CHAPTER &C.

The first fruits Of my chat with Vir-
ginia about spending money gracefully
were plucked by Tom Mason. The talk
ended just as we arrived at his studio,
and promptly l decided to have my bed
room done In the inlaid French woods
and stiff taffetas l had insisted only the
week before we couldn't afford.
You can afford anything here, Donna
Anna" whispered Tom while Virginia
was critically considering the value of
curtains or French doors between Jim 8
den and the bedroom.
I've come to the conclusion that I
can't afford anything but the best for my
home" l replied stifly.
I'D give you the best, whether you or
dered it or not" declared Tom. 81 want
everything around you to be perfect. I'm
building your nest; you'll bave to remem-
Der that at every turn. You'll have to re-
member me. My work is there In your
own room with you-where i"
With burning cheeks I darted across
the room to Nirginia's side. Whatever
barrier of reserve had heretofore kept
Tom Mason from making himself com
pletely obnoxious to me was gone now.
l realized that l had always hoped he'd
turn out to be a real friend, one in whose
sincerity 1 could trust and on whose
Judgment l could rely.
"Virginia-we've linens and silver and
pots and kettles to buy today" I said
breIthlessly. Let's decide on the
French door with the little curtains. And
now we're through. When win you have
the things in the apartment, Mr.. NIason?"
I added. turning TO him with an air that
was meant to tell him that our rela-
tons were strictly business from now
on.
"Oh, by the end OF next week. I'll tele-
phone You" he said with no air of know
ing he had been dismissed. Now. may
I take you leadies out for a bit Of
lunch?"
No. thank you" said coldly, so
coldly that Virginia thawed the conse
quent ice with a bit Of explanation:
We've such n lot to do. Mr.. Mason.
that lingering for a mans idea Of lunch
is out Of the question"
This was true enough, for we hurried
ont to snatch a sandwich and some salad
in a little tearoom. Then we dashed
around all afternoon selecting an endless
procession Of things.
What a real sister you are, Jeanne -"
! said in farewell. when our taxi stopped
at her apartment late in the afternoon.
I'd have been lost without you all
through this Whirl Of hone-making

a scale beyond Eve thousand a year.

rich ?"
Il think we'll always stand by each
other. Anne" she said.

SATURDAY, APRIL 80.

This is a threatening day, according
to astrology, and should be one in which
Important decisions are made with I'M
usual forethought. The Sun and Neptune
are in maefc aspect.
Let him who expects any sort Of an
appointment forbear to push his claims
while this confguration prevails, for he
will meet with opposition and severe crit
icism.
During this sway suspicion is likely
to control the minds of men, whether
they be in high place or of low estate.
A revival of interest in home making
will bring about many improvements In
domestic conditions, it is prognosticated.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may have
rather a checkered year. Success followed
by disappointment may be met. but the
final outcome should be very fortunate.

a small amount Of gum to it, so that the
liquid will not run. Then with a camel S
hair pencil or a new pen, draw the de
sired motif on the silk. After the draw
ing is dry, hold the ribbon over yes

Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1921-04-29

Judge Frank Lair. ton was an active,
healthy youngster who lived in Bright
wood. He had been caught "smokin'
and even carrying "dice" and, the evil
Gence showed, had exhibited a tendency
to keep hours beyond o'clock at night.
'WHPPIN's'
FAIL TO REFORM
His father admitted that he had used
the switch and strap on him but the
"whippin's" had brought about no re-
form. The boys stepmother admitted
that she also had failed to discipline the
boy.
When confronted with the evidence.
Judge Lair invited a number Of fathers
and mothers Of Brightwood, who were in
court as witnesses, to gather near the
bench to discuss informally the question
Of keeping boys off Of the streets as well
as home discipline
Several mothers boosted that they
never had to either spank" or switch
their sons.
How old are the boys?" asked the
court Of such parents
When informed that they were not over
years Of age, Judge Lahr smiled and
said, You just wait until they get about

Judge Lahr chuckled and said: 81 al

Then Judge Lahr excused the boy and
continued the case 1ndefnitely," besides
ordering the boy to so to the home of
his father in Brightwood.
Then the court, the fathers and the

Statutes.

Some clever Englishman, comment
ing on French politeness, once remark
ed that when Frenchman bows, two
thirds of the bow is to himself. That
may be true, and we have to admit
that even the other third is quite a
fraction more than most Anglo-Saxons
offer.
Saluting is the same proposition. A
snappy salute pulled by buck to the
most second Of second lieutenants
draws heavy interest; and the colonel
who Jerks his hand few centimeters
from his still affixed cigar is only in
sulting himself and the army.
If some privates were a little more
polite to themselves, the sdihting trap
never would be sprung and the joke
would all be on the other side of the
military fence.-Stars and Stripes.

Marathon races in the woods will
never become universal for the reason
that speed and stamina like that Of
Buell. Crannell's dog are not universal
in the four-footed hunters" says War
wick s. Carpenter, secretary Of the
conservation commission. ''Mr. Gran
nell lives at West Glens Falls, and
while hunting near there recently his
dog picked up a fox track. The dog
was picked up next day near Gran
berry lake, more than seventy miles
away.
Accounts do not state whether the
dog was still going strong or whether
he might have taken the fox back to
Mr.. Crannell, but simply that identifi-
cation of the dog was made by the
conservation commission license tag
and that Mr.. Crannell went after the
dog.
'"The moral Of all this is that IL one
owns a dog good enough to run fox
through two counties she should sure
ly be protected by an Identification

VERMIN OLD PEST OF ARMIES
Reference to Them Found In Writings
Of the Romans, and in English
Literature.

The newspapers have had much to
say about the "delousing" Of the re-
turning troops, Philip Hale writes in
the Boston Herald. The word is not
a pretty one and 1t is not to be found
in the dictionaries, but the war has
brought with 1t many new words, some
Of which will disappear, some Of which
will soon be regarded as orthodox and
Of good and regular standing.
No soldier need be ashamed Of nee
essary submission to the process. 1t
may console him to recall the case Of
Thomas Otway, an Oxford man, the
author Of "Venlce Preserved" and
"The Orphan" As cornet in a regi-
ment of horse, he Joined in 1878 the
army under Monmouth in Flanders.
It was reported that he came back
from Flanders "mangy and covered
with vermln." Rochester tainted him
with this in his Session Of the Poets"
It should also be remembered that
when the troops were disbanded and
recalled, the money voted by the COM
mons for their payment was misap-
propriated. The soldiers were paid
only by debentures, and the credit Of
these was so low that they were hard
ly salable.
1t was observed in the sixteenth cen
fury that "lice cometh also Of that
cloth that is trained in the wool with
the fat or grease Of horse or Of a
swine, and therefore the northern
cloths worn of a sweating body do
breed lice In IL hours" The "humor"
of an Individual had much to do with
the character Of the pest. Lice gen
dered of sanguine humor were red and
great; of phlegmatic, white; Of choler-
ic, yellow, long, swift and sharp; Of
melancholic, ashen colored, lean and
slow in moving. Anyone Of these pests
"grieveth more in the skin with the
feet and with creeping, than he doth
with bitin. And the leaner
that louise is, the sharper she biteth
and grieveth." There were many ap-
proved remedies even in the elder
Pliny's time, thus: '"The old skin or
slough that snakes do cast off in the
spring, whosoever drlnketh in his or
binary drink, 1t will kill all the YER
min of the body within three days"
