo
ton approaches. Mr.. McAdoo de-
clareS that he is not q candidate for.
the ONCE, and does not wish to do
anything to create the appearances Of
a candidacy. At the same time he
thinks that the obligations Of citizen
ship are such that he regards it as
the imperative duty of any man to
accept a nomination If it should
come to men who have not been ac-
tive and avowed candidates for any
considerable time before the actual
nomination was made, but a. a rule
there has been at least some tenta-
tive effort, either on the part of the
individual himself, or on the part of
his friends, to secure favorable con-
sideration Of him by the nominating
convention. The attitude stated by
Mr.. McAdoo is undoubtedly the ideal
one, namely, that Of a desire to serve
hts party and his country, Of unwill-
ingness to present personal claims,
and of willingness to accept such
responsibilities as the judgment OF
his fellows may place upon him.
The difficulty is in maintaining that
attitude without the probability of
misinterpretation. {
The mar who in some
such form as Mr.. McAdoo has done.
that he considered it his duty Ito be
guided by Nthe opinions of his COL
leagues is quite certain to be regard
ed by very nan people as an active,
il secret candidate, and he is quite
likely, to be suspected Of employing
gum shoe methods Of the most repre-
hensdble sort to accomplish purposes
which he is afraid to avow frankly.
Such an estimate is quite likely to be
unjust, but it is an estimate which
Is bound to be placed upon the in
dividual nevertheless.
1t is very seldom that man says
fatty that under no circumstances
will he accept a nomination should
ono be rendered him. There are two
excellent reasons for this. both quite
consistent with the perfect sincerity
and disinterestedness OF the indiyid-
ual. First he may really prefer not
to receive q nomination, MOTTO be 4
candidate, but he may feel that even
with this desire he ought not to place
his own personal preference in the
