MY new novel Fair to Middling'

peared, is the story of a woman 1
knew intimately" says Miss BARLEY,
land her story is strangely similar to
many thousands of other women's
stories. Therefore, / argued. it is the
story of the people and perhaps they
will recognize it as such. Dare Lar
kin. the heroine for want of better
name, is neither perfect nor impossi-
BILE, a genius nor a nonentity. She
does not have everything happen just
as she plans or hopes and she does
not end in the final chapter as rosy
checked and light Of heart as when
the action of the novel begins. But
she has kept her sense of humor and.
even more important. her sense Of
tolerance. and deserves to be written
about!'
ABE very quickly learned how to
said Mr.. Gollaher. but figures seemed
to worry him lot. After he was able
to say arithmetic correctly, he took
more interest in addition and sub
traction. He certainly made a mighty
slow start in sums and a mighty fast
start in everything else in the way Of
learning. I reckon his forwardness in
reading and writing made him seem
more backward in arithmetic than he
really was Before he left Kentucky
he claimed he could count up to one
hundred and said he didn't believe he'd
try to learn anything more about fig
ures. Missus Sarah insisted that he
count to two hundred by saying, one
hundred one, one hundred two, one
hundred three and so on, but he told
her that he could count one hundred
dollars, and that he didn't expect ever
to have that much money."-From

Plan for Record Attendance At
YaIe-Harvard Event on
June "a.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, June AL
though the present Yale crew has
been beaten by more opponents and
by greater distances than any ELI
octet in many years. there Is every
indication that the Yale-Harvard re-
gatta at New London, June "a, will
be the most largely attended of any
ever held. Indications are that the
athletic associations of the two uni
versities will be unable to meet the
demand for tickets. and the request
for garage and hotel accommoda-
tions in New London and Norwich
has made II certain that the auto
mobile contingent will be easily the
most numerous ever assembled for
an American college boat race.
1t is not likely, however. that the
yachting delegation will be quite
as large as usual. Since the world
war yachtsmen have been unable to
muster either in number or quail
ity the craft which assembled for
aquatic events before 1917, and al
though the yachts which ride at
anchor on the Thames at the Yale
Harvard regatta will be considerably
larger than last season there seems
no reason to expect that IL will
equal the ante-war assemblage.
PLAN FOR OBSERVATION TRAIN.
The Yale and Harvard rowing
managers have arranged for as large
observation trains as can be Sc
cured on both sides of the Thames.
the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad running the larg-

ern side of the river, and the New
London Northern railroad on the

This year the price of the tickets
will be sass. This was regarded as
almost prohibitive when 1t was an
nounced last year but the college
managers were unable to meet the
demand for tickets. This year the
demand has been so keen that IL has
been decided to limit the applications
to two tickets to every graduate, and
to request a statement from every
person that he intends to use the
tickets personally.

met Ketchell four years before, but
