Revelations
Ofa Wife
How Madge Met Mrs. Smith and VIII,
She Accepted the Leadership of
The History Course.
BY ADELE GARRISON


AS I entered the door of the tea
room [ heaved a sigh of relief. The
place was deserted save for a smiling
young woman, evidently the manager
who came forward to meet me. I was
very glad that Mrs. Smith had not
| yet arrived, for l hate to be the last
conner at any appointment.
Have you any preference as to
tabies?"
The soft, gentle voice of the man
ager or waitress, whichever she might
| be, matched her appearance. Slight,
sweetfaced, with waving brown hair
banded quietly about her head, she
was very attractive.
II think 1 should like this one near
the window and facing the door," l re-
piled. Il do not, wish to order yet,
however, and have a business appoint
ment here with a woman whom l have
never seen. When she arrive, I will
order"
VERY WELL" She handed me a
menu card and went unobtrusively
back to a corner where she busted
herself with some writing.
l barely had time to look at the
immense fireplace with its red CHM
ney breast and it's old andirons, which
nearly filled one end of the room,
and was evidently the pride of the
establishment, before 1 saw a woman
enter the door and look around as if
in search of some one.
The waitress hurried forward to
meet her, but she waved her aside.
and came toward the table where I
was seated.
Pardon me, are you Mrs. Graham?"
she asked suavely.
Il am" I returned, rising to greet
her. "and you are Mrs. Smith, are
you not?"
Yes, 1 do hope I haven't kept you
waiting?"
mo indeed. I arrived less than
five minutes ago."
Il am SO glad. Suppose we order
now and get it off our minds. Then
we can discuss our business at our
leisure"
That will be. very nice, I tried
10 make my tone as fatty convention
al as was her own. She was a little
too transparent, thought, in her en-
deaVor to be conventionally courte-
| Gus against her inclination. I saw
that she had not yet forgiven me for
declining to break an engagement
with Dicky in order to meet her after
. she had cancelled our original ap-
pointment on a most trivial pretext.
The Luncheon Order.
She picked up the menu card, and
opening a beautiful jewelled lorgnette
scanned the items through it. l had
to admit that self was a stunning
wonan, tall, stately, grayhaired, with
eyes and complexion that many girl
might envy. She was exquisitely
dressed, too, quietly, in street cos
tune, but every detail of her gown
ing spelled not only wealth but re-
finement.-
Let me see, this is Wednesday,"
she said. turning to the back of the
card where list of specialties served
on different days was given. This
is the day on which they serve fish
in shells. Their devflled crab meat is
delicious. Would you like to try it?"
Her manner said in effect: Il am
going to order crab meat. If you do
not wish any, it shows your ignor-
ance." l do not suppose she meant
to be rude or to neglect consulting
my preferences as TO the menu. But

Press Comment
Some Census Figures.

Some Census Figures.
( The preliminary announcement on
Agriculture sent out by the Census
Bureau, for Liberty county, west
Florida, makes rather bad showing
for the county. and possibly is an IN
dication of what may be looked ZOE
in the returns from other counties III
this portion of the state.
In 1910 in Liberty county there were
298 farms; operated by white farmers,
PIG; by colored, 81. The census OF
1920 shows but 227 farms, a decrease
of nearly "a per cent. The white
farmers in 1920 were 1914, decrease OF
10 per cent; the colored 80, decrease
of about SO per cent.
The land in farms in 1910 was 3d.
156 acres; in 1920, 1861 acres, a loss
of about AZ per cent. The improved
acres show a gain of a little over 3
per cent, and the valuation shows an
increase from $447,0S7 in 1910 to ST.
2S4, $40 in 1920, of 1877 per cent.
This evidences a large loss In
farms and farmers, but also shows
that those who staid by the farm, in :
creased the value thereof, and have
done well at farming in West Florida
Another notable item is .the negroes
leaving the farms. Sixty per cent
loss in ten years is indicative of the
extent to which the negroes have
abandoned the work that they have
always done here in the South.-St.
Andrews News.

One Way to Get Even.

Members of the Jackson London Club
aroused a laugh because they go up
and walked out of a movie theatre
where a trained animal show was re-
produced on the screen. But the
people WHO laughed were foolishly
ignorant. SThey should know that if
an entire audience should get up and
go out of a movie picture house where
distasteful films are shown, the pro-
prietor of that picture house would
use better judgment next time in the
selection of the scenes he shows-Mi-
ami Metropolis.

okaIoosa's Fine Roads.
After driving over some hundred
miles of the splendid roads in Okla
loosa county, one comes back to San
ia Rosa, a more ardent good roads
booster than ever. 1t is not alto
gether a matter of cost in the max
ing of good roads, but largely mat
ter of know how. And in this con-
nection we believe it would be a good
investment for Santa Rosa county to
send some of her road superinten-
dents to Okaloosa county to study the
roads there so that this county might
profit by the experience of our neigh
Dor in the matter of road construc-
tion.-Milton Gazette.

that the Mayes and Crawford fami-

THOUGHTS FOR TO-DAY.

The little cars that fretted me,
/ lost them yesterday
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play:
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.
The foolish fears of what might hap
pen,
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass
Among the new-mown hay:
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy peoples nod.
Where i'll thoughts die and good are
born
Out in the fields with God.
