Mildred held her baby closely
She felt that she could never let

all her own. All she had, she
thought, as Clifford's face came
before her. But as the tiny fingers
closed over hers she felt she had
something to live for, after all:
and determined to do all she could
to get well quickly for her baby's
sake. But she shivered as she
thought of the baby's father; and
spasm Of pain crossed her face.
"Time's up, Missy Mildred!

AMERICANIsM ABOVE PARTIsANSHIP.

The repudiation of President wilson's leadership
by the Georgia democratic convention is unusually
significant In a three cornered primary election
contest Attorney General Palmer representing the
administration, obtained scant plurality of county
units Under the rule as interpreted by the state
executive committee, this entitled Palmer to the
state delegation to the national convention at San
Francisco But in the popular party vote as well as
in the state convention there was an overwhe lining
majority against the administration.
Principle rose above party harmony in the CON
sderation of the bunk of the delegates as it had
done at the primary polls. Georgia democrats,
among the most loyal partisans in the solid south
are through" with Wilson and all his works. They
refused an Endorsement of his administration sre-
jected his league OF nations scheme and declared
against third term, besides declining to select as
delegates men favorable the nomination of the
Wilson worshipper, Palmer.
The Georgia democrats have denounced the Will
son administration and the Wilson policies as UNI
worthy They want to sweep the boards of every
thing savoring of wisconsin. Their delegation al
San Francisco will be an influential body. Their
action, both at the polls and in convention is notice
that the league of nations advocated by the pres
ident without reservations is not acceptable even
in democratic stronghods

Americans commonly make one of two mistakes
ip Judging Mexico The first is the assumption that

Mexicans are ignorant and semiciyilized The truth
Hes in both errors rather than between the two for
there are two Mexicos the suave, cultured, aristo-

trouble with Mexico is that it lacks the support Of

ANSWERED LETTERS.

Alma CA wedding is to take
place in my home very soon and !
would like you to help me plan the
decorations and the menu for the
breakfast
Answer. .-LilaCs are popular for
wedding decorations at this time
of year, not only because of their
fragrance and beauty, but because
of their bulk, which enables the
decorator to make considerable
showing with few branches. An
other advantage in choosing lilaca
In that the hlOssOming sprays may
easily be formed into an arch or
canopy under which the bridal
couple may stand during the core
muny.
If were YOU would follow this
plan, placing the arch COR hanging
the canopy at the farthest ehd OF
your largest room and, if you can
afford it, making an aisle up the
center of the room to the arch cor
canopy) by banking the lilacs in
two solid rows three feet apart.
otherwise, stack the branches IN
corners, near dOorWayS, around
mantlepieCes and in other ellec-
tive places.
The flowers used on the table at
the wedding breakfast, however,
should be smaller than lilacs. Lilies
of the Valley or violets would be
suitable, or any of the delicate
wild flowers that are available.
There should he low vase in the
center of the table containing these
flowers and small punches Of them

is suitable:
