 Such rudeness!" Mrs. Ladybug gasped.
 What shocking manners!' cried Miss Mehita5le Moth.
 They hoped that Buster Rumble bee heard what they said. Anyhow, he flew of in his blundering. clumsy way without speaking to them again.
 Who is this Mrs. Ladybug. to pick flaws in the beautiful Betsy Butter fly" he asked himself savageIy. Who is she to finI fault with Betsy's love ly wings? If Mrs. Ladybug herself had wings. I shouldn't think her chat ter so strange. But a person with no wings has no business expressing his views of somebody else's."
 Buster Bumblebee was so out of patience with Mrs. Ladybug that he lost his taste for clover heads for the rest of the afternoon. And that was a most unusual thing with him. How ever. he could think of nothing but Mrs. Ladybug and her unkind speeches. And at last. meeting Betsy HtIStlI sum- set. he stopped to tell her how we'll she was looking and how charming her colors were. Betsy Butterfly was not vain. She laughed gayly and said. You're very kind to say those agreeable things about me-
 'I can't help it," he replied. "Everybody's not like you" Betsy Butterfly told him. Then you've been hearing about Mrs. LadybuF!" he cried. Somebody has been tattlinE." Ut doesn't natter" Betsy Butter fly assured him. Perhaps it's good for me to know that everyone doesn't admire me-
 Buster Bumblebee didn't agree with her.
 "In have to speak to Mrs. Lady bug" he declared. "Oh. don't!' Betsy Butterfly begged him: for she was as gentle as she was beautiful and never wanted people to quarrel on her account. But Buster BumbIebee had made up his mind and nothing could change |it.

 The girl cast a sidewise look at him.

 Still holding her one hand. Blaze withdrew the other from his pocket and stretched toward her a folded piece of material-"extra thick" chif- ion and the color of ash roses, the hem embroidered with faded blue flowers twined through lattice work formed of the initials M. B. F.
 Gloriana seized it, examined it closely, smothered a hard-suppressed sob into its softness.

We Cannot, and Will Not Accept Is Definite Assertion of Irish Re- publican Leader To- day.
Although London Sees Little Prospects of Early Settle ment, Situation is Not Re garded As Hopeless.

Dublin, Aug IT. = (By Associated Press)-Eamon Do Valera, Irish re- publican leader declared today that the Dai Eireann would not accept the terms offered by the British gov ernment extending to Ireland an offer O. dominion status.
 Means Flat Rejection.
 From the reports this morning in the British and foreign press,'' said MT. De Valera, there seems to ba doubt as to what our attitude is to- wards the British proposals. There seems to be doubt as to whether what l have said or whether our letter means acceptance or rejection.
 .4There ought to be no doubt in any body's mind. We cannot and will not on behalf of this nation. accept these terms.
 There is an Indian proverb read ing: Fool me one, shame on you; fool me twice. shame on me- The Irish peeople will not be fooled this time.
 Denies Sincerity of Offer.
 'It is said we are offered the status of dominion home rule for Ireland the status of the British dominions. Ireland is offered no such thing. The statement that Ireland was offered a dominion status contained two false- hoods. Where is Ireland? There is no Ireland in the terms but two broken pieces of Ireland.
 What was offered was not even dominion status. It was admitted the doninions had the right to seede and could get out if they desired. We are told we must stay in whether we like or not
 Va are not claiming the right to secede. There cannot be a question
