HIS MOTHERS LETTER
Chapter 50

For a long time 1t seemed that
everything we said, everything We
did. only drove deeper the wedge that
was separating Winthrop and myself
AS I.looked back over our year OF
married life and our but little more
than a year of friendship, it seemed to
me that our love had swung like
pendulum, far out to one side where
there was love and passion and ten
derness and omradesnip-and now
far out TO the other where there was
none of these qualities. At least this
seemed true of Winthrops part
| wondered what the end of this
meant, and brooded over it.
Did all marriages begin that way
with everything to make them beau
tiful at the start. yet nothing lasting
TO make them beautiful at the end?
Did not most people swing through
this emotional arc. and end at dead
level between the two. like the hang
ing, quiet pendulum of clock that
has stopped?
Wasn't that awful dead level even
worse than an active dislike?
The more l thought about it, the
more hopeless the whole outlook be-
came For, otter all, Winthrop and
I we're so totally unlike! And we
did not know it at the start-how
could we? We scarcely knew each
other at all.
To him. represented everything
he wanted - a pretty woman, well
dressed, with the smooth manners OF
the city bred girl, with a certain So
cial position, with a background OF
rivolity.
To me, he presented everything
wanted-a strong, quiet man, sincere
because he knew nothing of the
suavity of the city-bred man, living
among people who were simple and
sincere too, in place where there was
time to rest and to be at peace, and
leisure to cultivate real friends instead
Of feverish acquaintance.

YOUNG SKIPPER IS
TECHNICAL WINNER
Lathrop WithrelI Gets Two Wins over
More Experienced Sailors.

Lathrop Withreu is apparently start
ing out to be his fathers boy when it
comes to sail boating. Yesterday in a
pair of unofficial races off Palafox dock
with ships in the harbor for stake boats,
the youngster won two technical victories
by maintaining the proper course while
in the first event his father missed the
turn and in the second Capt. Cottrell re-
peated the stunt.
The race was around certain schocners
and steamers, leaving all intermediate
vessels to port. Lathrop sailed tho course
correctly and although he was defeated
by his father in the first race and by
Capt. Cottrell in the second, he was
awarded the races because the more ex-
perienced shippers sailed off the course
and passed two barges on their starboard
bands. The second skipper in the first
race failed to finish. Tom Johnson fin
ished second in the last event.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE state
department so far as could be learned
tonight had received no word from
Toxic in response to the informal ex-
PLANTATION made Friday as to the prob
able scope of the conference proposed
by President Harding to discuss Far
Eastern questions.
Officially it is generally believed sew
eral days might elapse before any re-
Spouse would be received. 1t was
openly stated that no disposition ex-
listed to see a hurried reply from the
Toxic government and it likewise was
plain that a confident belief that Japan
finally would join Great Britain, Italy,
France and China in accepting full
participation in the discussions.
Suggestions have been made, it was
| learned that some of the other powers,
notably Belgium and the Netherlands,
possess interests having relations to
the proposed conferences on limita
ton Of ornaments and on Far East
ern problems. These suggestions
have been met, it is understood, with
peared inadvisable to include other
than the five large powers-and China
in the case of the latter conference
in the fulldiscussions. there was no
disposition to close the door to the
smaller powers when questions affect
ing them are up for discussion. This
explanation is understood to stand for
Latin American nations as well as for
European nations excepting of course,
Italy and France.

in China. The councillors are quoted
as saying:
Japan should make participation
conditional on the settlement of all
questions between Japan and the Uni
ted States including opening tee
economic door of all territories in she
Pacific to Orientals."
Many leaders of Japanese thought
| are expressing the opinion that Japan
will have at Washington the golden
| opportunity of her history to make
known to the world her desires and
reach the understanding with the Uni
| ted States which is regarded as so
vital to Japan's future.
Despite the reservations contained
! in Japan's reply to President Hard
| ing's invitation to take part in the
| conference, the answer is regarded as
a virtual acceptance.
It is forecast that when America de-
| fines the problems to be taken up at
| the conference, Japan will prepare q
! list of questions which she deems es-
! sential for discussion. These, it is ex-
pected, will be roughly grouped under
the headings of population, food and
| raw materials, the last of which, it is
i. contended, should be freely available
| to Japan, including cotton from the
| United States and India.
| 1t is generally held that the ques-
| ton of Japanese emigration to the
| American continents and the British
| dominions must be discussed in con-
! nection with Japans population prob
| lem. Japan also is expected to urge
| the according to "most favored nation"
I treatment to her products in all coun-
| tries, and to urge that China be open
| ed up to the world, including Japan,
| for residence and business.
The opinion also is prevalent that,
as the limitation of ornaments is a
world issue, there is no reason why a
discussion of international problems
/ should be confined to the Far East
on the ground that the Far East is a
] possible regional seat of causes of war.
| Several Japanese leaders are quoted
as believing that there are equally
grave possibilities of war in Europe
and as favoring that the conference
also go into such questions as wal
! indemnities, Greco -Turco relations and
| the Silesian situation.

DISTRICT PYTHIAN
MEETING IS CALLED
All Knights Are Called to Meet at
Milton on Labor Day.

District Deputy Grand Chancellor
John II. Collins, of Milton, has issued
a call for Pythian district meeting TO
assemble in Milton on Monday, Sep
TENDER Labor day., at which time
the bridge which is now under con-
struction across Blackwater river, viii
be officially opened with appropriate
ceremonies. Milton has entertained
the Pythians of this district on pre-
vious occasions, but it is intimated
that this affair will surpass all SUCH
efforts, so they are assured Of good
time from early morn till late at night
on this occasion.
The Dramatic Order of knights of
Khoreassan taking advantage of this
large assemblage of Pythians are also
arranging to hold a mammoth cere-
monial on, the same date, at Milton
when it will escort large cross of
Tyros across the arid sands of the
desert to the cooling waters of Fem
Fem oasis, thus it will be seen that
this will be as much a Py.hian day in
Milton as it is the opening of the new
bridge.
