 Katherine Miller laughs exquisitely. When I heard Bob's laugh mingled musically with hers, as they worked at my kitchen sink. l stood up as rigid as the fine sladioh stallss l had been cut ting
 understood for the first time certain little criticism my husband had recently made of my voice. Bob and I were waiting in q noisy station for a train, and l was telling him something important. in nervous high tones, when my husband inter rupted me abruptly:
 You're talking too loud. like con- tralto voice, you know
 Bob didn't intend to be brutal-he ! never is that-and I didn't intend to De | touchy, although I sometimes am, ] suppose, I realize that my voice is often strained and perhaps unpleasant when I am compelled to raise it. Bob has said, so considerably, at such 1 times:
 Softly. girlie'
 And I have wanted to hug him for his gentleness. And so it is no wonder that I was surprised when he spoke as he did in the railroad station and that I had to turn from him to con- ceal my tears. I couldn't go on with my bit of news, and Bob never noticed when I stopped speaking.
 The reason for his snarp cr1rlcism ] came to me in flash as 1 listened to i Katherines low laugh.
 It was the contralto note in her slow 1 speech which my husband had con- trasted with my rapid flow of words and my high pitched voice. Remem bering her contralto. Bob was irritated and exasperated by the inferior quality of my soprano, and for the first time in our welded life.
 I sat down on a garden bench and listened to the duet of small talk in the kitchen. Of course. I couldn't hear what they were saying-I wasn't lis tening in that sense. Ii was taking Bob and Katherine an unnecessarily long time to finish those dishes. My little revenge for their ride wasn't proving sweet.
 I analysed Katherine's laugh: It was too even. it was always exactly the same. It sounded as If she had prac- ticed it like an actress. Probably

SIX ARTISTS AND BUSI- NESS WOMEN SING PRAISES OF ROBBED HAIR
BY DJunA BARNES

NEW YORK=Here are six reasons for bobbing your hair:
 FYrst=Henriette Reiss, wife of Fritz Winold Reiss, the painter, who is her self a designer of theatrical and loung- ing robes:
 T do not say that every woman should cut her hair" she says, That would be as ridiculous as to affirm that every man should wear his long; all I do contend is that some women were born for the short cut, that's all. some faces were made for hair that comes just about the ears. Mine, for instance, never looked right until I cut it. Now it has a certain beauty of line"
 Second on the list is a woman editor. Miss Millia Davenport.
 ana busy woman" says Miss Davenport T have only so many hours a day in which to accomplish my work, which is the editing of the vil- lage magazine, The Quill, and I know that having short hair makes many things possible that would be lost to me otherwise. All women of history have cut their hair at one time or an- other-a few beauties being the ex- ceptions.''
 Most Perfect Beauty
 Then along comes "Lin''-known by no other name, who takes up the ques- ton in defense of the short hair as not otily dn auueQ beauty, put as the most perfect beauty.
 T am a painter. an artist, and a wo- man. I have been told that I am beau tfful, and never once has the thought of long hair entered my mind. I do not hesitate to say, that should long hair enhance my beauty, I should certainly let my hair grow. As for men, they will notice a short -haired woman be- fore long. There is something ire sistfble about locks which stop short at the nape of the neck, something in- eyitable in the swing of hair loose above the ears something elusive and haunting about the line across the

CITIZENS AND LAW.

The great Lincoln's attitude towards the
bred Scott decision OF the supreme court IN
1856 is that of half or more of the people TO-
wards the prohibition decision. That Is to say,
it is the law until more enlightened or better
considered view shall cause it to be overruled.
That decision, which denied the legal existence
Of the African race as persons IN American So
city and constitutional law, was never accepted
by the opponents of human slavery as binding
on their consciences. Many Of the noblest cltl-
zens of the free states still harbored fugitive
slaves and helped them on their way to freedom
in defiance of the law; and the wear and tear on
their consciences never worried them IN the
least, as far as known. -Four years later that
decision was overruled and annulled by the war
1t was a powerful factor in bringing OH.
Obedience to law is not incompatible with
Open earnest, tireless efforts to change 1t; and
any citizen has the ri ght to discuss, criticize,
condemn any law which he holds to be mex
pedient, invasive Of liberties, dangerous Or in
imical to the general good. In fact it is his duty
to do so, for thus only civic liberties be pre-
served IF a majority of the people desire the
liberalization of the Volstead law, they can eff
feet it at the polls next November. They have
only to put the candidates on record and sup
port those on whose views or proclaimed inten-
tons they can rely.

THE LAUREL
NIors

Christian Science Monitor: More
than 100 years $50 a traveller in ia
pan saw a beautiful shrub growing
everywhere in gardens as well as in
woods. 1t had large shining bright
green leaves, and as if to set them
off there were lot of big red berries.
The leaves were always green winter
and summer, and with the coral fruit
made lovely picture. So he got
small plants and took them with him
back to England. In a few years
they grew into large bushes and every
! one admired them so much and
/; thought the berries must be so pretty
that they made haste to get some for
their gardens I'm time you must
come around and see the bush with
! all its scarlet berries" they said to
! their friends.
! But year after year the berries new
! er came. The foliage was almost bet
| ter than anything in the gardens round
and it had yellow spots on the leaves
that helped to set it off. but where
were the berries? The little flowers
came regularly but they just wither-
ed and dropped off. They did not

England under the name of ''varie-
gated laurel Year after year they
Powered and showed their spotted
leaves without further ornament until
one season when they began to have
their berries, and soon all over Eng
land the foliage was mingled every
year with lovely coral fruits.
| No one could make this out until it
was discovered that in Japan there
were two kinds of variegated laurel;
one having nothing but pollen flow
ers, the only berry bearers. But it
was as if the berry flowers did not
know how to make their fruit unless
the pollen showed them. The first
sort brought to England was the one
that only has flowers used to making
berries. But there was no pollen to
show them how to do it, because the
pollen making kind had not yet been
brought. Many years later this was
done, and then the English flowers
were shown how to decorate the bush
with scarlet fruit and from that day
to this the variegated laurel has
borne its lovely crops complete and
spread until it is now one of the COM
monest garden bushes

TIE SQUANDERERS.

Louisville Courier-Journal: 1t seems
altogether improbable that the re-
suits of the Chicago convention will
make it plain that enormously ex-
pensiye nationwide campaigns for
the nomination are more highly
speculative enterprises than laying
heavy bets in the winter book upon
the Kentucky Derby. Nothing would
be more cheering to the majority of
American citizens than such assur-
ance
1t would be depressing indeed to
witness demonstration of the posi-
bility of going out with bullying peck
cts after a nomination and returning
with the bulge out of the trousers
pockets and the nomination in the
inside pocket. In such circumstances,
the millions to whom representative
government is an inspiration and a
glorious fact would feel that democ-
racy had at last given place to the
autocracy Of cash. That would be
true despite all proof that might be
offered that the expenditures of the
candidate best provided with money
were legitimate in that money was
not used corruptly.

TAME THE .sPEEDERs.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: A Des
MONIES judge sentenced two speeders
TO thirty days in Jail for violating the
ordinances OF the city. They were
going down the street at forty miles
per hour with cut-out open. The EVIL
dence was conclusive. And the same
fellows had been in court a few days
before on a similar charge and nom
inal fine was assessed. This time
the judge concluded that it was time
to set the hair" on these fellows
| and his sentence was thirty days il
jail. The fellows pleaded good fam
lilies and the disgrace that would be
brought upon them. 1t would be an
lrreparable stain on their family es-
tutchions. But the judge was obsti-
nately firm. He stood pat.

cine that will cure the speed mania.

| Herein lies the trouble with these

others as having any rights entitled

all restraint and if they perchance
run Into and kill somebody they then
justify their course by saying that the
other fellow ought to have kept out

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE

"EvEN THIS SHALL PASS AWAY"
Once in Persia reigned king,
Who upon his signet ring
Grsyed a maxim true and wise,
Which if held before the eyes,
Gave him counsel at glance,
Fit for every change and chance
Solemn words, and there are they:
Even this shall pass away
Trains of cames through the sand ., 81.
Brought him gems from Samarcand;
Fleets of galleys through the seas
Brought him pearls to match with these
But he counted not his gain,
Treasures Of the mine or main;
what is wealth" the king would say;
Gwen this shall pass away"
In the reves Of his court
At the zenith of the sport
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his jests,
He, amid his figs and wine,
Cried: 'Oh, loving friends of mine!
Pleasures come but not to stay;
Even this shall pass away
Fighting on furious field,
Once d javen pierced his shield;
Soldiers with loud lament
Bore him bleeding to his tent;
Groaning from his tortured side,
pain is hard to bear" he cried,
But with patience, day by day
Even this shall pass away.
Towering in the public square
Twenty cuhits in the air, ..
Rose his statue, carved in stone,
Then the king disguised, unknown,
Stood before his sculptured name,
Musing meekly, What is fame?
Fame is but slow decay
Even this shall pass away.
Struck with palsy, and old,
Waiting at the gates of gold,
Said he with his dying breath
Life is done, but what is death?"
Then, in answer to the king,
Fell a sunbeam on his ring,
Showing by heavenly ray
even this shall pass away
