desultory fashion to Ned Benning, one
of the men on the paper, and to Laurel
it was the most interesting thing in
the world to watch the reactions of these
| two.
Winona bullied Ned patronizingly
and their relationship was delightful
but not at all what Laurel had imagined
an engagement would be. There
was no sentiment. no quick meet
ing of eyes and sudden touching of
hands. Ned came up to dinner some
times and would help just like another

sit for long moments over their cof-

servative of cut and are the
type of suit that women
want for early wear, and
they may be sure they will
not tire of such suits as
these before the season is
over.
The suit that is sketched
is of navy or black wool
poplin, cut with a long, roll

with braid. The braid idea
is further carried out in the

CHAPTER III

CHAPTER Ill
7 AUREL STONE had come from
- small town in Ohio. There she had
worked OF one of the three newspapers,
the News, and from her earliest days
in newspaper work her one ambition had
been to come to New York. The Stones
lived in large shabby house off Main
street, Mr.. Stone dealt in wood and coal
and there had always been plenty of
money. Laurel had gone to a western
college for four years ard as her tather
said when she returned home, she had
been born with wings and college life
had enabled her to fly. He adored
Laurel and trusted her. When she
announced her intention of coming to
New York he made no comment, but
wheE she was ready to start gave her
check and his blessing. Mrs. Stone
felt aggrieved.
In a small way. Mrs. Stone was
very ambitious. There were only
three or four girls in Westbury who
had gone to college and Mrs. Stone
had made plans for her daughters re-
turn, series of affairs given for her,
small social triumph and perhaps a
marriage to George Stoddard. the son
of Westbury's banker. or Chris. Rollins,
who owned the Westbury electric light
plant. Laurel had no intention OF EN-
barking upon social career and when
she went on the News it almost broke
Mrs. Stones heart. 1t seemed that
whenever anything was planned 1or
Laurel the girl was always out on an
assignment.
"When you could have any ore in
town, Laurel" her mother would wall,
81 don't see how you can go about IN
those old clothes. For my sake you
might do things little bit my way.
"But mother. what's the use?
couldn't marry one of these small town
men and settle down in Westbury fol
the rest of my life. / want to live,
want to go to New York."
That was before she had any clear
idea of what she wanted to do II New
York and her announcement had almost
killed her mother. For year Laure
had worked on the News, and had beer @
fairly happy, then she had taken hel
father into her confidence and the dream
of her life was finally in her grasp

tBolsheviki's Peace Terms
 Flatly Rejected by Poles

LONDON, Aug. 31.-foland's re ply to the peace terms presented by the Russian Soviet delegation at Minsk amounts to a flat rejection says the Manchester Guardian s Minsk correspondent in a wireless dispatch filed last week.
 Out of the fifteen Russian de- mands," he continued, "only one, that relative to demobilization, is ac- cepted, and that only on condition that Russia will take a similar course.
 "The boundary lines between Rus sia and Poland as laid down by Earl Curzon is declared unaceep- table, as it involves third partition of Poland
 Demands for distribution of land to Polish victims of war and the re- turn of cattle and horses driven away by Polish land owners from White Ruthenia and Lithuania are rejected as interfering with the in ternal affairs of Poland and viola tion of the sovereignty of Poland"

 The Governor branded as "abso- lutely false,' Hays testimony that it was not the policy of the Republi can committee to obtain individual contributions in excess of $1000 and again referred to what purports to be an official document, alleged to have been issued two days after Sen. Warren c. Harding's nomina- tion as Republican candidate for President, by Frederick w. Upham, Republican National Treasurer. The document is said to show by its preface that subscriptions in excess of 5000 were being sought and that a minimum quota of $300,000 each was sought in cities such as St Louis, Cleveland and Detroit

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31-Great Britain has initiated diplomatic con- versations with the American Gov ernment as to the liability of the United States for expenditures neces- sitated by detention in American ports of the seven former German liners allocated to this country for the homeward movement of Ameri can troops. The ships were held up by the Federal Shipping Board after their surrender by the War Depart ment but were finally delivered to England
 While the ships were detained here, British crews sent to take them over were idle in New York. A question of demurrage charges is also said to be involved.
