"Of course she is" Joan return

one in this old town like her, not
even your mother, though, per-
haps, you think your mother is all
right" Joan happened to think.
just at this instant, of the CONVEX

n few days previous regarding
Hortense and her mother in which
MARGARET had said:
''Hortense probably loves her
mother just as much as you do
me-"
you are dumb-head, Joan
Hayden, for all you are so smart
in some things"
Dumb about what? If you've
got anything to say. spit 1t out!"
Joan herself never beat about the
bush" in her talk. Often she was
a bit cruel, but she was always
honest.
why. everyone In town knew
he was in love with her. / expect
you will soon have a new father"
As she made the last remark, Hor-
tense edged away a bit as If she
feared Joan's anger might lead to
personal conflict. .....
How dare you, Hortensr
! never shall speak TO
you again! Never as long as
live. My Mumsie would never do
such a thing. Never treat me SO
badly. Anyway, she's too old"
Joan finished az II in spite of her
brave words. she needed some re-
assurance.
"Aumph! Lots Of women, wild
ows, older than she is, get married
And you needn't get so nasty about
1t, either, because heard mother
and father talking only this very
morning at breakfast about it.

1ortense any more.

HORTENSE'S GOSSIP ANNOYS
JOAN.

CHAPTER 20.
It Is no wonder that Margaret
occasionally had misgivings con-
corning the wisdom of her plans
for Joan, yet on the whole 1t had
worked out remarkably well:
enough so that never once had she
considered making any significant
change in them. That the child s
future was pregnant with POSSIBLE
tiles because of her upbringins
Margaret fully realized; possibili-
ties of both right and wrong; Of
happiness and unhappiness. Yet
she had the faith in ancestry, in
blood, in the inherent probity.
descended through generations of
right liivng forebears, to believe
that Joan would come through
clean.
Joan also had something else.
Margaret herself was constant
influence--through her conversa-
ton, her ideals, her reading--she
proved wholesome guide to right
thinking on the part of her child.
She met all the problems connect
ed with Joan in such a spirit of
fairness Cher influence was so
tactfully concealed) that Joan felt
it was she herself who decided
what was right and what was
wrong. She never dreamed that
she had decided through her
mother.
The relations between Margaret
and Joan at this time were pecu-
liar to themselves-perhaps in
way unlike customary relation
ships existing between mother and
daughter.
Margaret loved Joan intensely.
But added to that mother love was
the feeling of responsibility for
her unique bringing up; the in
tense following of Joan's mental
processes: the teacher-like attitude
-camouflaged.
Joan, too. loved her mother de-
votedly. Yet she had adopted an
air OF criticism, of superiority be-
cause of her non-reined youth and
a feeling that her mother was "too
old" too much behind the times
to understand what was really
suitable for her; and who often
mistook her place in the world.
MY mother doesn't butt I'M"
she often said to the girls. yet she
had felt of late that Margaret de-
sired to butt in" that she must
be careful or her "Mumsie" would
do something foolish, or that
would look foolish in one of Num-
sie's age.
Soon after Craig Forester left
town Hortense Thompson said to |
Joan:

AS the season progresses coat
frocks become more popular THAI
ever. They will continue good
even until spring for many dress
manufacturers are making coat
frocks for early spring showing.
The winter models are very swag .
ger affairs made in velvet, duve-

them boast an underdress of silk

but the coat effect with perhaps
a gilet or vestee of lace or white
crepe or flannel.
This frock pictured here is very
effective in its simplicity. 1t is
fashioned of navy blue tricotine
and trimmed with stitching in ma

SENATOR ONERMAN O), Of North
Carolina: The people of all the world

realization OF that devout desire Is
concerned. At least it does not seem
to have been brought any nearer by
anything that is being done in Wash

SENATOR CALDER R) Of New
York: I wish ! could say that ] be
lieved there would be no more great
wars. But l fear there will be wars
until the character of the human race
has changed. The four-power treaty
will. in the end not only keep peace
in the Pacific, but will encourage a
better feeling among those and other
nations. There is no question In my
mind but that 1921 viii be looked upon
by future generations as historys most
important year in the advancement Of
the peace of the world. .
SENATOR HITCHCOCK Cd, Of Ne
braska: / think that public opinion
has grown stronger and crystaliZed
more than ever in support Of world
peace, but | doubt whether any con
siderable progress has been made by
the actions Of national governments.
The i'll feeling between France and
Germany has grown stronger than 1t
was year ago. Armies of the world
are larger than they were a year ago,
with the exception of our own army.
/ But the world is clamoring for peace
st tttlements-and there Is hope there.
] SENATOR CAPPER RJ, Of Kansas:
We have made real progress toward
world peace in 1921 The one great
desire in the hearts of the people OF
all nations is that the governments Of
the world shall come to a common un-
derstanding that will make war more
nearly impossible This feeling Is
making itself felt In such conferences
as we are now holding in Washington.
SENATOR ROBINSON ID, OF Ar.
kansas The question of whether the
world has made progress toward world
peace in 1921 cannot be answered In
the affirmative without some qualifi
cations or explanations. 4 nuOuOleuly
