It was true then. 1t is true now,
and even with Phoebe happily mar

from my husband and his world
of "Harrisonia" as now. For IL
Phoebe's marriage widened the
gap between Virginia and me in

"Oh. sure" promised the oblig-

Joe was long on promising; his
headquarters were in a cigar store,
to the proprietor of which he paid
a percentage on his ticket scalping
business.
Joe's Unhappy Moments.
Sometimes when trade was dull
the proprietor wondered whether
Joe wasn't a nuisance at any price;
his hours were spent doing the futile
tricks for which the cheap idler
is byword. He would stand for
minutes balancing his hat on the
tip of his nose or making faces for
the benefit Of fellow ne'er do well.
Now and again an irate customer
to whom he had sold two dollar
tickets for ten. would revisit the
place; these meetings were never
scheduled in advance and they were
always painful to Joe.
Some men seemed to have no
sense of humor; just because the
aforesaid tickets happened to be be-
hind post was that any reason for
a personal encounter?

ment and Far Eastern conference first
and talk preliminary conference after
wards.
This is the burden Of a note ad-
dressed to Japan by Secretary of
State Hughes, it was announced Off
cially here. The communication was
in reply to Japanese inquiries as to
the scope Of the forthcoming confer
ence and made it plain that this gov
eminent has no intention of forcing
any particular program upon any ma
ton. At the same time Secretary
Hughes is understood to have empha-
sized the point that the likelihood OF
q successful conference would be en-
HANGED were no hard and fast pro-
gram to- be laid down beforehand.
Two Plain Propositions.
Coincidentally with the announce
ment that such a note has been sent
to Japan, government officials let it
be known that there are no objections
to a preliminary conference in WASH
ington, after all of the invited powers
have agreed to discuss the two plain
propositions of the Presidents invi-
tation. In other words, they must
subscribe to this governments conten-
ton that disarmament and the Far
Eastern question are so closely related

So far as Great Britain is concerned,
government officials said that the
"ghost of her efforts to have pre-
liminary conference in London before
all the invited nations have agreed
to come into the Washington meeting
has been laid" 1t is believed here
now that Great Britain is reconclled
to a 'preliminary conference of her
own"
Lloyd George Peeved.
Otherwise stated, it is believed that
during the present and closing week
of the imperial conference at London
on the defense of the realm. Lloyd
George will ascertain the premlers'
point of view with reference to the
Washington meeting. Then if the
premiers are unable to attend the
opening sessions, Lloyd George will be
in a position to speak for them.
It was Rinted here that Lloyd
George would not be disappointed very
much If the dominion premiers were
unable to attend the conference at
all There are reasons for believing
also that he is displeased with the
rather frank reference to the Anglo
Japanese treaty and Americas rela-
ton to that pact by Premier Hughes
