Mrs. Warren G. Harding

Harding, "do l get all these7" The
clerk had placed in her hands six BAL
lots, national, state, county, Congress
sional and two on sewer bond issues.
The candidate examined his handful
and said:
"Well, it seems a man only gets a
chance to vote once for himself for
President"
spoke up one of the women voters
standing by. Patsy Kelly, judge of the
voting in Precinct c, is a lifelong
Democrat and friend Of Senator Har-
ding. He was almost bursting with
pride as he drew back the curtain for
the Republican candidate to enter q
booth and called out:
Warren G. Harding, registered No.
1875" The curtain dropped, eoncealing
all of the candidate except about a
2-foot section of his blue trousers. In
the next booth was Mrs. Harding.
If Senator Harding voted anything
but straight tickets he worked fast, for
he was outside handing his ballots TO
the clerk in very short space Of time,
and soon Mrs. Harding was there with
hers.
"You put 'em in the box, Senator"
called out one Of the movie men. But
the candidate demurred and the clerk.
suffering greatly from stage fright
finally succeeded in stuffing into the
box ballot representing the desire of
Senator Harding concerning the cleo
ton of Mr.. Harding for the Presidency.
The Senator and Mrs. Harding
emerged from the garage, glanced up

off in their machine for Columbus.

The streets Of Marion were thronged
tonight, but the crowds in response to
a suggestion from the Marion Civic
Association, left the cause Of it all
pretty much in peace. The town is
going to celebrate Thursday. Then
there will be parade from the bust
ness part of the city to the Harding
home and speech from the next Pres
ident from that best of all stages, his
front porch.
One of the most gratifying features
of the returns tonight, in the estima-

the result in the Senator's home dis

The editor of the Star began to shake
hands with his callers, again assuring
them that on Thursday he was coming
down once more to put the paper to

Then Mrs Harding was presented
with the box of chrysanthemums and
made her initial appearance as a front
porch speaker.

next first lady Of the land. "You have

Friends of the candidate camera men,
newspaper spondents and other
voters, wera grouped about when the
Senator arrived. On this occasion
Frank Blackston, who drives the Har-
ding auto just as fast as Mrs. Harding

Senator himself, and entered the struc-

George B. Christian jr, the Senator's
secretary. Inside five canvas curtained

but, like hats, they must be selected
with discrimination.
Manufacturers make the becoming.
ness OF face wells a constant study
and their elaboration with odd fig-
ures, to add interest and vivacity, re-
veals a world Of ingenuity. Dots used
to be the story of their establishment,
but now everything on the face of the
earth appears to lend suggestion to
the veil makers.

TF THE chic young woman whose

to turn slowly around. and lot us sum
up the details Of her perfect costume.

things In outdoor summer dress-ele-

retains only flavor Of sport styles in
street dress. 1t Is spirited but quiet,
and possesses both vivacity and dig

The suit, consisting of skirt and
smock, may be imagined in linen, or in
suitable silk weaves or in certain cot
IONS, linen having the preference. Its
long smock Is set of by groups of
tucks with an embroidered band be-
tween them. all done with unimpeach-
able neatness. Elbow sleeves make
one wonder that anything else was
ever tolerated for summer weather,
and, whatever the material used, four
fiat pearl buttons find a place on
these turned-back cuffs. The smOck
is split and turned back at the throat.

Judging from reports from druggists

large majority of those whose applica-

that they have the disease. It is on sale

FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY
ms IS WORTH READING


The experience of Mr.. E. ]. Tou-
palik, 1438 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account Of the length Of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: "I have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-s;x years and every winter
I would catch cold and become SO
hoarse could not speak for six or
eight weeks. I could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter I was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time I had
used three-fourths Of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA. will
be constantly in my house. 1t is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh Of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching. gas, Indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
pE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form.

New Yorker Recalls Delightful
Evening With Twain.
Satisfied That He Saw Great Humor-
ist at His Best When He Sat by
the FiresIde and Smoked
With Him.

1t is only about forty years since
spent most delightful evening with
Mr.. and Mrs. Clemens at their newly
built home in Hartford, yet the Sun
and New York Herald refers to the
house as lone of the oldest residences
in New England from the point Of
construction" says the writer of a
letter to that newspaper
Undoubtedly your reporter wrote
that 1t was lone Of the oldest" and
he was right. The types were guilty
of characteristic prank.
We sat In front of n goodly old
tobacco as Mark liked-that is, he and
I did-in the lOng-stemmed clay pipes
they call churchwardens, while Mrs.
Clemens looked on with smiling tOler-
alton, contributing the gracious charm
OF her presence to the entertainment
he was giving to casual guest who
had scant claim to the hospitality he
was enjoying. l had called as strang-
er on professional business and had
been received socially.
Clemens was at his best-and let me
say that best was never bettered by
anyone else. His mOnologue of mar
rative and epigrams was drawled out
through a long evening, as laughed
and Mrs. Clemens smiled, and Mark
busted himself cleaning, burning out
and filling pipe after pipe-there were
a dozen Of them standing in the cor
ners of the fireplace-and handing
them to me or lighting one for himself
as fast or even faster than they were
needed. There were two Of them alight
all the time.
1 wish could remember what he
said, but can recall only one remark,
and that was too trivial to repeat,
though 1 laughed at it as heartily as
I did at all the other nonsense. 1t
was not what he said so much as the
way he said 1t.
p. T. Barnum, the great Snowman,
told me that he. too, kept on laughing
all the. time Mark Twain talked to
him. But my wife doesn't" he said.
Mrs. Barnum has not a very keen
sense of humor and she is little
afraid of laughing at the wrong time,
so she sometimes seems unappreci-
ative when Mark is really funny even
for him.
"She has found out for herself,
though. a pretty good rule to go by"

quently visit with Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn
ems, and I noticed after while that
she was always watching Mrs. Glenn
ems, so I asked her why she did it.
and she told me that it was because
Mrs. Clemens did not always laugh as
other people did when Mark spoke.
But when she laughs said Mrs. Bar
mum, 4 know it must be really funny,
so l laugh, too
IT call that pretty shrewd," contin-
ued the old Snowman with one of his
own hearty ha-has. land I took to
doing the same thing myself. 1t work
ed well, must say. for l noticed after
while that Mrs. Clemens never laugh
ed excepting at the very best of Marks
jokes. suppose she must have got
tired laughing all the time before
that"

time after that wonderful evening, but
never felt that knew him any bet

and now he had understanding and
judgment.
He whirled about to face his young
partner. "Well, Bill, 1 believe that ]
will go away for little while. 1 have
feeling that would like to visit the
old town where l went to college, to
see the old landmarks, to see the hoys
and girls grown up into fat and for
ties.' have been considering 1t for a
long time"
Bully for you," said Bill warmly.
I'm terribly glad and relieved too, in
way" He smiled. a mischievous
twinkle in his eyes. "I'll be glad to
have you and your good looks out Of
the way for while. You Know that
advertising agency across the hall
from our office? Well, they have a
new employee, widow, to write ads
for them.
Everybody in the building has fallen
for her. She is not exactly beautiful,
but the woman has something, sort
of subtle charm, that makes men just
naturally gravitate to her You have
a feeling that she is thinking with you,
anticipating everything you say, un-
derstanding YOU"
''Why, Bill, I never heard you talk
like this!'
Harlan is worse than I am. He's
been sending her flowers for a week
and books of poetry and everything
like that. She's so darn sensible. You
wouldn't believe woman could be
like that. Why, she writes stories and
poems and things for magazines. This
advertising business is just side line.
She says there's so much money in 1t
that she just can't turn 1t down, and
then she likes to travel, she says, and
meet new people all the time.
"Gives her ideas Believe me, If she
will take me along, I'll pay all the
travelling expenses for both Of us the
rest of my life. Old Harlan says that
If we can keep you out of the way for
a while-you know how 1t is with wid-
overs. Jim. when they do start out
We are just naturally afraid of you"
Bill was laughing. Anyway, I'm sure
glad that you fell for our idea and
that you are leaving town soon be-
cause I'm going to try some quick
work on Mrs. Mary"
$50 her name is-Mary7" Jim won
dered why his heart thumped so hard.
The grippe must have played havoc
with him.
"She's got cute name, Mary Nc
Ghee Martin. She signs her stuff Mary
McGhee. Now. most women put on
lot of superior airs and say that their
stories brought red cheeks and ev-
erything. but she's different. They
say old Morse pays her whoOping
big price for her ads.
Jim flicked the ashes from his cigar
with hand that trembled n little.
"I'll be down to the office in the morn
ing" he remarked casually, hoping
that his heart was not pumping all the
blood of his body into his face, as he
felt 1t must be doing, from the heat
in his throat and cheeks.
I'm not in any great hurry to start
on my little trip. Perhaps 1t will be
pleasanter to go little later on!"
And something as subtly new and
indescribable as spring magic itself
