generally don't. They're spoiled by
too much attention and they go
through life looking for the Great
Romance, which never comes"

Marjorie wrinkIed her handsome
brows.

Marjorie laughed.
oh! Stevei He's not q Great
Romance; he's only a Perpetual De-
votiUn."
Diana dropped her little pointed
chin in the palm of one hand and
stared pensively down at the rugs
strewn over the tagged marble
floor.
What a topsy turvy world II was!
she thought How wrongly every
thing works out!
Here was she loving Dale with
every beat of her heart and Dale
dedicated to a lifelong devotion to
Marjorie who didn't care. There
was Alex and Ted both loving her,
Diana, who had never been able to
find flicker of romantic interest
for either of them although she had
married one. And Sylvia adoring
Ted,
Diana sighed and rose.

as they approached him.
He had risen and was waiting for
them, but for the first time in all
his life, his first dance was for
Diana and not for Marjorie.

Great heavens!" exclaimed DR..
F. Fishent. tragically. Beads OF
perspiration burst upon his brow
in little fancy designs as he picked
up a green bottle with a red label
containing q blue liquid.
"what-what is it," cried Mrs.
f. Fishent her face becoming the
color of a whitewashed fence.
Staggering toward a chair. DR.. F.
Fishent Topped into 1t.
II am ruined" he murmured
brokenly. What's the matter?'
asked his wife, tremulously. fear
ing she didn't know what. That's
why she asked.

unable to continue until she had
asked him again.
I'm the name of Heaven, what is
it?" she asked him again.
Tive s-sent that rich Mr.. Gold
rox the wrong medicine! I am a

roW-strtcken face to her horror
stricken one.
With a wild shrek, Mrs. F. Fish
ent fell into a case of sharp surgi-
cal instruments. Painfully prying
herself loose. she went over to her
unhappy husband and laid a COM
forting hand on his shaking
shoulder.

I'VE gods, yes" he exclaimed,
brokenly. The medicine l sent him

Sadly. Mrs. F. Fishent went to

milliner for six new hats, and can
celled her order for an ANTIQUE

Marjorie Ii Suspicious.
( Marjorie Langley took Diana aside
after luncheon.
See here. child. are you going
back to the Bevsn house party to-
night or OF on a honeymoon"
oh. the house party. by all means"
replied Diana hastily. ALEXIS
shore leave is up tomorrow and he
isn't sure where he will be sent, 50
we'Il have to postpone a honeymoon
until he gets a ne visitation"
1t wasn't until she had uttered
that sentence that Diana realized
how relieved she was by the pros
pect OF her young husbands depar-
ture.
What a shameT Surely he can
get an extension Of leave through
his uncle, the admiral?"
Or no, I-we-we'd rather not
ask now and then perhaps he can
get q long time on later and we can
go abroad"
That would be nice" agreed Mar
jorie. "Or perhaps Steve will ask
you to go. for a cruise on his yacht.
He's been planning one for a year
now"
oh no. NOT" Diana was dizzy at
the thought. 1T would be nice of
him but Alex would never accept.
I'm sure"
See here. Di" Marjorie looked at
her niece curiously. have you been
flirting with Steve?"
Diana's flush did not bear out her
-
or course not! How ridiculous
Wat ever made. you ask such a
thing"
"Well-knowing your propensity
for just naturally subjugating men
for one thing. For another, your
assurance that Alex wouldn't be
cruising aboard Steye's yacht. And
the third"
'Yes-and the third" prompted
Diana breathlessly.
Marjorie was scrutinizing her
pretty niece closely.
The third was the way you and
Steve looked at each other back
there at the table a little while ago
Diana, are you keeping something
from me? Was there more to this
mad marriage of yours than a
youngsters escapade?'
Diana found it difficult to avoid
the gaze of MarJorie's dark eyes
The latter seemed to have uncanny
intuition. Diana knew an agony of
fear that her secret would be divin-
ed. but she managed a delighted
giggle.
How funny! Did you think I'd
fallen in love with Steve and mar
ried Aleex out OF pique? Oh Marjorie,
that's too delicious to keep to my
self I must tell Steve"
She even made a movement to re-
turn to Dale who was smoking in
the lobby with Alex Leigh while
Sylvia and Ted were deep in con-
Versation on a diven farther down

ing hand.

Debaters Hold
Pen Mghtier
Than SUord

National ornaments were
handed a jolt by pupils Of the
sixth grade OF the Hilton school
when a team of the youngsters
established the supremacy Of the
pen over the sword in a class
room debate Wednesday.
UNFOLDING the proposition,
Resolved, That the pen is
mightier than the sword" the
affirmative team-composed of
Arthur N. Thomas, Ceryl Hack
ley and Eileen Graves-decIared
that the sword and the wars of
the past had caused starvation
and loss Of life and property,
while the treaties penned by the
worlds statesmen had made pUs-
sible advancement of commerce,
learning, art, and science.
The coming armament limita-
ton conference win do more to
advance civilization than any
war" the Affirmative lawyers
said The pen was OF no avail
in stopping the Hun outrages
in the past war. Laws and trea-
dies were disregarded until the
penman, Woodrow Wilson. Used
the sword, which is the final set
. tier of disputes" the negative
team - composed Of ]. Donald
Thomas, Lorraine Hollida and
Donald Reeder-claimed.
Three students-Mary Sievers,
Elsie coleman and Virginia
Gregory-acted as judges. Miss
F. c. Carroll, teacher of the
class, arranged the debate.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER Il, 1921.
This is not an important day, &C.
cording to astrology. Early in the
morning Mars is in a strongly ma
lefic aspect and late in the evening
the Sun is friendly.
} Under this rule irritability and
inclination toward quick anger may
be apparent, so that extra self-con-
troll is enjoined
The sway is not encouraging to
engineers and contractors who may
meet many obstacles despite i'm
proved labor conditions.
There is a sign inimicaI to world
peace and certainly indicative OF
| activity on the part of military men
in the United States.
Shipping troubles again are fore
Swallowed and there may be strikes
as well as accidents at sea.
The stars are most menacing to
the American merchant marine,
which will not prosper until an ex-
traordinary International situation
now indicated suddenly develops.
The planetary conjunction next
month are read as indicating trou-
bles In Lisbon. and grave danger of
war for Great Britain,
Seismic troubles affecting the
Pacific coast are again prognosti-
gated, but they will not occur until
the winter. No serious conse-
quences will follow the earthquakes
in this part of the world.
Revolutionary propaganda will
be widely distributed in the next
few Ronths when there will be d
growth OF radical sentiment. sup
pressed in recent months.
The evening of this day will be
most suspicious time to entertain
persons of importance In the finan-
cial or political world.
After sunset the asking Of IA
vors or the solicitation Of personal
support in any enterprise should be
| successful.
Especial good luck should attend
the giving OF presents this evening
and gold gifts are held to be pecu-
liarly fortunate for the donor.
Persons whose birthdate II Is
should be careful to avoid quarrels
or litigation In the coming year.
Those born in the morning will be
unusually. happy.
Children born on this day are
likely to be excitable and quick
tempered but capable of accom-
piishing much.

to
Represent Italy
AtArmsParLey

Former Premier Orlando will
represent Italy at the disarma-
ment conference which. will be
held in this city beginning No
vember IL.
The following is a brief sketch
Of ltaly's representative.
Though he himself is no
longer a ruling force In his
country, there will be a man at
the coming disarmament confer
ence whose influence on politics
in Italy will be felt.
He is former Premier Orlando.
who guided Italy during the
trying war times. He is a dis
tinguished jurist and is known
as a statesman, rather than q
politician.
Orlando has been described as
the man with the smile" But
FOR all his pleasantness, there
are times when his Latin temper
gets away from him. A member
OF the Peace Conference, which
orlando attended. tells how Or
lando's eyes would flash, how he
would wave his arms about and
talk fast and furiously in Ital-
Ian. He could neither speak nor
understand English. and when
ne became angry he would wave
his Interpreter aside and talk to
the members of the conference
In Italian, regardless Of the fact
that they could not understand
a word he was saying.
The Italian statesman is noted
for his ability to present argu-
ments In a clear and logical
manner. He is not great
orator, but what he says is al
ways to the point.
In appearance, Orlando Is not
a typical Itasan. Lansing de-
scribes him as a short and ro-
tund person, with thick white
mar worn pompadour. and a
bristling white mustache." He
does not have the dreamy, south
ern temperament. The former
premier Is very much alive, and
though he no longer holds his
important official position. he is
still to be reckoned with.
