IRISH SCENT PLOT
IN PEACE REPORT
Dali Eireann Denies That De
Valera and Lloyd George
Are Negotiating.
CALLED ELECTION TRICK
Pope's Letter to Cardinal
L0gue Read in All Cath
ollie Churches i'm Ireland.

BELFAST, May 22-The Dali Eireann 8
publicity department has issueud a
statement declaring unfounded reports
originating in Belfast that Eamonn de
Valera and Premier Lloyd George are in
direct negotiations for settlement of
the Irish situation.
I'VE long have known of the intention
to mislead the electors on polling day
by spreading such reports when II is too
late for their contradiction" says the
statement. We trust the electors Of
the six counties will prove far too keen
and wideawalse to be imposed upon by a
ruse of this kind"
The election campaign for the Ulster
Parliament is proving the freest from
factional fights of any election in recent
years. and the fact that Saturday night
and Sunday PASSED without serious dis
turbances leads even those who expected
trouble to tn belief that the danger is
past. Feeling runs high. however, and
passions are heated but the careful po-
lice and military precautions up to the
present have kept the factions apart.
The Unionists, whose district Is dec
grated with Union Jacks as never be-
fore, with pictures of Sir Edward Car
son and Sir James Craig displayed

Day service in their churches and
chapels, while the Sim Feiners. whose
colors also had been freely hoistcd, held

He held her off and looked at her
with laughing criticism.
"If you weren't too old I should
say that you'd grown" he said, with
a note of perplexity in his voice.

She made a little grimace,

Peter Dennison came to New

Eva's letter. He had had a dull
week at home without Kitty: IL
never occurred to him, poor fellow,
that she had gone To London to es-
cape him; that she was tired of his
boyish alteration and devotion.
He believed her when she wrote
and said that she missed him, but he
did family wonder why, IL II were
so, she could not have an invitation
to her cousins for him also.
However, he was quite contented
to go to Eva's; he had a very real
affection for his sister, and he liked
Philip.

ONE hot night last week a
crowd of us sought refuge
" on roof-garde9 high above
the city's clamor. And we sat
back and observed youth at play
all about us. At the next table
were four youngsters whose merry
voices and swaying dancing and
adolescent figures proclaimed them
at the prep-school age.
One girl wore a white tricolette
dress which revealed the curve OF
her knees and full section of her
white throat and bosom. Her
light hair was dressed in the most
sophisticated fashion and from
her ears dangled jade earrings to
match the green pipings on her
dress. On her arm was dia-
mond bracelet worth at least a
thousand dollars. And on one
hand sparkled a ring of great
value.
The second girl wore an orchid
evening gown which was just a
ballet dancers skirt and a sug-
gestion of bodice. What those two
young things had on under their
dresses was revealed as reduced
10 a minimum as they swayed and
undulated in the arms of their
young partners.
