one trivial little anccdotc of Mr.. Mabie.
He was here in Philadelphia on one oc

was conducting him somewhere in the

was only too true that the grass grew
in the streets of Philadelphia And
at that moment a tiny snake about the
size of an angleworm wiggled across our
way; whercupon Mr.. Mabic said, Yes,
and / am sorry to see that there are
sorry despite the twinkle in his eye.
TT Is early to estimate the service OF
l. the late Mr.. Mabic as an author.
il we are talking as is the wont. of that
fine thing, services to posterity. IL we

Mabie. but it is doubtful IL many OF
them so adequately and so wholesomely

writings of Hamilton Mabie perturbcd

to n kindliPr and saner attitude toward

confidence which it is we'll to know

THE BOOK OF JANE
BY JANE LORIMER

When I considered probabilities
calmly, 1 couldn't see how either
Katherine or Bob could know about
the cavern. We might be following
thieves! There must be a guard
for that priceless store of wines. If
so, where was he hiding?
Suddenly my hope of not finding
my husband was blasted. l perceived
how Katherine Miller easily could
have come by the mystery of the
maze beneath Certeis' flower beds.
And why she could enter as easily
as I!
In Mexico, months ago, that hand
some Spaniard, Certeis' friend. had
fallen in love with Katherine. Be-
fore that. he had plotted and intrig-
ued splendidly to re-establish the
rule of certain Spanish aristocrats
in Mexico. That was in war time.
Germany was back of him. Ger
man victory had meant that he
would make himself a little kaiser
ruling in the treasure house of the
world.
When the plot came to naught
he had fled to the mountains, had
led bandits and rebels, had held
Katherine for ransom-and had
fallen in love with her!
1t never occurred to me that
Katherine might know of the trove
of gems under the grand fountain.

CLEVELAND-The future infiu-
n C of women in politics. through
reforms in election laws and meth
DDS. will be largely determined by
the decisions of the National League
of Women Voters on proposals to be
submitted by Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait to the leagues second annual
convention here April II.
Mrs. Gait, as chairman of the
leagues committee on election laws
and methods, is counted on to sup
ply the surprise of the convention.
A veil of deep mystery has been
drawn over the proposals to be
made by her with regard to election
reforms. While outlines Of the re-
ports of all other committees have
Mrs. Gait has declined to give any
indication of the nature of her re-
port.
1t is suggested, however. that the
recommendations may deal first
with plans for greater participation
and influence by women in local
political affairs. This is an off year
in national and state elections, but
is the year when the majority of
municipalities and counties elect
their officials.
Increase Power
By concentrating on obtaining a
larger share in local election mat
ters this year, it is suggested, the
women will be able to present de-
mands more effectively next year
when they come forward with their
program for reforms in state and
national elections.
While Mrs. Cats proposals for a
program of election reform laws,
because they involve the whole flu
ture of women's influence at the
polls, is the center Of interest, the
coming convention will deal with
many other important issues touch
ing women's affairs.
Plans will be laid for continuing
the fight for laws to help the house
wife's fight against the cost of living.
Included in these are:
