CHAPTER ".

I have failed Jim This sentence keeps ringing over and over in my head: "I have failed Jim.''
 There is no excuse for me.
 Four days ago I married the man I love better than any other being on earth, and tonight-tonight, by behaving like an awkward school girl with stupid prejudices and un- gracious manners-I. have shamed him before his friends.
 Can I find any excuse for my self?
 When we came through the terrac- ed courtyard of Tower-by-th -the-Sea to the great oval room crowded with tier upon tier and rang upon ring of laughing, shouting human beings | felt as if all the three-ringed cir cuses in the world had been con- gregrated in one space and were competing against each other to make more noise than any human being ever before had heard. It fairly deaf ened me and made me dizzy.
 Have you never been here ?" Jim seemed amused by my shrinking and the way I clung to his arm. I felt as if Twas accused of some horrid crime and misdemeanor- prim and unpopular, undesirable Well, you see," hesitated, "I've only lived in New York three years and the Haldane's Magazine crowo doesn't exactly fit in with these
 interior decorators.'' Jim gave my arm a quick squeeze and laughed:
 They are interior decorators,' Thei, materials are champagne and guinea hen and strawberries out of season You have a way of sizing people up little Princess" 70 Just at first we couldn't find Bett, Bryce's table. My heart beat fast perhaps we would not be able to To- cate her in that great hurIy-burIy But Jim turned to a waiter who le, us to our party. That waiter seem ed either very mucl Impressed O. very much amused because we wer ! friends of Mrs. Bryce. l Tommy and Jack couldn't wait 1 they had a party on ovef at Marcers | and Of course they wanted me f,
 come-but I wouldn't desert YOU tw 1 precious children.'

seWait minute-I want to ask you something. Tell me about Mrs. Byrce.'
 She's a beautiful and charming woman I met in France-but, child alive, awe haven't time to go into that now! Why didn't you ask be- fore ?"
 Why hadn't I asked him before Because I had seized our beautiful happy hour alone as if we were never to know another like it. l had been unwilling that even a word of Betty Bryce should intrude. And now I must go back to her aching with longing to learn what she had been to my husband for I know Jim-know that no wo- man who was "just any woman could arouse and hold this, interest in my Jim.

there was no note of tenderness in his voice..
 I waited until the lights were out. then I asked Jim a question::
 Was I an awful failure, Jim mie?''
 Well, dear, I think you must learn to be more gracious to my friends. Betty Bryce is a very wonderful woIn- an-or she might have taken offense at your coolness: She is one of the best friends I aver had"
 And now she'll hate me, I sup pose ?'' "
 "Oh, no-she's too big and splen- did for that. Don't worry about it. Goodnight, dear"
 There was no goodnight kiss. Long after the regular breathing from the little four poster next. to mine told me that Jim was asleep, I lap stifling my sobs m my pillow.
 Has Jim married the wrong sort of woman? Am I going to be a handf- cap to him? Is he sorry sorry, he didn't choose a queenly person like Betty Bryce, instead Sof his poor, awkward frightened little Princess Anne? -=>- I lay ,wide-eyed and lonely in the darkness. wondering what daylight {! would bring.
 CHAPTER v
 Sunlight flooded our little chintz- hung room. It wavered across my drowsy eyes and woke me. On no other morning of our honeymoon had 1T awakened to such a golden glow. I smiled dreami1y to myself and thought that this day promised to make up for the gloom of last night. I lay for while between sleep and waking F,ina f, my eyes and to call tenderly::-s -s- | Jim e-i5 sHE--- 1-$. 1-s<+ =.
 I thought the love note in my voice
 might make him forgive me for the night before. There was no answer.
 "Jim-Jimmie dear-what time is
 it?"
 Silence.
 ''I sat up and looked reproaehful1y over at Jims little four-poster-its Icovers were tossed back. It was
 empty.
 My heapt gave a quick, suffocating leap, and then I arose and pattered slipperless over to the little white-til- ed bath It was empty.
 The world seemed empty also. The fifth day of our life together and my husband had oegun the morning without a word to me. He hadn't even run the water for my bath! Had Jim hurried out without wait ing for me to waken because he Wal angry with me for what had happen l ed the night before! Or had he gone y out with quiet tenderness, leaving me ito sleep so late because he guessed s iithat I had lain awake weeping until r dawn? Or-had he gone to her-tc t Betty Bryce?

WOMEN SHOULD TAKE WARNING

If the statement made at a New York Assembly of women, that healthy American women are so rare that they are almost extinct, is true, it is time for the women of America to take warning and look to their health.

vALP0 UNIVERSITY
THREATENS War ON
STATE INSPECTOR

valparaiso university may be inject.
ed into the political campaign this fall,
according to a letter o. H. Williams,
state supervisor of teacher training
courses, has received from Henry Kin
sey Brown. head Of the institution.
Mr.. Williams recently completed
report on the Institution and had II
ready for submission to the state
teacher training board. which pre-
scribes courses that accredited teach
er training institutions shall follow.
Mr.. Brown became acquainted with
the contents of the report, in part.
at least, and wrote letter to Mr..
Williams in which he severely criti-
cised the state inspector.
Position Of Brown.
Mr.. Brown pointed out that Valpa'
raise university has within the state
of Indiana more than 10000 former
students" and in conclusion wrote in
his letter to Mr.. Williams:
II am going to hold you personally
responsible for the submitting Of your
report to the state board together with
any action the board may take; and
If this report is submitted and we are
removed from the list of accredited
institutions Of the state Of Indiana,
then promise you that will inject
Valparaiso university into the politica!
campaign this fall and I pledge you
that l will use every bit of strength
have and every dollar possess In
waging an educational war that will
shake the old state from one end to
the other.
"You may temporarily embarrass
Valparaiso university because OF the
position you now occupy. but If you do
it, 1t will ruin you politically and ed
-ucationally for all time to come.
II am sending copy Of this letter
to Warren McCray, to Governor Good
rich. to Superintendent Hines and to
Will Hays"
Reply to Criticism.
Mr.. Williams replied to the criu.
cism with a severity somewhat similar
to that Of Browns letter. and in con-
clusion wrote:
my report will go to the board and
will embody the recommendation pre-
cisely as written. II you choose to
make a political issue Of my action.

for the people of Indiana to decide

The Isle of Doqs.

The Isle of Dogs, facing Greenwich
hospital. as flat bit of land as one
could well wish to see. is to be made
to blossom again, if not as the rose
at any rate as much as it lies within
the power of garden city to make it.
In the days when Greenwich was the
royal residence, the kings of England
ferried across to the north shore to
visit their farms, or, as with Henry
VIII. the kennels in which his hounds
were kept. Since then the face of the
land has been covered with wharves
and warehouses, while the West India
docks have severed it from Poplar
and mainland. The new garden city
is to cover nine acres by the old Mill
wall football ground. The houses and
flats will have gardens of their own.
the roads are to he lined with trees,
and the number of modern appliances
