with George about the baseball race,
but it was hard to make any progress
against the current of chatter that
came from Edith and Salter. The lat

royal engagement had been broken

of the story, it seemed to me that he

Edith Meets an Old Friend

At the roadhouse we ordered some
soft" drinks-we could have gotten
anything that we were willing to pay
tol-and then | showed rdltn the Iet-
ter | had written to her father
She made few suggestions and
appeared very confident mat would
land the job,
Ire 'roadhouse" was beautifully
decorated ana furnished Except that
you had to take a long automobile
ride to get there it dad not differ
very much from similar restaurants
in The city. The music was fair and
the dancing extreme.
Nor was there anything to dis
tinguish this roadhouse from a score
or more other establishments on the
outskirts of the city, but this season
1t was 1.-The thing" to go to this par
ticular place.
We had been in the restaurant
about half an hour when a foreign
looking person strollcd up to our ia
bic. Edith gave a quick start and then
greeted him very cordially.
1t appeared to me that George did
not seem so glad to see him. The
stranger was introduced to Dot and
me as Mr.. Salter.
Edith Immediately began to ask
him great many questions-when
he had returned from abroad, why
he hadn't let her know he was in
town, what his plans were, etc.
George listened in dismal silence.
He had taken one look at the man
when the latter approached our table,
and that one look had evidently been
enough.
Salter? Salter? - Il tried to
place the name. Then | remembered
hearing something about man with
a name like that who had caused
some trouble between Edith and
George. | glanced at the man at our
table. He was thin waspish-looking
chap, black hair, black eyes, black
mustache twisted into sharp points
| didn't think much of Edith's taste.
Salter left us for moment to
make his excuses to his friends and
then returned to our table. He seem
cd completely at his ease and quietly
ignored the fact that George avoided
speking to him. He addressed most
Of his remarks to Edith, although he
occasionally included Dot or me in
the conversation.

HE PARABLE OF THE LECTURE
ABOUT EUGENICS.

There is a good woman who seek
eth every now and again New Tail
fer her hite, and among the last Of
these appendages is the science Of
Eugenics
And she came to see KeArah, and
bcscugnJ her that she would bring
Safed and haer a Famous Woman
Lecturer on kugenics.
And she said, Safed will not be dis
turbed if there be no other men.
And We went, | and Keturah, and
| sat back, but | saw and heard al!
that was said and done
And the lecturer told how many
Defective children were born, and
how many Morons were born, and
how many children were reared in
Unwholesome Surroundings, and how
the world was on the Toboggan be-
cause no one had known the Science
Of Eugenics. And | am afraid that
most Of what she said was true.
And the women sat around her,
and listened with all their ears, and
felt the Importance Of what she said.
And as We went away, Keturah in
quired of me, saying. What didst thou
think Of il?
And | said, 1t was a fine example
Of the waste Of Good Stuff on peo-
pie who have no need for it; and
furthermore it dealt with but one as
poet Of the question and that was
Negative.
And | said, | hope the recording
angel did not notice d little smile
that I had all to myself when | look
ed over that bunch that listened to
the lecturer. For majority of those
women were unmarried, and quite UNI
likely to marry And majority Of
the others were widows, and quite
likely to remain widows, and a major
ity Of the others were married and
childlcS and some Of them more like
ly to remain childlcss than to remain
married.
And as for the rcst, they averaged
ibout three quarters of child apiece
and that function was a Puny and
