in the little country cousin In the hopes
that clothes and the environment OF
wealth would transform her into sue
cessfui lure for nobility.
All during the visit at Madame
Maries, which was long enough Tor
Beth to try on nearly every hat In the
establishment, sara battled with her
problem. She could hardly rush madly
TO her aunt and beg her to cease her
matchmaking. Aunt Ellen would favor
her with the quiet, reserved stare OF
good breeding, then beg her, in a care
fully moduiated voice. not to be so Inn
petuous, my dear, jumping to rash con,
cluslons." Yet she couldn't stay on and
ultimately disappoint her aunts ambi-
tfons. %.
Not once did II occur to Sara that
she might marry that underslZed. mus

enrldom to recommend him. At tho very
Thought there rose to her mind a pic
"f tmpe of the only other man whom she
might have wed, as he stood holding her
hand on the wind-swept station plat
form.
Like a flash came the inspiration that
there was the person to help her-ano
she must get his assistance at once II
she wished to be saved the necessity Oh
refusing the earl.
That night Sara, by the light of her
rose-shaded reading lamp, penned :
long. explanatory letter, the gist OIL
which was as follows:
.Tf you'll come and see me I'll pre-.

with n little pang of homeslckness
she addressed the letter TO HadleyVille
Tho following evening Aunt Ellen
with n little frown, came to Sara
'"There's u young man downstairs whc
wishes to see you. He comes from HAD

Sara's heart lost a beat. How quickly
he had responded! "The-the man J. e1'
Without waiting to see the effect upor

THE DAILY NOVELETTE,
For the LoUe OF Pete
by J, STUART LANE

Sara Brown slowly drew her shabbily

htteenth and final time to marry me-"

stamp picture on his memory that
time would not erase. Something told
him that the same old impulsive. quick
tempered, lovable Sara would never
como back 20 Hadleyville.
A few minutes later Sara sat In the
swiftly speeding train, visualizlng what
lay ahead. Like n bolt out OF n clear sky
had come an invitation from wealthy
Aunt Ellen to spend year with her,
promising the same social and educa-
tional opportunities that were open to
her two daughters, Beth and Elise. And
Sara bound to a tiresome round OF
duties rs underpaid teacher In Hadley-
villes small high school, had been only

In the excitement OF going, Sara had
quite forgotten that che had ever enter

she had not, in some moment of dis
couragement let him see that she was
ready to capitulate. Better no marriage
at all than one contracted as a means of
escape from boredom and low wages,
Besides--might not the matrimonial
chances OF big city be greater than in
Hadleyvllc?
In the weeks that followed It was
not surprising IL Sara's Hadleyvile ex-
istence faded to a dream. Aunt Ellen ac-
cepted Sara as third daughter no less:
The girls days became n round OF
gayety, an orgy Of shopping. theatre
going, dances, dinners. II. underneath,

had little time to wonder about It, will

mnable discussions concerning their
trousseaus. for both were engaged. Beth
to a rising young fnancier, Elise to a
financier already risen.
"It would have broken mamma 8

they drove to the mllliner's in Beth's

Adventures With a Purse

LAVE you had any occasion within
Il the last few months to buy-.-or
want to buy--Irish lace or filet lace
collars and cuffs? Either or both? i
say want to buy" for IL your expe :.
riencc has been like mine you have had
to give up your idea regretfully. The
price of either has been much TOO ex,
pensive. Well, now let me tell you OF
my find--a find that may contain q
Christmas gift suggestion worth having.
One Of the very incest shops in the city
has a limited number of Irish lace col
lars and cuff sets priced at $50 70
$3.50, and the designs are most az.
tractive. And limited number OF hle'
lace collar and cuff sets at $A.0o. In
deed, here is good quality and remarka :
| Bile value. And what a dressing UP "
new collar q nd cuff set will give a dress
that has been worn lot.
Now I could speak from experience
about the collars, but ! am not SO wei,
versed in the matter of lamps. BUT
did go in search Of mahogany lamp
yesterday. and wns greatly alarmed a,
the prices. They are prohibitivc. just
one bargain did find, and it seemed SO
remarkable that / examined the price
tag two or three times before l con :
vinced myself that ! could write about
this. The standard is, / should say
anywhere from fifteen to eighteen inchcs
high, and has two lights. 1t is vel
shaped and graceful, in mahogany fin
ish. The price is $3.50. My thought
was that IL you are wanting lamp
for your own table or to give for Christ,
mas you could buy this standard, and
then IL you could not find n shade pro
portionately low priced at the same
shop you could look around for another
bargain in shades.

TAKE FIGHT
TO CAPITAL
Tennessee Suffrage Injunction Has
Been Transferred to Washington
Where Writs are Being
Asked Now.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The anti
suffrage fight against the nineteenth
amendment was transferred to Wash
ington today when a suit to enjoin
Secretary of State Colby from pro
claiming the amendment was filed in
the District of Columbia supreme
court
Justice Siddons, of the district court
was asked to issue rule for Score
tary of State Colby to show cause why
such an injunction asked should not
be granted. Sidd0ns stated he would
not issue such a rule until arguments
had been advanced to show that he
had jurisdiction.
Charles S. Fairchild, head of the
American constitutional league, who
entered the plea, said he would be
prepared to offer such arguments late
today or tomorrow.
Meanwhile there is no obstacle in
the way of Col5y's promulgating the
suffrage amendment, which he expects
to do as soon as Tennessee certifica-
ton that the state has ratified reaches
him. This certificaton is now in the
mails.
Fairchild asked for the injun ctiOn
on the ground that the Tennessee leg.
islature in ratifying the amendment
violated the state constitutional pro-
vision that the election of a legislature
must intervene between the time an
amendment is submitted and the time
it is ratified.
The claim was also set up that GOV
ernor Roberts of Tennessee violated
an injunction secured there to re-
strain him from certifying ratification
of amendment to Washington.
This is the second injunction Fair
child has sought. He secured a
temporary Injunction in his first suit
but this was later vacated arr the
suit was carried to the court Of ap-
peals where it is now pending.
