Mildred came for me in her limou-

before the house, and to observe the
faces in the window when we entered
it.
We spent an hour in the fitting
room, and then 1 ordered a new after
noon gown and a delicate blouse.
Mildred had ordered quantities of
things. another gown, tea-gown, and
an evening cloak.
"I had to order something, so I
might come along and be fitted at the

me envious. and I made no response.

You talk as if I intended to give

Mrs. Stowell is no sign I don't also
like to be with the girls. But you

HITS THE CHURCH
Mexican Supreme Court in
Precedent Making Decision.
Will Affect All Property Held
by Catholics.

Mexico City. Jan. 26.-The supreme
courts decision in the La Piedad case.
whereby Catholic church property in
the state of Puebia has been turned
over to the government, is asserted by
the newspapers here to be of vast i'm
portance inasmuch as it established a
precedent for future Investigations into
church holdings. with their possible
reversion to the government.
The Sociedad de La Pieda. (Society
of Piety), was organized several years
ago with headquarters in the city of
Puebia and administered vast holdings
in that state. In March, 1915. civil
action was brought against that So
ciety in which claim was made that
it was merely mask for the real
holders-the Catholic clergy in the
state of Puebla. who under the fed
erai constitution, are not allowed to
own or administer such property.
The state courts ruled against the
society. maintaining that the property
was ''irrogularly' obtained in viola
ton of the federal and state laws, and
ordered that the holdings revert to the
care of the. federal secretary of the
treasury, who would administer them
and use the funds for any worthy en-
terprise.
Then followed various legal pro-
ceedings with the society attempting
to retain the properties. But in April.
1918. President Carranza, by decree,
ordered their immediate reversion.
whereupon the society introduced
Amparo proceedings in the supreme
court, which was it's only recourse
under the circumstances.
The case was not taken up until
two months ago, when the supreme
court heard arguments and eventually

From many competent sources in
widely separated sections comes the
opinion that the United States has
now definitely entered upon it's re-
turn to normal conditions. The aver
age business man, says a bulletin is
sued by the Guaranty Trust company
of New York, has come to see that a
continuance OF wartime prosperity
with its attendant circumstances of
credit initiation, high wages. high
prices. reckless spending and public
and private waste. is impossible. He
q has come to see also that the pessi-
mism of a few months ago is unjus-
titled by any intelligent estimate of
the economic situation. Worry and
fear have given way to clear judg-
ment and courage. The disposition
now is to face the facts calmly and
to make such use of them as accords
with the peculiar initiative and enter
prise Of our people. Judge Gary re-
fers to the phenomenon as the better
temper of business men," Governor
Harding of the federal reserve board

of the war, labor was able to turn the

fair advantage. The pendulum now
has swung back and employers are
having their innings. Labor troubles
will never cease until both sides man
