Balloting began, ana the third
ballot a sweep for Hughes develop
ed into the finest and most remark
able nomination l have ever heard
or. for Mr.. Hughes never lifted a
nnger or authorized any one 10 work
for him. ] believed him TO be ex-
Acly the kind OF a man we needed
--levei-headed and just. with a fne
record, and that whatever situation
arose he would have met II wisely.
One who had attended several con-
ventions and had learned to look
for the strategy In every. little
situation which came up, saw in the
Vice President a clever coup. A
man with a most loyal following.
his preparation for further public
service was through. and his State.
Indiana, always pivitoI, was speci-
ally important that year from the
fact that II would elect two United
States Senators.
The convention avoided the rocks;
on the whole. though not dramatic,
IL was intelligent, constructive, and
patriotic.
Once the campaign had been
fairly launched. the next important
event proved to be the Hughes no.
tincation ceremony. for which a
friend offered us good seats in
Carnegie Hall. i had never heard
OF such an occasion and IL puzzled
me. until / learned that this was
quite an unusual event-in fact,
the first of its kind. Other would
be Presidents In the past had re-
ceived the committees notification
informally and made their speeches
OF acceptance in their own houses,
or on their front lawns or plazzss.
with only a comparatively few peo-
pie present AS the situation in
1915 was so complicated, with the
Progressives somewhat divided and
ex-President Roosevelt coming
out" for Hughes, my friend said
the justice wished this occasion to
be made an important event.
Just as we reached the hall,
great cheering began. ! looked at
the platform to see IL Mr.. Hughes
had arrived, but could not nnd him:
I glanced at the entrance, but he
was not there, either. Then saw
the cause of the excitement was
Mr.. Roosevelt, who had entered a
box in the balcony. Some of the
Progressives cried, 1--WE want
Teddy" and one shouted, why
isn't Theodore on the PLATFORM
A gentleman told me that he un-
derstood the Colonel had been in

several years.
One of the most brilliant ora

very popular during the seventeen

Congress. He has been a close
friend of the President, and for a
time it was rumored around the
Capitol that he was paying atten-

eldest daughter of the President.
However. he vowed to the writer
as late as November that he was
NOT ENGAGED to any one.
Before coming to Congress he
practiced law, and was elected
mayor of his home city.
One of the earnest workers in
Congress on the cotton question,
he wrote this:
Behold the cotton plant at the
fruiting time, with outstretched
limbs laden with squares-in every
tiny limb little square is BIOS
som, pure and white as the driven
snow. The breezes are calling it
to come forth to light and air, and
now, they announce its advent and

smiles with the dewdrop lingering
OH its lily crest, and the honeybee
humming to its heart. Solomon

CHAPTER XVII.


@YNTHIA PAIGE had learned
years ago that one way to
carry point was to talk so
steadily that the person whom she
would convince woald have no
chance to voice any objections.
So it was that she carried her
point tonight with her niece. With
what seemed to be an absolute GER
tainty of the girls agreement with
her ideas she dilated on all that
Barbara owed to her relatives and on
how much they both appreciated her
intention to marry according to
their wishes.
Not" the spinster added, That
We fancy for a moment that you
arc accepting John Brandon to
please us. That we would not al
low. But we do consider 1t provi-
Dental that you should have ac-
cepted the love of one whom we
shall be so glad to welcome into
the family.
II declare. dear, IL you had set
out with the determination OF
rccompeusing your uncle for all his
sacrifices for you you could not
have selected a more perfect
method"
Then she glanced at the watch
resting on her flat, virgin bosom.
MY, my! Nearly IL o'clock al
ready! How long we have been
talking, Well--never mind--the
evening has been n happy one FOR
us all. First your uncle and l had
our time of rejoicing together
downstairs. and then you and I had
our hes-t-to-heart talk up here.
But 60 20 bed now. Barbara. And
sleep swcetly with the thought OF .
tho joy that is coming to you and
that you are bringing to us"
As Cynthia reached the door or,
the room, an after-thought made
her pause.
"Oh, by the way"-strivipg to
speak without evident cmbarrnas-
ment-'you know your uncle is shy
about talking of intimate, personal
things. So ] would suggest that
YOU do not discuss with him tho
mattcr Of John Brandon just, yet.
He charged me especially TO tell
you OF his joy in the affair. You
know that is his way He talks
little when he feels most deeply"

Yes the girl said softly. II
knog- that is unclo's way"
so, unless he breaches the sub

For tho FIRST time during the en-
tire conversation the girl respond

ness
"Oh no, I would much rather not

Excellent Letter Ought
To Prove Very InspIrationuI.
DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER:
/ Because II seems evident TO me
, that no suggestion ! could orrer by
way OF earning money in the home
would be adaptable 10 any woman
or all women with an ambition or
need for such. and thus prove to be
a best idea" | am submitting the
attached written from the view
point that the average woman pos
sesses some marketable talent; in
other words, she fs able to do some
ono thing a triflc better than the
ordinary woman; III she will dis
cove" for herself just what that is,
tho chances are in her favor coward
securing market for that product.
Your articles continue interesting
and helpful. There are as many
'bcst ideas" as there are women
with the desire to earn money
within tho home because that which
may prove tho best idea" in Sc
curing the anticipated result for
one woman may be impossible for
her ncighbor due TO the fact that
talents. tastes, time, and facilities
will vary. II is. therefore. obvious
that the "best idea" must be adapt.
able to any or all women, the aver
age, normal woman, and cannot be
confined to "a single suggestion
which would prove suitable to but
few women.
However, il seems possible for
any woman to earn money in the
home If she win folloW the policy
Of aclf-analys's. BY a personal in
ventory sire should be able to deter
min" what it is she can do as well
or better than the average. No
one knows better than she what
che is capable OF doing, or what she
likes To do. Taking stock of her
own qualifications and interests will
enable her to decide for herself
what should eventually prove to be
her "bes. idea" Within her own
mind lies the answer.
An ability to perform some task
better than the average woman be-
longs to every normal woman; it
may be something quite ordinary.
perhaps something unusual; it may
be one of dozen various things.
The talent may be hidden insofar
as connecting il with an earning
power is concerned. but il is there,
waiting 10 be put on the market.
The women who have succeeded
In earning money within their
homes began by discovering what
It wGS they were able to do that
was marketable; usually it was
something quite simple and ordi-
nary.
A knowledge OF what others have
done may help a woman decide for
he- self what her best idea is
The Washington times., 1920-05-28

there were more overvhelm Inning
facts--such as the certainty that
her uncle's heart would be wound
ed were she to disappoint him now,
and that he and her aunt felt that
she had encouraged John Brandon.
and that he loved her.
1t was as If she had deliberately
walked into a net of her own max
ing How blind she had been-and
how silly! And all the while she
had just been having a good time!
with a gesture of despair she
