BRATmEBoRo VERMONT THURSDAY EVENING,
LLOYD GEORGE is
MUCH PLEASED
All misunderstanding Cleared at San
Reno and Treaty of Versailles
Will Be Enforced.

LONDON. April 20 Premier Lloyd
George speaking in the house of commons
today on the subject of the recent allied
conference at San Reno said that before
the conference there had been some mis-
UNDERSTANDINGS, serious enough in them
selves but made grave by deliberate TO-
menting on the part of very reckless per
sons. But, continued the premier, Il
am glad to say that the sky is once more
clear. SO far as | can see everyone is sat
isfed with what happened at San Reno. :
The premier declared the conference
had been the most remarkable one IN
every respect held since the armstice.
There never had been such conference as
regarded satisfaction with the agreement
by all the parties concerned as the hap
piness which it had been able to bring
abont, he said The conference, declared
the premier. dispelled all suspicion that
the treaty Of Versailles was not to be en-
forced
Mr.. LLOYD George said there had been
no difference of opinion between the
allies as to enforcement OF the treaty. A
misunderstanding arose, he declared, over
the question as to who should put down
the disturbance in the Ruhr which threat
ened the peace not only of Germany but
of Europe. The French thought it ought
to be suppressed by the allies, the premier
asserted. but all the others believed it
should be left to the Germans. This dif-
ference had been settled, Mr.. Lloyd
George said. and the Germans informed
that the moment the German troops in
Ruhr were reduced to proportions fixed
by the allies last August the French
troops would be withdrawn.

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL s. DUFFKg.
MANNERS AND MARRIAGE.

Did it ever occur to you that man
ners have quite as much to do with
happiness in marriage as temperament,
and that many a separation laid to In
compatibility was due more than to any
thing else to plain bad manners on the
part of the two persons most concerned.
And good manners are made up or
attention to a lot of seemingly little,
trifing things.
For instance there is the matter Of
interFupting.
Every one knows this is bad form
and most persons guard against inter
rupting mere acquaintances, associates
in business or society, but they are not
so careful about interrupting members
of their own family.
And a time comes after you have
been interrupted again and again, when
it begins to irritate to the point of ex-
ASPIRATION.
Then there is the habit Of contradict
ing.
You guard carefully against fatty con-
tradicting the man or woman whom you
wish favorably to impress, yet there
are a good many husbands and wives
who do not hesitate to contradict each
other whenever their own opinion diff
fers with that of the other.
Now, don't think just because your
husband doesn't rebel against your
habit of hatly contradictlng him, that
he really is insensitive to it.
II irritates him even If he doesn't
seemingly note it and he would really
enjoy being in your society a little bit
more IL you did not have this bad habit.
So often a man begins to tell some
anecdOte or incident for the entertain
ment Of q guest and before he has got
fairly under way the wife comes in
with: Now let me tell that story,
you're getting it all wrong" or well.
that's the first time 1 ever heard that,
you must have been dreaming"
Such interruptions and contradictions
are boresome to the guests and irritat-
ing and embarrassing to the host who
is trying to tell the story.
And usually the point raised by the
contradiction was some trivial matter
that she might have let go unchaI-
lenged even IL she did feel convinced
that there was some discrepancy about
II.
WHAT READERS ASK.
rs 1t correct for a man to dictate
personal letters to his stenographer in
business hours7"
Social invitations should be acknowl-
edged always personally by hand. Let
ters Of close personal nature should
not be dictated.
II you like you may dictate friendly
letters IN which there is nothing Of .
very personal sort
