he knew she liked "Please!"
Well will" replied Sally, and
hung up the receiver
The air was crisp with hint of au-
tumn, as Sally walked up Fifth Avenue
the next morning. Passing automo-
biles were laden with suitcases and
hat boxes, bearing the labels of for
eign hotels. When she reached the
restaurant where she was to meet
Rex Mallory, she found it filled with
people who had just come home from
somewhere. and were joyously greet
ing people who had just returned
from somewhere else
Not seeing Rex, she sat down on a
wide. cushioned seat to wait for him.
Behind her was a low partition OF
wood and glass, on the other side OF
which were tables And Sally, not
consciously listening to the chatter
of the two women who were lunching
just on the other side of that parti
ton, started suddenly when she heard
her own name mentioned.

were not far from New York, to tell
them of the tragedy and ask them to
come to the funeral service. Patricia
had dropped out of her old world with
her wedding She and Gibbs had had
but little money, and had wisely de-
cided to make no effort to keep up
with their friends; indeed, they had
been so content with each other that
companionship.
And now those who had not seen
the girl since her marriage stared at
her slender, dropping little figure, sit
ting there beside Sally, mute with
grief. The purple and green and red
of the stained glass windows opposite
her threw shafts of gay colored light
on her sombre garb; in her hands she
clutched a few of the roses from the
blanket that covered Gibbs coffin
Sally had heard nothing from Claire
Finch since she left the hotel. Today,
driving to the cemetery, she found
time to wonder about her charge. Had
Mrs. Finch gone into a rage when she
received the announcement of Claire's
elopement with Ned Ralston? What
had been said about her, the delin
quent chaperone? She had telephoned
the hotel twice, but had been told that
Claire was out, and she had been toe
much concerned with Patricia to make
further efforts to get in touch with
Claire
Patricia did not speak during the
services at the grave, but only stood
clutching her few flowers, her heaC

Patty's common sense came along
at this point.
But why on earth shouldn't you!
You have the money, why not spend
it? If you carry that theory to its log
ical conclusion, you wouldn't ever
spend money, simply because other
people haven't got it. And if every

WATSON AND LODGE.

Our neighbor. the Morning News,
today on its editorial page discusses
that Georgia beauty, Senator tom"
Watson. who has been getting excited
over something almost every other
day since he has been in the United
States Senate.
We are inclined TO believe that the
News was far more considerate OF
Watson than the facts justify. The
truth is. Watson is a demagogue OF
the worst type. He makes a nice run
ming mate with that other scholarly
demagogue. Henry Cabot Lodge of
Black Bay.
Watson is a hiSorian. His STORY

OF France today-in French transla-
ton. Of course. Watson distorts cer-
tain phases Of history, notably the
chronicle of the Catholic Church in
France.
Lodge is a historian. His History OF
the United States" once upon time
was read in these States. Lodge dis
torts certain phases of history, nota-
bly, the Civil-War Epoch. And his
hatred Of England is I'll concealed al
that.
Both men are mean fighters with

interest Of the hard-pressed farmer.
The attempt failed Yet the action
then urged was essentially the same
as that advocated now. Each was an

the Federal Reserve Board. Each was
the application Of political pressure at
a spot where political pressure is
above all things to be avoided. Each
was an attempt TO relieve an economic
strain by increasing the strain upon

But what the agricultural bloc in its
early stages was unable to accomplish
