DANCE ENJOYED
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

The dance of the class of '22
the Junior Glass of the High school,
given last night in the gymnasium
of that building, with Huyler
Romond, as master of ceremonies.
was one of the incest dances given
by any of the Junior classes in the
high school for many years. The
affair was in the form of a Christ
mas dance and the gymnasium dec
GRATED with the Christmas colors of
Red and Green looked most attrac-
tive.
Red and green streamers festooned
TO large red bell in the center Just
over a prettily trimmed Christmas
tree, and the same colors entwined
around the side rails, evergreen trees
planted in conspicuous places, lights
delicately shaded transformed the
gymnasium into a veritable Christ
mas ball room. The music was fur
nished by Johnstone's orchestra al
most completely hidden behind a
bower of trees.
The music was excellent and the
boys and girls enjoyed the program
of dances with it's novel dances,
moonlight fox trots and waltzes and
jolly fuckers. Refreshments of
punch and cake were served all eve
ming in one corner of the floor be-
hind a lattice work or red and
green. The dance was very well
attended by both seniors and jun
iors. and the juniors deserve much
credit for their first social affair.

were Miss Rose Mccormick, Miss
Katherine Ruger, Miss Jessie Gra-

Emily Peterson, Professors Glen
worth Sturgis. Vincent I. Border and
Harold Evans of the faculty and Mr..

The Book of Martha
BY JANE UORINfER

( Martha used to consider her hus-
band and mine the supreme exam
pies of chivalry. She and Ewart,
Bob and /. used TO go on Joyous in
nocent bats" together. usually out
door affairs. like motoring or golfing
or tramping. We had wonderful
good times and was utterly wretch
ed when Martha went back TO her
profession.
Mother Lorimer advised her not
to, but most of her younger friends
are extremely interested in her
plans.
Can a husband and a wife share
different interests in the business
world without disturbing the equi-
librium of their home? That is
doubtless the biggest mating prob
lem of this or any other age, and we
girls all wanted to see how Martha
and Ewart would solve it.
Martha's son arrived to further
complicate her married life. Three
professions. maternity. the law and
home-making made a combination
which left Martha no time for see
ing her friends. We Lorimers hadn't
seen her for many moons.
To me Martha has always seemed
the spirit of work and happiness,
and so l was thrilled with gladness
when she came into my room unan-
nounced, and put her fingers over
my eyes and whispered:
Guess right the first time or I'll
go away"
L jumped and hugged her hard.
Bob had come out of the stupor six
hoNrs before. He was delirious and
he did not know me. To bolster up
my patience and courage, sat at my
desk in the room next to his, and
very mechanically arranged the
sheets of my confessions.
Writing a novel, Jane?" asked
Martha.
Perhaps" said with a sigh.

Martha laughed lightly. then sud
den ters came into her eyes. 1 saw
that her thumbs were set hard into
her palms and held tight by her
pretty fingers and that her lips we're
fixed in a firm line.

Introducing Martha Palmer-A Por-
tia With Hafr sun of Gold

introducing Martina Palmer-A POr-
tia With Hafr sun of Gold
Martha Palmer's beauty struck me
as marvellous every time saw her.
Never had I thought her more ex-
quisite than the morning when she
came to ask about Mother Lorimer
and Bob. Her blond loveliness is so
delicate and her manner so femin-
inc that it is only after have talked
with her a while that I ever remem-
Der that she is about the cleverest
young woman in our town.
In that connection / recall Daddy
Lorimer's joking prediction that a
Portia with hair of spun gold ought
to win all her cases.
"Martha's blondness makes her in
tellect all the more astounding"
commented Bob months ago, to
which l replied. naturally and spite
fully. remembering katherine's yell
low hair:
"Friend husband. you ought to be
we'll posted on the relation of brains
to tressesi'
Bob has always been very fond of
Martha in spite of the fact that she
is a lawyer with more clients than
she can easily look after. Few of
our men friends really care TO talk
TO a highly educated girl, l think, but
Martha Palmer is hailed as "a unique
specimen of her sex and treated like
a princess whenever she appears at
social affair.
She derides openly the men who
fiatter her. / know that when she
talks to Bob she will get the exact
status of the chemical trade, and
Bob will feel awfully flattered by her
interest in his business-but not be-
cause she Is lawyer.
Martha has the sense never to
seem more clever than the man she
Is talking to-" Chrys. the cynic, has
said; while Mistress Ann Lorimer,
who seems positively to revere Mar
tha as a goddess, once remarked:
Martha Palmer reads all the new
books but she never bores you by
talking about them!"
Personally, / have always won
defed what Martha and Ann do find
to talk about when they happen to
be alone together.

STRIKES CAUSE DECLINE
 IN ARGENTINE COMMERCE

BUENOS AIRES.-A falling off
 in Argentina's foreign commerce during the first quarter of 1919, as revealed by the report of the direc- tor general of national statistics to the finance minister, is attributed
 by business interests to labor trou-
 bles and social disouiet which pre- vailed in the country during that period.
 IL is held that a decline of near fly 5O,O00,OO0 pesos gold in the value of the experts compared with
 the first quarter of 1918 was at least partially due to the port strike in Buenos Aires. There was also a falling off in the tonnage of inn ports, although an increase in real values" of 12,O00.000 pesos. Satisfaction is expressed that,
 notwithstanding these handicaps. the report shows a trade balance of
 more than 6O,O0O.OO0 pesos in favor i of Argentina. There has been d
 marked increase in exports during l the last two or three months and ] 1t was expected that the loss for
 the first quarter would be more
 than made up by the end of the
 year.

 Capitalists who find tax evasion profitable refer to the German eco- homie crisis with a shrug of the shoulders and lay the blame to the government and financial politics. ! The Forwaerts states that Ger man leather especially has been sold abroad at prices less than in Ger many. and with no other object than to transfer the producers for tune to a place where it will not be taxed. ... :.- For their own sakes several thou sand illegal traders and capitalists
