CHAPTER XIX.

Copyright 1920, Star Co.
@YNTHIA PAIGE acceded to her
niece's request that she say
nothing to anyone except
Arthur about the date set for the
wedding.
Cynthia could afford to humor
Barbara in her desire for few
weeks OF secrecy in this matter.
She supposed that IL was natural
that the girl should wish to keep
her own counsel until she became
familiar with the idea of her mar
riage.
1t was only July now. 1t would
be quite possible to begin work
on the new underwear. etc. for
the trousseau Other preparations
could wait for a month or so.
The Summer days were fraught
with social excitement for the new
ly-engaged girl Picnic followed
picnic. lawn party succeeded lawn
party.

rejoined. Don't your"
Then. as her nance did not reply
at once, she repeated her question.
Don't you like them, John?"
John Brandon was a truthful
man. To himself he was, forced to
confess that he was tired OF the un-
ending round of gayeties to which
he was accustomed. Such being
the case, he must answer Barbara's
direct query as honestly as was
compatible with kindness.
Dear girl. l like to go anywhere
with YOU" he said.
But Barbara was not to be put
off with an evasion.
Answer me truthfully, John. DO
you like dances, lawn parties and
picnics-and things like that?"

She said the words musingly. as

Barbara, dear" her lover pro-
tested, won't you believe that II
makes me happy to go anyw here
with you? For II does.
THAT may be, too" she replied.
But you would be much happier
sitting here on the veranda at nome
with me, talking and smoking"
There was challenge in her
tone. but he did not answer IL. He
was at loss what to say, for he
knew that his companion had but
expressed his innermost thoughts.
still. since he wanted to make her
happy, he must attend functions in
which she found amusement.
"You cannot deny my statement"
she accused.
The pair were standing in the
Paige drawing-room now. He had
been on the verge OF leaving when
he asked her the question that
started the discussion.
He tried now to reply tactfully,
why should I deny anything you
saw" he smiled. "Since you in

of ways, with the one exception of
the accordion pattern, the latter
being considered passe. A new note
has been introduced in the pocket
placement, which finds it's latest
vogue in the designs which have
pockets over the hips. Belts are
arranged in some very original
ways and leather on other materials
not used in the skirt proper is en-
ployed. Plaids appear to have a
leading place in the demand.

himself rather gloomily in the mir

mustache darkening his short up

young man considerably.

I'm henchman to one" And he
twisted the pale green turban
around his helmet and sent for
taxicab.
The streets around the garden
were jammed. Mounted and foot
police labored to keep back the
curious crowds and to direct the
crush of arriving vehicles laden
with fantastic figures in silks and
jewels. Arcades, portico and the
broad lobby leading to the amphi-
theater were thronged with ami
costumes; and Cleland received his
cab call number from the uniformed
starter and Joined the glittering
stream which carried him resist
lessly with II through the gates and
presently landed him somewhere in
a seat, set amid a solidly packed
tier of gaily costumed people.
An immense sound OF chatter and
laughter filled the vast place,
scarcely subdued by the magic of a
huge massed orchestra.
Mount Olympus Inflated.
The garden had been set to repre-
sent Mount Olympus; white pigeons
were flying everywhere amid fow-

painted like a blue horizon full OF
rosy clouds, and the two entrances

Aegean mist across the dancing
floor. for already boy trumpeters,
in white tunics and crowned with
roses, were sounding the flouish
and were dragging back the iris
hued hangings at either entrance.
The opening pageant had begun.
From the right entrance came the
Greek gods and heroes-Zeus aloft
in a chariot, shaking his brazen
thunderbolts; Athene in helmet and

was a general in the Union army

SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.- When the Democratic national con- vention assembled at II 80 this morning for the nomination of can didates for the presidency, the dom- mating feature was the receipt of word from the East forbidding the formal presentation of McAdoo's name, whereupon announcement was made that the Jenkins program would be held in abeyance. Plans respecting the other candidates, how ever, are unchanged, and the pros poets are that the delegates will re- main in session continuously until the numerous nominating speeches are out of the way, in order that the balloting may start at an early hour tomorrow.

ADVANCE AGENT 0F ARMY FLYERS
 GOING ID NOME

Enroute through Alaska to inspect the various landing fields which will be used by the army planes in the pioneer flight from New York to Nome. scheduled to leave Mineola field this month, Captain Douglas IS a passenger on the steamer Alaska, enroute from Dawson to Nome.
 Captain Douglas went to Far banks yesterday to look over the landing place in the upper town, and reports that, with very little addl- tional work, it will make an ideal field for the planes, being easily the best he has seen thus far in the Territory.
 Four deHaviland planes are sched- uled to start from Mineola field on July 15, each carrying two men, and they should reach Fairbanks in from five to ten days. They will fly direct to Fargo, then into Canada to Hazelton, thence to Wrangell, back across the line to Whitehorse, thence down the Yukon to Dawson, from which point they will fly direct to Fairbanks, without stopping at Eagle as originally planned. From Fairbanks the planes will go to Ruby and thence to Nome, following the same course on the return flight. They will not stop at Panama.
 Fairbanks, Captain Douglas says, will be the chief repair station in Alaska, and it is probable that the machines will be there day or more. Extra motors and repair parts are now enroute to Fairbanks on the Government steamer Jacobs, which is at Dawson loading.
 The planes are equipped with 400 horsepower Liberty motors.
