This was the life, then, that she had read about and envied, con- sidered Naneen thoughtfulIy, as she looked around the room at the girls, lounging indoiently on chairs and di- vans, puffing at cigarettes.
 It was quite early the next morning when, in chic serge suit and stout brown walking boots, Naneen aVailed herself of her hostess suggestion to get up and look over the farm a bit if she did not like to sleep late. She found her pleasant employer and his good-looking son at breakfast. Both men rose quickly, greeting her cor dially, and she experienced her first real pleasure at the much anticipated house party while she. sat at the table with them. She announced her inten- tion of taking a brisk walk, whereup- on the younger Munsen asked to ac- company her. While he was gone upstairs to get into a pair of high boots, her old employer aimed broad side at her.

 The aext evening 1t was a very en- thuslastie young man who ran up the steps of the exclusive bachelor club of Detroit to tender his resignation. And it was with new and hrmer grip he sxtened his hand in response to that of his best chum, Willard Lawrence. when that honorary member wished him the best in the world.

 Once again he crushed her to him. 1t seemed as if he were kissing each one of her silky brown curls. Then espying some one just entering the Italian portola at the other end of the garden, he suddenly released his new Iy acquired possession and he and MyTa hastened toward the portola.

These factors, though they seri- ousty handicap building operations can scarcely be of more than tenn porary nature. The problems of wage adjustments and freight conges- ton may be solved very speedily. Ths difficulty of financing building pro- jects while it is great, is not insur- mountable. The public has already begun to see that declines in com modity prices can only be slow, a., best, and it will soon realize that, in face of the enormous demand for construction of all kinds and the prospect of increased freight rates building materials are likely to re- main high longer than any othe. group of commodities.
 The outstanding factor in the building situation, which overshadow all the difficulties and disturbing ele- ments, is the accumulated demand for buildings. During the first five months of 1920, the F'. W. Dodge Co reported contemplated and projected work amounting to two-and-one-han billion dollars, as against contract awards amounting to one-haf that sum.
 In the face of the enormous con- struction job this country has on its hands it is not going to pack up its tools and quit, but it will rather solve the difficulties one by one, and

 New England.
 Building contracts awarded in May in the New England states amounted to $3S, ,271,0 900, an increase of 33 per cent. over the figure for April, al though slightly less than the figure for March.
 In detail the May figures show the following items: SIS, 5000, or s per cent, for residential buildings; $11, ,9oS, 900, or 31 per cent, for in- dustrial buildings; s7,322,000, or Is per cent, for business buildings.
 Contemplated projects amounting to- $46, ,3S6,00o were reported in May, bringing the total of contemplated work reported from January i to June 1 up to $291, ,s44,00O, includingi s72,479,000 for industrial buildings; $60,693,0O0 for residential buildings and $50,9sS,oo0 for business build ings.

MAY BUILDING
 SHOWS DECLINE IN CONSTRUCTION

Building operations in the month of May showed a. decline of 19 per cent from the operations of the previous month, according to statisN tics compiled by the F. w. Dodge Co., According to this company s figures, contracts awarded during May in the territory east of the Mis- souri and north of the Ohio Rivers amounted to $247,1s6,O0O, compared with over s3o0,O00.OOO for the months of March and April.
 This slackening of activity can scarcely be more than temporary. Its principal causes are four: Disputes over adjustments in the wage scale, principally in Chicago and the Cen traI West; freight congestion, which is felt principally in the East; the in creasing difficulty of financing build ing operations, and the belief that prices of materials are due to drop

ing the monument and famous charac-
tiers in Indiana history. 1T seems that
indianapolis folk do not care to rido
up to the top of the monument.
The monument is the show place in
Indianapolis and is the feature Of all
sightseeing tours of the city. Col
Perry, who has Travelled in Europe,
claims that there is nothing finer in
the world than this monument"
He is the fifth superintendent of the
monument since 1t was dedicated In 1902.
1t took fourteen years to build the monu-
ments
The first superintendent was Gen Fred
Knefer, the second Col. George W. Par
ker, the third Capt. J. c. Miller and the
fourth Capt. John Schley. who is coz
fined at one of the local hospitals.
Although 50, Col. Perry is about as
active as a man of 80. He is optimistic
and his knowledge of history, especially
that part concerning the wars this coun-
try has been In. is marvellous. He is a
walking reference book on history.
Col. Perry has transformed the large
basement of the movement into a war
gallery, where are hung many pictures
of war heroes from Indiana Of all the
wars that this country has been engaged.
Splendid pictures of the war presi-
dents, as well as the war governors Of
this state are to be found in the gallery.
Col. Perry is now installing large
frames or racks on which will be placed
thousands of views taken during the
