this" Her eyes swept the grounds
about the house, her mind took in
the magnificent house and the staff
of servants she managed so efficient
ly, the huge stables and garages, the
farmlands that lay beyond the gar
dens-and the impressive list of
guests who were coming for the
Weekend.
Media had a social secretary now,
q pretty little college graduate who
kept her engagements straight. filed
in a hand at bridge when someone
was needed (and played such an in
telligent one hat 1t was never a
winning game), planned amusements
so no guest ever was bored, and
placed people at dinner so they new
er sat by people they disliked.
'If this brings you any happi-
ness you are lucky" I answered.
But I don't believe it does"
Media laughed, leaning back in
her chair, and using her parasol to
tease her prize Chow which lay on
the terrace at her feet.
what a lot Of odd things have
happened to the three of us in the
last few years-to you and Shirley
and myself" she answered. I'm
luckiest and happiest. because I was
cold blooded about the whole thing.
Do you remember, Connie, only q
few years ago we were at school and
used to slip away from Mademoiselle
In recreation hours, to buy candy In
the village?"
The dog, worried by her parasol,
got up and moved away from her.
Media went on:
Shirley decided love was the only
thing in life, so she eloped with a
penniless man"
'She was happy enough"
"For a year or so. She got tired
enough Of her romantic young beg
gar, and her poor and virtuous life.
But she was clever enough not to
let her family know 1t. so h made
them settle a handsome allowance
on her before she promised to leave
him."
"But Media
"It's true! She got over being in
love in no time-she told me. She
said it was an experience not to be
missed and she knows better now.
30 she has her allowance, she's get
ting her divorce. and she'll probably
marry the richest man in the city In
q few years."
I had not seer Shirley, SO this was
news to me.
LAS for you-well, why talk of it!
You came off worst of all. I pre-
tended to like my husband. but
married him because I knew he
would inherit a lot of money. He
has and here we are I'm going to
be the social leader Of the country
before I'm dead. AS for him-well
like him as we'll as I ever did"
I smiled to myself. I faneied after
all that Media cared more for hel
husband than she pretended. The
terry zeal with which She kept him
Interested in her to the exclusion OF
everyone proved that. 1t was more
than a desire to be. everything tc
him. She was too lazy to work &c
hard for just that.
The first carload Of guests appear
ed in time for luncheon. Media
moved away to greet them, a slender
figure that walked with careful
grace, in a gown of cream chiffor
and heavy filet lace. a figure tina
suited exactly her terraced garder
and white peacocks and her private
strip of ocean.
It was the sort of weekend party
Winthrop would have adored.

There's no fool Exc the middle aged woman who dresses like a Chicken and tries to act like one.
 Father is praying for warm weather so he can save coal. But Mother IS praying for cold weather so she can exhibit her new furs.
 What has become of the o. f. man who could get square meal by wal loping half a loaf of bread in q plateful of gravy?
 We know one man who is con vinced that All Is For The Best. He has just had look at the girl who turned him down ten years ago and married another fellow.
 Women are pretty smart. When the styles dccreed that the skirt must reach the shoe tops they saw to it that the shoe tops came up to the knees.
 It may seem paradoxical. But it is a fact that a man can be his own best friend and his own worst enemy at the same time.
 And the fact of the matter is that there are almost as many Modern Inconvenience5 as there are Modern Conveniences.

 Gov Clement says the remedy for the situation rests with the people, and, of course, it does. He contends that the people should insist that their rep resentatives curtail Federal activity, and that all pro- posed Federal Constitutional amendments should be submitted to the people at referendum elections in stead of to Legislatures elected for general purposes and subject to influences from organized societies and politicians.
 Gov Clement makes the mistake, however, of limiting growth of the centralization processes in the country to the last decade. It began much earlier in our history, and got much beyond the in tention of those who made the Constitution long before the war between the North and the South. That resulted in a marked stride in the restric tion of the powers of the States Gov. Clement com plains that the sixteenth seventeenth and eighteenth amendments invasions of State constitutions and that they forced upon the people through or ganized politics without the people having op- portunity to express their will. The charge could be made with reference to the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, the result of the between the States. These amendments made necessary, perhaps, by the war, and the thirteenth and fourteenth, at least, were absolutely just and proper, yet they infringements upon the constitutions of the States and they put into the Constitution by questionable methods.
 The great stride toward centralizaton the adoption of the Federal reservation schemes quarter century ago, which was further ad vanced during the administration of President Roose welt, and not corrected since that time.
 Gov Clement says the greatest danger menacing the United States is not from without, but that 1t is the danger of disintegration from the destruction of governments through the constant centraza- tion process. He admits that centralization of authority necessary during the for the prn cipal purpose of the formation of Federal Govern ment for the National defense But having re- turned to peace he thinks should return to the ways of peace and attempt. to rehabilitate States that might continue to have government by the people in this country.

The reuhest of Alaska cannerymen for the priv lleee of holding their trap sites for 1921 without ropairing or rebuilding the traps, by simply paying the annual license tax should be granted without nttbbling The Alaska cannerymen have had a dls- asterous season. and the indications are that the demand for canned salmon will be so light that man! conneries will be unable operate next year Under the circumstances it would not be fair or right to compe the cannerymen to rebuild operate traps at oss or sacrifice the trap sites as consequence It would be very foolish waste of time and energy and an unjust punishment to the cannery owners who have suffered enormously from the market con dtions of the last year.

Same Old Story, Flowers Go to De

Same Old Story, Flowers Go to Dead
After Private John Monson, hero
of the Lost Battalion, the man who
carried the message through the Ger
man lines in the Argonne which re-
united that organization with our
forces, had died the other day in OBJ
scurity in a New York hospital and
his body had been carried to the
morgue, New York discovered him
and gave him a whale of funeral.
We are able to make a great splurge
and spend a lot of money over dead
hero, while letting thousands of living
heroes fight tuberculosis with poison
gassed lungs and get along as best
they may, when cheerful surround
ings, good care and absence of worry
and a little spending money in the
form of a bonus would seem like
heaven to them, besides giving them
a chance at recovery.
That kind of hero worship not only
would honor the hero but would honor
us while accomplishing something.
Victims of Red Tape
Penniless because his compensation
had not been granted and sick with
tuberculosis, Jacob Miller who fought
for civilization in France, worked for
it in the western harvest fields until
exhausted and he was taken to a
Kansas City hospital where he died
July 4, victim of the red tape of the
slow government which had drafted
him in hurry.
A farmer found him on a patch of
grass where he had laid exhausted 6
hours in the sun, and a charitable or
ganization sent him to Kansas City
where he died among strangers thou
